Editor Keeps Saving Only Part Of Threads

Hi Larry

 

I've experienced this a few times, but it is monumentally more upsetting when you have a large post. But I'll write a big post have several blocks of code and it will just chop most of the message away. If I had to guess I'd say it tends to be when there is a use of [ code ] blocks. But I can't be sure. Obviously this isn't your fault, but I thought I'd let you know.

 

Thanks

 

Jonathon

I just experienced that myself for the first time yesterday in the following post:

And like you said, Jonathon, my post got cut off right after a code block.

I've had similar problems in the past too with losing parts of posts, so I've gotten into the habit of always copying and pasting my entire post into a text file before I hit the post button, in the event that something like that happens.

 

Also, I like to copy the whole post to a text file because it's easier to edit/spell-check and format code.

I've also experienced similar scenarios. If I recall properly its when I'm posting a long response with several blocks of code.

I sadly forgot to copy it before posting last night which annoyed me as it wasn't the first time.

Been there, done that. Sorry, man.

Sorry about that one and all. I have to do a minor upgrade of the forums, maybe that will fix the problem.

[Jonathon 255]

Not your fault!

True, and I appreciate you saying that.
