Formatting Screwed Up

I'd like to know please why so much of the BB formatting is screwed up on my blog all of sudden, and when the problem will be fixed.

Thank you.

+1000!!!
It's affecting forum posts also, everything, even signatures.

Common Opera! Confirm this! Do something! I wanted to write something today...
I see my posts that doesn't have br tags miss line breaks too! I'm seriously worried about having to edit all the posts to fix this!

Example? I haven't noticed anything yet ...

Edit: Perhaps related to the image tags? There was a post ... hmm, maybe a week or 10 days ago now, about issues a user was having with a post that contained an image. It was discovered that if he included a close image tag [/img] after the image then the problem went away.

Okay, found rafaelluik's example:

Yep, and just look at my signature and posts on my blog.

Well if it's examples they want just go to my Main page for pete's sake. I mean, BB code 'hanging', lines not breaking, stuff that should be LEFT now CENTER, etc etc etc.

It was not that way early this morning (UTC -8). So it had to be some change that was made since then.

I was getting ready to release a new Post a while ago.
I formatted it, proofread it and had it all ready to launch.
I go to test it by publishing it while in Private Access mode.
It comes out as one giant block of text.
No Paragraph Breaks.

I then went to tell one of my friends in her Blog that my Post would likely NOT be released right now.
Well, the multiple paragraphs in THAT comment also came out as one solid block of text.

My Opera as a blogging platform should be more stable. Imagine visitors on blogs right now seeing this mess.
Also it's my one and only blog and I actually put the URL on my curriculum vitae (imagine when they look the posts, they might think it's my fault everything is messed up)!

OMG! Why are you need to ruin whats work fine? Most of my blog's posts now just ruined! Every tag pop up like a crazy and most annoying moment is - part of my texts just disappear and all i can see now is "Max nested elements reached" - example - look at last paragraph. It's a bug or it's permanent "update"? I need to know it to decide what to do next.

If my stats hold true, then approximately 700 to 1000 people who have visited my blog since yesterday morning have already seen "this mess."

Hi guys, sorry for the problems, the parser has undergone a long-due refactoring, and ended up having some boogs, could you check if things are working better for you now?

FYI: Using block element HTML tags like p,br,div,table will trigger not converting linefeeds automatically to <br/> tags. This is to accomodate everyone using HTML to present their content.

Right... Where's my SUP text now?

Align BBcode tags seem producing artefacts
See my blog top sticky post for example. Align center for the top two lines seems to generate oddly placed [ /font ] [ /align ]tag appearing at the next line break.

Not totally happy with no markup in About page. Can we at least have line breaks and basic font markups like bold, italic and underline?

PS
Actually Align=center doesn't work at all here, even there's a button for it in "Edit Post" page.

PPS
Align is totally broken. See example: http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=1088202&t=1318451535&page=1#comment10523852

BBCode does not work at all on About pages. See examples here:

http://my.opera.com/shootell/about/
http://my.opera.com/serola/about/

No idea where the extra "close align" tags inside your code block came from - they aren't in your post ...

This is rather urgent and important! It especially affects seriously on groups where rules are listed on About page description field (e.g. 365 Photos and Shoot & Tell)

I think not allowing HTM in About is intentional. See this comment by nicomen.

We decided to not allow markup in the about field, just like fullname, work etc...

He didn't say but I assumed the main purpose of the change is to deter spammers. That's why I asked specifically about basic font markups.

Ghost in the machine!!

EDIT: But thank you very much MM for pointing that out for me

So, how to use now tag ALIGN properly, without pop-ups?

Well my [/ALIGN are hanging at the bottom. And numerous other issues, such as [ALIGN=center not working all the time. Just go to my blog and you will see what I mean. You know, except for my top two sticky posts, which are kind of a mess because they had to be done patchwork after yet another Opera change a few years ago, I write very simple code really. If it is screwing up for what I do...then...I'm just sayin...

They are, click "quote" (not the quick quote). Some more aligns for your pleasure: http://my.opera.com/LorenzoCelsi/blog/2011/08/10/weekend-trip-to-aprica

No, Rafael. Steve was referring to this.

