Removing several of those @ name mentions on a raffle is impossible - does anyone know how to remove them. You can't hilight them to delete them, delete key or backspace key doesn't work. How is it done?

Sadly this is a "quirk" of the piece of wonderful coding that is the Invision editor.  It seems to just be something that happens sometimes - I've never managed to resolve it save for just reloading the page and clearing the cached text - so if there's anything in there you DO want to keep, copy/paste it into notepad or something first.

It happens sometimes when you insert hyperlinks as well and is absolutely maddening.

I can never delete smiley faces etc, presumably for the same reason

Is therr a fault in the non-motoring sub-forum? Handful of threads are constantly auto refreshing on both my phone and MacBook irrespective of browser.

Forgotten Music and Computershite threads have done this for past few hours.

Just wondering if it’s the huge number of links and photos in them but computershite was fine yesterday.

I've just seen this. Are you or anyone else still having issues with this? 

Not had it myself so a bit trickier to diagnose unless there was a way to repeat.

I haven’t had another look at Forgotten Music but Computershite is back to normal.

Might just be my laptop but tonight there seems to be a glitch in the matrix where if I reply to a thread it says 'saving' for ages and only posts my comment when I hit the browser refresh button.

Can’t access “my activity” either.

Is it working now? Testing...


Edit: Aye, someone's put 50p in the meter and we're all good.

...The fscking editor eating your whole post bug is indeed still alive and well I can report.  It just got me again.

Some of my threads seem to have disappeared from my own "Content I've started" which is a bit weird. As it's probably going to be happening for others on their own threads too, I've kicked off a search index rebuild. Usually it takes a couple of hours.

So if you find search a bit temperamental and not finding everything today that's going to be why.
