New Topic Screen broken for anyone else?

[bishoposiris]

I can't submit a new topic. None of the formatting buttons work. The length and preview buttons aren't functioning either.

Submit your topic without formatting.

Once submitted, go back and EDIT it (e.g. to put code tags in). You should have more scope then.

Sadly, it's been like that for years :(
Probably won't be fixed soon. I just got used to typing the tags manually.

I know code tags are

<code>
<\code>

What's the code for output?

I can't submit a new topic.

Yes, you can. You just can't use any of the format buttons when creating a new topic.

This is not new, the code for it has been broken for years now.

The dysfunction gave me reason to learn and remember how to manually tag when creating a new topic.

Now even when adding a reply, the format buttons will work. When editing a previous post I sometimes use manual tags. Sometimes I use the format buttons.

FYI, this topic is more of a Lounge discussion, not General C++ Programming.

bishopsiris, test it out by editing your post like FurryGuy said.

It's [code], not <code>. Same thing for [output].

This forum uses BB Code, not HTML, for the tags.
