In order to keep this at the top of the front page for the day, I checked the "sticky at top of lists" item.

To all: The recent format change reflects some necessary updates that had to be performed to be underlying software, all part of the general work that our tireless webmistress Roxy does to keep us up and running.  There are some minor tweaks and adjustments that we'll all have to help identify and point out; please leave comments in this thread if you notice something that you don't understand or if something works differently/wonky than before; only email Roxy if you're having actual problems.  Let's not inundate mailboxes with back-and-forth messages.

Check out the new WYSIWYG editor on the comments boxes, too -- neat, eh?

The updates give us the ability to take advantage of several new features, and also puts us in good shape for other upcoming changes that should be invisible to user but very beneficial to the site itself.  Stay tuned. :)

And Roxy -- thanks. Nicely done.

Open Thread, but it still posted fine.  Didn't capture the error (it took me off guard, stole my wallet and left me for dead in the side alley by the lounge).  If it happens again, I'll grab it, wrestle it to the ground and knock it into submission with a few well-placed screen shots.

How do I ... post  without the WYSIWG

using already pre-coded HTML plain text?

I did try the link below the window: Switch to plain text editor

Which "sort of worked" ...

in Preview, the <i> in one of the Blockquotes, failed to close

and italics went on to the end of the post.

Here's my problem switching back to the Edit Mode to find the problems

and the editor GOES BACK to WYSIWG, by default,

and then removes all the whitespace in the text etc.   Making the next Preview even worse.

I hope there is an easy fix to this, that I may be overlooking. (staying in plain text editor)

Thanks

Now I'm All confused!

I tried posting again abit ago, the one yesterday was just copied and posted from my site, and once grayhawk got it in and it was showing everything worked. Today I'm trying to post one with three video's which won't copy and probably wouldn't work, don't see anything to add a video after posting plain text!

Tried with the formatted, guess that's what it's called, like my site or kos or as was done here before, no go at least in preview.

Now a quick read of what is above has me wondering if formatted and looks that way in preview will it post that way in save?

Also tried looking in the FAQ's, thems abit old for what you've got here now.

On other sites that look like this they have a link to bring up an HTML editor where you just do as you would before, click that and it gives you the post.
