Known Issues

Since BodySpace is still technically in "beta" status, a few yet-unresolved issues are to be expected.  The following are items that still don’t work quite right, but that we already know about :

1. Blog pages (like this one) won’t become visible until you save them twice.  (Create the page, then go back in and save it.)

2. Blog post counts are off in various places.  Believed to have been fixed.

3. Blog comment counts are off (in at least two different places) if messages were first held in moderation then approved.

4. Sometimes blog comments disappear entirely, never being posted or going into moderation.

5. Several blog comment moderation options do not work as indicated (messages without links still being treated as having links, etc.)

6. BodySpace profile comments sometimes still get posted twice, even though the button has been greyed out.  This was fixed by adding the tokens feature.  See #8.

7. Entering certain code into a blog post will display as intended when saving it once, but upon a subsequent edit and resave cycle, the code will not survive, requiring another re-edit to restore the code to it’s former state.  Example: using "& lt;" (with no space) to represent the less-than symbol, "<". Workaround: use numbered entities instead of HTML entities (i.e., use ‘& #60;’ [with no space] instead of ‘& lt;’ and ‘& #62;’ [with no space] instead of ‘& gt;’).

8. The dreaded blog "tokens" issue.  ‘Nuff said - we’ve all seen it.  LOL  Resolved for now.  #6 may start again.

9. Long URLs in blog posts don’t split/wrap on the BodySpace front page (recent blog posts section), thus breaking layout.

10. Ampersands in the BodySpace Goals, Supplements, and Favorites modules display as "& amp;" (with no space) instead of "&".  FIXED 10/30/2007.

11. Ampersands in BodySpace profile comments also display as "& amp;" (with no space) instead of "&".  FIXED 10/30/2007.

12. Blog comment spam not yet disabled by default (settings).

UPDATE: Trackback spam settings not yet tweaked by default.

13. "Edit" link doesn’t appear after blog posts for default user.

14. Random dates appearing on blog posts and/or blog post timezone settings are off.

15. Certains GIF and PNG images edited by possibly 2 particular pieces of software (ArcSoft PhotoStudio 5 for Canon, Version 5.5.0.63; & Microsoft Office Picture Manager) defy automatic resizing upon upload. Workaround: convert GIF’s or PNG’s to JPG’s.

16. Blog editing toolbar doesn’t appear in Safari browser on Mac.

17. Blog header presentation colors may not appear as intended in certain browser configurations (Firefox, Opera).

18. JavaScript code errors on BodySpace main profile pic upload page, the progress pics upload page, and also on BodyBlog admin "options-general.php" page.

19. When uploaded images are "Sent to editor" in blog posts, incorrect height and width tags are generated.  Workaround implemented.

20. DIV class information stripped from blog posts for some users.

21. Blog template links (along bottom left-hand navigation pane) appear in random order and change with each refresh.

22. In blog post image tags, a space is added before the ending slash with each subsequent edit, resulting with code like this after a few edits:
< img            />

UPDATE: on blog pages, the problem is reversed: instead of extra spaces, you get extra slashes:
< img ////////////>

23. Non-loading (or slow loading) images with long alt text can break layout in several places on BodySpace still.

24. Some main profile pics and progress pics become partially corrupted or turn partially grey during upload.

25. Logging out of BodySpace when in a blog generates a blank page (invalid callback to mblog.php).  Fixed.

26. Blog comments may not ‘clear’ each other, ending up in displaced avatars.

27. Inconsistent blog permalink handling: changing the blog title won’t affect the URL name (so you’re stuck with a misspelling, for example, in the URL), but changing the date will affect the URL (thus the permalink isn’t really permanent).  In addition, you can change the URL (or the slug) of the category pages, thus leading to confusion - some parts of the URL can be changed, while others cannot.

28. BodySpace photo upload error messages are misleading.  Often when the "incorrect file type" error message is received, for example, the actual issue is file size, not type.

29. This blog 404 message: "Not Found - Sorry, there are no posts in this blog." is misleading, as there are clearly posts in the blog, but the particular permalink URL that was clicked just happened to have changed, that’s all - just a broken link.

30. Sometimes new users get misleading emails and error messages, leading them to believe that their account is not yet activated, when in fact they already are.  This is further compounded by the fact that when they try to have their activation email resent it doesn’t ever go out since they’re already done.

31. Logging in to BodySpace results in the temporary "Welcome, !" (empty user name) and blank avatar on the 3rd column until after the redirect.

32. RSS feeds for blog entries and blog comments are not working.  Fixed.

33. The count of blog comments awaiting moderation are not always correct.

UPDATE: Trackback spam that have been disallowed still incorrectly affect comment count.

34. Can’t change some people’s DOB/age settings via the control panel.

35. Logging out of BodySpace then trying to log back in before the refresh leaves you mid-login when it automatically refreshes, making you end up doing it twice.  :-(

36. Re-editing an existing blog post containing HTML entities (coded as such originally) changes them to the actual symbol, thus changing the behavior of the content in certain circumstances.

UPDATE: the reverse is also true - an ampersand in the title box (not coded as an HTML entity originally) is changed into an HTML entity upon a re-edit, which then (unless corrected) get saved that way upon save.

37. Auto-width scaling on images in blog posts linked using the "img" button (not uploaded) works fine in IE7 and Firefox, but not in IE6 or Safari, if it’s inside another DIV.

38. Slow blog posting (up to 2 minutes per edit) under certain circumstances. FIXED (pinging issue).

39. Can’t comment out code in blogs.  (Can’t use <– code –>)

40. Duplicate entries in BodyBlog RSS feeds.

41. BodyBlogs, in general, aren’t compatible with the Opera browser (links aren’t clickable, text gets truncated, etc.) - recommended browsers are the mainstream browsers (IE 7 and Firefox).

42. Rarely, the blog email address and the membership system email addresses sometimes aren’t the same, causing problems adding people to group blogs and also causing some users not to be able to activate their own blog.

43. The blog timezone settings are non-functional.

44. Entering double quotes in a BodyBlog post’s title field will break the layout of the blog when saved (causing the comments module’s blue background to extend beyond it’s container and envelop the rest of the page.)  WORKAROUND: Don’t use double quotes in the title field - change them to single quotes instead.

45. RSS feeds for bodyblogs are now producing duplicate entries.  Also, an ampersand in a blog title kills the RSS feed.  This needs to be double-entity-encoded to prevent this.
