Forum Update - April 2, 2009

Minor update, but important

Published on April 2, 2009 By GunslingerBara In Forum Issues

The forums have been updated again today with a minor change. If a user edits his/her post, there will now be a "View Edits" button. Clicking this button will show a history of that reply/post, along with highlights (red = removed text, green = added text).

If you do not see the button or clicking the button does nothing, please do a "hard refresh" by holding Ctrl and pressing F5. This will clear your cache and force a download of the new image and javascript file.

Hopefully this will reduce the amount of griefers who go back and edit all of their posts.

The FF spell check doesn't work. Never has. Something to do with the control we use. It's being evaluated for future builds.

I think it stems somewhat from the fact that the control is some form of WYSYWIG editor made possible by some sort of JavaScript stuff. It's not really a normal HTML text control, and the text displayed in it is dynamic via the JavaScript, and I don't think Firefox's spell checker is equipped to check text generated on the fly via JavaScript.

Essentially, if you want to keep the WYSIWYG aspect, you'd have to find a control that includes spell checking, or modify the control to add some sort of spell checking support. I think there are some publically available JavaScript spell checkers.

Exactly, that's why the built-in spell checkers don't work.

Actually, a little known secret: If you open the HTML Source Editor, you can right click inside it, enable spell checking, and it works .
