Title: Problems with the Profile wikia
Post by: Rusaku on August 23, 2015, 11:10:45 PM
Hey, I'm not sure if anyone else is getting this problem or if it's just me.

When I go to rectify a page, the loading box appears, but will never actally load. The animation just runs for hours, even days. It seems no matter how long it sits, the editor will never load. I can still use the classic editor, but that also seems to be bugged in certain aspects. Such as not allowing me to edit the members in my clan page, or any clan page really. I have gone around doing some test edits to other pages just to see if I can edit the information, and I cannot.

If anyone has also run into this and found an answer I would love to hear it. This has been going on for freaking months now and I am sick of it.

Yeah. I hate that thing. Ever since some wikia update month ago its been like that. The classic editor is the only one I can use. I use Goggle Chrome. And windows 7. hated 8, am annoyed by the pop ups for 10 and wish they would just leave me alone to use what I have learned for once without changing stuff all the time.

Purpose of browser/system rant was...maybe it only happens on certain ones?

An operating system wouldn't interfere with how a page loads in that fashion.

It's like that on Chrome. To bypass it just use Internet Explorer.

Or try the bunch of other browsers: safari; opera; seamonkey; tor; firefox.

I've tried Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft's Edge. None work with this new glorified/bloated editor. Instead, click the down arrow in the edit box and use the classic editor.

Also, I've been getting some errors when creating a character, jutsu or kekkei genkai page with the form creator. Most notably, the inability to see the page as a preview before publishing it. Instead, I've resorted to simply doing all that I can to create the page and publish it first. Then I make an edit to the page in source mode to add the rest.

I hadn't thought to ask anyone, but has anyone contacted the site owner/manager/editor/whoever handles technical issues like this? I imagine whoever is in that position would be able to better help resolve the issue, since I doubt anyone for this site is going to know how to do tweaks to the wikia.

It's basically Wikia pushing new fancier forms of editing. Interestingly enough, the new editor that we're having problems with works just fine on Narutopedia. So it probably has something to do with just our wiki.

I find that choosing the classic editor is only available after the page has been created. When creating a new page, however, it auto launches the new function and glitches me up.

I remember when the new editor worked. It was like a year ago for me...legit, it was so nice. Ever since a year ago, I have to resort to using the classic editor. If Yumei was active, perhaps he could fix it? Perhaps it's a CSS issue, then again, I don't know shit about html.

I have found that when I create a new page, the new editor pops up and glitches...that if I edit the URL to the end of the name of the page and hit enter...this publishes the page then I can get back into it through the rectify button and choose the classic one to continue the creation process.
