forum upgrade problems

[daBoss]

1. there seems to be reports coming in about firefox users cannot click on the smilies and the formatting buttons... funny that it doesn't happen to me... any one else?

2. also, i've enable the feature that keeps track of new posts (even after you log out)... so when you first click on 'new posts' you'll probably see everything as unread... i suggest you go to the main page of the forum and click on 'mark forums read' to reset everything for yourself... that way, it's easier for you to track the threads that you've read...

[athena]

[Sila]

Not sure if this is related to upgrade, I tried posting (click submit reply) and nothing happen, I thought this would be updated later but nothing... didn't not want to repost again, afraid if it shows up twice. Anyway, the post went missing.

It doesn't go missing, just dun show up on your own screen.

[Oddfather]

when I posted, it does go back to my post, like it used to but when I hit new posts, the thread which I just replied is not in the list of threads.

[Dino]

Ctrl + F5 not - F5.....kah..kah..kah....just kidding.
I am not sure then....try to upgrade your java version and see how....if cannot....i have to ask boss liao...:unsure:

For those of you hitting problem, try deleting your cache and try again.

For IE users:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Delete Files -> Tick "Delete all offline contents" -> OK

For Firefox users:
Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cache -> Clear Cache Now

For other browsers:
You got to find it out yourself :p

if I am busy & not reading the forum, it will log off.
Is that a feature of the new system?

[KoChun]

Is that a feature of the new system?
Yes. Not too sure of the time though, I think it's 15 mins. Shall wait for daBoss to confirm this.

[Voon Chan]

ok, at least I know nowYes. Not too sure of the time though, I think it's 15 mins. Shall wait for daBoss to confirm this.

Shouldn't be. Did you tick "Remember me" when you logged in?

[Voon Chan]

I think soShouldn't be. Did you tick "Remember me" when you logged in?

[JC]

I think so
Try it and let us know.

A feature to make sure you are always addicted to the forum...cannot be away for >15 mins?:squeeze:

[Voon Chan]

Thank you JCTry it and let us know.Shirlene, maybe what you are saying is true. As to addiction, I need to have more self control:)

[CaLz]

[Voon Chan]

CaLz, these people have been forumming for more than a year liao:squeeze:

[JC]

Let's keep this thread to post your problems.

Stop the chit-chat please. :)

[Voon Chan]

After reading the posting in the thread, I cannot find the post in the New Post if I click on it.
Is that another feature?

[JC]

Yes. That's affirmative.

[Chris C]

Yay........smilies working liao after I press ctrl+F5, like Dino said......:D

[Voon Chan]

The only 2 features that I like about the new system 1) it is faster & 2) all the smilies on my right

[dragoncity99]

Why cannot post text with HTML based one leh? :(

[JC]

What do you mean?

[daBoss]

if I am busy & not reading the forum, it will log off.

note that the 'remember me' is unticked as the default... so if you did not tick on 'remember me' and your session times out (as previously), you can consider that as a 'logout' since you'll have to log back in...

if you click on 'remember me' before you login, behaviour should be the same as before the upgrade...

[daBoss]

...guess what? cant edit posts too (thats why this new post is here). Hairan Bin Ajaib.
hmmm... are you sure you cannot edit your own posts? anyone else?

[SS2006]

Have them refresh the page using Ctrl + F5.
Possibly they have some old JavaScript code cached.

[daBoss]

hmm... this is very weird... can you show me the post where you're trying to edit? in the first place, is the edit button showing?

i have specifically set it such that users can modify their posts indefinitely... anyone else has this problem? please provide details so that i can troubleshoot...

[JC]

When you log in, make sure you tick the "remember me" checkbox. That should solve the problem

[monay]

thanks all :)

[daBoss]

yah... this is one small change that most people don't notice... in the old version, it's ticked by default... now, it's not ticked by default...

