Editing

[AvonGirl]

I'm having a problem editing. It's bringing the text up in something like HTML code. For instance I do a league table on excel which I copy and paste. When I go to edit the post it's just a string of codes, no table. Didn't dare try pasting the new version on top of it. But the simple text is coded as well eg. [b] for bold and symbols for smilies.

The system also keeps logging me out. It's mostly OK when I'm just browsing, but I've tried to send a PM twice and when I submit it tells me I'm not logged in, when I definitely was (and loses what I've written when I log back in). Also been logging me out after each time I've tried an edit.

Sorry, two queries in one, but I'm not sure if they're connected.

My end or yours do you think?

If it's mine, I'm betting it's connected with setting up my blog this weekend (thanks Paul!)

Sounds like a cookies and temporary internet files problem to me Avon.

If you delete both of those, things should be ok again.

Thanks Paul. Done that, and ran the virus scan and spyware for good measure too (nothing found), but it's still happening. I'll try on the other PC when I get chance to make sure it's my PC rather than something in my profile.

What I have found out, is that if I switch to 'go advanced' edit it's OK. So I'll be able to cope with it that way anyway. It still logs me out between the two though.

Not knowingly, but if I've clicked Ok to accept an update I might have. I tried on Duncan's PC today though and still get the same problems, and he says he's not got IE7 on there.

Next test is to get him to do an edit and see if it happens then.
