Repeated template when editing Homework posts

  • Thread starter carllacan
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation discusses a bug in the templates of the Homework subforum where an empty template is added when a post is edited. The bug is a known issue and cannot be fixed by the forum members. The solution is to click the Report button and the Mentors will clean it up. The last comment is a joke about the irony of not being able to fix a technical issue in a forum full of experts in theoretical physics.

Hi.

I've noticed a bug in the templates of the Homework subforum. Whenever I edit a post I get an empty template added to the original text.

That is, if I edit the post

1. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
2. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
3. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah

I get
1. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
2. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
3. Blah blah blah
Blah blah blah
1. Blah blah blah

2. Blah blah blah

3. Blah blah blah

A forum full of people who can do theoretical physics and we can't fix that? Weird :-p

The people in the forum do not control the software used to run the forum.

Please feel free to click the Report button on such OPs. The Mentors can clean that up fairly quickly. I do it all of the time.
