Bugs & Settings Problems - report here


I'm totally new to vBulletin so if there is something that you see isn't working the way it is suppose to or doesn't work like it did on the old board, let me know in here so I can get to work on fixing it.

[B4AU]

has anyone figured out how to put up your avatar yet?

[limsol45]

has anyone figured out how to put up your avatar yet?

No Tried to but i couldnt post it. Only a profile picture

[TrickyD]

I'll check that out in a couple minutes, I must have somehow disabled them

[TrickyD]

Ok, give avatars a try again please and report back

[snelts]

Except for you. I tried uploading one and it didnt work. I guess you're not allowing that?

[TrickyD]

I'm not positive. I know you can now link to one, b4au just did. As for uploaded, if you can't right now then I don't know.

I love this quick reply thing...

[Wooly]

I can't get my avatar to link, it says it's too large. It's the same avatar as before, and shouldn't the forum just shrink it? Am I an idiot here.

[TrickyD]

I'm not sure if the forum software is smart enough to resize it itself or now. If need be I can resize it for you if it wont let you. I'll just in the control panel quick and see what the options are regarding that

[TrickyD]

Yep 20,000bytes is the default upload limit on avatars and 80x80 is the default size limit so they will have to be shrunk to be able to show up.

I miss Jebus :blues:

[KILL3R]

I miss Jebus :blues:


hahahaha... i need a jebus picture too.. lol... jebus is awesome...

[Ploogz]

Tricky I noticed you can't edit a post after five minutes. Something you set up for control?
And I was reading the faq and they were talking about edited words (i.e. ****) is there a way you and the mod can set that up fo ra ll the swear words?
God knows I can swear with the best of them... could really save me grief :biggrin:

lol.... i dont know if your on my level of swearing just yet ploooooogz....

[wolverine318]

Is there a way to turn off thread subscription?

I like the feature, (for those who dont know what it is it is basically a thread watch, subsribe to the thread, go to your conrol panel and the thread will be there for quick access) but i dont want to have to choose to not subscribe each thread i post in. I know i will have a millino threads in my cp lol.

just a question, opinion i guess

[SoJon]

ya you can, in your options you can turn thread subscription off, i believe

my question, can we change the font color default on our posts, like before? or do we have to change it everytime

[wolverine318]

thank you sojon, i totally missed that in the options, i guess i should have took my time and read better.

[Southpaw]

Is there a way to set your text color or font permanantly without having to change it on each reply?

[TrickyD]

Yep I have it set up for 5 minutes so that someone can't go back and delete something they said hours ago if they decide they don't like what they said.

I think it'll just reduce confusion

[TrickyD]

Is there a way to set your text color or font permanantly without having to change it on each reply?
Haven't figured that one out yet if there is a way.

Or perhaps I disabled it. I'll go diggin

[cmq]

Tricky, I think I speak for everyone when I say....

You suck, this forum is horrible, and I hope you die a painful death.

[SoJon]

Haven't figured that one out yet if there is a way.

Or perhaps I disabled it. I'll go diggin
oh i see...
youll answer southpaw, but not me when i ask the same question

thats it, im gonna hack the board :D

[RollBama1237]

Quick question.........

Is there any way at all to space out your posts (i.e. make columns)??

I've played with this for 10 minutes now and I haven't figured out any way to put more than 1 space in between characters.

[RollBama1237]

Oh, and just 1 more question.......

Is it possible to load up those light bulbs onto the site, that tells whether a member is on or offline?? Just out of curiosity....

This board rocks!

[limsol45]

have you figured out how to do the font color yet without changing it everytime? :unclesam: usa!

[Southpaw]

I cant get my options to stop subscribing me to every thread I post in.

I go to options/move it to "dont subscribe"/click update settings, and it wont save it.

What am I doing wrong?

[Ploogz]

Trying the don't subcribe option.

[Ploogz]

I cant get my options to stop subscribing me to every thread I post in.

I go to options/move it to "dont subscribe"/click update settings, and it wont save it.

What am I doing wrong?
Clicked it three f'ing times....
and lo and behold it was back to "Subcribe to thread without email notifaction"

I'm with you what did I do wrong.

[Wooly]

Well, I know it's nit picking, but I really liked the lightbulb above the handle in the old forum that showed who was active at the time...I like it more than the indicator in this new forum.

What do you think, can we switch it? Does anyone else care/agree. :smile:

[SwampMonkey]

I never paid attention to lightbulbs on the old board but the indicator here is right there under your post. Light for online and dark for offline.