Me too. It's there.

I don't have to click Quote, as a mod I can click Edit to see everything (including whispers, etc.). Obviously the OP can also, as you see in that thread she posted a screenshot to prove it. There is only one [/align] per line, anywhere in that post, there are no lines that have two of them.

Possibly the parser doesn't like using ALIGN on a partial line, and it wouldn't have the same problem if the tag and its close were on separate lines (or something like that). If Quote is messing up the original (beyond hiding whispers from people they aren't intended for, of course) then that's another complication ...

hello
it's the same for me and other , but a member tell me used html code
with my editor HTML I rewrite somes pages and <span etc
it's better and ok now

I have tried to recode my first TOC post

http://my.opera.com/edwardpiercy/blog/p-m-p-i-contents-and-updates

to streamline everything, and I still end up with a /align coming from somewhere -- look at my post text and you tell me where that could possibly be coming from.

I can do this on one post or perhaps several. But what am I supposed to do -- go back and check 1600+ posts?

No sense of history, of continuity. Everything should just be put back the way it was last week -- status quo ante bellum.

And that's really all I am going to say on this matter.

I can't look at blog posts, only forum posts - I'm a moderator not an admin. Good that you got it down to 1 with that mixed alignment throughout though ...

Well, that's exactly the problem. So, it's confirmed...

Don't worry, there's no need to edit every post because when they fix it everything will back to normal.

Sorry guys, working on this issue.

Slightly related some of the fixes depend on this to be fixed, which I have provided a patch for. So we will see if it works out!

Ok, thx... Don't forget the SUP text.

Related to the align issue, here's a close font tag which isn't in the user's original post:

http://my.opera.com/community/forums/findpost.pl?id=10542942

Fixed the align and font issue in our code. Where's the SUP issue?

Here: ^Hi
Click quote.

In my blog I use it a lot for citing references and explaining some things on my wish-list too.

Ah thanks, that was embarassing, fixed and added extra tests.

I'm afraid I won't be sending out some new stuff today, but perhaps tomorrow (it's 3:15 AM). I apologize for the troubles this is causing.

Does that mean sub doesn't work also?

x₀

Yes, sub,sup,em,blockquote,ins and del. But not yet on the live site.

Not happy Jan (Australian catch phrase when one is not happy)
I centre align all my pictures on my blog and I have a [/align] line under some photos and not others.

Looks rather stupid.

It doesn't seem to be fixed....

The fixes are still not live yet

Should be working now

You forgot imgcenter, imgleft and imgright.

[/IMG]
[/IMG]

EDIT: Correction... It's just that the end tag does not work with imgcenter, imgleft and imright.

Helps if you use the correct end tag - the tags have to match.

OK, thanks. Previously this worked:

[imgright=uri][/img]

Although this of course is more logical:

[imgright=uri][/imgright]

Now I just have to correct all those cases where I have used the previous...

What about button links?

Nope, that won't work - not certain about the %20, but I know the "=" doesn't belong there.

button links should work now too, also fixed list=1 and list=a

It seems align tags in forum posts are still not working. See examples below

Right

Hey, wait, there's one more thing.

Let me to explain:

When you post a URL and put a , or . or other characters just after it (without space), the characters are merged with the URL... breaking it. It isn't a new problem as it happens on all Websites out there. But for My Opera it used to have a workaround. If I put a "[./URL]" just between the URL and the character it used to allow me to "fix" the URL by interrupting the URL recognition before the character was merged.

Example:
Access http://www.opera.com, there you can download Opera. <- Broken URL.
Access http://www.opera.com[/URL], there you can download Opera. <- Fixed URL.

But now as you see My Opera is showing the [./URL] instead of just interrupting the URL recognition. Would you bring this functionality back?

Seems no longer the case at http://my.opera.com. Intentional improvement or accidental functionality?

This is an improvement by using URI::Find instead of several years old hand-crufted not so good code.

Good but now it breaks all the previous links I posted using the workaround.

I'm sorry for that :-(

Ok... If there's no way to open an exception to the [./URL]... :/ It was most on blog comments anyway.
Congratulations on the new intelligent system.
