RE: OK help out ol' pops, again
Quote: ladyconsumer Garret, I'm curous, since you've not had any problem. When you say you've used both bold and italics, did you attempt to use them on multiple sequential lines? Because the editor appears to not handle that situation properly.
Even if you only attempt to highlight a single line, it's a bit difficult to avoid grabbing that end-of-line marker (the extra space).
Phrases inside of a single line shoule work flawlessly, though.
Just curious what you've been bolding/italicing (is that a word?).
As far as seeing someone else's error - there's no easy way to do it. But I'll repeat my offer. If anyone wants to send me their html code, I'll be happy to look at it.

I'm not sure that I understand completely what you're talking about, but you can see for yourself based on the review I posted yesterday. (Not a cheap plug for hits, I have enough.) |

Looks like you only bolded phrases inside a line. There doesn't seem to be a problem doing that. It's when you try to grab multiple lines and bold them that it becomes a problem. (Or when you try to grab the end of a line, and you accidentally grab the end-of-line marker).

Also is explained and visually demonstrated in my earlier post in this thread. Found here.
Italics or bolding within a single line are no problem, like these here.
But when you try to format several lines with one use of the 'italics' button . . .yer screwed...

In reference to links, I was able to post my usual, related to subject, links at the end of my reviews. You should not have a problem with them.

Hey Barbara, Sorry if I got you and others upset through expressing my own frustration. It's not fun stuff right now but we will get through all this soon enough.

Epinions SOP
It is SO typical of Epinions SOP that with no warning and clearly inadequate testing a major change is made -- near the end of the month when many are trying to reach whatever multiple of ten reviews.
I have not recovered from the frustration of diacritics being turned to garbage in hundreds of reviews one not-so-fine day.
With the new and wholly undocumented editor, I have not figured out how to link reviews without the whole text being mashed into one paragraph.
Is there no one in Brisbane who had what should be the obvious thought to put a document of how to to boldface, how to do italics, how to do links at the Member Center. No? Let those darned writers sink or flounder!
And considering that the major problem of epinions is a search engine that does not reveal postings (or contents) and what seems to me the problem of not counting outside hits, how did these changes become a priority high enough to get acted on? |

That was what I wanted to know in my post the other day. So many more important issues on the site and no warning about this one, which seems so superfluous and unnecessary. |

I just posted something 3 minutes ago and saw the crazy editor. It screwed up the way it creates paragraphs. |

My last three maybe four reviews went through without the new editor. Hm maybe I hit a dead in the middle of the night zone and the new editor wasn't working. ;) |

I saw your post last night and I went and clicked on something in my wish list just to see and the new annoying editor thing came up.
I don't like it at all. It's making posting more complicated for me. There was nothing wrong with the way we were posting before. I still think there are more pressing issues that should have been focused on instead of this. The database and search that has been messed up for ages now is what deserves the attention.