Graphics could be changed i'm sure. It's just a question of whether or not one of our resident graphics designers(if we have any) wants to do it.

yeah same goes for the forum colors. I originally set it up to have teh same color scheme as the old board, but the purple buttons remained so it made it look rather silly.

As for changing that to lightbulbs, I'm sure it is possible, but how far I'd have to dig, I'm not sure. I'll look tomorrow though.

The no subscribe thing only seems to work for me when i do quick replies. Have tried it any other way yet though.

No idea on post color yet.

well it is in a new place, but you got your lightbulbs back

[xGHFBx]

I know this is "nit picking" too.. But we need some multi-color smilies!!! Just check out the smilies at http://insiders3.ezboard.com/bcollege.showEmoticonsHelp


Actually, steal them :devil:

[SoJon]

in the bottom right
forum jump...
can you move ncaa general discussion above the strategies section like it used to be
its just one of those things that takes me like a 10th of a second longer to find.... needs to be changed :D

and at the top left...
utopia forums > off topic > bugs and issues

that area needs some color so i can find it faster...
man im picky arent I

[SwampMonkey]

I havent experienced any problems with the unsubscribe thing. It's worked for me when I changed it.

[Wooly]

well it is in a new place, but you got your lightbulbs back

Thank you governor, much obliged...I can see that you are a scholar and a gentleman!

[TrickyD]

I've also just done away with the 5 minute rule on editing posts.

You can now edit your posts at any time. There were a lot of disadvantages to the way I originally set that up.

[B4AU]

I cant get my options to stop subscribing me to every thread I post in.

I go to options/move it to "dont subscribe"/click update settings, and it wont save it.

What am I doing wrong?
i am having the same problem also. i change it and hit submit modification and when i go back and check it it us right bact to subscribe instead of unsubscribe.

[Wooly]

Here's another nitpicking thing, but I think worth it. I really liked the way your quotes were in a different colored box on the old forum, can we do something like that here. I think it's easier to read and follow the old way.

that i must honestly say I have zero idea how to do

[SwampMonkey]

I see what ya'll was talkin' 'bout.

Regardless of what it says though i'm not getting subbed to anything anymore so whatever I did worked.
:)

[SwampMonkey]

that i must honestly say I have zero idea how to do
That's always a good answer :biggrin:

I've been saying that alot this semester :laugh:

[cmq]

that i must honestly say I have zero idea how to do
Yeah, I can probably take a look at that, if Tricky would be so kind as to send the board's PHP files my way. I agree with you, the old quote method was far cleaner than this one.

[SwampMonkey]

Yeah, I can probably take a look at that, if Tricky would be so kind as to send the board's PHP files my way. I agree with you, the old quote method was far cleaner than this one.

I think the only diff. is that the quoted text in IB was placed in a white table box.

[TrickyD]

Yeah, I can probably take a look at that, if Tricky would be so kind as to send the board's PHP files my way. I agree with you, the old quote method was far cleaner than this one.
cmq, just look down at the bottom of the forum and you'll see the admincp control panel. That has access to all the files I'm pretty sure.

So all you guys are looking for is changing the background color of quotes right?

[TrickyD]

I think the only diff. is that the quoted text in IB was placed in a white table box.
Yeah it seems pretty trivial to me, but we can look at it. I think the indentation and horizontal bars seperate them pretty well.

[xGHFBx]

But not nearly as cool looking. I like the new quote format, mabey because I've seen it in like 100 forums I've belong to.

edit: this was a reply to cmq, I like the two bars.

[SwampMonkey]

cmq, just look down at the bottom of the forum and you'll see the admincp control panel. That has access to all the files I'm pretty sure.

So all you guys are looking for is changing the background color of quotes right?

I would assume that's what they're talkin' about. That's the only difference I see between the IB and VB quotes.

[RollBama1237]

Tricky, have you figured out how to make more than 1 space between characters??

[TrickyD]

Tricky, have you figured out how to make more than 1 space between characters??
no i don't have any idea on that one. I don't even see an option that says it does that. Might just be built in

[RollBama1237]

no i don't have any idea on that one. I don't even see an option that says it does that. Might just be built in
Meh, that sucks......they do the same thing on a lot of other boards as well.

*Sigh*.....ah well, I'll figure something out to do on my dynasty.

[SwampMonkey]

Might have to ask someone at VB about that one.

Could do it with HTML but that's off(and that's a good thing).

I'm going to head over to the vBulletin forum and ask about both the spacing, subscription, and quote issues right now.

Swamp, it is pretty amusing going through the admiCP menus. Every time I come across something that says "enable HTML" it always says "STRONGLY not recommended" haha

Yeah, you'd open the door to all kinds of trouble :)

According to the "gurus" over at vBulletin, what I've done here is the easiest thing to do with quotes.

