Forum message editor was created by Sir Lee

I have been having odd problems with the forum message editor. For some reason, large parts of the message simply disappear after I click "submit", and then I have to go back and edit the message to fix the missing content. Sometimes more than once.
It may have something to do with pasted text blocks. Or maybe it is because I use Firefox instead of the more common Chromium-based browsers. Or (it just occurred to me) it might be caused by the EFF Privacy Badger extension (I have just disabled it for this site, let's see if it helps).

I can confirm it is NOT Firefox. Firefox has been the browser I've tested the site with the most. Chrome secondary. So I'd believe it more likely you're experiencing issues with Edge than Firefox.

We DID have some issues with pasting in text at first... the forums editor that was being used wasn't handling outside formating well at all... but I haven't seen any problems since I switched to the other editor setting. And there are only the two options, so if this one is having issues too... I'm not sure what we can do. It may help if you are pasting from a 'low data' form into the forums instead of a high level one... ie RTF instead of a more complex Word block.

You may be able to 'see' these problems before hitting submit by using the Preview tab. Might give that a try. Let me know what you find and I'll see what I can do to reproduce the issue.

Fate guard you, and may the Light brighten your Way.
