Do you actually use the tinyMCE editor on your forums and can I assume that you do and have updated it? We have had a couple of people whose settings were lost during the upgrade. If this is what has happened could you try visiting the SP plugins list – locate the Editor – TinyMCE entry and click on the ‘Uninstall’ link. Then when that has completed, reactivate it – see if that solves the issue. Note ‘ Uninstall’ NOT deactivate.

The height settings for signature control what is allowed not how it displays. And the display is controlled by the SP theme you are using. To make this area bigger you will need to make a small edit to one of the templates in the SP theme which you can do with the theme editor. The template is called spTopicView.php. Find the entry for signature display (called sp_PostIndexUserSignature) and at the end of the function arguments you will see a value for the maximum height – by default probably set to 55 (pixles). Enlarge this to suit your preference.

As always we recommend that you create your own SP theme so that any customisation is not lost during a future update. (http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/themes/theme-basics/creating-a-theme/)

Arrrrrrr!!!

That’s screwed up to! It’s my default editor and everyone is using it!

Determining if i should restore from an earlier backup just before upgrading!

Uninstalling and reactivating restored it’s settings.

Brilliant.

Thanky Andy.

Cheers

That fixed the smiley insert problem too.

We had this problem in a test run very early in 5.1 development and then were completely unable to reproduce it in many, many tests. I think we have had 4 or 5 users with this issue now. We are still investigating. But yes – that is the method we are advising.

I love upgrades..

But truly appreciate all the support. Still a fantastic product!

we certainly strive for the thousands of upgrades to go smoothly, but seems we always have a handful of special ones

This tinymce one looks more troublesome…  and its always problematic when the devs cannot duplicate (except for long time ago as Andy said) it…
