When I tried posting this post, it ate everything after my code block when I posted it. I had to make several edits to get the stuff back in after the code block.

When I tried posting this post, everything after the last code block was eaten and I had to edit it to get that stuff after the last code block back in (luckily I was prepared for this and had copied my post before I hit the "Post" button).

Honestly, we (and apparently others using the same forum software) have so many problems with this crappy editor it's ridiculous. I wish we had something like StackOverflow. Their editor provides minimal functionality but everything you need. No WYSIWYG editor (but it gives you a live preview, which is, IMO better), no crappy list of fonts (seriously? Comic Sans?), etc. Their editor is lean, quick, and stable.

We don't have to use the same markup as SO, but honestly, this editor is pure crap. Adding features isn't what makes a good editor. Stability and robustness is what makes it a good editor.

Please? Anyone? This keeps happening. If I post a code block but write text below my code block, it disappears and I have to re-edit to replace the text back in after the code block.

I'm having a Teal'c moment here. "I do not understand." Why is the editor eating up my < ul > tags?! Why?! I saved it 5 times and every time it ate up the tags! What manner of sorcery is this?

And why doesn't the < p > tags cause a space between paragraphs? I don't have to actually put a < br > inbetween them do I?

[edit] how fitting... In a thread about half-missing posts, my complaint gets double posted!
