I'm not sure. We have the New posts feature & the Control Panel link gives you recent posts to subscribed threads.

Nope. If a post had been added to a thread between the time you loaded the 'Post Reply' window, and the time you submitted your reply, the PHPBB script would automatically notify you. Does this vBulletin installation have this function?

[What Exit?]

That's not what she means. On Domebo, if you were typing out a response, and you hit "submit reply" and somebody replied to the thread after you began your response but before you attempted to post it, then you could see it. This cut down on simul-posts, and also gave you the chance to address the newest post before submitting. I really like that option, and I'd like to see it here, too, if possible.

OK, gotcha, I have not found that yet for vB. It is not built in. If you find a vB 3.8 mod on their sight and link it to me, I will seriously consider installing it.

[Sarahfeena]

My PM box is now saying full (says I can have a max of only 50).

Fixed, Global Moderators was not set correctly. Now 2000.

[Feirefiz]

Perhaps you could add a more obvious notice on Domebo that the whole board with all posts and users has been moved. Someone who hasn't followed the whole discussion might not realize that nothing has been lost and that they aren't expected to register for a successor board that is only distantly related.

Good idea. I did change the name of ADF to
Domebo is replaced by www.mellophant.com

I'll try to do more.

Title is now changed in Prosilver and a link to the here at the top.
Subsilver is really changed. That is 65% of our members. I disabled ProDark and Maxthon

In chat when one brings up the command line and clicks on the "picture" button and it asks for a URL, that's a hotlink isn't it? Maybe no hotlinks would be a good idea.

Not sure why. We allowed imaged on old board, is that what you meant or something else?

The RSS feed contains the logo for elmwood's own board.

We'll need elmwood to look at that. I did not even RSS was already up.

Well you don't have to put in an image tag to get something to show up, you can just put in the URL that contains the picture. That's leeching and isn't always considered cool.

Good point, we've been doing that for 6 months though.

[Exy]

Good point, we've been doing that for 6 months though.

That's been something I've worried about a little. I think our traffic is small enough that it doesn't really matter. For obvious reasons, a lot of big forums are real hardasses about leeching. We're not among them as yet, though.

It is good manners to save images and use a service like ImageShack or whatever. It's worth thinking about especially if you're getting them from somewhere that might be small and not have tons of bandwidth.

[Sarahfeena]

Thanks for the head's up on this, guys. I was wondering about it, but wasn't sure.

[Feirefiz]

I tried to use the search in the chat archives and got database errors.

[hamburglar]

"Show the Chatbox" is marked yes. Something else I need to do?

I can't find this option anywhere in my profile. Can someone give me a road map?

ETA: I found it. It wasn't where I was looking before. It's under Control Panel, Settings and Options, Edit Options, in the Miscellaneous Options section, right below "User customizations", in case anyone else is looking for it.

[kk fusion]

Is the 'Customize Profile' function working? That way I wouldn't have to bother you with requests for more themes.

[Sleeps w/Butterflies]

baleted!

[TheFlame]

Chat doesn't work on my iPhone. Any iPhone users here able to view it?

pepperlandgirl is successfully chatting on her iPhone. Maybe you can PM her for some advice?

[Sarahfeena]

TheFlame, I can't view live chat (or post to it) on my Blackberry, either, but I figured out that if I click on "Archive" right above it, I can see a pretty much up-to-the-minute log of it. Keep hitting refresh and you can follow it a bit.

Moderator note: I did too, this needs to be looked at.

I'm not sure, I haven't looked at it yet.

[Sarahfeena]

I just noticed that my Sent Messages folder isn't showing anything sent since Wednesday. My Inbox shows everything I've recieved though. Weird.

There is an option in the Control panel under Edit options then Private messaging box look for: Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default

[Sarahfeena]

OK, thanks, Jim!

This is on but someone needs to play with it and report back.

[Cartooniverse]

I consider it a major problem, as well. I'm usually pretty good about checking my email, but there are other times when I can't for whatever reason, even though I'm still looking at the board.

Also, being logged out for inactivity could get very annoying very fast (it happened to me too).

DONE

What does DONE mean? That you have addressed this issue? I just re-registered an hour or so ago, have been posting. And have been logged out several times for inactivity. And I do not think it's been 20 minutes.

Maddening. If we are, for example, composing a post or reply that is thoughtful, requires research, links and so on, we likely will be inactive for 20 minutes. Please change this to something more indicative of a member walking away- say, 60 minutes of inactivity.

Thank you,

It means I screwed up, the first part was done and I did not notice the Time Out part. I'll take a look.

Wait, you're getting logged out for inactivity all the time? I'm not. I suspect the problem is on your end. I didn't have to log in this morning or anything. Are you sure you checked the "remember me" box when you logged on?

