Just noticed this today (upgraded to latest version yesterday) but not sure if it's a new thing or pre-existing.

Sometimes (and not all the time) when quoting or editing a message with an emoticon in it, it will not show correctly in the edit/quote text box (or after posting the new message).

For instance, when quoting or editing a message with the LOL smiley on it, it comes up with:

[IMG]smileys/smiley36.gif" align="middle" />

But it works properly on some of the posts.  Any thoughts?



I should add that I have the Web Wiz Rich Text Editor (WYSIWYG): disabled.

Thanks! Smile

Thanks ThorSimpson, this was actually reported yesterday but does effect previous versions.

The problem is coursed by the latest version writes images in XHTML format with a /> on the end and when editing when not using the RTE is has to return the image into BBcode format which is looking for HTML with just > and not /> at the end.

This will be corrected for the next version, but I would recommend using the RTE as it is much nicer than the plain text editor.

If you are worried about security when using the RTE then you needn't be as Web Wiz Forums was the first forum system to use a built in RTE back in 2001 before anyone else so security filters to protect against hacking and Cross Site Scripting (XSS) within the Web Wiz Forums have been built with to work with the RTE and so are extra secure.

Thanks Borq.  I will try the RTE again later tonight. I disabled it because there was a conflict with the style sheet I am using where the background of the RTE field was the same as the background of my page (which is way too dark for the RTE field).  I think it is because I was using a background image but I am not any more so maybe it will work fine.  Either way I'm sure I could find my way through the CSS to create a new custom style.  I'm sure I can get it working tonight.

Thanks for the fast reply and keep up the great work!!!

The colour of the RTE textarea can be changed through the forums own CSS Styles.

I was just going to post about this problem.

It also exists with IMG tags as well.

I've tried it with the RTE enabled and disabled and the error exists for both.

So I guess we'll just have to wait for it to be fixed in the next version?

Keep up the good work...

Star

edit: check that.  it does work fine with the RTE enabled but I was testing it on a Mac using Safari which the RTE doesn't seem to support.

So I guess only my Mac Safari users will be affected until a fix is released.

Try setting a blank background image for the RTE area:-

background-image: url();

I would like to know if there is a fix for this problem. Members of my forum do occasionally get this "/>" thing at the end of the image link.
I'm using the latest forum version and RTE is disabled (i preffer it that way).
Since i didn't updated all files (with the latest version) but only those listed as modifited i would like to know wwhere the fix was performed (if any)

Thank you
