Data center needs to claim the busted HD which is now slaved on the server. This means the server will be down about 30min Sat at 7pm CST.

I hope it doesn't turn into a whole day again. I don't think my F5 key could handle that two weeks in a row...

<- artist's impression of me hitting refresh every five minutes at reasonable intervals last weekend.

Noticed the editing ... Lol

Yep! Works now. Started getting e-mails ...
Greg must have done some magic!

Same here... I’m assuming it’s normal so I’ll just wait.

Emails are working again, I can see. If you are not getting notifications unwatch and then rewatch the thread.

It was fixed. Mine works

When Editing a post, the "Remove Formatting" button has no effect; the "Use BB Code Editor" button shows the post as entered, i.e. with the BB Codes shown rather than executed.

Or am I wrongly remembering 'The Way It Used To Be'?

I wasn’t here before so I have no clue... I can’t even find the button

The button(s) in question appear in the upper right when you Edit one of your recent posts. I _thought_ the "Remove Formatting" button used to operate as the "Use BB Code Editor" button now operates. I haven't used the "Use BB Code Editor" when Editing, so I don't know its past function.

With 'before', I was referring to before the sight went offline a week ago.

Perhaps one of the site Guru's has an answer.

I think the BB button does what is expected and the Remove Formatting (RF) button never did anything. Ctrl+Z (or is it Ctrl+Y on an English keyboard?) does any reversals, so I can't really think of a function for this RF button.

Make sure text is highlighted

Make some text bold. Highlight it and then click the remove formatting button.

Thanks for the tip. I always did the same by hitting the corresponding format button again.

Oh! Well thanks for the information! I learned something new today :P

The remove formatting button is nice for bulk content with many different formats. You can remove it all in one go.

I should try that when I ask my confusing and long analytical questions

Ouch! Just tried that in this reply. Remove Formatting only changes the highlight color while depressed. Use BB Code gets rid of the banner at the top of the box that this is reply is created in, changes the box outline to Red, changes the text to Blue. This is decidedly different than what happens when Editing a post.

Edit: Trying BB Codes while Editing This s/b Bold.

Referring to the following post by @Greg Bernhardt
Edit2: No, Use BB Codes does _not_ show codes and cancel WYSIWYG. It changes the displayed text to Blue, etc. and persists if no changes are made to the post.

"use bbcode" will show the tags instead of WYSIWYG

@Greg Bernhardt See my edits to post #61. One of the buttons removed the bold codes in the first edit. I used to be able to, when editing, show the BB Codes, i.e. suppress the WYSIWYG. This allowed moving a BB Code or adding text after the Code field. Currently (as of yesterday) it is impossible to append clear text following the last closing BB Code.

Try Editing a post that has bold text, only select the Use BB Code button, and save it. Then Edit again.

Edit: bold (this string inserted by Editing. It should not be bold.)

hmmm this should not be so. It does change the text blue but should show the BB code. What browser/version are you using? Anyone have this issue?

Try clearing your cache. I did a small update yesterday, but should not have affected this.

No, the blue color seems to be only in the BB editor.

I will Quote my Post#65 below then Edit #65 using only Use BB Code button with no other changes to see what happens.
