I tried uploading a new animated avatar and it wouldn't let me saying that I cannot upload animations. When did this happen?:confused:

There have been some issues after the upgrade to vBulletin 3.5, hence the weird things...should be fixed now.

Thread Hijack: Anyone who finds any problems/bugs with the forums, PLEASE POST THEM HERE

Sometimes when I edit a post on one page and save the changes (this is AFTER I have finished saving my changes), I can't press the "home" or "end" buttons to go up to the top or bottom of the page. It'll probably work itself out...

It works!:D

I can't do new paragraphs. Every time I edit my post and press return to get the paragraph down, it doesn't work. It just stays at the first paragraph.

I cant post with the quick reply button. When I get ready to post, I always have to press the quote button and then delete the quoted post, and post my post.

haha. i was AWAKE last night while the boards were down. i saw it all. ha ha ha

Same here. And when you quote someone, their quote is full of HTML. Right now, there are < p> at the beginning and the end.

Also, I can't click on a smilie and have it inserted into my post. It tells me at the bottom of the window that there's an error on the page.

It got fixed!!

The "Search This Forum" function doesn't work! :mad:

This I am not getting...Which editor are you using? Basic? Standard? WYSIYG?

We're having problems with both the Quick Links and Search this Forum boxes at the moment...

Ever since the boards were upgraded in Januray I can't right-click and paste things. I have to go up to Edit and select it. It's getting annoying. Any solutions?

WYSIYG

Attention Everyone: A lot of **** is currently broken (not to mention my laptop wants to be broken)

I'll start looking into this and that in a minute. BTW, Cathy, I've noticed that since the switch, I've been kicked into Standard Editor - If you haven't, double-check that in your Edit Options in the User CP

hmm...mine stayed the same.


btw, those little lights that were here for like, a minute, that said if people were online or not...those were cool.

what happened to the profile pictures? All I see is a red X.

Fixed:

Custom Avatars
Custom Profile Pics should now display
Search This Forum (works on most boards, still have to revert some templates)

I've haven't seen this version before. vBulletin 3.5.0 is a better program for all forums. Well, what can I say. To point that out, GAC Forums (part of Golden Age Cartoons website) did have the vBulletin version 3.0.7. I don't see GAC Forums upgrading to vBulletin's 3.5.0 anytime soon. Nice concept.

Another funky bug I noticed.

Sometimes when I post a reply, it shows up at the bottom of the page. When I refresh the page the next time, my post gets moved to a new page. It's getting really irritating, because I seem to make a lot of those posts.

don't forget about the elimination of the little space between the parenthesis and the last page number of multi-page threads to choose from on the forum index.

(http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/images/misc/multipage.gif 1 2)

before the update there would have been a space between the 2 and the right parenthesis. it was the first thing i noticed. man is this going to take a while to get used to. and i mean that because i always had a tendency to highlight the space and sometimes copy it if i felt like it.

Quick Reply won't work for me, nor will any of the buttons [editing tools- font, color, etc] in the thing to edit your signature or post a reply.

I thought it was my computer.... phew. Good thing it's not.

I think SO went down last night because I couldn't get anything but an error message. I hope thats fixed now.

I had trouble with editing and posting smilies.

Why do you guys always have to keep upgrading, the boards were fine as they were.

Do I see a spell checker??????? :gasp: :OMG!: :HOLY****:

oh nvm i have to download it :rolleyes:

I dont think I like the new version -_-

It will definitely take some getting use to.

How do you quote two posts on one reply?

yeah, there isn't anything that really annoys me but me and that space were good pals. i'm going to miss it.

How do you quote two posts on one reply?
manually - quote one, copy, go back, quote the other post and paste in the first one...

or use an extension in firefox like pastequote or greasemonkey and a script

When I use quick reply it quotes the post above me, it never used to do that at all

Yea it has the quote message in reply option already checked.

muchus gracias

whenever i use quick reply the text box is blank and everything but when i submit it, it comes out quoting the post above.

my quick reply still isn't working ohno:

because it is created dynamically by a script, it has to finish what it is doing in the background before you click reply

make sure the Quote message in reply? is unchecked and cross yer fingers....

laaaa

well i'll be damned.

I didnt even know that the board was being upgrated :lol: I just logged on yesterday and everything was all different.

Its basically the same, though. Not as big as the one in January.

damn is there any way i make it so the "quote message in reply" isn't checked by default?

There seems to be some issue with quoting. When you qoute someone it actaully has the wrong name when its quoted. At least at the end of this thread. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/boards/showthread.php?t=152771

Thats happened to me a few times before, before the upgrade. I dont know why it does that.

My quick reply is finally working. Im so happy. :D

Mine's not. And am I still the only one who sees HTML when I quote a person? I have to put < p > between the quote and my reply or it runs together.

I keep getting this error whenever I click on something

Yea I've been getting that a few times tonight too.

Not a bug per se, but is it possible to hide the deleted posts? They are OBNOXIOUS. I don't want to see them. I don't want to look at them. I want them GONE. Please?

They're not hidden really, it just looks like a deleted post, it would be nice if they could be hidden

Yeah, that's what I meant. They're not there anymore, but it's annoying to see "Post deleted by ______" RIGHT there. They used to be hidden before the upgrades...I'd love if they were hidden again.

I have no idea what anyone is talking about in reference to that "Post delete" thing. I don't see options. Are they in the posts or??

