Re: Site Bugs

Sol,  I never had problems posting before but now I find I'm unable to copy and paste my chapters  on the new site. Help!

Hi Sol!

I don't seem to be able to send messages to my contacts.  When I click "send a message" I get a blue message window, but there is no place to write the message. If I click "send message" the window closes & nothing seems to happen.

I LOVE the in-line review feature, by the way. That is working for me without a hitch & makes the review process go much faster. Overall the new site has been a lot of fun.

I'm having the same problem with messages. Tried on all my devices

Okay, we have added it to the bug list.

Re: Site Bugs

Hi Sol

I'm not the only one with this problem - we don't get all of the advertised points when we do reviews ...

Cheers

Re: Site Bugs

I've just emailed you images for the angle-bracket bug, the summary-behind-image problem, and a cursor oddity that occurs using IE.  Using Chrome, the cursor flips between arrow, text bar, and finger very quickly as you move it through the region in question.

Please let me know if the email doesn't show up, or if you need more info.  I suspect that the two HTML-related problems may originate in the same area, but that's a guess from the outside.

Got it. Thanks. This type of detail is very helpful in resolving issues.

Re: Site Bugs

Sol, this is what I'm seeing on the site homepage most of the time when I log in:

Re: Site Bugs

It looks like the logout issue is fixed.  Thanks, Sol, to you and the team!

That's not good. Will send it to developers.

Re: Site Bugs

Hi Sol,

I haven't seen a response on a couple of bugs I've reported previously. So, I'm following up. They still are occurring.

1. When I've writing a review or answering one, hitting <return> takes me to the top of the text box. I can only go to the next line by clicking on the start of it. I don't have that problem in the Forum text boxes. I'm running Safari 7.1 on a Max (OS 10.9.5).

2. I'm still getting lower review credits than is stated on the chapters, even if I have one of the first 3 reviewers. I think njc has it right, the 25% credit isn't being added - or the amount stated on the chapter is wrong.

Cheers,
Don

Hi Don,

We're actively working on #2 and should have it fixed in the next day. I will also check on #1. I know it was also entered as a bug.

Re: Site Bugs

Hello, SolN.
I did see the review you dropped in, and I have gotten both regular reviews and in-line reviews since. I have not seen any new review replies. But I still see the notification I have 2 new replies on my home page. I can leave reviews, and see reviews on my work (and reply to them), but I do have the issue of reading replies to my reviews still. If you can find out which two replies the notification/link on my home page are referencing, that would help. If I look at them, hopefully the notification will go away.

Re: Site Bugs

Sol, do you mind if  I send you two more screen caps with display anomolies?

Re: Site Bugs

Hi Sol. Sorry to add to the list -

I'm not sure if someone is tinkering behind the scenes, but I opened a Shred Thread Group and don't seem to have moderator functionality anymore within the forums? I can edit the group information but cannot split/delete/close posts like before. My forum name says member now rather than moderator.

I gave it a few hours to see if it was just a glitch. I had the full functionality this afternoon.

Here's the group:  http://www.thenextbigwriter.com/group-l … -thread-34

Re: Site Bugs

(I thought you might be tinkering because I remember you said you might remove the moderator id within forums. But the rest doesn't make sense.) smile

Re: Site Bugs

When I copy-paste story text, text decorations--specifically italics--don't make it through.  This happens whether I paste directly or or use the "from Windows" form.  It doesn't matter whether the italicized section at the beginning or end of the line or in the middle.  I'm copying from Open Office Writer.

BBcode italicization isn't working for me in the forums, either. This should be italicized.

Okay, I've just looked into the page with the DOM Explorer.  The section marked for italics has <em> ... </em> set.  Evidently, somewhere <em> is not defined to produce italics.

Okay, the computed-styles display suggests that enhanced-mode and italicization have been cancelled by something.  I have another screencap.  I'll be sending a bunch soon.

Re: Site Bugs

This is a test of the bbc system.

It seems to work with some code but all. I tried italicizing a portion of the sentence. We'll get it fixed.

Re: Site Bugs

Sol,

I REALLY like the enhanced shortcuts to reviews, etc that appears on the home page.  It is now MUCH easier to reference a series of inline or regular reviews without concern of losing track of them.  I also love that the messages are quick-linked instead of just quickies.  Nice!

It seems to be working again now. It wasn't working until a few moments ago, so if somebody is tinkering, it's currently fixed.

Re: Site Bugs

I'm getting a few inline reviews that have nothing on them. I got one from KHippolite and one from Janet Taylor-Perry. I don't know if they were accidentally submitted or if they were real reviews and the review part got deleted.

There was a bug. It's fixed now.

It's possible the reviewer started, then deleted what they had started. If it's blank, just delete it. Let me know if it keeps happening though.
