NewsVine's New Bugs

advertisement

Here's some of the bugs I experience now under Safari 3.1.2:

  • In the comment editor when I select XHTML I no longer have a live preview.
  • In the comment editor sometimes the XHTML editor mangles tags so they show up as text
  • In the comment editor, after saving, the black "you can continue to edit" bar sometimes disappears.
  • Pictures I upload with an article no longer have captions
  • Comments from other people magically disappear and reappear
  • In the XHTML comment editor, newlines are magically lost when you re-edit a comment
  • Up-vote icons often and inconsistently disappear
  • Most infuriating, if you revise an article and then republish, sometimes the new edits you make just magically disappear. Poof, gone.

Also I find the new WYSIWYG editor awkward to use and I can't see any place to set XHTML editing as a preference on my account.

Obviously you guys need to test these things before releasing them live to bedevil your users. It would be best for you to roll back to the previous release until your act is back together.

You're in Easy Mode. If you prefer, you can use XHTML Mode instead.
