formatting issues :Update: problem solved

Question

Does anybody have any formatting issues?

I was trying to format on the PM function.

I can actually see the same problem here, on asking a question.

All formatting possibilities are gone.

I have tried Chrome, and Firefox.

Even editing, formatting, or adding picture, or anything in that line are gone.

I sent a mail directly to Stephanie from the SD team, I would like to thank the team, on behalf of all of us, that this problem was solved so fast.

Does anybody has any formatting issues? This is still wrong - it should be "have any" because anybody is singular. :) - ian-hill, Aug 23, 2017

Answer 2

Even on Safari all the little boxes with the formatting helps are gone. This happen quite often around here. I will try to give feedback. If that's not working--"¡pos ni modo!" (That's very Mexican I don't know if you guys in Spain have ever heard that one).

I notice that you were one of the original moderators. You really know more about this than I do,

I was...but things are different now...we had a lot more functions then...::.sigh::: - 006595c6, Aug 22, 2017

This is a new one only happened to me today. - ray76, Aug 23, 2017

Answer 3

The core site engine seems to be damaged.
I have noticed while attempting to use the mobile browser that a number of rogue links attempt to highjack the pages. On my PC, I get frequent "malware blocked" warnings from my malware protection software.

I think some maintenance is urgently needed. I attempted to send this via feedback, but I'm not sure if it actually went through.

Try using their e-mail address. It always works. [e-mail] - rac1, Aug 23, 2017

Steph responded, as we can see here. Rather quickly and efficiently, I must add. - Gekkosan, Aug 23, 2017

Yes, that email always goes to her. :) - rac1, Aug 23, 2017

Answer 4

Hi All,

Thank you for bringing this to the SD team's attention. The engineering team has been working on some changes to the site behind the scenes, and something might have broken in the process. Our team will work on a solution to these formatting problems as soon as possible.

Thank you, Stephanie SD Team

Thank you, Stephanie. - rac1, Aug 23, 2017

Answer 7

Yes,

I have had to copy and paste the coding for putting in pictures from other posts of mine, to even get a picture. This is windows explorer and google chrome in window 10 at least. I know the codes for strike through and bold, also. But it is more work than just pressing the buttons.

I used to the codes that I put under Mardle's post to put in a picture of how to do a strikethrough. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2017

Thanks Jellonz put the codes for strike through on a thread I was on but mods closed it before I had taken it on board. - Mardle, Aug 22, 2017

I used the codes, I have no idea where I used to came from. I swear I can speak English. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2017

Answer 8

Ok, thanks, so it is not only on this side of the world, one never knows.

thanks, sending this link to feedback...

I wish guillermo were here, he might be able to help.

Answer 9

I went to post on one letter thread about an hour ago and noticed all the formatting had gone. I don't know the codes so I have put in the words and said I will get back to it.

I do know how to bold = ** either side of the text

It happened a while back but I dont know how it was resolved. It has happened to me with both firefox and chrome.

![][1], then 2 lines down [1]: http:/etc. for a picture I think, same without ! for a link. Put label in the first []. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 22, 2017

The SD engineers are working on things within the forum. It should be back soon. I hope. - rac1, Aug 22, 2017

OK on my laptop but I dont have square brackets on my tablet so you will have to wait for the pic of a clock on a bed of thyme. - Mardle, Aug 22, 2017

ah I could try copy and paste of what bosque has put!! - Mardle, Aug 22, 2017
