Mumbles Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I've heard of a few people experiencing problems inserting returns and linebreaks into their posts recently, specifically with Internet Explorer. I actually have the same problem when I use it. I typically use another browser, so it's not generally an issue. There is a quick fix. At the upper left hand corner of the reply box there is a little icon that looks like a light switch. If you hover your mouse over it, it will say "toggle editing mode". Clicking that will gray out all the icons, but allows for hitting enter to start a new line. As long as you don't care about all the fancy stuff up there, this will work fine. I'm playing around with it now. You might be able to write your message normally by hitting that button, and then be able to do some of the fancy stuff like embed links, videos, do stuff with the text, etc. by just turning that thing back on and doing it later. TheSidewinder and I are aware of this issue, but really don't have a solution yet. It's clearly something new with recent versions of either the forum software or browser software that just isn't being compatible yet.
dave321 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 thank you for that ! at least the line break works fine now any ideas why some youtube vids wont play, but just show a white screen? sorry to be a pain dave
Mumbles Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 No clue. Maybe if you point me in the direction of one that does this for you I may be able to help.
dan999ification Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 thanks mum it looks better now. :] Dan.
TheSidewinder Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I suspect this is an issue with latest version of IE versus the software version we're running. I'll be upgrading the forum this weekend, and we'll see that that does.
pyroman2498 Posted October 5, 2013 Posted October 5, 2013 thank you for that ! at least the line break works fine now any ideas why some youtube vids wont play, but just show a white screen? sorry to be a pain daveHey Dave ,Your problem with the videos being white probably are from not having windows plugins installed or not having shock wave player( i thinks that's what its called )installed/ updated. I experienced the same thing before i downloaded the plugin, Hope This Helps Stay Safe & Stay Green ~Steven

Bobosan Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Gallery is no longer randomized after the upgrade. Switch needs resetting?
TheSidewinder Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Ah yes, needed two file edits. Thanks for the heads up. Gallery images are now random on both main page and Gallery main page.

Hi Mumbles, I was searching around for a solution to my quote button not working, saw this post and tried it, works well enough my browser is IE version 11Matt
TheSidewinder Posted June 28, 2014 Posted June 28, 2014 I just applied a patch for some known IE issues. Empty your browser cache and try again, please, then post the results here either way.
