Yes. My screen was as blank as that! :D

Using the Spoiler-tag around an IMG-tag adds a outlined box below the spoiler button

Just scanning some of the issues here and to be frank it seems like shocking incompetence. I run a web development company and a lot of these issues are basic and claims that the staging environment couldn't accurately replicate the production one are weak.

- You can use cache control headers as well as changing version numbers on script and stylesheet includes to force browsers to reload them
- A staging environment can never be 100% the same as production but it can be 99.5% the same, and a proper pre-production UAT environment should include having the exact same server configuration (down to the operating system, web server, databases, etc) and database schema, ideally it should use a restore of the production database, though this is often not practical due to size.
- Basic cross-browser testing appears to have been skipped.

After feedback, we kept them blue.

This is unique to those who have post display set as "Newest First" and we are working on it.

I'm actually not aware of any changes like that. Could you please post a screenshot so I can investigate?

EDIT: OK, I know what you mean now. I missed the word "font". I'll ask about that.

You can ignore that. We had switched them to orange, but then back to blue, upon feedback.

Those posts are showing up for me when I use the former link. Ctrl+F5? It does indeed seem like a caching issue.

Did you not experience that before? I never use the IMG tags (just the file uploader), but that's how I've seen that work on forums since 10 or 20 years ago.

Weird... it happens on multiple devices for me. All Chrome, but different versions, etc.

SIgned in / signed out. Incognito / not. Mobile / not. I just tried it on a brand new device and same thing!

Maybe... some sort of CDN at play here?

CDN?

Sorry, content delivery network... i.e. edge caches that cache content near users (though dynamic content is less common). Just a wild theory that would explain a correlation between multiple devices / etc. on one ISPs or in a specific geographic region.

Or maybe there's something strange about all of my devices. *shrug*

Did you clear your cache?

“This has become a massive mess in an awfully short time, clearly something that was not planned and executed as well as it needed to be.” Oops, that was the SFO runway haha. Seriously though, Monday morning downtime likely wasn’t ideal.

Well, the image uploader disappeared for me with this update and I was forced to use IMG tag for the first time in ages!

Not sure if my image uploader disappearance was caused by the update, but at least that is why I've never seen the outline before.

Do you have the ability to upload now? If not, could you please email me a screenshot? [email protected]

Firefox 69.0 on the Mac.

I was unable to respond to any posts or send any private messages -- the reply boxes were always greyed out. If I tried to quote, the text would briefly display before the box greying out. I went into my settings and changed from WYSIWYG display to simple text, and it seems to be working for now.

E-mail sent.

OK, so support for the WYSIWYG editor was dropped with the update. If you switch to Full CKEditor in your options, you will have all the functions of the old WYSIWIG and more

When I select "New Mentions" ,"New Post Quotes" ,.... I first see the top of the relevant report page and in a few seconds it bounces down to the bottom and I need to scroll back
(Might be related to the added display of the info on the far right side (friends, recent visitors, ...)

FF 69.0, W10, laptop, no helper apps

Does not happen in other browsers

I'll check this out

Ok, understood -- thanks!

Silly question: If it's no longer supported, why is is still an option?

(And/or why didn't the Full CKEditor simply replace the WYSIWYG as the "Enhanced Interface" for anyone who had that selected, rather than just breaking usability completely?)

Because the other editors are part of the core software and can't easily be switched off.

My biggest issue is that after posting a reply in a thread, it takes me to the "last" page of the thread. Since I (and most frequent posters I know) have the "newest first" flag set, that means it takes me back to post #1 instead of staying with the most recent posts.

I'd also love it if you could fix the big with # - it should not automatically convert that to a link and force me to edit the reply every time I use it.

thanks for reminding me how much I also hate that “feature”

My POST QUICK REPLY button doesn't work half the time. Oddly, it works here!

This is because it takes you to your own post in the event that you need to edit anything. I'm obviously replying to a ton of posts in this thread and the way I do it is just open "Quote" in a new tab and close it when I submit, thus going back to the last post I was reading.

The #hashtag or #pound reading as a "website" is due to the hashtag subscriptions you can edit here: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/user...shsubscription

What's your browser/device? Does it work differently in different threads or differently by system you use?

I have NO subscriptions; please explain how to inhibit that "functionality" so that the # symbol appears as a symbol without automatically inserting "url=https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=hashtag" and "/url" in the source code of the post

You don't. It's meant so that if someone is subscribed, they get a notification. But also if someone wants to learn more about, say #delta or #united , they can click on it and find more posts related to that. It's similar to Twitter.

[MENTION=790438]IBJoel[/MENTION] what's the status on fixing the "post in a thread and then get returned to the oldest page of the thread instead of the most recent page" glitch? It's REALLY annoying for those of us who are most active here.

I'll ask. Keep in mind that this is only occurring for those who've switched their thread display mode to "Newest First", so it's not the default option.

My thread display always was set to Newest First. I didn't switch anything. Your system update switched it/caused the issue!

So again I never changed my thread display: it always was and still was Newest First after the update.

As a test, I just changed that to Oldest First and back to Newest First. Same issue--I'm still returned to the oldest posts in the threads for which I post.

I am not sent to the oldest posts when I select any thread, however. It's only when I POST in the thread that I am wrongly sent to the oldest post in the thread.

Right, so the update changed the behavior of how it functions when you submit a new post. I was just saying that no user account is created with "Newest First" selected in User Options.

So when you posted while you had "Oldest First" enabled, it took you to the first page, instead of your post?

No when I changed it to Oldest First it did take me the oldest post. Though I hadn't posted at that time.

so those of us who actually want to use the "number sign" or "pound symbol" as such are SOL, and we have to edit the source code of our posts to remove the default HTML tagging ... I suspect we are a minority of users, which apparently makes that mechanization ok ...

We've bumped this up to higher priority

Hello!

I am one of the longtime contributors to the "Old Timer's Airline Quiz and Discussion" in the Travel Buzz section. I encountered a major problem today while composing a new set of airline quiz items. Following several hours of work, I received an error message followed by my lengthy post being completely wiped out without a trace before I had completed it. I did try to reload but no joy. Usually my posts are automatically saved as I enter them so I can then retrieve them if a problem is encountered while in progress (and this has worked great in the past). However, this did not happen this time. Is there any way I might retrieve my post in progress or will I have to start over from scratch? Very frustrating!

Thanks for your assistance and advice in advance.

I have been struggling for the last two hours trying to finish a (long) post, with pictures and everytime I add some pictures and text, it deletes what I added before. Is there now a limit of the post size ? Pretty frustrating... I am on Mac OS 10.13.6 and using Firefox 69.0
Thanks.
