Weird Edit Screen

I've seen this happen on my home PC a couple times the last few days.  I'm not sure if I also saw it on my work PC.

 

I go back to edit a message, and the screen that loads has lots of items misplaced.  As if the HTML code is corrupted.  See attached.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

PS.  Windows Vista Home Premium with IE 7.

Dear Fan,

 

Your image got screwed up.

 

BTW am also facing some problems in the Edit screen for few days. Emotions(smileys) got misplaced all the time. If we insert an emotion anywhere from the compose box, it automatically goes to the beginning of the line. Anyone experienced this?

I have seen both of the above described issues.

 

The apparent Corrution as shown by Ravens fan was corected after a refresh.

 

The srewed up editor screen is a major bother since it seems to happen if I don't stop and wait for the editor to finish it coffee before it decides to respond. The emoticon issue can be avoided if I take break after punching the emoticon button so it has time to populate the emoticon selection screen.

Are you talking about the disjointed seam on the right hand side?  I noticed that after I posted it, however I didn't see it when I originally saw the problem on screen.  The basic issue was that some of the buttons and links were scrambled around the wrong parts of the screen.

Yes.  Do a refresh on the webpage did cause it to reload correctly.  I had never seen these pages get scrambled but otherwise render without an IE error before until the last few days.  Almost like some key part of HTML code that established the layout was dropped.

 

The screwed up editor screen is a major bother since it seems to happen if I don't stop and wait for the editor to finish it coffee before it decides to respond. The emoticon issue can be avoided if I take break after punching the emoticon button so it has time to populate the emoticon selection screen.  Yes, the emoticons are ridiculously slow still, and you definitely have to wait until they fully load, which means a second or two after it appears like the last icon loaded.  It's like the screen does an extra little jump from the last icon to when it is truly loaded and ready to take your click.

 

The overall behavior of the editor screen is still not as good as it used to be before the last forum upgrade.  I sometimes notice that if I click a reply, and the screen starts loading, I will click inside the edit box, then the screen miraculously disappears and goes back to the original message thread screen.

I have seen it too.

 

The new edit stinks. Sometimes I don't even want to bother replying since I have lost many posts.

 

If I want to post something of value now, I type it in Wordpad first, then copy/paste into the editor.

Although I have composed a reply in Notepad I usually only do that after a long reply before hitting the "Submit Post" button. You know code is buggy if you backup an update before attempting apply it.

 

So please lean on Lithium to fix the editor!

Using IE 6 at work and IE 7 at home with the same problems both places.

Thanks for all of the feedback, I will pass it along to Lithium.

 

Does anyone see this sort of behavior with Firefox?  I primarily use Firefox and don't have a problem, but I don't know if that is due to the browser or network related.

 

Thanks,

Laura

I suggest you propose a road trip to your boss to do some research. Tell them you are going to stay home and test out posting to the forum from outside NI durring the parts of the day when the taffic is heaviest. Yes you should get paid for doing this work at home.

 

I suspect you may get a chance to experience our pain*.

Well I had this weird screen happen again tonight.  So I did a view source and saved it.  Then I refreshed the screen, it looked okay.  I viewed source and saved that.

 

Then I compared the two HTML files and found they were identical.  So the error must not have anything to do with the website or the data coming from, but must just be some rendering error cause by IE 7.

Hi Ravens,

 

I reported this a long long time ago.  Even before the latest changes to the forum.  I was told that it must be my PC or browser..  😞

It still happens...  More often lately, but I didn't bother reporting it.. 

 

Glad to read that I am not the only one seeing this.  It also occurs on the main NI web page, not just this forum.