What do you mean?
Hi JC,

I can't post HTML tags loh. Let's say i wanna do a highlighted text at background of my text:

<html>
<p style="background-color: yellow"> My text goes here</p>
<html>

Tak boleh loh :(

[JC]

No HTML tags here. Use the [attributes] that you can find when writing a post.
An example of your HTML code:

[ COLOR="Yellow"]Your text go here[/COLOR ]

I suppose this is a security feature of vbulletin to disallow HTML injection.

So sad lah no HTML :crying:

Ok, thank u very much for the info JC. :)

[daBoss]

yes, i've disabled html... since day 1 when the forum started... too big a risk to allow that...

[Oddfather]

Are you able to extend the timeout to a longer period, say 30 mins istead of 15 mins?

[daBoss]

Are you able to extend the timeout to a longer period, say 30 mins istead of 15 mins?
yes (i believe i've seen a setting somewhere in the admin panel), but 15 mins is time tested in all forums... you don't want to have someone who didn't explicitly sign out to actually appear signed on for too long...

comments?

[Voon Chan]

why? yes (i believe i've seen a setting somewhere in the admin panel), but 15 mins is time tested in all forums... you don't want to have someone who didn't explicitly sign out to actually appear signed on for too long...

comments?

[SS2006]

why?
If never sign out, just close the web page same thing, rite? I never log off one.:worried:

[daBoss]

why?
before the guy has actually left the session?

[Voon Chan]

Boss can I request for 30 minutes too . Can or not?before the guy has actually left the session?

[Oddfather]

yes (i believe i've seen a setting somewhere in the admin panel), but 15 mins is time tested in all forums... you don't want to have someone who didn't explicitly sign out to actually appear signed on for too long...

comments?
in my case....I have another live application running and I am logged on the whole day. Sometimes I have to attend to work and it takes more than 15 mins. So I dun need to login again to the Forum. This will enable for me to track the Forum easily instead of having the Who's online page to prevent it from logging off.
If such option is available, then may I request it to be set to 30 mins??

[daBoss]

one question... with the new way the 'new post' list is being listed, is the 15 mins still a problem?

[Oddfather]

not a problem, I guess but have to relogin, thats the mah fun...

[Oddfather]

One other feature I really like is that when you edit post, it appears on the same page, together with other posts, and without the smileys...and the big space to type your message.......much easier and frenlier than the old one.

[daBoss]

not a problem, I guess but have to relogin, thats the mah fun...
andrew... that's not true... did you tick on the 'remember me' box when you log in? if so, even when you time out, you do have to re-login...

in the upgraded version, 'remember me' is unticked by default...

[WitchKing]

I can edit, can post smilies, dun auto log out...never faced any of these problems they said.

....re-edits work now, did the CTRL-F5 thingy. TQ.

If I post something using Quick Reply, I can't put in smiley. Even after posting and I edit, still cannot put in smiley. Previously, I think the smiley will appear during editing.

i'm fairly sure it's your browser... nothing to do with the server or the scripts...

[dragoncity99]

Ok daBoss, thank u very much for the advice :)

[alfred98]

This new version of forum really irritating. The lock in for few minutes, then stopped for awhile it locked out automatically. Just so fast it do it sharp sharp.
Can suggest the timing be extended like to 30 minutes or 60 minutes.. and don't say can relocked in again because the password is save in the site. For fire fox the password is not save but had to type each time...Can help here!!!

did you check the box "Remember me"?? if not, do that, and it will lock you in for 30 mins, I think. Otherwise, if you have to look at your misi for a long period of time, then put your page on Who's online....

[LiLiaN]

alfred, andrewh is right... you need to tick the box "remember me"...
that way, you can stay logged on for hours and it's still good...
threads that you have not read will continue to remain so...
unlike the old version where if you stay logged on and after 15 mins without activity (i think), they were automatically marked as read...

[alfred98]

I actually click remember me every time I lock in, but the computer doesn't seems to be remmembering the password...TQ...:)

[LiLiaN]

perhaps you should try CTRL+F5 to refresh the cache...
then the next time when you login, tick the box ahead of login...
