Posts can't be formatted?

Quid · November 2013

I assume this is on purpose and the formatting bars didn't just crumple in on themselves and disappear. But just in case, they're gone yo. Keyboard shortcuts don't work either.

Sterica · November 2013

Icy likes to keep everyone on their toes.

Henroid · November 2013

Waluigi strikes again. I sense an ARG to get the toolbar back.

Tube · November 2013

I've enabled an alternative as a quick fix, hopefully a better one will come after the weekend.

Delmain · November 2013

So the HTML thing is the alternative? Ok, good.

Henroid · November 2013

Thanks Tube. :^:

Edit - Aw that emote isn't working.

The Dude With Herpes · November 2013

normal formatting tags [i]aren't working either[/i].

Delmain · November 2013

HTML works, but you have to do it in source view mode. If you don't have the bar, try just doing <i>Italics</i>

Tube · November 2013

I found an option closer to our old system. test test test this should work

Shivahn · November 2013

Yay my world makes sense again! Thanks Tube.

people who posted in the interim period where we had wysiwyg will have some weird shit when they get quoted but whatevs

Henroid · November 2013

I did have a brief error where quoting a post converted / added a lot of HTML but it's not replicating.

Tofystedeth · November 2013

Ahh is that what happened? I noticed when I accidentally pasted an image instead of an image URL it actually went in. I was very confused for a bit.

Zilla360 · November 2013

Ah, now the other toolbar with the glossy emotes is back. Any ETA on getting all the good PA emoticons back? :bz :rotate:

Weaver · November 2013

When the original BBCode/formatting bar was put back, it worked. But I'm looking at this MS word style bar over the post box and not only do none of the buttons work, but no keystroke shortcuts work either. I've tried this with a clear cache, no adblock, clean browser.

Weaver · November 2013

Also I tried the forums without a stylesheet and had the same result.

Tube · November 2013

- test

Works for me. I think the problem is on your end.

spool32 · November 2013

Formatting bar appears to be gone now? Is that related to this thread?

zerzhul · November 2013

I am getting that too. I assume they are doing an update of some sort.

Tube · November 2013

I'll try a high level technical intervention

Tube · November 2013

Well, turning it off and on again didn't work.

Tofystedeth · November 2013

I have a formatting bar. Is this the one thing my brokeass IE8 through a work proxy can do better than everyone else?

Essee · November 2013

Formatting bar looks like it's back for me, at least. I mean, everyone probably already knows that, but I figured I'd say it.

Heatwave · December 2013

Is the formatting bar the thing where all the options, like bold and italic, are? If so then mine have been replaced with sqaures.

Tube · December 2013

It's still working for me. Anyone else having a problem?

Zilla360 · December 2013

It works fine in this thread, but temperamentally in others.
It seems like the script associated with it sometimes fails to load (or perhaps initialized) in larger threads, and even hard refreshing doesn't fix it.

Yeah, on larger threads, none of this is passing through the ECMAscript interpreter:

BindShortcuts: function(TextArea) {
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'bold', 'ctrl+B');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'italic', 'ctrl+I');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'underline', 'ctrl+U');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'strike', 'ctrl+S');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'url', 'ctrl+L');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'code', 'ctrl+O');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'quote', 'ctrl+Q');
         ButtonBar.BindShortcut(TextArea, 'post', 'tab');
      },

as no events are triggered by these key combos.

IcyLiquid · December 2013

Link to such a thread?

Zilla360 · December 2013

Managed to find some reproducible examples after random testing on more than one machine/browser:

buttonbarplus.js loads and executes properly in this thread:

But not in this (and many other large threads):

bowen · December 2013

Works fine for me, though Icy may have fixed it in the past half hour.

Heatwave · December 2013

My formatting bar still looks like this for all threads
