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

Anyone feeling any different? Clipped ends?

A bit of long text:

Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.

Kidneys were in his mind as he moved about the kitchen softly, righting her breakfast things on the humpy tray. Gelid light and air were in the kitchen but out of doors gentle summer morning everywhere. Made him feel a bit peckish.

The coals were reddening.

Another slice of bread and butter: three, four: right. She didn't like her plate full. Right. He turned from the tray, lifted the kettle off the hob and set it sideways on the fire. It sat there, dull and squat, its spout stuck out. Cup of tea soon. Good. Mouth dry. The cat walked stiffly round a leg of the table with tail on high.

—Mkgnao!

—O, there you are, Mr Bloom said, turning from the fire.

The cat mewed in answer and stalked again stiffly round a leg of the table, mewing. Just how she stalks over my writingtable. Prr. Scratch my head. Prr.

Mr Bloom watched curiously, kindly the lithe black form. Clean to see: the gloss of her sleek hide, the white button under the butt of her tail, the green flashing eyes. He bent down to her, his hands on his knees.

—Milk for the pussens, he said.

—Mrkgnao! the cat cried.

They call them stupid. They understand what we say better than we understand them. She understands all she wants to. Vindictive too. Cruel. Her nature. Curious mice never squeal. Seem to like it. Wonder what I look like to her. Height of a tower? No, she can jump me.

—Afraid of the chickens she is, he said mockingly. Afraid of the chookchooks. I never saw such a stupid pussens as the pussens.

Cruel. Her nature. Curious mice never squeal. Seem to like it.

—Mrkrgnao! the cat said loudly.

She blinked up out of her avid shameclosing eyes, mewing plaintively and long, showing him her milkwhite teeth. He watched the dark eyeslits narrowing with greed till her eyes were green stones. Then he went to the dresser, took the jug Hanlon's milkman had just filled for him, poured warmbubbled milk on a saucer and set it slowly on the floor.

—Gurrhr! she cried, running to lap.

He watched the bristles shining wirily in the weak light as she tipped three times and licked lightly. Wonder is it true if you clip them they can't mouse after. Why? They shine in the dark, perhaps, the tips. Or kind of feelers in the dark, perhaps.

He listened to her licking lap. Ham and eggs, no. No good eggs with this drouth. Want pure fresh water. Thursday: not a good day either for a mutton kidney at Buckley's. Fried with butter, a shake of pepper. Better a pork kidney at Dlugacz's. While the kettle is boiling. She lapped slower, then licking the saucer clean. Why are their tongues so rough? To lap better, all porous holes. Nothing she can eat? He glanced round him. No.

You lost me at kidneys :-D

I'm preparing dinner ED!!!

The youtube videos should now play more nicely with your screens.

Anyone got a long link spare?
No jno...My hair is more of a tonsure.

Anyway, that apart, the Ed's first You Tube link has given me a message "This Video is currently unavailable"....... I blame that on YT not AB.

However, in view of the fact that I am in line for another badge (Head Badger) and bearing in mind the reason for such an award and the fact that some of us ABers do occasionally drop our aitches, I think the award should be re-classified as ED BADGER. :-)

Just want to add that weird thing with refreshing the 'latest posts' button makes the time of top post go back to 0 minutes for me. I remember that being a problem a year or so ago.
Ed. not so much a bug, but lots of people yesterday commented they'd been awarded badges with no entitlement - e.g. I've got a 5 year badge but I've only been here 4 years....
LOl - Ed boxy thinks she deserves the other 14 :-)
LOL, I couldn't possibly comment :-)
italics thingy working from phone but not laptop, using chrome

^^belay that, fumbel fnigres here
I've just found out, that when copying out a previous response, putting the forwards and backwards arrows to show the 'snip', seems to remove large chunks of the message.

I go that yesterday, JTH....


I included some text inside a greater than and a less than symbol >< and it was removed when I posted it.
Ahhhhh........that would be the technical term for the thingamajigs......:o)
It happened to me yesterday and I didn't use .
That's a lie. I did....I said something like..

:-)
It did it again. After the smiley I put 4 < and all the text after that didn't appear.
obviously I must have placed the random missing "t" from my post inside some greater than and less than symbols too :)
