HTML Tags Malfunction

I can’t post if I can’t edit, and I can’t edit if I have to keep cleaning up HTML tags every time I do. The quote tag doesn’t work, and every time I edit it adds another paragraph break. It’s super annoying and I wish it would cut it out. It’s difficult enough to type on a phone when every key stroke literally hits 2 different keys. It’s beyond difficult if I can’t go back in and easily edit the spellings.

@austinmshauri you should say what platform you are using - phone, tablet, which desktop browser and operating system. I don’t have those issues so that info is probably relevant.

Editing to make sure :smiley:

Oh, thanks @OHMomof2. I’m on an iPhone. Idk which ios version though.

That will help them troubleshoot. @CCadmin_Sorin can maybe report it.

@OHMomof2, thanks for tagging Sorin.

It really helps if users tag him to make sure he sees the post.

I get this now also when editing a post. Windows 7/Chrome latest version.

It inserts a bunch of BR tags (
) which double spaces the post.

@OHMomof2, is this the same issue as the one reported by @lookingforward here?

How can we replicate this? Can you list the exact steps you take to get to this? Thanks!

Let me try one here. It added breaks when I edited, basically.

something
another thing
a third thing

A paragraph…IMO one of the most important things is to make sure the classes are transferable and will actually satisfy curriculum requirements.

It is not happening today.

It’s happened to me at least twice today on my iPhone iOS 9.3.5.

I’m now having the issue with the mobile site on my Android phone.

I just had the issue. First time I’ve tried quotes in a while. They didn’t work like they used to, and there were all these HTML tags when I went to edit it. IPhone 6 with iOS 10.3.2.

@CCadmin_Sorin - Went to edit this morning (no quotes, just editing) and the HTML line break tags showed up, AND it added some in that weren’t in the original post. So when I saved my edit after changing one letter of one word, it had extra line returns in the post (added between paragraphs).

Yup. And add to that, on my phone, italics havent worked consistently for a couple of days.

^see? On my laptop, it’s fine.

@CCadmin_Sorin : I tried to edit the OP on the following thread doing a cut and paste from user’s post #2. As you can see, it did not work in the original post. So at least in this case, the issues are related to the original posting, but responses are fine.

Guys, I’ve created a ticket for the tech team to look into the issue. I’ll keep you posted.

@skieurope, yes that’s indeed very view. The OP looks differently when I go and edit it. I’ve also signaled this issue (not sure if it’s the same root cause though, we’ll see). Thanks!

Just to confirm that we believe that this issue is now fixed. Please let me know if you guys continue to experiencing any formatting problems. Thanks!

Hasn’t seemed to happen in a day or two.

Thx
