Updates:
1) Fixed the topics button this morning

2) Mark_aus - sorry mate .. Windows XP? .. too old .. time to upgrade, but some changes coming through today/tomoz which might fix it..

3) Item 1/2/3 .. oops .. removed.

4) Preview button? No longer necessary, as it looks like it does when you've posted it!?!

Also putting some work into the mobile presentation to make it render better there, especially the image viewer.

Quoting destroys the original post's paragraphing - very annoying and murders legibility.

laurie said.. Should be able to insert pics .. look for the "Add An image to my message" / "Show my uploaded messages"

I can, but suppose I wanted to embed an image without typing [ img ]... Oh and one realy big issue... Spel chekers dont wok no mor... and I cants spel. Chrome.


I have to agree with FlySurfer. I rely on Firefox doing most of my spell checking, and now it misses all the bad spelling. Can we somehow allow this?

What about an option to use the old editor, so that spell checks work?

I had problem posting using an iPad - it refused to recognkne keyboard input when I was trying to insert text in an existing paragraph - mainly at the start of a line.

There's also no button to add a link and while I now know you a can paste an image link into the add image field, there's no mention of that in the pop up.

i think you should take a look at some of the open source editors and consider using one of them instead.

I am mainly using my new phone. This whole system sucks. I type then it starts going off the screen and I cannot see what I'm typing. Go to watch a clip that's posted and it does not fill my screen just sits to the right of it. Was stoked when it finally said I could post pics, yet that must be only four stupid Apple. Will rant some more when can see everything I'm typing. What a **** up. oh a android app would be brilliant as well, don't just look after Nancy Apple users. Even trying to post this ha puss me. I'm using a Sony Xperiaz

Great to read the passion!

It's been totally reworked today, to enhance support for mobile, and also give you a choice of the plain editor, or the rich editor.

All issues mentioned so far have been addressed, as far as I'm aware, but due to the complexity of the web environment, there will probably still be issues for a few of you.

If you want to help get it right, sorry, you need to get scientific, and let me know : OS / Device, Browser & Version (i.e. PC/IE8)

It's been tested on Windows, in these browsers: IE 9,8, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iPhone 4, Samsung S3, iPad 4.

Now that's just 8 platforms, and does NOT include all those platforms on Mac, as well as earlier browser versions (at least 50), various HTC phones, Samsung S2 & earlier, iPhone 5/3/2 .. it's just not possible to have all these items on hand.

I'm in an iPhone 5 with iOS 6 I think, I'm now getting som funky split screen thing happening. Almost as if its running Windows with two screens partially over the top of ach other. I've closed the browser and opened it again and it's still doing it at random with the Seabreeze forums.

Yes, this is the new layout .. 25% of the screen was taken up just for the avatar, which is really wasteful on a small mobile screen, plus, not everybody is on a mega dataplan/highspeed, so not downloading the avatars achieves : more screen usage .. faster download .. and less bandwidth.

At which point do you get the funky split screen .. when you reply, adding images, showing images, ?

If you quote someone else's post and there is an emoticon at the end of the post, it seems to leave off the last /quote text.

Well, based on a test sample of one at least

This is on Firefox, Win7, and using the plain text editor. If you use the RTF editor it seems to quote the previous text fine.

Do you have to set the editor to plain text each time, or is it set with a cookie or something? I open tabs all over the place with different topics, so I can't tell at this stage.

I have found that using the plain text editor doesn't seem to handle carriage returns properly. The resulting text leaves them out and the text is all one block. It seems that I can add a < br / > to do this,
but why?
If you then edit the same text with the RT editor, the CRs come back and display correctly.

This is using Firefox, Win7, a Lenovo thinkpad with a core i5, and a dirty LCD display.

The split screen thing is doing it all the time but at random. It is doing it in the message page and in the shop as well. I just sent you a PM Laurie.

Edit. It only seems unstable with the phone tipped on its side/landscape orientation. Upright it seems ok?
