RE: Edit problems since communities are live!
Good you point it out and hope some of the developer sees it.
Though, have you tried blogging through any other interfaces..? Like I myself never really posted through steemit.com long time ago..
OK, lets try: hello, @roadscape, @quochuy! Anybody there? :)
Can you open an issue here:
https://github.com/steemit/condenser/issues
And also add an example of HTML file you used so we can replicate on a dev environment?
Hi, thanks for your reply! (That your are replying here confirms me in my decision to vote for you as witness!)
Isn't it most easy if you just right click on my article to let you show the (HTML) source of the site?
Then delete the unnecessary huge header added from steemit and you have the file you need.
This is the article I mean: "Bundesregierung für Pflicht zur Passwortherausgabe!".
If I try to edit it, it suddenly looks completely different (as descried in the post above).
By the way I am using Brave browser and Linux Mint but I am rather sure that's not the reason for my problem (if you read the comments under my article you will see that other users report similar issues).
I never added anything to github. If it is really necessary I will try to find out how it works, but in general I guess most users are not accustomed to open issues there, so there should be another easy method to open issues directly here on the platform (I thought "hive-144703" - "Communities Feedback" was that method). :)
Another problem is that I cannot post the HTML code here in this comment window as it would be directly shown as post instead of pure code.
I just made a screen shot of part of my HTML code (which is already slightly modified from the Steemit editor, and I cut the huge header):
You can copy that image and then increase its size in any image editing program.
If you still think it is necessary to open an issue at GitHub I will try to do that (but again, that's not what most users here will do when having a problem - I fear they will change the site where they post instead ...).
The reason why I asked for the file is there are chances the the website changes your file after you submitted it. I want the original file so that I know what has been modified.
Also, please note that the post editor was not built to accept pure HTML , it's mainly a Markdown editor that accepts a reduced set of HTML tags. Which is why you cannot expect an HTML file to be 100% rendered correctly.
As for the GitHub issues, it's a way for all developers involved to be able to find issues in a central place. Many users have spotted bugs or have feature requests and submit them in posts and comments. It's not practical for developers to go through the whole blockchain to find bugs. In few days or weeks, it won't be easy for me to find this post. This also allows other developers who haven't seen this post to be able to pick the issue up and fix it.
I can obviously create that issue myself but there are too many requests since Communities has been released and I'm doing this voluntarily, not being paid for it and my free time is limited.
I hope you understand.
We appreciate your work. Yeah, it is markdown like you said.
I know that the website always (slightly!) modifies my original HTML files. That was already the case before communities existed, BUT these small changes don't affect the appearance of the posts!
Therefore, if you check the source of my post, even if it differs from the original file, it is still alright.
However, when I want to edit this post, THEN the editor completely changes the code again in a way which changes the appearance of the post.
And even if the editor was not created to handle pure HTML, I never experienced that behavior before, even if I already wrote many hundred posts.
Sorry for this long explanation, but it is important for me that you can understand what I wanted to say. I tried my best to explain it, even if English is not my mother tongue.
I don't have the original file anymore, but I could create it again with help of the source of the post, because both are very similar.
I understand your point of using GitHub, but I hope you understand mine too: I may try to find out how to use it, but I am sure that the majority of users won't. That's why I think it would be great to have a place directly on this blockchain to spot and discuss errors.
I also understand that you don't have enough time to care about every request of so many users, but on the other side everybody, especially witnesses and developers profit most from a thriving STEEM blockchain based on a growing and satisfied user base. That's why I mentioned this problem here (and spent quite some of my precious time for pointing it out, as well). :)
According to the other comments I am not alone.
Anyway, in case I find enough time I may check how to use GitHub and open an issue there, but I hope that even if you cannot help me (again: I understand your lack of time) you may think about what I wrote: 99 % of all users never used GitHub (and won't do in future).
Have a nice day! :)
And the problem still isn't solved ...
If I have time i might create a bot that I can call to copy a post/comment into a GitHub issue

For some it may sound strange, but I like the simplicity of the Steemit interface. :)
