Today is Mon 8th July 2013 (in my region of the world, yes still). The openSUSE Conference in Thessaloniki started today. But these forums seem to have changed on just that day, where probaly many who otherwise are responsible for e.g. the forums will have been gone to Thessaloniki as well. I don’t get a ‘Go Advanced’ button on the web frontend of the forums anymore when editing a new post. In the new post, hard line breaks (or more precisely ANY line breaks) are eliminated on posting. WHO changed this in the absence of the ones that are usually responsible but may have been gone to Thessaloniki ??
NNTP users, hang tight, moving this to the forum information forum.

Thread moved from install-boot-login; move is now complete.
Jim
And now to answer your question.
Nobody changed the rules. The editor now seems to open in advanced mode automatically.
None of the staff are, to my knowledge, in Greece at the openSUSE conference. Not sure where you got information that we were there.
And to my knowledge, line breaks have always been removed if you entered just one - I double-space my replies in the web interface (on the rare occasions - like this one - that I use it), but single-spaced stuff that’s not in code tags, to my knowledge, has always re-wrapped.
Single

Double

just like that (we’ll see what it does).

But just to be clear, none of the staff here other than our technical
administrator (kgroneman) have any degree of physical or remote access to
the systems that run the forums anyways. So even if we were all at the
conference, the technical guys who manage the systems wouldn’t be.

Hi Jim, still I don’t have a ‘Go Advanced’ button, but I’m quite sure that I’m not in advanced mode, because I still don’t have a choice to click for italian or bold style text, or code style (resulting in code tags in the output). I never experienced that before on these forums. Can the cause be the new version of Thunderbird that I use under 12.3 (version of Firefox now is 22.0) ? I’ve placed at least 4 double line breaks in this reply (and a few single line breaks), so let’s see what the proceeded posting looks like. Thank you Mike
I don’t see “Goo Advanced” either. However, I am in advanced mode by default. I think that’s a profile setting.
I’m not understanding that at all. As far as I know, Thunderbird is for email and nntp. You don’t seem to be using nntp (based on your message formatting). So what does Thunderbird have to do with your posting?
How are you accessing the forum? I am using firefox 22.0 at present. Are you blocking javascript? (I use “noscript” but I whitelist “opensuse.org”, “suse.com”, “novell.com” and “attachmategroup.com”.
Sorry, I meant Firefox instead of Thunderbird… It’s Mozilla anyway Yes, I use NoScript too. Let’s see: Currently, i.e. under 12.3 (or Firefox 22.0) NoScript only gives me the choice to allow or to block opensuse.org, but no other sites. Under openSUSE 12.1 I used NoSript as well, but everything worked fine then (I still can boot 12.1, because I now have a triple boot, win7, 12.1, 12.3) Thanks Mike
Just booted good old openSUSE 12.1, Here it’s Firefox 20.0 (instead of 22.0). Here I see the buttons for bold, italic, code, … Probably the linebreaks work as well, I guess, which will turn out in a moment NoScript gives me more choices here … Oooops - no longer. That just changed a few seconds ago! Now I have NoScript 2.6.6.7 - can that be the problem ?
Further try (still running from openSUSE 12.1 / Firefox 20.0):
Did tell NoScript to generally allow scripts (disabling NoScript).
I have the buttons for bold and italic style etc. again.
Let’s see if there are hard line breaks in this post.
At least my preview tells me so
I apologize.
The cause seems to have been an update of NoSript, instead of the guys & dolls working for openSUSE forums !
Mike
I am using noscript-2.6.6.7 and not having any problem. I am allowing “opensuse.org” and not allowing “google-analytics.com”. Nothing else shows up in the noscript allow/disallow selections.
The other extensions that I use are flashblock-1.5.17, secure-login-1.0.3 and Opensuse-Firefox-Extensions-1.0.3.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Noscript 2.6.6.7 here.
In the Advanced editor (where I and everybody go(es) by default and I know that is so because we wanted the # button voor CODE tags to be readily available), I see (and allowed) in Noscript: opensuse.org and suse.com
Now, in NoScript, I disabled again, to generally allow scripting. Again no choices for italic or bold style on the forum. (edit: forgot sth.)

Start by disabling all plugins. If a plugin is interfering with the
forums working properly, that’s not really something we can address.

NoScript is my only Firefox plugin. But perhaps I have a similar problem as that reported in NoScript forum - some pages not showing up; can’t whitelist . Nasty thing. Are there older versions of NoScript available on the net? Thanks Mike
Hmpf.
Seems that opensuse.org got disabled in NoScript somehow
(as well in my old install of openSUSE 12.1 that I still can boot).
Have I been too tired to see?
Fixed that.
Now editing the post looks better again!
And in the preview of this post the hard line breaks are back again.
Thanks to all
Mike
You are welcome and nice that you solved it.
Maybe next time you can start a thread with bare technical facts instead of throwing all sorts of suspicions to innocent people
It seems that way.
Oh, you opened your eyes.
Yes, it does look better with eyes open.
I’m just having a bit of fun with your wording.
Don’t feel too badly about this. It is easy to get into a phase where every time that you look, you see what you believe to be there rather than what is really there. So you keep missing the problem. I’ve had that happen to me. I often see it happen to my students.
