    Issues to Resolve (as of Feb 3, 2012)

    Let's try starting fresh, now that the forum is at least seeming to be more stable.

    Please list only Issues that are remaining for our Administrator and Tech team to evaluate.

    Please refrain from veering off on tangents.... start new thread if you want to discuss anything in depth.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    If you are happy with the results, please add to the contributor's reputation by clicking the reputation icon (star icon) below left corner

    Please also mark the thread as Solved once it is solved. Check the FAQ's to see how.

    1. When going to edit my signature, the signature editor is empty. It should show my current signature with formatting structure so that it can be edited, not rewritten.

    In the quick reply box is an easy-access "Insert Image" button. This promotes behavior that is sort of against our rules, and I'm already seeing a lot more pictures posted instead of wbs. If that button is so handy, can we not replace that with an Insert File button instead, or at least remove it?

    There is also an easy access "Wrap QUOTE tags" button, can we not also add a "Wrap CODE tags" button next to it?

    The forum font/resolution suddenly shrunk... and the Who's Online window shrunk too with separation lines missing in some areas... Firefox 6.0

    I agree with JB -- a code tags button would be much more useful in the quick response box.

    I]Find all posts by[/I] is still missing.

    Search is still hosed

    You stll cannot select all the code in a code box by Ctrl+Click at left.

    I'm no longer receiving any subscription emails. Also, recent post is not showing up in the forums's Today's Posts. And, my last few posts generate server errors of some sort (including this post). -Rich

    Re: Issues to Resolve (as of Feb 3, 2012)

    When this tread has 16 posts, page number 2 is indicated, as is 'last'. But I can't activate them (reported this before). It 'sticks' in page 1.
    In the watercooler subforum it is indicated that this thread has 16 posts; but only 15 are visible.
    Now that I post this 17th post the second page will probably be available so it's no use testing this issue in this thread anymore (because Arlu will undoubtedly report no issues). You'll have to test it in a new one containing exactly 16 posts.

    SNB, i will not say that there are no issues, because i have seen this issue with the 16th post a couple of times. This issue started lately, was not there in the previous version atleast.

    While using IE8, if i click on reply with quote, it takes forever to work. The icon just goes round n round.

    Re: Issues to Resolve (as of Feb 3, 2012)

    Still no email notifications and i have checked i can recieve email from everywhere else, from other vbulletin forums including vb4 versions (i admin quite a few forums so have tested this extensively with both vb3 and vb4), i have also my email with an authoring site [email protected] (send an email to this address with a few lines in the body (don't mention spam as you get false results, give it the title "Testing authentication" or something not spammy and you get a diagnostic email back).

    So my email address or provider (msn.com) is blocked in this software or at server level, please can you sort this out!

    Vai, send an email from both the software (Admincp>Users>Send email to users> use any excelforum email address in the FROM box but i suggest you use the email address that sends the mails form EF which in this case is [email protected]) and then check the diagnostic email then do the same from cpanel>webmail>ANY OF THE EMAIL PROGRAMS and perform the same, i'm assuming that there will be no problem and my email address is blocked in the admincp settings or at the server.


    I've been recieving emails from this forum to my email address for 8 years prior to the upgrade and i have proved beyond all doubt that its not the version of vbulltin preventing this.

    I've found when editing a post the Save button has stopped working on a few occasions and I have had to click Go Advanced and make the changes there before I'm able to submit them.
