Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
I'm using Firefox 65.0.1 (64 bit)
For the past week or so, I've been seeing an error message that says "A web page is slowing down your browser. What would you like to do?" It's a yellow bar at the top of my browser with buttons to "Wait" or "Stop It".
It only happens on the DVDTalk forum. And it happens when I'm loading a new page. Like when I go forward/back or submit a post. It doesn't happen all the time, just every once in a while. And sometimes it goes away on it's own, other times I have to close the tab.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
The issue I'm pointing out is that members with no posts are allowed to start threads, making it easier for spammers to post and clog the forums. Before the updates, there was a post requirement before new users could start new threads. The pic I posted is a member with 1 post, which was the spam thread.

No biggie though. I went back to Full CKEditor. The reason I had switched was because when pasting an article the text would appear huge (it would automatically add[h1]tags, but I found a solution. Clicking on the "Source" button first then applying the copy and paste works without adding the strange html tags.

IMHO there's not a single editor that works for all situations, "optimized" or not. We need one that works - for everything. If that can't be done then fix the "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls" as it does work as before but has an edit box size issue *on some screens."
Essentially, when you switch to "Advanced" mode the edit box can not drug to the width of the screen as before. The max is maybe 1/3rd (at least on my screen). It can be pulled down as far as you want but it can't be pulled across.
Replying to a post presents an editor interface like the "Advanced" mode - unable to pull the edit window to screen width.
I'd think that should be easy to "fix" as the width can be adjusted properly if you edit an already created post which means the code is there, just not in all locations.

This is RED in the "Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls" (and shows the code that is is and shows as red on screen) but if I switch to "Full CKEditor" and try to edit the post it shows as normal black letters. If I've used several colors I have no idea which colors are on what letter unless I remember.
Example: RGB doesn't show the individual colored letters in the "Full CKEditor."
And if I subsequently edit that post with the "Full CKEditor" it gets royally messed up changing the color name to $amp in the color command.

I hear you whotony, I can't stand the mobile skin on my tablet, it looks ugly and stupid. Fortunately, the full skin looks OK on my tablet, I just wish it would stop trying to switch back to mobile skin, I hate that.
Also hate the drop down menus right above the links to go back to previous (or the main) forum page(s). I always use those links to go back to a previous or the main page, it's easiest for me, but I'll inadvertantly move my mouse cursor a tad too far up and the drop-down menu gets in my way. Happens more often than I care to admit.

It only happens on the Forum pages. Usually when I hit Submit Reply on the Reply to Thread page and I also have the site open in multiple tabs. The submission will hang and I'll get that error message. But if I close the other tabs, it'll finish.

Are Wikiposts still being fixed? I went to my Drive-in Challenge from last year to port over and my Safe List Wiki is gone and replaced by some MiniFAQ or something.

So I no longer have the ability to emb Instagram posts before the update on iOS? Does that applies to YouTube embedding too? I need a desktop or laptop and cannot do it on mobile?

For whatever reason, asterisks were being added to my post, found here: https://forum.dvdtalk.com/other-talk...l#post13517664
I actually typed the asterisks in the *edit* portion, but any others that are found in the body of the post were not typed by me.

I haven't noticed it on any posts, since, but I am (and was) using a PC running Windows 7 and Chrome.

Whenever I add a Twitter link, the words I type afterwards continue to be hyperlinked. Simply copying and pasting the embed code doesn't work for me either.
