Estranged Reality Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 I've sent a couple messages the past couple days where a large portion of the text didn't show up after I hit 'submit.' I think it was because I posted a link -- both times all the text I wrote after the link just completely disappeared. When I went to my outbox and viewed the messages I sent, that's when I realized most of what I'd written was completely gone.Anyone else having this issue?

John Bonham Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Here's an example from IE without toggling back and forth. I try to link you to this page: http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/12/02/guns-n-roses-reliving-past-glory.html without toggling back and forth, and the link gets all crapped-up.

highvoltage Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 And did you paste the link, or use that link tool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highvoltage Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 It's a problem with IE11 and the editor that IP.Board uses: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/395212-any-plans-to-make-editor-in-ipboard-34-series-ie11-compatible They've released an unofficial fix which I'll apply - we'll see if it helps.

Estranged Reality Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm in Chrome. It's not the text joining the link, Bonham -- all the text I type after the link literally disappears after I hit "post." It's bizarre and only started happening the past couple days. I'll see if I can replicate it again to verify and if so I'll post my results here. But it happened earlier this evening two times in row while private messaging users. EDIT: To reduce confusion, let's pretend this is a message I'm sending.And then I post a link like this in my message: http://www.eatmysilkworms.piczo.comAnd then i post more text below the link. The text you're reading right now would completely disappear after I hit the post button. It's like the URL acts as some kind of end to the message and anything you write afterward just erases itself. Very weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very weird.I haven't had that problem, the one I had would combine the text and the link. Say I sent the link http://www.eatmysilkworms.piczo.com and wanted to say something else like, Estranged Reality is a moderator, it would end up looking like http://www.eatmysilkworms.piczo.comestrangedrealityisamoderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
