Description of problem

Hello.

I'm having problem with BBCode for table when i'm going to edit a list. In Editor Mode the BBCode for table is different now than what's used to be before. It's hard for me to explain it cuz i'm not coder but i will show and example.

Here is the list of players that i made in BBCode in table. This is what i'm used to it all the time and i know how to edit it without any problem.

And now when i'm going to edit a list like adding a new player, the BBCode is different than in the the first one i showed you.

Also when i click Editor Mode off/on, between the word "Roster" and the table is making a huge blank space with no reason and even if i remove it and then again click the Editor Mode it's still doing that.

What i want is to be able to edit and make table in BBCode just like in first example i showed on forum.
I hope you are able to help me.

Regards,
Jakovec12

Switching modes (WYSIWYG and source) does add spaces. Also it causes issues when you post in one mode and edit in another mode. You need to edit and post in the same mode.

But i never had that problem before with the first method i was using/editing for making tables for so long. Today i noticed that for every table the BBCode is different when i m going to edit a table.

Before:
[tr][td]uW#M00T`[/td]

After:
[tr style=][td]uW#M00T`[/td]

This "tr style=" was never there before for posting or editing the table. Now even if i use the first method and post it, when i'm going to edit it's not the same BBCode i used.

It should been there when you have more than one row and column.

by Jakovec12 January 26th 2018, 9:07 pm

No it wasn't. I was always using like that for posting and editing without having any automatic change (until i noticed today).
BBCode:

Code:: [table style="text-align: center; width: 1231px;" border="2"] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [/table]

Text 1	Text 2	Text 3
Text 1	Text 2	Text 3
Text 1	Text 2	Text 3

Are you copying and pasting this table in a post?

by Jakovec12 January 26th 2018, 9:31 pm

I turn ON Editor Mode and copy/paste the BBCode table then i just switch Editor Mode OFF to see the result of table.

by **SLGray** January 26th 2018, 10:01 pm

Do not switch modes, use the preview button.

by Jakovec12 January 27th 2018, 12:25 am

Even if i preview and not switching mode, my BBCode is still changing.

I just used Internet Explorer and i don't have that kind of issue while with Google Chrome i have. It might be something problem with Chrome browser and i'm not sure what. I cleaned cookies and cache but no help.

It does seem to be a browser issue because I tested your table on my forum, and it worked fine. I use Firefox.

My table works yeah but when i'm going to edit that BBCode i made for table it becomes different then the original one. I'm not sure if you know what i m talking about.

I put this BBCode for table in forum and send it:

Code:: [table style="text-align: center; width: 200px;" border="2"] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [/table]

Normally that BBCode shouldn't change but when i'm going to edit it the BBCode is not same like the above, it becomes like this then:

Code:: [table style="text-align: center; width: 200px;" border="2"] [tr style=][td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr style=][td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [tr style=][td]Text 1[/td] [td]Text 2[/td] [td]Text 3[/td] [/tr] [/table]

I don't have that problem using Internet Explorer and i didn't had it before in Google Chrome as well until now.

Sorry for late reply.

I understand, but it does not happen to me on my forum when I used your table. I use Firefox.

Is your Chrome up to date?

by Jakovec12 January 27th 2018, 9:10 pm

Yes it's up to date (Version 64.0.3282.119). I even tried using incognito mode, no help.

by **SLGray** January 27th 2018, 9:14 pm

Are you using a mobile device?

by **Ape** January 27th 2018, 9:43 pm

Well i just noticed yesterday and still nothing changed. It's only happening on Chrome, not on Internet Explorer.

Have you tried cleaning your cache and cookies? To clear cache press Ctrl + F5 on your webpage.

by Jakovec12 January 28th 2018, 4:28 pm

Yes i did cleaned. I now reinstalled Chrome to see if there will be any change but still having that problem.

by **Ape** January 28th 2018, 7:23 pm

Chrome dose have little bug on our system but I use firefox and had the same problem but as I have said it went away.

Sadly this looks like a browser problem and we can't really do much about this.

Lets see if we have other members having the same problem if we do then we will report it to our tech team.
