Edit Rant

Do you think you could fix the "edit" feature before you work on more new stuff? I am sick to death of clicking on the "edit" button and seeing all those little yellow smiley faces. :yell:

I agree! We used to be able to fix things after we posted. Now it just adds

a new line.

I hear that clicking on Go Advanced makes it possible to edit. (I personally am not having any editing trouble, so this is rumor.) Give it a try and let us know what happens.

I have the problem off and on. How weird is that?

But it's true. If you go to edit in advanced mode, it's much nicer. It's still not perfect as it leaves some code tags in that you'll have to edit out (e.g. special characters like quotes are translated to their code equivalents, paragraph tages are in place, etc.), and this is at least better than the smiley faces.

Strange but at some point in time in the last month, I was no longer notified by email when a new posting on a forum I subscribed to appeared. Now I get notified on forums that I didn't realize I even subscribed to and when I try to "unsubscribe", I can't. Is there a problem with this particular area? Thanks!

Before clicking edit, simply highlight and copy the text. Then delete all the smileys and paste the text, make the corrections and hit submit.

I too am no longer receiveing email notices for certain posts. I get them for some stuff but not others. Weird....~Mandy

I would like that unsubscribe feature to be fixed too. Sometimes I just want to

add my two cents but dont' want to keep following it.

I tried highlighting like you said and I could not get the smiley faces to go away.

The edit needs to be fixed for sure!! Those smileys are annoying. We should be able to bring up our post and fix what we want.

You have to highlight and click copy, then click edit. When you get all the smileys highlight and click delete. Then paste your text, and edit that. ~Mandy
