silwritersguildETA: This bug has been resolved. If you continue to experience any problems, please comment here or contact the mods at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org. Read more about the fix here.
A mysterious bug has crawled out of the woodwork and is causing some problems on the SWG archive. My comods and I are working on getting the problem solved, but since it will involve either (or both!) the software creators and our webhost, it may be a few days before we get it fixed.
Here is the problem: When you open the story form to add a new story/chapter or edit an existing chapter, the form will not allow you to input text into the Story Notes, Chapter Notes, and Story Text fields, if you have the rich-text editor (TinyMCE) turned on.
This problem has been reported in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Chrome appears to be behaving normally.
Until we get the problem corrected, please use one of the following workarounds:
--Use Google Chrome to access the site when you need to add/edit stories.
--Shut off the rich-text editor (TinyMCE). You can do this via the Edit Preferences link on your account screen. Make sure the checkbox for "Use tinyMCE WYSWYG editor" is not checked.
You will need to add your story using HTML if you shut off the rich-text editor.
--Beneath each of the affected fields is the option to shut off the rich-text editor (TinyMCE) for that field alone. Uncheck that box, then tick it again. The field should work normally once you do this.
If you experience any problems aside from those that have been already reported, please let me know. If you have any questions regarding the above workarounds, don't hesitate to ask.
