Hey Furpod, There seems to be a problem with editing posts. Everytime I try to make a new paragraph in existing text by hitting the return key where I want the new paragraph to start, it erases several lines of text. The text can be recovered by undoing the return key stroke, but it leaves it impossible to make paragraphs in previously typed text. Any idea what is going on? ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

Not a clue. Have not seen it myself.. I would suspect "lag" somewhere between "here and there".. Either way, it's currently above my pay grade either way.

Thanks for getting back on this. It happened before, then stopped for a while. It's been a little cold here to sacrifice chickens on the Webber lately. Maybe that's the problem.  ------------- Never leave footprints behind. Fred & Maria Kearney Sonoma 167RB Our Pod 172 2019 Ford F-150 4x4 2.7 EcoBoost |

Sounds like a browser malfunction. Try a different browser and/or clear your cache.
Trying it here, and it's working correctly. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

No, I use the old google via safari, it doesn't seem to be as intrusive as Chrome, which makes me feel like they're trying to set up a camera in my bedroom. I have a macbook so the control/shift/backspace really doesn't do anything, at least that I can see. My low tech solution is to copy the post into word if I need to make any significant changes, then past it back into the forum when I'm ready.

Eeesh. I thought Macs were supposed to be easier. A few months ago I switched to a chromebook, and it makes operating a Mac look like rocket science. I never cottoned to Macs, we had a rough early introduction back in 1990 or thereabouts, and I never tried one again. I've been using PCs and Linux boxen ever since. The chromebook makes the day-to-day dirt simple, but gives me my Linux fix under the covers if I feel it's necessary. I think you should still be able to use Firefox on a Mac. and... there should still be a way to clear the cache in Safari. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |
