In progress Urgent..Can't edit Forums in admin room!

Post by ridgebrook Thu 25 Aug 2011 - 20:45

I seem to be unable to edit any of my forums in the admin room even though i am founder admin... I have tried resyncing them but the problem still persists... I can't use fonts, font colours or any of the tabs... Can anyone explain what could be wrong?? I haven't experienced this before...

Many thanks in advance..

Yes, it's fine now. What seems to be the problem exactly? Is the admin panel not working for you?

Admin panel seems ok its just when i went to edit a forum....
I went to edit one of the forums in the admin panel in general >catagories and forums but i can't use any of the tabs in the edit window.. Like i tried to use the font colour tab and it wont open... The fonts tab is the same too.. I tried resync but the problem is still there... I can't seem to be able to use any of the tabs in any of my forums in the Catagories and forums....
I hope this makes sense......

Tabs in the forums? I'm still not completely sure what you're talking about, do you have any screenshots you could show me? If not, would you be able to provide me with a test admin account on your forum?

Hi,

Can you please try another browser, for example, FireFox, or Google Chrome?

Sorry i don't know how to do screen shots but i will try and explain a bit better...
I go into my admin panel to edit my "General Gallery" forum (admin panel>General>Catagories and forums>General Gallery) I then click on the "modify" icon to open the forum for editing.. In the "Discription" window where i have typed a discripsion for the forum i can type into the window but cannot use any of the tabs/buttons that appear above the window as in "Font" to change font style, "sizes" to change font size, the "A" to change font colour, the cut and copy/paste ones...I have only used these as an explination as none of them will work... I hope i have explained a bit better for you as i am not very up on computer language and what things are called....

Darren1 thank you for replying... As i am not very good with computers i would like to keep things as they are if at all possible and keep to the same browser....

To take a screenshot, press PrintSCRN on the top right of your keyboard. Next, open MS Paint and paste whatever you have onto there. Your image should then appear. Next, save it and then get a Photobucket account. Upload the image to Photobucket. Paste the link to the uploaded image here.

It works on any type of picture editing program. Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.NET, etc. You mean to say you have none of these? You can very easily download MS Paint or whatever is used for Macs if that's what you use.

Ah, I understand what you're talking about now. I assume that you've clicked on the 'HTML' button in the description section of your forum settings. If so, then that brings up another text editor.

When you click on the icons, they should work as if they were in the WYSIWYG editor. In other words, you won't see any tags. For example, if you clicked on the Bold icon then whatever you type would appear as bold.

If you're still having problems, try using a different browser.

OK i have tried firefox to edit with.... It does edit what i want but is not very easy for me to use and is very slow. It also messed up my computer..In a word i don't like it.

Yes i have clicked the HTML button.

What i don't understand is the fact that until 4 days ago i could edit things in the Admin Panel very easily while using MSN as my browser with no problems then suddenly i can't... I did experience trouble logging on to the forum at this time as did my members and was getting a "Maintanence in Progress" window. Could this have something to do with my problem?

I have been through the Admin Panel trying to edit other areas such as the portal and find i cannot edit them either...Also the text boxes on the main forum have changed in appearance... I cannot change the appearance of these so has there been some changes made by the forumotion staff??

Could this also be the reason i cannot take snapshots of the page??

Just to clarify a bit more... If you put your curser over the buttons above the quick reply text window below they become highlighted with a red border and when you click on either the link button or smiley button a dropdown window opens. None of this happens in my admin panel...The buttons don't work.. The buttons above the quick reply text window below are what they should be like on my forum but they now appear in text form both in my AP and on the main forum...

I know we can't double post and must wait for post in between so i have added this to my last post so as not to get into trouble... I have just found this thread https://help.forumotion.com/t95585-is-it-all-solved-now-then and it seems that there was a server issue at the time i started having problems in the AP and that there are still some bugs in the system being worked on on english forums...I will wait and see if my problems rectify themselves when the bugs are gone.. Thank you for your help..

My problems are still there and now i can't even save any text changes.. When i try to type a new discription in the text boxes for the forums in the AP and click save the old text is still there, the new text has not been saved...

Please have a look. My forum is babs.forumotion.com.

Thank you..
