Slide Show Club display issue - Resolved

[Barry Beckham]

I uploaded an old show earlier and had great trouble getting the cursor to appear in the text field. It eventually did, but I am not sure what I did to get it there.

Later I spotted a spelling mistake, but when I try and edit the text nothing shows in the text box. If you click and drag all the invisible text will highlight, but I can't see it when I begin to type. I tried with Google Chrome and Explorer with the same results

Barry,

I have just uploaded a test file and went into the Edit function.

My text was there and in Black.

My first reaction when I saw your post was that the text in the Edit Box had defaulted to White and possibly changing this would have made the text show.

Anyway, it all works OK (for me) in W7 and Firefox.

If I remember correctly, there are two selectable views of SSC, the dark one & the original?

You're absolutely right. Because I had trouble when the text box first opened after the slide show uploaded I was clicking around to try and get the cursor to show so I could type. I selected back and that was OK, but it showed up as black against the brown background and I changed it to white thinking it was a little glitch that would come right later, as these things often do.

When I spotted the spelling mistake I went back in, but had forgotten I set it to white. I guess in my difficulties I moved away from the default text colour that must be a mid grey. I have set that and can now see the text.

Barry,

I apologize about this problem with uploading on Slideshowclub!

We recently upgraded the software to the latest version of Invision Power Board (4.0.12). It seems that new version 4.x still contains some problems.

I'll report a bug-report to IPB developers.

Please try to switch to the Default theme (see "Theme" link at the end of any Slideshowclub page). Do you see same problem?

Its OK now I know what the issue is, but I am still not sure why when I first opened SSC that I could not click in the text box and see the cursor. As I was fiddling around, the curso appeared and I am not sure if it would have done that anyway or I did something by fiddling with the settings.

Barry,

Thanks, I think that IPB developers are working on future updates and will fix this problem.