Fixed to 3600 seconds from 1200. Next time you reload the new cookie should take if you still have problems. Delete the cookie and sign back in, but signing out should delete the cookie for you.

[Myrnalene]

Is there a way to reply to a PM and have that reply go to all parties copied on the original? I only see a "reply" button and it seems to only reply to the party that sent it.

I'm looking for some PM tools. We also lost the ability to PM to a group.

I do not see a reply to all. I just checked the Dope does not have Reply to all either. Hopefully I find something.

[Sylkyn]

Viewing avatars seems to be disabled by default. It's on the CP, 'Edit Options' => 'Thread Display Options'.

I must be missing something. I changed my options to be able to see avatars, but I still can't unclick the "no avatar" button for myself, and so can't upload mine. What am I doing wrong?

[What Exit?]

What happens, exactly, when you try uploading it?

[Sylkyn]

Sorry--I have a sick puppy here and had to clean up a mess.

Well, let me try again and see if it works. Before, it wouldn't let me unclick the box to where I could upload. In other words..nothing happened!

ETA: Ok, thanks, What Exit? The option to upload was there when I went back. Thanks again!

[kk fusion]

Not yet working. I can save and preview correctly, but it has no effect on the live boards.

[Orual]

The wide green bars at the beginning of ever post are really interfering with the readability of thread for me. Is there any way to get rid of them?

(I don't know if this belongs in its own thread. Sorry if it does.)

DONE - Date format changed so the wide green bars disappear.

It does and it will get looked at, hopefully soon. elmwood and CIAS are working on the styles.


Interesting, I think it is just the date formatting.

[Zuul]

Oops, looks like What Exit? (I called him the thread? WTH?) already answered that one while I was typing this.

What he said!

[Myglaren]

I was about to whinge on about the quick post box having gone missing but it was because I wasn't logged in anymore [img]http://www.mellophant.com/forums/ima...s/sm_smack.gif[/img] Clicking the smilies doesn't work, I have to drag them into the post! * Clicking the formatting buttons doesn't work either http://www.mellophant.com/forums/ima...lies/frown.gif Hitting Enter to create a new paragraph is buggered too. Also, clickling isn't a word. Can you fix that as well? *Which clearly went as well as one might expect Could this be a problem with SeaMonkey?

[Myglaren]

Trying it in "A Web Browser" (Shiretoko/Firefox 3.5x)

Buttons seem to work



Images work!

Smilies work.

Formatting seems OK

~~~~~Must just be SeaMonkey then.~~~~

Ignore the above, false alarm

[Chicken Toes]

I can't add an avatar. Do I need a certain number of posts before I am allowed to do that?

[Myrnalene]

Toes, what happens when you go to Control Panel - Settings and Options - Edit Avatar and click on the button that says Use Custom Avatar? You should be able to upload something there.

[Chicken Toes]

Well, I'm having a hell of a time. No chat, no title and no avatar.
Yes, I went to the CP, and Edit Avatar. The avatar box is blank, and the radio button for "Do Not Use Avatar" is clicked, and won't let me unclick it. I allowed images and avatars in options, so I don't know what the problem is.

That same thing with the avatars happened to someone else, and What Exit? clicked something or other and they could upload one. Try sending him a PM if he doesn't notice this thread.

[Chicken Toes]

I'm about ready to say screw it.
You guys have deleted my account twice from Domebo, I had to re-register here, now I'm blocked from chat, can't upload an avatar.

I don't know if it's worth my time.

[Myrnalene]

I'll send Jim a PM. There must be something weird going on but I'm sure he can fix it.

He's on every day so you shouldn't have to wait long.

[Inner Stickler]

What if you try clearing your cache?

Come on, Chicken Toes. You know I love you and am saying this from a place of love: Be cool. We just switched over to this new spot. The bugs are not all worked out as yet. Post five messages and you can see chat, apparently. (I wouldn't know since they banned me from it due to my being a troublemaker.) Jim will fix your avatar thing. It'll all be fine.

[Myrnalene]

(pssst Exy she's got 10 posts, she should be able to see it)

It must be a glitch, it'll get worked out. I let What Exit? know.

I have a slight issue with the new chat function. It wasn't doing this yesterday.

This is what it looks like when loading chat, everything seems normal:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2549/...57baae5eec.jpg

But the grey "loading" box doesn't make room for the chat box:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2542/...42fc6dbe7b.jpg
As you can see, it overflows over the interface and further down the browser. Now, I am using an ancient version of Firefox so it is probably my fault, but just letting it be known.

Try updating Firefox or use Opera or Maxthon.
