dave47 6,457 Posted January 16, 2019 Hi, Gang! I'm just searching for some ideas about the problems I've been having with the RWG website: I post wristies to RWG after I've posted on other rep watch sites and sometimes on WUS. When I open the RWG site and go to the wristies and try to post my wristie, it doesn't take at all. After I click on "PASTE," it comes up blank & have to manually reenter the information and pics. This has been an on-going problem for me. Any ideas, folks? Thanks. dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glaude 1,615 Posted January 16, 2019 As we discussed in PM, I'm unable to reproduce this issue. Plus over the time I've been here, you've been able to post a lot of writers so I'm wondering, is this a recent issue or is it going for longer than say, one year ? There's been little to no significant upgrade to the forum that could have been related to that situation in this time. Could you describe step by step, your methodology of posting a wrisite ?

Glaude 1,615 Posted January 16, 2019 @BADAPPLE What exactly are you doing when this happens ? Are you for example taking the content of a post from RWI, hit Copy then on RWG, open a post and hit Paste and it's blank ? If so, are you coping the content of the post in the edit mod (while you are typing it) or are you copying the content of it after it was posted ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just tried to do that with the recent wristie from Dave over at RWI, it copied the text in an instant, then just a couple of second after, the pics loaded in the post. If you don't let the picture load (can vary in duration) and hit Submit reply before, then the post will indeed be blank if it was only composed by pictures, or just with the text Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,859 Posted January 16, 2019 Guys remember that last year the way the site Handles embedding media was updated. It now automatically takes direct url’s And converts them to image previews when pasted. Sometimes when the process is slow, the post will look blank. If you wait the media will appear. If you post before it has processed it. It will stay blank. If using picr.me bulk image copy paste it may paste the urls as h**tp://...1.jpg h**tp://...2.jpg h**tp://...3.jpg and not automatically convert the images. In this case simply click the cursor to after the g in jpg and click enter. It will then process the url to image preview. Also note photobucket causes glitches with both RWG and RWI and is not considered forum friendly. Use picr.me. In the event you copy from RWI across to RWG if it’s not a plain text paste then it will bring across formatting, this may cause an issue with it’s ability to create the image preview from the block of text copied. If you are not sure my advice is to only use individual direct image urls and not copy full blocks of texts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dave47 6,457 Posted January 18, 2019 Hey, Gang! THANKS for the very entertaining feedback; laughed my ass off; now I have to find a way to reattachment it to my bod! heh! Seriously, this has been going on for a few weeks on RWG. I've used my standard methodology for about ten (10) years with little or no problems, so it's been fairly recent. (copying the original post, then pasting it on other sites.)That said, I will employ some of your suggestions to see what happens. In the meantime, has anyone seen my ass?? I seem to have lost it!
