Archive Bug (TinyMCE) Resolved
I posted two weeks ago about a bug that suddenly appeared on the archive that seemed to affect Firefox users who were using the rich-text editor. This bug didn't allow you to enter text into some of the fields, including the Story field. (The original bug report can be read here.)
SWG moderators Russandol and Rhapsody have been working hard in the meantime to figure out how to correct this problem. Lo and behold, the latest Firefox upgrade to version 12 seems to have solved the problem!
If this problem affected you, please upgrade to version 12 of Firefox. You can do this by clicking on Help and choosing About Firefox. This will display the version you are currently running, will check for updated versions, and prompt you to run an update, if necessary.
I also checked the archive in Internet Explorer 7 this afternoon and didn't have any problems, nor have problems been reported with Chrome. Please be aware, if you use Internet Explorer 9, that there is a different problem with this browser that requires you to run it in compatibility mode in order for it to work with our archive software. (You can learn more about how to run IE 9 in compatibility mode here.)
At this point, we are considering this issue resolved. If you continue to have any problems with the archive, please report them to me or one of the other site moderators. I can always be reached by leaving a comment on this post or via email at moderator@silmarillionwritersguild.org.
Many, many thanks again to Russandol and Rhapsody, who actually had a fix in place and were in the process of scheduling it when Firefox solved the problem for them.
