Fix gift messages
Replies
Please for the love of all that is holy. The update to the gift system was great but messages are totally borked in it.
- The message input box needs to be way way bigger.
- Line breaks don't work. They just insert an n.
- Apostrophes also don't work. They add a to the word.
Anything else I'm missing?
If you are using Google Chrome (and maybe Firefox?) you can stretch the message input box. Although, it would be nice for the default to be larger for people not using Chrome.
I just tested and I'm not having a problem with line breaks or apostrophes being entered using Chrome version 32.0.1700.107. Both line breaks and apostrophes are entered normally. What browser are you using?
I'd suggest switching browsers to see if that fixes your issues.
[edit] Ack, sorry for the double ping. I see what you mean now. In the preview it's messed up. However, looking at previously received gifts (including one from just yesterday), apostrophes look fine. It seems like line breaks don't go through and all text just continues on the same line, wrapping around when it reaches the end of the line. This does need to be fixed.
So it looks like it's partly a problem with the preview function since the 'n' and '/' don't appear in received messages.
This REALLY bugs me, too. For the amount we now pay to pick our wrapping paper (I'm not complaining, just mentioning) I think these problems should have been fixed a while ago... like when it first was revamped. Very annoying.
It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out.
You cannot read Loss, only feel it.
/throws my support all over this
Though it perhaps should be in bugs?
Okay, I had -no- idea that you could stretch the box. That's awesome. Thanks so much for that. (maybe a tip could be added somewhere on that page, or as a hover tip or something?)
Don't know what's up with the whole line break issue - but I do see now that apparently some people have sent messages that have proper line breaks. I wonder if they used [.br] for that?
Also, I'm on Chrome
I guess this can be moved to bugs since the major suggestion I had is already sort of in place (minus providing some clue that it's possible to resize). That was the main reason I put it in this forum instead of in bugs.
