Although many have already noticed I wanted to open a thread here for the administration to see.
The edit functionality seems to be broken. When I click the edit button it just opens a blank window without a text area.

Here's a screenshot:

Edit: But I can still edit when I go to "More Options..."

Maybe this is because of the newest firefox update which I just updated yesterday?

Another problem is when you edit a post with [wc3][/wc3] tags, the formatting screws up and all the indentation is removed.

The workaround to fix this editing problem would be to switch to BB code editor, and then back to Rick Text editor. I've been doing this for over a year now, so I have lots of experiences with editing posts. :D

Just wanna let you guys know that I can now use the edit button again, but only some kind of weird HTML variation.

Maybe Accname has BB codes turned off or something for the parser. Unless that's just a one-time bug, I don't know. I just could no longer lap open my laptop to check this out.

That is caused by the JavaScript for the WYSIWYG editor not loading, for some reason. Either an error or your JavaScript is turned off. I doubt it's the latter, since the forum relies heavily on JS and you probably couldn't use many features if you did have JS turned off.

Now, the error could be seen in the developer console and that would help. However, WYSIWYG editors are pretty complex so I doubt anyone here could patch it up and it's most probably a bug that should be fixed in a newer version of the forum, or the editor, if it's 3rd party. TH, is the forum software up to date?

I am also interested if you guys only get that sometimes or all the time. If it's just some times, then the code must be doing some asynchronous stuff in a wrong way, so it tries to use some stuff before it's ready. If it's all the time, then I'm afraid it's because of the browser.

In Chrome I have never encountered this behaviour on TH.

This happens all the time. And yes, TH said a few updates are due soon.
This behaviour is present since the latest update of firefox.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
