  • Hi Matt,

     

    That's a lot of fixes for January! : )

    I had a couple of questions: Is the pasting of text/URLs issues in comments fixed? (This was the issue where the page scrolled to the bottom, and it was not possible to enter more text if the user had pasted something, such as text or a URL). I think it is fixed since I've tried it just now, although the page does still scroll slightly when pasting, but that is really minor.

    Also, there is an issue where if a product link is entered when creating a blog post, then when the post is published, after a while the paragraph loses punctuation like full stops and commas etc. This one was awkward, because even after a spell and grammar-check, I'd have to go and re-read the entire blog post again to spot where I needed to re-type the punctuation marks (otherwise people think it is lazy writing hehe).

    Finally, there is an issue with some images on old blog posts having bizarre colours. I originally thought the colours were just inverted, but that's not the case, there is some other colour encoding issue. Anyway, I've tried to fix it for some of my blog posts, but it is hard to do it for all of them. I was wondering if this was a Jive bug, because it rendered them all fine in the past. When I fix those blog posts, I re-download the image, and then resize it slightly, and then upload it. Then it appears fine.
