This thread for reporting issues after the forum upgrade!

Please use this thread for reporting issues after the upgrade on 5/7/08 so we can fix them. Thanks!

The quick reply box is really small.

EDIT: The message boxes don't stretch all the way to the edges either.

[catacon]

Whenever I post, it says that the post is a duplicate of a post posted within the last five minutes. It then redirects me to my new post. I also got this error when try to edit in Advanced mode.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

Dris is still working on the templates. Either he or I will post when he *thinks* he is done.

[glc]

Dris says he is done updating templates. Anything you find after logging out, clearing cache, and logging back in is legit and we'd like to hear about it.

[doctorgonzo]

The "No reply threads" link is gone now from the Quick Links menu.

[tomster2300]

I just got the same duplicate post issue that catacon mentioned, but it happened when I made a new thread.

[shadowpr]

Issues I described are fixed.

[catacon]

Just testing to see if my issue is resolved.

Yup, it's fixed.

[juppy]

Not that it's a BIG issue, because I can still do it the old way, but I've noticed that the multi-quote feature doesn't seem to work right. You can click it to quote the first post in a thread but none of the other posts in the thread let the multi-quote button work (change color to orange when clicked). Like I said, no biggie, but would be nice if it did work. :)

[glc]

You are correct. Multi-quote is broken and I don't know how to fix it. It is enabled in the admin CP. I'm a member of another forum that recently upgraded, and the multi-quote does the exact same thing over there too.

[juppy]

There's a thread HERE (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=188189) that tells how to fix it in version 3.6.0. I don't know whether it'd be the same in 3.7.0 though. Something about adding a new style with "No Parent Style".

[glc]

Looks like Dris needs to revert and redo more templates. He thought he got all that mattered.

[hitchface]

'No Reply Threads' is still missing.

Oh, and I don't know if this is related, but the sentence "Helping Normal People Get Their Geek On" and that whole light blue bar is cut off by about 50 percent. Using latest of Firefox. Won't do the same in IE7.

[glc]

The cutoff bar has been an issue in every browser except IE for a while now.

Dris has not done anything that I'm aware of since I posted that he was done.

Found another one, G. Posts that you've made in General Discussion aren't showing up in the Search page. For instance, to see if anything that I've replied to the day before has any new posts added to it, I go to the Advanced Search page and type my name in the "User Name" search box. This will bring up all the threads I've posted in and I just look for the ones with new posts in them (the little arrow at the left side). Well, the main forums seem to show up okay, but ones that I've replied to in General Discussion aren't being shown. Like the thread yesterday where Dave (HAL9000) was talking about his daughter getting into anime drawing.......totally nonexistant on the search page when I search for it.

It appears to me that the "views" count column is inaccurate. Several threads that I have not posted in but frequently read the latest posts show a "views" count that is within 1 number of the "replies" count.

[Dave21]

It appears to me that the "views" count column is inaccurate. Several threads that I have not posted in but frequently read the latest posts show a "views" count that is within 1 number of the "replies" count.I just noticed that for the past few days too. I thought it was just me. Maybe it counts unique views now?

Is it just me or does it seem like the forum is not as active since the update?

[hitchface]

Agreed. Maybe a mail out from dris making sure nobody is having issues...

[Dave21]

Agreed. Maybe a mail out from dris making sure nobody is having issues...Maybe everyone is on vacation :p

[juppy]

That problem I posted about on #16 above, about the search not showing things posted in General Discussion.....well, that forum's fixed and showing fine now, but I noticed tonight that the General Hardware forum and the Video, Audio, and Multimedia forum seem to be doing the same thing too. Dunno how many more would do it, that's just the one's I've posted in recently that I've noticed.

EDIT: Well, I *thought* the General Discussion was fixed. The ones that weren't showing the other day are showing now, but a thread I posted in GD last night isn't showing again. :confused: Heck, I don't know what's up with this thing. Some of 'em show, some of 'em don't, I guess. :D

I believe this issue is still not addressed.

[drisley]

Guys, I'll try to find out what I can ASAP. I have no idea what's happening with it. The forum is working in the meantime.

I need like 48 hours in a day, I swear.

[hitchface]

And a 9 day week with 2 Sundays, right? We appreciate the work Dris.

[juppy]

Yeah, I've just sort of adapted to work around my "search" issue for now. I started going through the new posts and just looking for the threads that have the little white arrow beside them (meaning I posted in those). Not as fast that way, but it gets the job done. So just whenever you get a chance, Dris.....like you said, it's not like the forum's broke or anything, coz it's still working for the most part. :D

EDIT: 'Bout forgot....Happy Birthday Dris! Hope you had a good one! :)

[Dave21]

Yea, we all appreciate your hard work and dedication to the forums Dris. Thanks!

24 hours a day is definitely not enough. If we could function with no sleep, it would be enough :P

[Statica]

I believe this issue is still not addressed.

The current version of vb allows thread views NOT to be updated immediately. It's a good thing as it reduces server loads.

[drisley]

I think that might be the case. I was checking this and initially all the view counts were off. Then, all of a sudden they all updated. Very strange.

[Statica]

If you want to try it the other way .. Admin CP > Server Settings and Optimization Options

I've always just clicked the User CP button in the top left to view recently updated threads. They disappear from the list after being inactive, then reappear in bold (until you click them) when updated.

I also get updates emailed to me as well.

[Dave21]

What happened to this thread?

http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=197703

It's blank?

[glc]

It got caught in the spam filter.

[catacon]

Hey, I don't know if this is a glitch or not, but since the upgrade, the number of views of a thread equals the number of replies +1. I doubt this is the case in most threads. If this isn't a glitch what is the reason for that?

[blue60007]

I just assumed everyone who reads the topic replies. +1 for the initial view by the poster, but 0 replies.

[catacon]

Yeah, but not everyone that views the thread replies.

[mritech75]

I try to click on "search" tab and I'm not getting the drop down box to search forums. Is it my computer? or a glitch in the website? Thanks for any info. Mark

[glc]

Mine is working - what happens if you right click on the search link, do you get options?

[shadowpr]

I have the same problem. A few members have commented on this in another thread. If we right click, then we can open. But the normal left click does nothing.

It's the same for member names if you want to send a PM, and for quick lists.

Using IE7.

[mritech75]

yeah I can right click and click "open". left click doesn't do anything. thanks for the help. I try to search for answers before posting.
