Forum:Wikia errors

Dear Support,

Two issues:

1) The Hyperlink button on the WYSIWYG wikia editor doesn't seem to be working any more. I noticed it first on 24th July 2012. It has not been working since. I assumed it was a glitch from the updating of wiki versions, but i'm still having problems with it.

Symptoms:

a) If you try and edit an existing hyperlink: if you place the cursor anywhere in the link then click the button both fields are empty.

b) If you highlight the whole link and click the hyperlink button both fiels are empty.

c) If you place the cursor inside the link or highlight the link then right click the link and select the context sensitive menu "Edit Link", both the fields are empty.

2) This evening 23.00 GMT 27/07/2012, I am trying to view my talk page and other users talk pages. When I scroll down just above the page footers that display other notable wikias "Around wikias network" I get a browser Script error which locks up my computer. I have recreated this error on several pages:

[User:Yimbocarimbo] and

[User_talk:Shumote88]

I am using Firefox 12.0 on a Windows 8 machine. The error message displayed:

Hope this helps you identify the issue.

Update:

I am now getting it on this page too! and

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Wikia_errors

It doesn't matter if I scroll with the mouse or keyboard, as soon as it gets to the footers

I can see up to where the Category links would be, but it sticks there and won't allow me to scroll further down!

Not having problems on other websites and have not updated any software on my computer in the last hour since I've been having these scrolling problems. Looks like you have some errant scripting on your footers.

 * First of all, please stop using WYSIWYG. It's messing up links you are posting.


 * I'm not getting the errors you describe. I also use Firefox 12.0. -- 00:02, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Icecreamkitten!
 * a) The links were messed up due to using the Source editor not the WYSIWYG editor, I made a mistake and that's because I am so used to using the links tool in the WYSIWYG editor which now no longer works!
 * b) are you the support person? and if so is this an official reply?

 * I'm not affiliated with wikia.


 * There does seem to be something strange going on on those talk pages. When I scroll down to the bottom, the scrolling freezes for a split second around the spotlights area. I don't get any error messages though. -- 01:32, July 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * It's the area where the scrolling "My Tools" bar docks just above the "Around Wikias Network" section.  I've got it scrolling upwards now aswell.  I managed to go to the end of the page then scrolled up; it sticks in the same place. You're probably not getting the error message due to a Firefox setting or your computer being better than mine.
 * It's stopped doing it so often now for some reason.
 * WYSIWYG Hyperlinks still don't work and I have submitted a bug report
