A Hashtag Bug i may found...

in steemhelp •  7 years ago  (edited)

When creating a Post and your add a Tag in the Tag Form that starts with a number, lets say its #99problems you get the Error "Must start with a letter". When adding the hashtag before your 99problems, the error is gone.

The Problem is, that you may add your hashtag and dont notice the error but when you edit your Post the hashtags in the Form are removed and it states "Must start with a letter" but you dont know WHAT needs to start with a Letter and since you just clicked on Edit and didnt change anything you dont know where the Problem comes from. You are only allowed to update the post after you added the hashtags back in.

This is annoying when you wrote a big Post with a few code snippets and you check them all for errors because you normally work through the Post from the top to the bottom. Maybe you even spent an hour on this Problem and at last you find yourself facepalm because its just one stupid Hashtag.

3 Possible Solutions:

Change the Text to: "Hashtags must start with a letter".
Fix the Bug so it doesnt remove Hashtags when editing a Post.
Add 98 other Bugs and state its a feature.

Is there a simple and fast way to report bugs on Steemit without the need to create accounts elsewhere (like github or slack)?

Funny Off Topic addition:

I was searching for a Picture on google about 99problems and got an error there too!
https://www.google.de/search?q=99problems&safe=off&client=firefox-b&dcr=0&tbm=isch&source=lnt&tbs=sur:fc&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwic_qCEo5baAhWSbFAKHU-qBSoQpwUIHw&biw=1920&bih=915&dpr=1

I hope this doesnt turn out as a endless 99 Problems post!

Oh man it does! I should have taken the screenshot instantly but i closed the Tab and now the error on Google doesnt reappear but i wanted to add it as image in case the error is gone. xD

We counted 3 now, if anybody has 96 Problems, please report them here. ;)
