    Help Please!

    I cannot get the soh app. to upload a picture file onto a new post or reply to a post....The little icon goes round and round and never uploads the file! :isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy::isadizzy: Does anyone know a solution? Also, the "enter" key does not end text after a period and the text (like I am writing now) goes on a long line and only at the end of the box goes to a next line. No way of writing short sentences, period... and another short sentence on the next line below???????? This just happened after Windows updated automatically....

    Sounds like a browser issue to me. Are you using Internet Explorer ??? That would indeed change with a OS system update and can have funny side effects.
    One reason why I don't like using it among many others.

    Cheers

    I have the same problem + I cannot enter returns into my text. This started when I received the Windows 7 IE10 update a few weeks ago. I am using Firefox now to do posts LOL:isadizzy:

    Gaucho, I've had similar when my new computer came with Internet Explorer 10. The only solution I found is to go to my user settings and change the type of editor.

    I've had to change from the WYSIWYG to the Standard editor. On the upside I can add spaces between my paragraphs and sentences. On the downside it doesn't allow me use of the emcons or uploading images. Since I use Photobucket for most images, its not a big deal, but it is a hassle.

    I should mention that I've notified Ickie, and he's aware of the issue, and that this occurs with only a couple of my active forums - which unfortunately includes SOH.

    If at first you don't succeed, try, try,try again. ... or go read the manual.

    I had the same problem with IE 10. I did a restore to a date just before the updated IE 10 was installed. This took me back to IE7. No problems now.
    I also went into my programs and unchecked auto update function. Now I have my computer set for: my translation: "Just let me know if there is an update available. I'll decided if I want to download and install it."

    Is this user editor in SOH or in IE?

    In this forum, select Settings > My Account > General Settings > Miscellaneous Options > Message Editor Interface:
    o Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing
    o Basic Editor - A simple text box
    o Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls

    Works for me, thank you WarHorse47 !

    And I also found a cure for the attachment upload problem:
    Same settings page, Enhanced Attachment Uploading must be off

    Your cure surely works... I am eternally grateful .... This is the file I was trying to upload...
    it is a new bmp for a B-45 Tornado bomber panel (1950s)...
    Darn Bill Gates and those updates that foul things and you a left hanging there without knowing what to do....

    One little question... the interface to upload has changed... how do I upload stuff I had already uploaded in the past... this interface does not show any thumbnails or whatever is already on file...

    To see/manage your previously uploaded attachments, go Settings > Miscellaneous > Attachments.
