Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 9, 201113 yr I had just posted a topic in one of the forum and i was totally shocked to see that when i posted topic it was all changed. Their was huge gap between my sentences, the big size sentence which i posted in center had huge gap and all my sentences had like 5-6 lines blank space between them. I was like, had to edit it 3 times to get it proper without that much spacing. I seriously did not expect this with 3.2. So want to ask, why should one go for 3.2 when i had to like spend some minutes writing thread and loads of minutes editing the thread, if community becomes big that thing is going to be a real problem O.O
August 9, 201113 yr Formatting of posts are working fine for me. In fact, the editor is one of the things that has impressed me the most and seems to be working much better than the rich-text editor in IPB 3.1. The quality of the rich-text editor (RTE) has been one of the key areas where I've felt that vBulletin has been far, far superior to IPB. In IPB 3.1, lots of strange stuff happened, especially if you tried to copy-paste content directly into the RTE... line spaces would appear where there were no line spaces; entire paragraphs would be bolded when I'd only bolded one or two words; when you pasted formatted text into 3.1, it would frequently transfer the formatting with it, resulting in strange font sizes and spaces all over the place. As far as I can tell, that's all changed in 3.2. The formatting of posts and the overall posting experience have definitely improved. Regarding your problems: what browser are you using? Did you copy-paste any text into the editor?
August 9, 201113 yr Author no, i just had made 1 thread. In that, i just made a thread than after making it, i made the first few sentence at 48 and centered it and some sentence to left, when i posted that thread, everything was messed up, their was huge space between each sentence and stuff, it was really pain. I asked this question in Chat if it can be solved but like me other people were having the same problem of that auto-format thing, and its really troubling. I would certainly agree that vB has got a v good text editor and mods but the awesome UI of IPB is keeping away from it for now.
August 9, 201113 yr Their was huge gap between my sentences, the big size sentence which i posted in center had huge gap and all my sentences had like 5-6 lines blank space between them. Yes, sometimes I have the same issue. Some my posts are much more deleting than writing.

Okay. I haven't tried using centring, so that's why I haven't seen this issue before. The good news is that it's already been reported by other users (see here and here), and a fix will be included in IPB 3.2.1.
August 9, 201113 yr Management I would certainly agree that vB has got a v good text editor and mods but the awesome UI of IPB is keeping away from it for now. vB uses the same exact text editor we do: CKeditor
August 9, 201113 yr vB uses the same exact text editor we do: CKeditor How long has that been the case? The live version of the board I'm on uses IPB 3.1.x, and I find the rich text editor to be terrible compared to my experience with vBulletin boards. I frequently have to edit my posts on 3.1 two or three times in order to eliminate phantom line-breaks or add ones that I already put in the first time around.
August 9, 201113 yr Management They started using Ckeditor a bit after we put it into 3.2 so we've both been using it fairly recently.
August 10, 201113 yr They started using Ckeditor a bit after we put it into 3.2 so we've both been using it fairly recently. Okay, thanks for that. vBulletin's editor was already very good, but the shift to CKeditor has clearly been a substantial improvement for IPB. Good move.
August 10, 201113 yr Author so is that thing which lot of people are facing related to increased no of spacing and auto-format stuff fixed in the version of 3.2.1 ?
August 10, 201113 yr Author wonder why am i not able to edit my posts ????? Also, got confirmation from some one that the problem still exist, even if you post 1 sentence below another it will show you gap of like 2-3 lines between those 2 sentence. Darn, if it don't get fixed, i will be forced to go with vB which i don't want to
August 10, 201113 yr 1) You can only edit your posts up to 5 minutes after you made the post. This is a per-group permission setting in IPB (you can control that how you want on your board). 2) Your posts look perfectly normal to me. I don't see 3 extra line breaks between sentences. And just to confirm.... Test line 1 This is on the very next line And this is two lines below the last one
August 10, 201113 yr I also have this overkill of white lines when I reply or start a new post. Horrible I'm on Chrome (Mac)
August 10, 201113 yr Author our posts look perfectly normal to me. I don't see 3 extra line breaks between sentences. That was just some test stuff to test more things, i have tested that in other forum and its still the problem. And as you can see that the problem is occurring to everyone.
August 11, 201113 yr Author Here is the spacing problem i was talking about :- << Initial Post << Output This is just about few line, when we write some big article or something, its pretty messed up, and editing those blank lines takes more time than writing the article.
August 11, 201113 yr I haven't stumbled upon that one myself, but if you have a reliable test case you can reproduce with, I'd encourage you to post a bug report in our tracker so that we can investigate and fix the issue. http://community.invisionpower.com/tracker/
August 11, 201113 yr Author Here :-http://community.invisionpower.com/tracker/issue-32628-lot-of-spacing-after-each-line/ I have tested it again, and took screenshots, i really hope if you can fix this issue, as their are lot of people facing the same problem.
August 11, 201113 yr Make one line centered and other not. Now turn editor on/off few times and you will see two things: - Newlines are multiplying - Both lines are inside I really hope this will be fixed in 3.2.2. Its irritating my power users great-deal to post content on my forum with those bugs.
August 11, 201113 yr Author browser and operating system would help them Currently i am using Windows 7 x64 with Google Chrome (Latest Version).
August 13, 201113 yr hello, I'd just like to say that I'm having all sorts of issues with this editor. 1) the fact that when the RTE is turned off I can't use any of the buttons in the toolbar (bbcode buttons would really be useful) 2) more importantly: special characters get ######ed up when editing posts, switching editors, previewing, etc. basically the special character gets replaced by their HTML code equivalent (& becomes & visible in clear text etc.) 3) switching editors generally causes trouble. Sometimes I edit stuff in plain text, I save it, then I come back to the RTE (relaoding the page or other) then all the line breaks are gone. Weird stuff like that. Using FF 5, IPB 3.2.1 (upgraded from 3.2 which was in turn upgraded from 3.1) it kinda blows for now...
August 29, 201113 yr I have issues with editing. Using google chrome, and the boards tell me that can't figure out which topic I'm trying to edit... It did let me edit on this board, though...
September 2, 201113 yr I upgraded to 3.2.2 one day ago and I got so far only positive reactions from members. Well done.
