[UCIMC-Tech] F-ed Up WYSIWYG Editor

[Josh King]

Hi Mike,

Do you have a link to any of your test posts that demonstrate the 
problem? I'm going to be working on fixing the teasers and image 
problems today. I upgraded the WYSIWYG editor last week as part of that, 
but it may have had some unintended consequences that I didn't catch. 
I'll be changing the way that the IMC site handles images and updating 
things to bring it in line with the versioned software repository I've 
been doing most of my work in. Unfortunately I won't be at the Tech 
meeting tomorrow to discuss what I'm doing, but maybe we should schedule 
an IMC-Web meeting later this week or sometime next week to discuss site 
issues and changes.
