Preview on PM's not working

[smarty]

Just tried to preview a PM I was about to send and the popup opened but said there was nothing to preview, tried it again and had the same issue.

I usually use this function during posting messages on the forum and it worked fine for that last time I tried.

Cheers, Mart.

Thanks for reporting it - do you have any more details for us please?

Are you using PC, Mac, some form of mobile device, iOS App (etc.?)

What version of OS?

If PC / Mac, what browser?

That'll help for starters.

Cheers.

Hi, I'm on Win7 Pro and have tried IE, Firefox and Chrome (my browser of choice at the mo)
All have the same symptom.

The screengrab below shows what you see when you hit the preview post button. As you can see when the popup opens you get 'There is nothing to Preview' written instead of your expected message.

I initially tried this in safari on IOS and just got a complete white screen with no text in it, hitting the back button took me back to the pm message page but without my message, thats when I went onto the laptop.

Cheers.

I get the same results. Must be a bug or forum software issue - we'll take a look!

It's an odd one though as I was posting from Windows 7 Pro yesterday and the preview was working just fine.

Running Windows 7.
Just tried now, and no preview...

I can replicate this issue as well on the following systems so assume this is probably a webwiz issue.

Windows 7 - IE 10
Windows 7 - Chrome
Windows XP - Chrome
Windows XP - IE 8
Iphone & Ipad via IOS app in both Classic & Mobile mode.
Iphone & Ipad via Safari

[EDIT] Scrub that - I just realised we're talking about PM's DOH!!!guddler2013-02-28 10:05:06

OK, yep - reproduced. Really should have read the OP properly in the first place

The Add picture to PM feature is also still not working, unless this is not a feature we offer ?

The add picture to PM feature is a bug from where we have enabled https on the site. Rav has informed Webwiz and a fix will be in a future release.

I would imagine the preview feature is the same issue.

Whilst I can't fix the preview feature, there is a workaround for the picture one. Simply upload pictures via file manager and then directly copy them in using the image tags.
