If anyone is wondering why you may be being asked to download a torrent file when you open up a section....its a bug on the Amazon Servers that share the twitter code. http://torrentfreak.com/twitter-bug-requires-users-to-torrent-its-tweet-button-130923/

    Am I missing something here? Is this a problem with this Flex 6000 series community site? Please help me with the context. Thank you.

    It was not an issue directly with the community site - no. It was a problem with the tweet background code used in the GetSatisfaction code which now seems to be fixed. Twitter deployed some bad code over the weekend which was hosted on the Amazon AWS servers - which is referenced when a site adds a certain type of Tweet link and this bad code was causing Chrome to pop up a download torrent link. The link in my original post outlines the issue. As of around 9pm CST they seem to have rectified the issue.

    Oh well, I spoke too soon... still occurring.... Only affects Chrome though - IE, Safari and other browsers do not suffer the issue. Notice the TWEET button is missing and the pop-up to download the torrent file appears instead. Anyway, I was just posting the information just in case other users of the community were wondering if they had a localized issue.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
