Well spotted, we'll get that sorted :)

(bumped because the thread was missing for a while!)

Hopefully these issues are fixed now, there was an issue that we've hopefully identified as having caused this intermittent problem. So apologies for that, I would like to hear if you encounter further issues.

There was a change John, it shouldn't apply to those logged in, but I think it has unfortunately. I will look into it John, and let you know. Were you logged in? If everyone followed those advocating the other route there would be no site.

Space is a character (ASCII 32). In this case the underlying software is removing empty tags, as it considers a lone space as 'empty'. There are many cases where empty tags are left in a post and so they are cleaned out.

No problem :) Regarding usernames, when we delete user accounts we are now routinely renaming their username at the same time. This functionality we hope to have built into the user cancellation mechanism in due course as well.

To date, on the rare occasion that requests have been made to remove posts containing personal info we do indeed remove them, so as far as GDPR is coming into play that is something we have always done anyway. In terms of completely removing all posts, GDPR requires that users have a way to...

You'll be pleased to know that GDPR related bits and bobs are coming. It's something we have been working hard on in recent months. We are waiting on a few impending updates from some of our upstream providers before we're good to go.

Hi Pete, they have been a few issues this morning as a transistion to new hardware wasn't as smooth as we'd have liked!! Should be sorted now, apologies for that.

I have seen mention that it's hopefully been fixed in SwiftKey v6.7.8.25 released March 1st. If anyone could confirm, that'd be great.

While updating to v2 is on the radar, it will not be anytime soon. The core software acts as a base on which many other things are built. Due to the re-write of v2 these 'extras' are not compatible and need to be re-coded and adapted to work. Some of these are in progress and it is a path we...

Sometimes when things are copied & pasted, extra characters come along for the ride (not necessarily visible). This is most probably what has happened in this case. Depending on browser you can right click and 'paste as plain text' or if you use the 'Use the BB code editor' button on the reply...

Is this happening after you have cut and pasted something into the post in question by any chance?

Can you try a forced refresh of the page e.g. Ctrl + F5 or similar? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache

No problem :)

The URL is incorrect and reporting 404 for me locally and I've just retried with a random test website: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/170829_GV_0e26cd052e5353f02df5896f273aed68/ Result 404

The end image is not a valid image. It gives 404 error not found as the end URL is incorrect presumably. Without the weserv.nl bit: http://www.ebassist.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif The https://images.weserv.nl/ part is used to serve non HTTPS images over HTTPS i.e. a proxy to maintain...

All reports made to the mods are looked at, if the report is valid and abusive posts have been made they are removed. I don't seem to have received any emails from you unless you email has changed, have you sent them to [email protected]?

Interesting, so to get this 100%, the alerts work (as in the ones shown on the RHS) but emails don't or both don't work? I know what you mean, you can get a full list here: https://www.diynot.com/diy/account/alerts, but it doesn't highlight them any differently but it does make the timings a...

Is it still not working @ban-all-sheds ? Maybe communication between your browser & the server was interrupted. If it still doesn't work, what happens when you click the 'More options' button and try to post that way? There is no 'admin'/permission reason why you can't post to that thread...
