Hi all,
New here on Squarespace forum 👋
First, a little background. I used to have few Squarespace sites years ago and recall the experience of editing sites was great back then. I don't recall having issues with those sites. This week, I've been setting up a new website project on Squarepace, but I'm sad to say, the site editing experience has been an absolute horror so far.
I can really relate to the experiences people on this thread have had.
Now, I don't know if it's due to the 7.1 editor or something else, but quite frankly - the unresponsiveness and unreliability of the editor is just terrible. Editing a block keeps getting stuck on editing or when I try to save some edits I made. Sometimes the whole block disappears suddenly.. there seem to be several issues at play. It just gets completely unusable at points. Which is a shame.
Based on my short experience (started building a site this week), Firefox on Mac seem to work best. Chrome and Safari have even more issues. But even with Firefox, I'm constantly running into problems while editing something. I'd like to run a blog, but it now worries me that if I write (or edit) a post, it might just disappear suddenly / not save the new post at all. Probably need to write it on some other software first, just to have backup in case something goes bad.
I do realize, 7.1 is quite new and some bugs are to be expected. But honestly, at this moment, it just feels almost unusable at points. Please Squarespace - you need to fix this 😕
PS. Clearing browser cache did not solve the issue for me. I'm still seeing blocks get stuck in editing, saving, etc. See the picture for reference.