Better or worse?

[TrickyD]

Better or worse? Testing the quote feature again

[SwampMonkey]

Testing the quote feature again

What did you do to it?

[TrickyD]

What did you do to it? There are two different areas I can modify it from. What looked better, the red text or the white background? I'm leaning towards the red

[SwampMonkey]

The red was good.

I think it stands out better with the white background though.

[TrickyD]

The red was good.

I think it stands out better with the white background though. I'm torn on the white background. I like the actual red text, but not too crazy about the white

[RollBama1237]

Did these same "gurus" give you an answer to my question?

I have a feeling it just comes with the territory......

[TrickyD]

I'm torn on the white background. I like the actual red text, but not too crazy about the white ahh I like that. Is that a winner perhaps?

[TrickyD]

Did these same "gurus" give you an answer to my question?

I have a feeling it just comes with the territory...... sorry bud, no replies on yours yet

[RollBama1237]

ahh I like that. Is that a winner perhaps? Nice.......

I would suggest either one or the other (either white and keep font black, or leave it how it is now). Red font looks fine, though.

Dos thumbs up!

*EDIT* - WTF?? Why did my font turn red too?? lol....

[TrickyD]

*EDIT* - WTF?? Why did my font turn red too?? lol.... Sorry, I should stop playing with it.

How's this? This is how I think I'll leave it

[RollBama1237]

Sorry, I should stop playing with it.

How's this? This is how I think I'll leave it That's perfect man......

Just stop messing with my head!!!! LOL

[SwampMonkey]

:cool: :cool:

[HuskersNeb07]

is putting the quotes in the boxes no longer possible? i kind of prefer it, but now that it's a different color from other font it's a little better

[TrickyD]

is putting the quotes in the boxes no longer possible? i kind of prefer it, but now that it's a different color from other font it's a little better Sorry I keep tinkering. I actually think I like just the horizontal bars in red best of all.

Don't think I can get a table in there again, but I'll see what I can do

[Maize]

I didn't like the all red but this looks cool

[TrickyD]

I'll be darn... Guess I could get the boxes back. We'll just go with those.

[Maize]

I'll be darn... Guess I could get the boxes back. We'll just go with those. Yeah, that's cool

[Wooly]

Tricky, I love the old color background back, and I love the white boxes back. Thanks! :smile:

[SwampMonkey]

This is lookin' good :cool:

Thought I was at the old board there for a moment...but I didn't see any goatse or bukkake(sp?) so that was the giveaway :tounge: :laugh:

[Maize]

Ha, same here. I was like "Where is the link to the new board?" :tounge:

[TrickyD]

"No, it's the way HTML works."

[wolverine318]

it looks like the subscription thing has a bug or something. You change it, but it changes itself back again. hmmm

what are you guys talking about the spaces? :rock:

[TrickyD]

it looks like the subscription thing has a bug or something. You change it, but it changes itself back again. hmmm

what are you guys talking about the spaces? :rock: Yeah I have a support ticket pending on the thread subscriptions thing, hopefully they'll get back to me sometime today about that.

As for spaces, right now I am typing with three spaces between every word, but it wont show up this way

[wolverine318]

[SoJon]

forum looks great... much better than it did a few days ago...

also, the quote boxes on my screen cut off a little bit of the quote on the right side, anyone else have this problem... resolution 1024 x 768

[TrickyD]

Anyone else seen that?

[SoJon]

Yeah I have a support ticket pending on the thread subscriptions thing, hopefully they'll get back to me sometime today about that.

As for spaces, right now I am typing with three spaces between every word, but it wont show up this way on this quote on my screen... when wolv quoted you

how it says "sometimes... bla bla bal"
the times is cut off, the white box just keeps going and going off the screen

also, it doesnt do it on all of them, when you just quoted me, i could see it fine... but then again it wasnt a long quote either could be the reason

[TrickyD]

My only thought was that I was playing around with spacing on that quote, perhaps that messed it up for you.

[SoJon]

but then again it wasnt a l(half of the o)
quote either could be the reason

[cmq]

Tricky, I can fix the spacing and the dropdown issue if you want. "That's the way HTML works" is sort of true, but smart forum software can replace doubled-up spaces with "   "....

If they don't get back to you with an easy fix, I can make it happen.

[TrickyD]

If they don't get back to you with an easy fix, I can make it happen. sounds good, as soon as I can figure out how to get you access into this stuff we'll be good to go.

I think I might have to enter your name into the config.php file, that is my next try anyway

[TrickyD]

Testing again

Lets see if this works

[TrickyD]

there is a temporary work around.

