I posted a reply to a thread in the Poser Forum; just a paragraph of text, and what happened was all replies to the OP (including mine) disappeared, and the following message appeared above the thread:
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '== 'active' ORDER BY post_date LIMIT 0,29' at line 4, occured in query: "SELECT t.*, m.username, m.date_first_logon AS joined, m.location AS user_location, m.avatar_url AS avatar, u.posts AS user_posts, u.last_post AS user_last_post, u.signature AS user_signature FROM forumpro_message t LEFT OUTER JOIN member m ON t.user_id=m.userid LEFT OUTER JOIN forumpro_user u ON t.user_id=u.user_id WHERE t.thread_id='2642018' AND t.status == 'active' ORDER BY post_date LIMIT 0,29;".

I usually type my posts in Outlook for spell checking reasons,then copy and paste them into the forum reply field.
On that particular post,I went back and edited the".(Directly under the word "Body") part of the text.
BUT..I notice Bobs warpped correctly also.
I think that if your text exceeds the reply body,it wraps correctly,but if you hit "Enter" it spaces twice.
I did not copy/paste this reply for test perposes so ignore any mispellings.

But the post before that I didn't (I just used the text reply editor here) notice how my long,first sentence dropped properly?(The words "reply field.").It's my guess that hitting "Enter" is what is double spacing.

Do you mean typing everything in Outlook first?
If so...no,it's not really a pain. I have dual monitors and Outlook open in one and my browser in the other.
It's great for spell checking first and also gives me a copy of my posts in case the server times out while I'm typing.
Usually,when I'm ready,I re-fresh my browser and paste it.

Quote - I don't have an arrow. FWIW I'm on a Mac using Safari 2.0.3.
The HTML Editor does not work on Safari. I, too, use Safari and am disappointed by that fact. However, we officially only support the following browsers: Firefox, IE, Netscape, Mozzila. Many in the browser community have complained to Apple that it needs to take Safari back into Beta mode. It simply needs to be re-written because it doesn't support anything compared to mainstream browsers.
Most Javascript-based inbrowser HTML / WSYWIG editors don't support Safari. In fact, as far as I know, none of them do. If you want to use the HTML editor, you will have to use Firefox or Netscape on your Mac.
Sorry for the bad news.

The same issues arose int he old store format, as well, with merchants using black text on a white background that would suddenly vanish on a screen with such.

Williamsn is correct -- the html editors out there that Renderosity can use for commercial purposes all essentially rely on built in capabilities of the browsers themselves, typically via javascript.
Opera, Safari, and most other browsers outside of the Mozilla/IE grouping simply have no ability to support these editors. Nor are they likely to.
Incidentally, wait until IE7, which already has several fixes for well known CSS/HTML issues that IE6- was buggy as all get out about. And adds support for more stuff, which, incidentally, will require changes to all the CSS pages already being used.
That's hitting the internet in full this fall (about, oh, 6 months from now). Right about the same time that use of the

That's simply not true. If Opera works with DAZ on phpBB and their editor, and works with CG Talk on vBulletin and their editor, then the problem is not in Opera but in Renderosity code. Incidentally, CG Talk uses the same "function MM_findObj" call (from Dreamweaver, IINW) as Renderosity. The difference is they use version 4.01, and Renderosity uses version 3.0.
And testing a site of this complexity on TWO browsers is lame, completely lame. Especially so because anything works in Explorer.
If you're wondering what am I talking about, Firefox is Mozilla, and Netscape uses Mozilla and Explorer engines. Two engines - two browsers.

This fall? You wish. :biggrin: They are constantly pushing the release dates.
Okay, IE7 may have fixed lots of bugs present in previous versions, but it introduced new ones and hasn't fixed some of the old ones, like the DIV backgrounds.
Incidentally, this site is completely... no I won't say it. I just opened this forum in Explorer 7, saw some browser sniffing and was rejected. Explorer 7 doesn't have the editor, either.
Hell and damnation. Please, remove browser sniffing and leave browsers to do what they can do. We don't need such lame tricks.

phpbb and vbulletin don't use this style of editor -- they use a custom implementation that essentially exists in order to allow for the functionality i as many browsers as possible.
And it simply is true. Note that I said: "... that Renderosity can use for commercial purposes..". That, all by itself, changes a lot of things.
I'm aware of the methodology. As for lame, I disagree. By doing so, they cover in excess of 90% of the effective population. That's wise use of available resources. Perhaps Opera would gain more ground by changing their implentation...
Like I said -- wait for it, lol. IE7 is going to pretty much require recoding almost every site. And doesn't Rosity just look so awesome in IE7? I mean, wow -- who knew it could be so totally wrecked.
Wait for the results of the Eolas case to kick in, too. No more "object" tags...

Don't seem so at CG TAlk, but, anyway, where's the problem with that? Why Renderosity cannot do that? Why do they have to use browser sniffing?
Quote - I'm aware of the methodology. As for lame, I disagree. By doing so, they cover in excess of 90% of the effective population. That's wise use of available resources. Perhaps Opera would gain more ground by changing their implentation...
When they test in Netscape, which covers 0.5% of the market in March (even less than IE 7), I wouldn't say it's a wise use of resources. And remember, they want to sell this. Will their potential clients tell their clients that they have to switch browsers?

What they do is serve stuff according to the results of browser sniffing.
And then have an iframe for the editor.
What's problematic with iframes and Opera or Safari? In Opera, there were some problems with JS iframes, but that was sloved two versions ago.
Or it may be that they have problems with all those display: none fields? I'd have to check more thoroughly to see about that.
Besides, the editor itself is a piece of GPL code. More precisely, under the Lesser GPL, which says that you mustn't charge for it. IOW, they cannot sell it.
