After the major update I can not use any kind of text formatting in my links. Always after I save the topic, the formatting goes back to plain text, except for the standard underline of the link.
All my links marked with bold letters were converted to plain text, except for the underline. I already had a bug ticket. |

Links.... You can set links to be any color, bold, italic, etc... that you want. It's neat. The problem would happen if you wanted something that's mechanics to be red italics, and a People Link to be blue bold for instance. If you set to Red Italics in that setting, then ALL your links will be red italics. If you go in and change it to blue bold, then ALL your links will be blue bold (after the fact, it actually goes and changes them all). Probably not the answer you wanted. What it's doing is creating an HTML tag for links and you can change how that appears. All RTF is gone and is now HTML. |

I doubt it'll stay this way. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to format links differently from their base. (You certainly can in HTML or HTML+CSS.)
Changing pains. :/ Last edited by Parody; October 13th, 2015 at 09:27 PM. |

It turns out that the UI framework we utilize on the desktop (DevExpress) does some incredibly stupid things with hyperlinks. We spent some time trying to figure out how to solve this today, but it turns out to be a very ugly and complicated problem due to the stupidity of DevExpress. So this probably isn't something we'll be able to address immediately, but we're definitely still trying to figure something out.

If you can wait a few days, that would be ideal. We MIGHT figure something out, and if we do, you'll likely want to go back to your backup that we made before you upgraded to build 201. Then all the work you've done will be preserved during the upgrade process. But I can't guarantee we'll come up with a good solution this week.

Cool. I'll try to hold off on any new data entry for a few days, just in case.
Inevitable bugs aside, the new update looks great. I'm excited to start making use of the new Alias/Names features. Thanks for all your team's hard work! |

The issue referred to above has been fixed in the bug fix version just released. It was ugly and messy, but we managed to do it.

Unfortunately, the update yesterday did not work as intended. Please review this thread for more information. If you have questions, please ask them in the same thread.
