corpsband Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 When I click "Edit" the quick editor launches my message in very condensed BBcode removing all the line breaks and spacing. When I click "Full Editor" I see the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hell, that's not unusual. The READERS of this post are getting confused reading it, too. I don't think there's a problem with the editor. I think the problem is with the poster. Your post and question makes me glad I'm a technology idiot. I only need to know the location of the "Back" button.

JohnD Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) I'm not sure that I see the problem. Let me see if another paragraph helps here. Here's the third paragraph: Dynamically optimize diverse architectures after prospective applications. Intrinsicly myocardinate cross functional processes whereas dynamic infomediaries. Progressively network highly efficient process improvements through professional supply chains. Seamlessly productize 24/365 web-readiness without goal-oriented markets. Dramatically maximize clicks-and-mortar mindshare via functionalized channels. Dynamically pontificate pandemic vortals rather than extensible convergence. Holisticly disintermediate accurate metrics with strategic human capital. Intrinsicly embrace cross-media data without user friendly ideas. Rapidiously build unique bandwidth vis-a-vis viral users. Globally orchestrate vertical ROI before proactive leadership skills. Distinctively customize enterprise-wide outsourcing after excellent infomediaries. Objectively promote future-proof markets rather than enabled products. (generated by a "Lorem Ipsum for MBAs" tool) OK - this post has been edited.

Perhaps not surprisingly this reads a lot like the prospectuses and legal briefs I pore over. But at least I understand what that gobblety-gook is trying to say! This looks like a bad Rorschach test on steroids... Or, now that I think of it, it looks like a lot of other posts on DCP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Perhaps not surprisingly this reads a lot like the prospectuses and legal briefs I pore over. But at least I understand what that gobblety-gook is trying to say! This looks like a bad Rorschach test on steroids... Or, now that I think of it, it looks like a lot of other posts on DCP. FYI: The "Lorem ipsum dolor sit ahmet .... " text is a pre-defined pattern of 'Latin-looking words' (allegedly a speech by Cicero that's been hacked - ala' Norm Crosby) that's used to approximate the layout and placement of text in a graphics design. By using "Lorem ipsum" text, the designer doesn't have to think about creating large blocks of sample text to fill a space .... but can rather just cut-n-paste this nonsense into place. It also is supposed to approximate the distribution of characters in 'normal correspondence' - so you don't have pages filled with lower-case L's ... when you may wind-up with upper-case M's or W's ... which can really throw your layout off. The generator that I used above was created to do the same thing - but using 'modern business terms' strung together ... just to keep the Wharton-MBA-types guessing. If you read it carefully, you'll realize that some propeller-heads (said respectfully) DO have a sense of humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsband Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I can even quote the post in my reply - with no apparent problem.It seems to happen editing posts with inline quotes.I can even quote the post in my reply - with no apparent problem.Copied and pasted quote block.clicked on Edit clicked on Use Full Editor So I'm still seeing the BBCode exposed at the top the message, The visual features themselves all seem to be working ok. But when retreiving the message text up in the text input field, the editing target is rendered as BBCode not in the visual style. In case it's getting lost in the block above -- this only happens with inline quoting. Editing messages with quote below or quote above (or maybe just multiple quote blocks?) seem to work ok. Wierd. FOUND IT. A plugin in chrome was interfering somehow. Disabling all plugins made it go away. Sorry to waste your time.
