Copy and pasting images into the editor has never worked, but this start crap is very annoying.

It definitely used to work.

I don't know about anybody else but blurry images are back again. I reset my modem, router, and had my ISP reset from their end...only an issue on this damn website.

I also agree infinite scroll is terrible, this isn't Tumblr!

User control panel -> edit options -> lazy loading

You can also disable infinite scrolling there.

Thanks, I had already disabled infinite scrolling within minutes of experiencing it. I hadn't noticed the lazy loading option...drives me crazy seeing blurred images as I scroll.

For those reading this at a later date, I'll add: User control panel -> edit options -> lazy loading -> save changes

It is difficult to make new posts because posting pics deletes text and, as a moderator, I'm regularly cleaning up posts of others in the wrong threads due to infinite scrolling.

Traffic on the site seems to be down. Please switch it back.

Hey guys i just wanted to know if any of you were aware of a Miata-specific forum that didn't have all these things that seem to be geared specifically towards making a forum as hard to use as possible?

I found ClubRoadster, owned by AutoGuide, i may give them a shot. They seem to have a good handle on how to make a forum functional.

Traffic is up in threads like this one!

You mean functional as in the way Miata Turbo was even a few short months ago? That must be refreshing. I bet traffic has really increased at that functional Miata site lately (I don't have an account there to view the traffic numbers).

There seems to be a bit of irony in the fact that internet brands was trying to bolster the page views to sell this forum or sell advertising on it and ended up fucking The Forum so badly that attendance dropped. AND it probably cost $3.50 for the three hours spent by the programmers in Bangalore, lol.

Thank you! That image loading crap was driving me nuts.

@Robb M. , please make it so that what I see in the message composition window matches what happens after I post. (Note indent and line-feed on bullet-list items)

EDIT: also please make it so that if happen to click somewhere in the message composition window after clicking "upload" from the image uploader, before it's finished uploading the image, it doesn't blow away all of the text I've previously typed. This is a relatively new (past 1-2 months) problem.

Is MazdaRoadster still solid? I never really got in with the club roadster crowd, although there is some great tips over there, like using plastic weld and acrylic tube to replace broken plastic screw standoffs, or a DIY on a KG Works style cluster for 1/10 the price. IIRC the guide for drilling my control arms for zerks was over there too.

That is annoying, it is probably related to our attempts to fix the indent issue. We've had a couple of things steal the priority points recently, but fixing the editor once and for all is in the works.

I thought that we had fixed the uploading images displacing text this week. Are you certain?
I can't seem to make this happen. How are you clicking in the message editor before the image uploads?

everything is double pasting into the editor now...

just copy and pasted my post into the text box and that's what i got.

Ok, the image-upload bug does seem to be fixed.


I'm not having double-pasting problems.

double pasting issue seems to be gone now.... weird. double pasting issue seems to be gone now.... weird.

So.

If I type "<$" into the in-thread WYSIWIG editor, it deletes everything after that pair of characters.

If I type it in the post box at the bottom, no problem.

If I go to the advanced WYSIWYG editor, no problem.

If I type a novella of advice to a member here in the in-thread WYSIWIG editor, including a suggestion that he order a part which is "<$150 from XXX vendor", it deletes my entire post, infuriates me, makes me come and find this thread, tag you, and generally be less inclined to continue to participate in discussions on this forum.

More abject fuckery from your baristadevs.

@Robb M.

"<$"

might be some shortcode that confuses the system.

• Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

^This is all indented in the editor window.

indent is broken, the less than a dollar is a new one though <$

<$ indent is broken, the less than a dollar is a new one though.

@Robb M. , edit your text and try it. it's the inline editor that does it.

It won't let me save the post?
https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f955192073.png

yeah because it's deleting everything after the $, put text before it and try again @Robb M.

i think the editor is reading the penis as flaccid. @Robb M.

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...f63b1989ee.png

I agree that the editor is taking it as some code string. I can't 'lose' my text though, it just won't submit the post, my text is all still in the editor. Is your experience different?

it deletes everything after the <$ opening tag. so if there's nothing before it, the post will technically be empty...

for me, it doesn't submit the post, all my text is still in the editor. I can't seem to actually have the text 'deleted', I'm not able to submit a post with that string at the beginning of it.

^ Well, that's a new and interesting failure mode. Here's what was written:


Edit, seriously, noparse is broken again?

Ok, here's a picture of what was written:

https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...4e68497291.png

I feel like you're not reading my posts...

^ Posted that one from the "normal" composer (not quick-reply), and it failed in the same way, even with the < $ at the beginning.

(Edit: the one above failbot's post where he insult's Robb.)

steps to recreate:

1. Copy this text: My name is Robb <$ and I break MT.net
2. paste text into new post.
3. edit post and click save without changes.

e: cool

Site going slow as shit for anyone else?

Its good on my computer but on my phone its snail powered

double pasting was back this morning. maybe gone now?

It was the opposite for me.

Seems to be okay now.

I'm sure it's just IB bogging it with some healthy updates.

Uh, it says the most users ever on the site were 497, as of, like ten minutes ago. *sneezebullshitsneeze*

Threads aren't getting marked "read" after being in them. Just me?

Why am i having issues today? Where's JoeP to sniff this stuff out so i don't have to.

Holy shit. Now it's not even making my posts.

This site is BORKED

clear your cookies?

Having same issues. Logged out and back in. Cleared cookies. I know there are posts happening because i'm getting texts about them, but i can't view them. The newest post i can view on this site in search results was made at 6:42pm. Searching "new posts" gives me the same results (even down to the search number) every time, before and after log out/in.

Good job. Super broke.

I'm going to go hang out on another forum now.
