Forum:Problems with New Wikia Text Editor

Hi all,

I encountered a problem recently, which wasn't happening about 2 weeks ago, when trying to modify articles. The problem was that there was no "edit box" on edit pages, I was only presented with white space that could not be edited, see screenshot:

In fact TulipVorlax solved the issue by telling me to go in the "Preferences", then "Modification Window" and deselect the "Righ Text Editor". Following his advice, I'm also posting this information here, for everyone to know.

Thanks for your work.

 * It was simply the fastest workaround but nothing is really solved as the new rich text editor should show up.

 * Check if you have Javascript enabled in your browser, and also try it in another browser. Joey (talk) 00:38, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Already tried both (using NoScript in Firefox and wikia is enabled, used FF and IE8), none working. Fril Estelin 01:29, january 22, 2010 (UTC)

That is pretty strange - we'll get it looked into immediately. I can reproduce it easily on. 15:27, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed! It was a small issue with the local JS on fr.guildwars.wikia - Macbre has fixed it in this edit. Refresh to see the changes - Ctrl+F5 normally does it. 15:42, January 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's weird because i didn't had any trouble with the RTE even with that code not commented but since the function was not used, i removed it.
 * It was there to have a link to another wiki on every page and we wanted to link to be in the first h1 heading floating at right.
 * But water has flown under the bridge and it's not as important as it was. — TulipVorlax 20:42, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
