i updated the links section on a page i adopted, and the entire set of links are displaying twice:

http://www.summitpost.org/mount-williamson/152023

it's happening on my work IE browser and my home FF browser.

i go into edit mode, but i don't see anything to fix / delete in that section.

I've paid a little more attention to what's happening with <br> tags.
Now, I wouldn't like it very much, but I could see there might be a reason why <br> tags would be removed when switching from HTML to WYSIWYG mode. However, even if I work in HTML mode and submit an edited page without switching to WYSIWYG mode, some <br> tags are removed.

For the record, while I think the editor could improve its handling of <br> tags, if I speak only for myself, I can work around it. I just add a clear attribute to the <br> tag. Done that quite a few times already. However, I believe that the biggest problem lies with all the pages that were created before the new editor: when someone edits such a page, and, without the editor noticing it, <br> tags are removed in various places, including those where nothing should be changed, the new page may look awkward. Yet, with a small change, the editor will probably only check if the change itself looks good - while in the mean time somewhere else in the page something's gone wrong!

Hi,
I´m trying to create a new Image, filling in all the fields, and selecting a file (9 Mb) from my computer, but when I press the "Submit Changes" button the path of my file in the field "File" desappears and the picture is not uploaded. No error messages appear.

The link to the page I´m creating is: http://www.summitpost.org/new_edit_obje ... _id=865263

Browser: Internet Explorer 9.0.19
OS: Windows 7

Thank you for your support

I remember hearing many years ago that it is a 8MB limit. Let me know if you need any advise on resizing, I'm able to resize a 100+ photos in speedy time with Picasa.

Frankly, I believe that it's bad idea to upload lots of pictures to SP in high resolution, because unless those viewing it have a fast internet connection, downloading it just takes too long. Only if there is something special to see do I find it useful. To give a few examples, this includes labelled panoramas and really detailed pictures of a mountain that clarify one or more routes. Those, I believe, really add value to SP.

Mind you, at home my connection is fast so I have no trouble with big images. However, when I'm traveling and use whatever internet access I happen to come across, it is often too slow to look at big images - and so I simply abort the download when it takes to long. And when I use the Slideshow viewer, for example to have a look at what's new or browse the best images in the last week, big pictures tend to be skipped and I don't get to see them.
So, if you want me to look at the big version of your image, I suggest resizing it to something manageable, and not post everything in, say, 4000 by 3000.

I go with 1200px, diagrams and panoramas get a bigger resolution of course.

Don't know if it's a bug or my lack of computer skills but I'm having some difficulty posting a TH page. I've tried using the new and old editor with similar results.
This pops up when I hit the submit button:

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Matt!

I got the same error when testing. So I take it this was not resolved yet.

I submitted a new page as a test and got the following code:

Code: Select all

I also tested with an already existing page and got less sql code, but still some. So either the comma isn't being parsed out or there is some other issue here.

Yeay! The comma issue is no more. For fun I decided to test it with a & symbol which still gives tons of SQL code. Not a big deal, but is it possible to have it parse out all characters except numerical ones?

Hello,
I just created a page, and although "under construction" is set to "NO", it always shows "this page is under construction"!!!!
My page is under mountains&rocks and the name of the page is "koloon bastak (Daryook) rock glacier". Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Kamran

Thanks Montana.
