Forum Update - April 2, 2009

Minor update, but important

Thursday, April 2, 2009 by GunslingerBara | Discussion: Forum Issues

The forums have been updated again today with a minor change.  If a user edits his/her post, there will now be a "View Edits" button.  Clicking this button will show a history of that reply/post, along with highlights (red = removed text, green = added text).

If you do not see the button or clicking the button does nothing, please do a "hard refresh" by holding Ctrl and pressing F5.  This will clear your cache and force a download of the new image and javascript file.

Hopefully this will reduce the amount of griefers who go back and edit all of their posts.

I've noticed the term "trolls" on here. This isn't something I've seen on any of the other forums I hang out at. What is it? (And more importantly, are I one?)

     BTW, why do my smilies pop up at the front of my posts instead of at the end where my cursor is? I have to C/C/P them to the end!

FYI the "view edits" does not work with firefox. Nor does the firefox spell checker for some reason.
Make sure you are looking at a post that has been edited.  And do a forced refresh [ctrl][F5].

The FF spell check doesn't work.  Never has.  Something to do with the control we use.  It's being evaluated for future builds.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion

Thank you!  [ctrl][F5] fixed it right up. Forced refresh. I'll file that away in my tool box.

I wouldn't say "never".  It stopped working around one of the forum updates...too long ago to remember which one.  It was a pretty big forum change though...

I think it stems somewhat from the fact that the control is some form of WYSYWIG editor made possible by some sort of JavaScript stuff. It's not really a normal HTML text control, and the text displayed in it is dynamic via the JavaScript, and I don't think Firefox's spell checker is equipped to check text generated on the fly via JavaScript.

Essentially, if you want to keep the WYSIWYG aspect, you'd have to find a control that includes spell checking, or modify the control to add some sort of spell checking support. I think there are some publically available JavaScript spell checkers.

Exactly, that's why the built-in spell checkers don't work.

Well, I hear there's no spell check that can handle Zubish anyways.
