Tomcat76 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 (edited) Since today, I am unable to do a Quick Edit. To be precise, the post goes to "edit state" as expected when I click Edit > Quick Edit, and I can edit at will, but when I click the Complete Edit button the box saying "Loading. Please Wait..." won't go away and the post I was editing won't return to its normal view state.I tried it again twice just now (three and a half hours later) and it's still happening, even if I don't edit anything.Using Edit > Full Edit works as expected.I'm using Opera 9.01 build 8552 and its Error Console doesn't report any problems from MSFN that could be related to this.

Tomcat76 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 I did some more testing. I have several browsers (and several versions of each) installed and I tried it in two others:Opera 9.01 weekly build 8542Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.5a 20060708It happens there too.I'm using Opera as my main browser and I obviously used every version/weekly of it released in the past couple of months when visiting MSFN, so it might be a cache issue. But that theory breaks because quick editing a post fails using SeaMonkey 1.5a too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 What about IE and Firefox?And yes, I'm aware of what the SeaMonkey is (I added this line using QuickEdit by the way) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I sometimes have the problem too.I think it was always because of a connection drop.Maybe "quick edit" should first check if it still connected to the internet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I had the problem the other day, and I just thought it was my computer (not the fastest, hopefully will still run Vista). I was using Firefox at the time.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I've been testing some more and I think I narrowed it down to two possibilities.I can quick edit my posts in the current thread.I can quick edit the main post of this thread.But I can't quick edit the main posts of these two: 1 / 2What distinguishes the last two from the first two is that they are quite long and that they are sticky posts.

Tomcat76 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Found it.Quick edit can no longer work with bullet signs: •This post can't be quick-edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 This is similar to the Euro bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yeah, I realize that now.The reason I only noticed this the other day is because I haven't edited those two specific posts which contain bullets for nearly a month.What's strange is that Martin L writes:IPSBeyond has something with custom BB code which can make this work ok i think.... i will try this when i am back home That suggests that the problem has always been there but that isn't the case -- at least not with the bullets. I've been using them since December last year and have almost always used the Quick Edit feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 This forum (IPB), including Quick Edit, gets upgraded frequently. It is quite possible that a recent upgrade caused this particular problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I don't use the bullet sign and I can't use quick edit. It happens in my hotfix threads in the HFSLIP subforum.the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 @the_guyIn your case it's because you're using an endash instead of a hyphen once in a while. Are you using Word or similar program that automatically converts hyphens to endashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_guy Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Yes, I use word. Thanks Tomcat!the_guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Is this a problem with just a few characters, or is it all of these €and possibly these Edited August 14, 2006 by Yzöwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