Okay, what I mean is that...

Before the upgrades... Whenever you deleted a post and went to look for where your post used to be, you would NOT see a box that said "This message has been deleted by ______."

But since the upgrades...Whenever you delete a post and go to look for where it used to be, you DO see a box that says "This post has been deleted by ______."

It's that box I think is obnoxious. I liked it better before the upgrade, when you DIDN'T see that box. Understand now? :)

Ah, now I see. Gotcha. I have never deleted any of my posts, so maybe that is why I don't see these "ghost" boxes, if that can be a good term for this. Maybe I should just post and then delete to see what it looks like.

Okay, I created another post and deleted it. I don't get a "ghost" box. It just looks normal as though I didn't post anything other than my post to PZelda. Hmmm.....

Yea I never see anything when I delete a post.


Is it a moderator thing?

I just deleted my post right above and I don't see anything. Do you? I know at one time I used to see a post saying this thread has been deleted by so and so but I haven't seen that in about 6 months.

You're right. It could be a moderator function.

Yeah, that's it. That's why...I'm a moderator. CRIPES. HOWEVER...Before the upgrade, even the moderators didn't see the "deleted" boxes unless they were at the board they modded (for example, I mod the Mama's Family and Hunter boards...if somebody deletes a post there, I would see the box). They would not see the boxes if they were visiting, say, Random Posts.


Okay then. In this case...I dutifully request that it be taken away for moderators too. The only time I want to see the deleted boxes is if I visit the Mama's Family or Hunter boards. I don't want to see the boxes when I visit Chit Chat or whatnot. It's very obnoxious and distracts me. I only want to be able to see them when I am at my respective boards.

This is what I see in this thread, and I think it is VERY ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I see. Thanks soooo much for posting the screenshot, PZelda!! Hehe, you wanna know what is weird? I was debating whether to ask if you or DallasCowboysFanatic could post a screenshot. Then I thought it might sound too odd. Creepy.... it's like you read my mind.... *Twilight Zone music playing* :lol:

I've changed it so only administrators can see the deletion notices. Moderators won't be able to see any of them though, even on the boards they moderate. That's something they must have changed with this version.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!! :bighug: I finally don't see them anymore now. Thanks a million! :D

My attachment button seems to have vanished. . :confused:

Yeah it means hidden, I just dont have the best grammer :p

does the huge space between the message and signature annoy the crap out of anyone else?

Yes it really does

does the huge space between the message and signature annoy the crap out of anyone else?
Yeah its so annoying. Can someone please fix this?

Oh, and can we keep the signature in every post thing? We had it for like a week and I really liked it. Its annoying to have to go to the top of the page to look at someone's signature.

I've never liked the "floating" signatures. I think it is better that they are at the bottom of the posts. There would be no space if people typed out normal length responses and didn't have 500 character signatures.

Either way you are going to have blank space. Why does it matter if it's above or below the signature?

One signature per thread is plenty, there's no reason that you need to see the same signature 5 times on the same page.

I post images from other Internet site with the function., (I can't attach my own images. I've recently noticed that these "flown-in images disappear, and then reappear once I've pressed the Refresh button often enough. Waht's causing this? I did install a new firewall; could it be that? :confused:

Why isn't the "edit" botton working? Or is it just me?

I posted my "bug" at the "Chit Chat Games" because I encountered mine there, but I will re-post to see if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.

Weird... I was able to see my signature on more than one post there AND my first one on that page! Is that a mistake? I thought it was ONLY supposed to show up once in every page.

But.... once I exited out of the browser window and later re-opened the page, ONLY my first post of the page's signature showed up. The other ones disappeared - like it's supposed to be.

That forum is playing mind tricks on me! It's like a phantom of the sigs. *Twilight Zone music playing*

Edit: It did it AGAIN on THIS post..... My signature is showing up! :confused:

I captured two of them side-by-side as shown below:

it will show up multiple times on the page IF you use the Quick Reply button and don't have the "Show My Signature" box unchecked...

conversely, if you use the Quick reply for the first post on a page, your signature wont show if the box is unchecked (the box always overrides everything)

when you refresh or reload the page (without using the Quick Reply) the "show signatures only once per page" setting will take precedence... in other words, the behavior is normal (but understandably confusing).

The boards just won't load, they froze up on me, and I had to constantly refresh the page just to post, is it the sever or something? :(

do we no longer use the [img] tag in posts anymore?

do we no longer use the [img] tag in posts anymore?
you can use them as long as it's OK with the site that you are hotlinking from - if there is any question about it you can upload your pic to imageshack or other image hosting site.

the reason that hotlinked pics may not appear intermittently is usually because of lag from the site serving them - they'll show up eventually as long as their server isn't overloaded (or someone takes the pic down)

Thanks for explainin. I just could've sworn that it has never previously happened to me up until yesterday. Hmmm.... I guess I just didn't happen to notice closely until yesterday, it seems.

I can't get the full smilies menu to come up! :mad:

I swear I've posted a few times and had the post appear on a page, and when I refresh it appears on the next page as the first post on the page. Am I freaking out or something?

i think when you use quick reply the post appears on the current page regardlessly until you refresh it. that confused me too.

Yes, since Monday. It's a pain in the butt trying to get around in my PM box, too. Also, there were a few times on Monday where I was unable to access the site. :(

It seems to be running along a lot better today, though.
