AnswerBank Bug Reporting

[AB Editor]

Morning All.

Thanks to everyone who posted bug reports on this page:
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Editors-Blog/Question1194930.html

Problems we're going to fix today:

1. Linebreak/New lines/Returns not carrying from text entry field to printed Question/Answer
2. Arbitrary line breaks in answers
Both of these issues can be seen here: www.theanswerbank.co.uk/AB-Editors-Blog/Question1195097.html
3. Badges seem to be missing in action. This is likely to be a case of the badges existing in code, but not in the front end.
Thanks for your patience - please me know if you spot any other issue below by:
1. Describing your issue 2. Let us know what browser you're using 3. give us a link to where you've spotted the issue.

All the best,
Ed

We think we know what the problem is. It is just a case of fixing it now. Italics etc should be sorted along with the other stuff :)

Ah, all hail to the techies

[AB Editor]

Very kind Nibble, but once they're done fixing things we're going to have to think of a way to deter them from doing this again...

there's the italics, but they weren't working yesterday either

for an example of non-functioning italics yesterday see my post at 16:58 http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/News/Question1194916-2.html So not necessarily a problem caused by the upgrade.

hm, I included the quote about the hour in which ABers' addresses were visible at the start of my last post, in the angled brackets as neither italics nor quote marks are working. I guess the system saw it as some sort of HTML instruction and removed them. Don't know if that used to happen or not.

[AB Editor]

Thanks again. Interesting that italics wasn't working yesterday - I wonder if we did some prep which broke it?

I've just typed an apostrophe and it worked! Getting there.

Let's see what this does: Cozy Powell's ";Dance With The Devil"; Cozy Powell's ";Dance With The Devil";

quote[I've just typed an apostrophe and it worked!] With an italic too!

[MarkRae]

Double quotes being rendered incorrectly and line breaks being removed...

[MarkRae]

Oh dear! Look at the word removed above!

[AB Editor]

We're about to revert to the previous version. We'll fix on dev and then have a another run at it.
