Why didn´t allow the Phorum linebreaks???

Hello XDA-developers....
Noticed today, that when you´re posting without HTML-Code all the text is shown in one line....
I´m sure this wasn´t so all the time and i don´t want to turn on the HTML-code.
it´s ugly enough receiving HTML-Emails, so I´d like it more without HTML-Code in the postings.
Also it´s very ugly to read the postings, when much text is in it....
Maybe you can have a look at it...
Regards
Stefan

you are right, that should not happen.
this is something that has recently had some code changes.
....
( jus ttesting )

hmm.
probably something to do with our new usergroup HTML.
I'll ask pp tomorrow.

Noticed today, that the preview shows all correct.
Only when you submit the post, this strange thing appears...
HTH
Stefan

Whoops... I'll fix it.
Stay tuned...

I think all should be well now: old messages that were posted when stuff was broken now have line-breaks fixed, and new messages shoud work OK.
Apologies for the mess...

Forums not refreshing properly

I notice that the forums don't load after I post... and that it doesn't update my thread views like normal... for instance it tells me a thread is new even though I have already seen it.
Anything change in the past couple weeks?

I get this sometimes. To Fix it:
Log out and clear all your cookies (even though log out tell's you they are all cleared). If you using Firefox 3, click the Icon to the left of the address bar, the click More Information, Security Tab, View Cookies, and remove any remaining.
Somethings have changed, but this problem occured before and after the changes for me.

I noticed I am not being sent to redirection pages... I think this is part of the issue... I will PM Flar

I sometimes get this. Often hitting refresh seems to fix the problem.

I'm getting the message on my Treo, something along the lines: 'a script causing device slow may become unresponsive'

Testing to see if I still get the white screen
Yep still getting them

ahhhh, I was already PM'ing with neoobs whilst dave was nice enough to relay all of this in the mod forum , if no-one objects in the next 24hrs, can I close the thread?
Thanks for all your help guys

Hrm, big bump in the road:
the thing causing the quick reply function not to work properly is a google ad. I removed it because I thought that it was an old, incorrectly working ad on the wrong location. But it turns out it's our ad hack that supplies us with 2/3's of our monthly income.
Now let me get this very straight: we are not in this to get rich, the current ad income is enough to keep xda-dev running but losing 2/3 to gain a correctly working quick reply function, will get us into serious money problems very soon.
So the only thing I can do at the moment is break the quick reply function and enable the ads, whilst searching feverishly for a better solution.
I'm well aware of vbulletin.org so I will be searching my ass of there, and try every possible solution they have, but untill the time comes where I've found a working ad solution, I hope you can all avoid the quick reply function.
I'm very sorry to have to make decision, but I hope you can all see that this the lesser of 2 problems.
Best regards,
Flar

we understand you Flar, though im lazy to press the "post reply" button..but i can handle it

Ditto to that LOL or for me I just forget that there is a problem and post and then hope that it really goes through and my long rant wasn't lost forever LOL

@ not working on keyboard

I know there is a US keyboard fix for this phone and for the Windows Mobile 6.1 platform. I have tried that fix quite a few times and I STILL can't use my @ symbol. It's doing some weird ASCII symbol instead. Every other key works just fine just not my @ key. I'm getting aggravated as hell when I can't even set up my freaking internet connection because I need the @ to do it!!

go to the "UPGRADE to 6.1 with PICS & LINKS to... Updated links 11/21" thread and download and install the et9 cab to fix the keyboard for T-Mobile Dash

It's not TMobile it's AT&T and I already installed the RUU_Excalibur_WM61_Kavana_080314_WWE.exe file. The only key I'm having issues with even before the fix is the @ key. Everything else worked before I even installed the fix.

lol How are you going to call me a noob when obvious you can't read a post? I plainly stated that I already installed Windows Mobile 6.1 and the US keyboard fix that you mentioned already. I'm far from a noob. This is the only problem I have ran into that I couldn't fix on my own but I can see I have completely wasted my time here when a senior member of a forums can't even read a thread. You might want to take a look in the mirror and you might actually see the noob you are talking about.

first off, he said "noob guide", he didnt call you a newbie. I have gone there for files before and I am far from a newbie as well.
Second off, if the keymap isnt working, why not just edit your own keymap. At least look at it and see whats going on. If the values are correct, it may be a hardware issue.

