Bugs & Maintenance Requests (Page 1 of 4)

I purpose calling the crash the 'big blip' in which we re-emerge on the site the same age we were before the 'big blip.'

No diggity, Dagny. I wanna be ONLY 40 again, too. But, seriously... I kinda/sorta wanna read and review some of these new writers but the problem is... I can't be sure if my reviews are even getting thru. Let alone responded to. Because my Premium TNBW membership ain't what it used to be. I understand Sol might be overwhelmed at the moment, trying to fix this shit and that shinola, but at the same time I'm a bit underwhelmed by the performance of this website. A website I've been patronizing with my time and money for nearly twenty years now. Like any other transaction; caveat emptor is a factor, but... Well, maybe I trusted too much. After so many successful years of posting and positing with nary a complaint... I got complacent. I dunno. I'm still willing to give Sol the benefit of the doubt. For now.

Also.. You PURPOSE calling the the crash a big blip? Or... You PROPOSE calling the crash a big blip? Just wondering. See? I really do wanna REVIEW the hell outta somebody!

Cheers

John

It was a joke, to be laughed at as an example of a minor inhancememt. I stole it from Endgame and hoped someone would get it. So the jokes on me, not only did I get the wrong forum I used the wrong spelling of proposed. So, dear Dirk, consider me property humbled and apologetic. The next time I want to share a joke here, I will think better of it.

Thanks, Sol.

Interesting. It's a big of an edge case but it does warrant some type of message. We'll take a look. Thanks for passing it along.

Thanks, Sol.

Either I'm having a senior moment (quite possible) or the site used to have spellchecking in certain places but no longer does. Unfortunately, I can't remember which fields those were.

Has anyone else encountered this?

It seems to be missing from the text fields one uses to enter individual inline comments. I'm virtually certain it used to be there.
I think it also used to exist for the main text box of private messages.

I tested them earlier, before I reported the issue, and they didn't work for me. I keep having to look up words in my online dictionary to get the spelling right.

Dagny. Whether you welcome me or not, I've been rendered unable to read or review your work. Which doesn't seem correct. Unless you specifically went outta your way to make it that way. Website bugs or... Deliberate sentience? Asking for a friend.

Another item: Sol, have you had a chance to look at the functioning of spellchecking on various important TNBW text fields? I no longer recall which ones had/didn't have spellchecking, but there definitely was more of it before the crash. I especially find myself looking up plenty of words when posting to the forum.

EDIT: Found the problem. My browser (Chrome) is able to spellcheck words in at least some TNBW text fields (e.g., forum posts) but the feature was off. Not sure how that happened. But that seems to be the fix.

EDIT 2: Did a little more testing. Chrome's spellchecking seems to work on ALL major TNBW text fields except the closing comment to an inline review and the closing comment when responding to that review.

Thanks
Dirk

The site never had spell-check. I think it was all your browser. Nothing should have changed on the site pre and post crash to have changed the way the fields interact with the spell check. Maybe something changes on the browser side? I'll do a quick search and see if there is something we need to add.
