*The Forum Rules.

Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.

1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic, sockpuppet, or link to irrelevant and non-Squidoo sites (includes signatures).
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

Losing Intro Mod Changes?

I've just released a fix for the bug where lens intros would sometimes be wiped out when a custom bio was added.

I know several people have run into this bug in the past couple weeks, and I sure hope this problem is gone now!

Thanks for your patience everyone.

Re: Losing Intro Mod Changes?

Dont know if this helps Gil, but the bug tended to wipe out my beautifully crafted intros - that I had spent hours on lol - when I switched the right hand column to add widgets. Then it was phttttt!

Taught me to draft my intros on Notebook or Word & save any changes smile

Thanks for the fix.

I call it the Evil Intro Nabber.

And it nabbed me a couple of times. Once when I added a guestbook module.

Re: Losing Intro Mod Changes?

Thank Gil!!
When I remembered to copy my intro into notepad, I didn't lose the intro but when I forgot - that bug showed up and flashed me his gnarled teeth and I could almost hear him say -nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.

Re: Losing Intro Mod Changes?

I used to absolutely HATE that dreaded bug. You have no idea how many intros I had to rewrite. Experience taught me better and now I copy paste my intros to a notepad before publishing. I still do big_smile Habits die hard! Thanks for fixing that up, Gil!

Re: Losing Intro Mod Changes?

Yes AJ a very good suggestion, try to have a copy of your current lens/module/working bits and pieces in Wordpad. Notepad, Word, third-[arty document creator. Otherwise you may suffer from Lensortium Discontinuum smile
