Forum.. Message box problems?

[Cleoriff]

Hi all

Not sure whether this is just a problem with my netbook...or something affecting others.

2 nights ago the Forum went down for about an hour around 2am in the morning....(I was getting the Oops we are having a problem' message)

The following morning (yesterday) all seemed back to normal...except the message reply box?

The Insert link>Insert picture>Insert video boxes are now being displayed (for me) in a completely different format. No longer the usual colour and design but black and white.

*The insert link feature is not working....

*Spellcheck is not working....

I cannot take a snip to show you as I don't have that facility on this netbook

As I say this is happening on my MSI netbook. I rarely use my phone to access the forum

It just seems coincidental that it all happened after the forum went offline?

Agreed about the Rich Editor boxes.

Spell Check is not working.

Glad to say Chell Specker is working fine for me @Anonymous  - now there's a first!  

Hope you are having a splendid Saturday.

Insert link appears to have an extra input box for title, I don't remember that there before on O2C.

Wondering if all this is the advent of some forum changes.

Can't say how long it has been there @aldaweb  but it certainly was there a couple of weeks ago.  I noticed it when I was toying with the idea of posting an image but in the end decided against lest my silly sense of humour might have caused annoyance.

I must have a problem typing the word MESSAGE...first time it was messeage...and then I edited it...second time I spelt massage...oh well I have the heat to blame...:smileywink:

The insert an image' box (once opened) has been changed for about 2 weeks now... I insert a lot of pictures so am pretty certain of that.....

The 'insert a link' box  changed the same time...but I normally open that box and paste the link inside the space provided...that no longer works for me. I just have to copy and paste directly into my post (and hope that works)......

Well @Anonymous  you could be right, it's possible I'm thinking of a different forum.

I am back home now and using my UK laptop and still having the same problems....

(With the 'inserting a link' issue I can see more clearly now what happens)

If the link is from here (O2) it will paste using the box... ie paste in URL section Press OK and it pastes in message box

IF the link is from an outside source ie PC Advisor etc etc...I now have to paste that directly into the message field without using the Insert Link box....

This is what's different (for me anyway)

Is this the same for others?

Hi Cleoriff

I don't use that insertion box but copy and paste typically.

I sure Toby and MarinaP will take a peek under the covers when they catch up on the forum.
