Problem editing my own posts

[Candex]

Hello,

 

I've been having this issue from almost always... Whenever I try to edit my own posts, and then click 'save changes' , the post looses all sort of formatting and all I get is a bunch of words and signs squashed all together.

 

The weird thing is that I do remember being able to edit properly my posts, once upon a time.... What am I doing wrong? :psyduck:

 

If there is anyone out there that can give me a hand.... Thanks in advance.

 

EDIT: Thanks for such a quick answer! I'm trying the full editor right now for this.

 

EDIT 2: WOHOOOO IT WORKED MANY MANY THANKS!!!!! ;D

Try using the full editor - look below the posting box for a button. Sometimes you can fix a post where the formatting has messed up by just calling it up with the full editor button and posting again.

Yeah I've noticed this happening quite a few times.

It's quite disheartening to see such a structured post turn into html gobbledegook.

 

But yes, editing it using the full editor seems to have it work properly, if not do what I do and make notepad backups of your post with it's relative bbcode :)

notepad can actually screw up the post too. If you've got it selected for word wrapping. Click Format/Word Wrapping (UNCheck if checked).

 

Tho yeah, I also use notepad for some of my posts. Or do a ctrl + A and then ctrl + C. Ctrl +A selects all the text, then ctrl + C (In MOST browsers) uses "copy". Or just right click on your text and choose select all then right click again to choose copy.

Usually works fine, unless your browser crashes....
