Phoronix.com forums/VBulletin 5.6.4 : nothing is saved #121

Closed birdie-github closed 3 years ago

birdie-github commented 3 years ago

I'm using Firefox 87 for Linux and Form History Control doesn't save replies on this forum for some reasons.

I've temporarily switched back to Textarea Cache which works fine.

i made an account to test it and i can confirm that when replying to posts it doesn't save the contents. however it saved my registration info so i guess the "reply" text box is coded differently from other normal ones.

stephanmahieu commented 3 years ago

Testing also. Hmm, I do see the updates being recorded while typing this. So it is recorded, maybe it disappears when I hit the comment button.

In my case anything I type here is saved as type textarea.

Please make sure you have the Miscellaneous preference "Retain which type of field" set correctly for this to work. Multi-line must be enabled.

Everything is enabled.

birdie is talking about the phoronix forums, not github. i have set the preference as "single and multi line" and it doesn't keep the data. i even set it as multi line only and didn't help.

The phoronix forums uses the cke editor v5. This editor is also causing the same problems as mentioned in issue #103 No recovery of textbox - question2answer. I still have to find a workaround for this wysiwyg editor.

Duplicate of #103

stephanmahieu commented 3 years ago

Issue is fixed in release 2.5.6.1 (released April 11 18:30 CET).

This release will potentially fix similar (wysiwyg-)editors using dynamically loaded iframe(s).
