Blank Status Updates

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

Ever since the forum went down the other day, major issues have arisen with regards to making a status update and using the writing interface.

Making a status update of any kind now comes out completely blank and if one goes in to edit it, they have to do the whole thing over again. One of my closest friends, @TheRockARooster, mentioned this problem too and didn’t seem to get it answered.
On certain devices at the moment, the only writing filters available are Bold, italics, Underline, emotes, link and a note one that I’ve forgotten the name of. 
Both of these bugs have been present for two straight days and nothing has been acknowledged by any member of forum staff, at least that I’ve seen. This is a very urgent problem and I personally don’t think it’s giving the forum a good name, especially for any new people joining. Forgive me for being so stern but to repeat, this is a very urgent problem that hasn’t yet been acknowledged.

Just going to cry for @Jeric on this one

 

Both me and @Rikifive have noticed the problems as well. So that is at least something.

On mobile view, the quote button is gone too. But on desktop it is showing up fine (using it here).

 

Spoiler tags can be copied over from older posts, be edited, and work fine. But the button is gone for creating new spoilers.

If spoilers are enabled, they currently crash the site. So we are doing what we can to keep the site running until the problem is found.

Yeah, the same thing is happening on my end! I have to edit my own status update in order for it to show up.

Give them time.... It's free to play anyway....

I was unable to access my PC since Monday, but now I'm finally back, so I could reconfigure the toolbar to add missing formatting buttons.

Huh? What do you mean? Is there something I should be aware of before adding the buttons back?

 

Edit: Okay I added back the buttons. Please let me know if the buttons would happen to align odd for anypony. I haven't added spoiler buttons, because I'm not sure what @Splashee meant and it would be hilarious terrible to break the forums.

Yay

That's nice! I will now reopen the G5 spoiler thread because we got spoiler tags back.

The blank status update issue still continues to persist after a couple of weeks. This can’t keep going on, please fix it.

Sorry all, should be fixed now.
