Forum Problems and your operating system

Boosibri

Paragraph breaks, constant error message (not simply once in a long while), significant devolution in quality.



Which OS are you using and lets see if there is a correlation to the OS of the user. I am on IOS and have no problems at home and Windows 7 enterprise also with no problems on 113 errors or paragraphs

Chose windows 8 by mistake. Should be windows 7. Line break problem, enter key has no affect on my post.

You need to add Mac OS X to your survey. No issues there in my experience.

No worries with Windows 7 and IE11 or Firefox.

I agree, this is a software issue

For those of you reporting "no problems," are you able to send photos in your private messages????



There are more problems since the "upgrade" than just the paragraph spacing issue.



How about having no scroll bar at the bottom of many of the pages on this site when you make your browser window small?? This is mostly a problem for me when viewing the list of private messages where I can't get to the right side of the page unless I resize the view on my browser from 100% down to 75% or so... unacceptable to not have a scroll bar at the bottom.







I'm using Windows 8.1 and IE 11 for those who think that matters.

I wrote on these issues before since I interacted with John on this topic (he is one of their tech guys).



- The reason some of you are having spacing issues is your profile was reset back to raw HTML, and if you recall when they removed the ability for you to choose your profile options, you can now no longer change it to WYSIWIG.



- Those who were fortunate enough to have had WYSIWIG enabled prior to PCGS turning off the option to change this feature, you guys should have no problems with spacing.



The above problems have a lot to do with your 113 errors because some profiles allow HTML to be used and some don't hence resulting in 113 error. I had them myself and realized what was going on, I haven't had one since.



My profile was changed to WYSIWIG by John on the backend so I no longer have spacing issues nor 113 issues (remember, you can't type HTML in WYSIWIG profile, by and large).



The problem with the WYSIWIG profile is that it has a bug and when you embed and image that is hosted on an secure server (e.g. https instead of http), it thinks that the https header is a link and doesn't render it as an image even though you use IMG tags.



Net-net, I can explain why/who has the problem they are having largely as a factor of whether or not they are WYSIWIG or HTML on the backend.



However, knowing the problem isn't helping since PCGS isn't fixing any of them...not in the last couple months anyway.



PS. This is why I hardly post here/images anymore. I use Dropbox and they use secure https connections, and I am not changing my entire system. Sad, really...but it is PCGS business/decision and I totally respect that.



PPS. Those that voted No Problems are not looking at everything, there are things that don't work regardless...PM image posting, https headers in images, etc...

Your survey is useless. I can only pick one choice.



I get no automatic line breaks. I deal with html all the time, so wysiwyg failures aren't that big of a deal to me.



I don't get a preview post. That to me, is a problem.



This happens on two i7 desktops using the most current versions of firefox and IE, one running win7 home premium and the other win7 pro.



Also happens on my i5 laptop on firefox and IE running win7 home.



Also happens on my atom tablet running win10 using Edge.



I am begging to suspect that this is not a software problem, but a profile problem.



To those of you who log in from multiple platforms, is your experience consistant? IOW, do you see the same problems from no matter where you log in from?

BackroadJunkie

Is there anyone here who can preview a post, and knows how to pull up the source on the reply page?



Here's what I get at lines 1056-1061:

< input type="submit" value="Reply to Topic" class="ftformbutton" >




< input type="hidden" name="FTVAR_MSGRAWCODEFRM" value="">



< input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="self.close();" class="ftformbutton">

It's right in there that the "preview post" button should reside, but doesn't. What does it look if you can preview post?

No major problems on Windows Vista and No problems on iOS devices.

On Windows Vista I use Chrome primarily.



Certain special characters will cause the 113 error. Like if you copy something from the web and paste it in and the single quote is at a funky slant or the hyphen is different etc... You have to backspace over those and replace them with normal ones and then you can avoid the 113 errors in my experience.



Edit: No One Can PM images...including me.

Bochiman

That poll doesn't work well for some of us.



I use different units to access the forums. I can only vote once.



For instance, I use Win7/IE11 and don't have problems.

I use Win10 and Microsoft Edge and don't have problems.

I've also used Win7 and earlier IE versions with no problem.

You deserve a prize!



You are, in all seriousness, the ONLY person I know who is still running Vista. I know people running XP, and people running Win7 and later, but most either didn't go to Vista or got off of it as soon as they could.

See above, I edited my message.

Still unable to place images in PM's. Win 7.

I don't have most of the issues that some have and I'm on Win7 with the latest IE, Chrome or FF. still can't send a pic via PM.



So what would it hurt for PCGS to turn WYSIWYG back on for a couple days so some folks can get some relief?

How can you post a message and not have your paragraphs run together?
