SpaceKadet Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I noticed that the "Edit" link on my posts disappears shortly after posting. Is this normal? Also, on some posts the entire paragraph disappears, or the post is blank if it consists of only one paragraph. The latest example is my last post here: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/865496-single-internet-gateway-your-thoughts/page-2 Any help or explanation appreciated.

Crossy Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The easy one first, yes the 'edit' button disappears after 20 mins or so. As to your empty posts, no idea, that blank post is completely empty which should never happen. If I try to edit it I get the 'you must enter a post' error. Are you experiencing slow or erratic internet at present? There have been a number of reports of odd things occurring on TOT connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I've had erratic internet connection last week, just like many others who were complaining here in TV. But it seems that TOT have fixed their routing problems, and it has been pretty normal for the past few days. Actually the similar paragraph is missing from my post above the link. It was just 2-3 sentences describing how to display root CA on Chrome browser. When I saw it missing I created a new post with same information, and that became blank. Maybe this BB s/w doesn't like to talk about Chrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Any more suggestions? Has anybody else experienced this? Do we have a Testing Forum here on TV? Somewhere one could try things out, that would be automatically deleted after a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 As can not see your post kind of hard to be sure but did it have computer machine functions within it by any chance? Your post of what it was about seems to indicate it might have - and perhaps that is what has made it disappear. You might try the BB code switch (top left above composition screen) and see if switching with that makes any difference in a post containing it here?

SpaceKadet Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 It happened again... Okey, I think I know what did it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 What makes this particular post disappear is chrome_:_/_/settings_/ without the underscores. But it displays in "Preview Post" Could not make the BB code switch to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Because that's in internal browser URI that can 'set' functions/features I think ThaiVisa filters is out and prevents it from being posted. Yea, I just tried posting that in a 'code box' and it redacted it to blank. This link follows the 'code box'. Let's see if it gets posted or 'lost' in the redaction.

Crossy Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ooooh, I can do it too See above. So don't put "chrome_:_/_/settings_/" (or something similar) in your posts and the problem will go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceKadet Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Sure, I know about this one now. But it is impossible for us simple users to know exactly what other stuff this BB filter will barf at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Sure, I know about this one now. But it is impossible for us simple users to know exactly what other stuff this BB filter will barf at. Indeed, but since this is the first time it (or something similar) has come up in all the years I've been a member I think we're fairly safe Don't put anything other than plain text or BBcode from the functions panel in your posts and it will work just fine.

SpaceKadet Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 I must say this was something unexpected, and to chop the whole paragraph containing this little piece... not very well written BB software.... Has not happened to me on any other bulletin boards I'm the member of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