Use the vbCode

[ code]type with spaces[/code ]

[SoJon]

cool, im glad that worked
new problem with the smilleys

:oh: :oops:

see...

[TrickyD]

cool, im glad that worked
new problem with the smilleys

:oh: :oops:

see... ouch good call. I do believe I probably screwed that up when I loaded in the old ikonboard smilies.

I'll get on that in a few hours

[KILL3R]

What if we get some new smilies.... Smilies can really make or break a board... lol... What is a post without the little guys...

[TrickyD]

What if we get some new smilies.... Smilies can really make or break a board... lol... What is a post without the little guys... I'll consider adding some more once I get the current ones fixed

[KILL3R]

I'll consider adding some more once I get the current ones fixed

cool sounds good... how about lowering this every 40 second stuff too... i know why? but i dont really think it is needed to much anymore... maybe 20 or 25 seconds or something.....

[OU-11]

cool sounds good... how about lowering this every 40 second stuff too... i know why? but i dont really think it is needed to much anymore... maybe 20 or 25 seconds or something.....
25 secs like the old board please.:smile:

[Maize]

25 secs like the old board please.:smile:

I agree 40 seconds is too much

[KILL3R]

thanks for the support guys

[TrickyD]

I agree 40 seconds is too much post whores :)

[Maize]

That's not whoring, I have run into the wait 40 seconds thing way too much. I hope it is lowered to 25 seconds because it's bugging the crap out of me.

I have cable so I live my internet life in the fast lane and this 40 second thing is holding me back, lol.

[maniacpilot931]

Is it just me or is it almost impossible to get to the other ncaa sections like recruiting and strategies and stuff. those boards are up in the utopia forums>ncaa_whatever. you have to go to Utopia forums>ncaa general then click up at the top to ncaa forums. if im wrong sorry about that.

What a post whore :glare:

[TrickyD]

What a post whore :glare: I was just messing with you man lol

Anyway, I believe I have fixed the smilies, the only problem is that it screwed up all the smilies posted up until now.

Let me know if they provide any problems from here on out.

Also, still working on the thread subscriptions problem, but post counts have now been removed.

[Mr. Tennessee]

Yep I have it set up for 5 minutes so that someone can't go back and delete something they said hours ago if they decide they don't like what they said.

I think it'll just reduce confusion Yep I have it set up for 5 minutes so that someone can't go back and delete something they said hours ago if they decide they don't like what they said.

I think it'll just reduce confusion oops that was me a few times....

[Mr. Tennessee]

btw some of the smileys are not showing up on mine, is taht just me or is that everyone else?

[Mr. Tennessee]

forum looks great... much better than it did a few days ago...

also, the quote boxes on my screen cut off a little bit of the quote on the right side, anyone else have this problem... resolution 1024 x 768 yes i have this problem also

[Carth]

Edit: ignore this post. /kungfu

[TrickyD]

not sure what happened with the smilies. I'll work on that tomorrow...

little quirks ive noticed.

ill come to the forum and threads i havent ever read or looked at will be shown as old.

also threads i have looked at will be marked as read, then i leave and come back and they are marked as unread, even with no changes to them.

maybee it is a setting for me. i dont know

[SoJon]

danno also mentioned the words trailing off the right side in the janie something thread

*refresh settings fixed

maybee it is a setting for me. i dont know I'm pretty sure that it doesn't track old/new threads by when you viewed them, but by the last time you visited the board. That's why I try to only visit the board when I intend to read the messages and respond, otherwise it flags all posts up until the point I visit as "read".

[cmq]

danno also mentioned the words trailing off the right side in the janie something thread

also ive noticed, this board doesnt refresh well
like ill post something, go to the main forum and it doesnt show
then i hit refresh and then it shows most of the time...
it should refresh as soon as i hit forum jump... but it doenst

*like just after i posted this, i went to the top of the screen and hit off topic forum... and it didnt show up as me having posted something new I never have problems, must be some cache settings on your browser.

That's why I try to only visit the board when I intend to read the messages and respond, otherwise it flags all posts up until the point I visit as "read". But still, i posted in this thread, and viewed SoJon's reply later, after i viewed his reply i hit the "utopia forums" link at the bottom, to see the main forum page. I then click on off topic forum and it showed this thread as read.

i close my browser because i am done. later i come back, SoJon is the last post, which ive read, which it marked as read. and now it says i havent read it.

also, the only threads/forums it marks as read when i dont are the madden ones.

[TrickyD]

Just testing out some smilies

:) :p

[TrickyD]

Testing again