Where are my old posts?

Hi there,
I must have missed something, did not visit this forum for a few years now. I have an account back from 2006, but it looks like I got 0 posts, no thanks, no helps etc etc?
Did it all get resetted? If yes why?

Hi
Well your account certainly goes back to 2006, but there is no record of older posts. We record ones that are deleted too, but there are none.
There is no automatic clearing of old posts.
Is it possible you might have had another username?

That account email has "den" in it, it has a dot and it's a gmail address.
If you get in, send me a PM and I can delete this account.

Unable To Use Advanced Edit - PROBLEM SOLVED!!

Hiya everybody,
Im having difficulty using the advanced edit option. I want to edit the title of one of my threads but when I click on the button I get a 502 Bad Gateway error.
I tried using XDA Labs but that failed as well.
Anybody else experiencing this?
---edit---
This has now been resolved. If anybody's reading this with a similar issue, read the next few posts.

Is it doing this on different PC browsers. Sounds like a browser issue BUT it might be something about the thread.
Can you link to the thread in question and just as a matter of interest does it do it on other threads of yours.... like this one?

It happens on Safari as well (sorry to swear like that..ahem..) however it looks like I've just been able to change this threads title so it could just be the individual thread after all.

A couple of years ago, or so.
I had a thread that I couldn't edit the title, so I just used the report post button, and asked that a Mod edit the title for me.
After the Mod edited the title, I was able to edit it myself again, don't remember if some reason why was found or not.

Ok, bit of a disaster here.
I tried to edit the title by adding a period "." at the end of the title.
That worked, however after saving it removed the graphics!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or at least the graphic links you see in the text editor are still there but all screwed up.
You may be able to add them back but it's going to be a pain... sorry.
I have seen this exact same corruption before and I've spoken to bitpushr about it a few times but he could never replicate the problem.
Quite a few people have this happen to them, my feeling is that it happens when the OP uses unusual fonts or characters and it may be too that copying in content to the post from other sources like MS Word etc., causes stray code to get in and corrupt the post. I strongly suspect that's why it was giving you the Gateway error to begin with.
It might be worth re creating the first post without using any copied in text or at least just plain text and formatting within the post... then deleting the existing post one.
This would need to be done very carefully as any accidental deletion of post #1 will delete the thread.
Another method might be to create a new thread, get post one just right and working, then we copy across all the posts from 2 onward to the new thread and delete the old thread.

Thank you for that, I'm trying the advanced edit now...and it seems to work. No gateway error!
Losing the image links isn't a problem - I have the whole thread saved as a TXT file anyway. I normally write the longer posts in Notepad++, I just find it easier. I used to access this site through IE at work and I noticed that the advanced edit messed up the image links there as well. But not if I used Chrome.
I guess I must have put an unusual code in there at some point over the years..hmm.. Oh well, a good excuse for a refresh!
I'll keep an eye on this and, if I have problems in the future, I'll bear your advice in mind. :highfive:
----update----
502 gateway error again when I try to update the post with new text and a new title. I'll try just updating the title for now. Maybe I need to rewrite the post that much sooner!
Wait...wait...nope, now it's working. Post updated finally! Thanks so much for all your help!

Agh! good some progress at least.
So the idea of getting a Mod to slightly edit the title works then. Except:silly:, don't get me to do it as all the graphics go wrong (I use the WYSIWYG editor too.

The saga continues...
I thought I had this but it looks like I was wrong. Advanced edit works now. I did some trial and error and worked out that error was being caused by one of the mentions I had in there. It looks like I had too many and that's what was causing the gateway error.
But I still can't change the title. I put in a new title and, although I don't get any errors, the title doesn't actually change. It's still the way it was when you changed it.
While I'm trying to get this sorted out, could I please ask a favour? Could you possibly change the title to "[TOOL]Tickle My Android - Decompile & Deodex With Ease"? I normally have the version number in there but I'm beginning to suspect I may have to have a static title rather than one I keep changing...
