New Site Errors, Bugs & Improvement Thread (version 4.0.5.)

Firstly, please only post errors and bugs and not "I get that too" thx

Bug:

Smiley Face Side Panel only displays some emotion icons...

 

[Ryan Callan]

The 'insert image' button gives me 'From Computer' and 'From Url'

 

[Warren Dawes]

This is what I see when I click that button.

BTW, I use IE8.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Oh, well.... you know what my answer to that is

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

There seems to be some issues with attachments in vbulletin 4. Depending on the browser you use it either works or not With Internet Explorer 8 its all fine, as with Firefox. Google Chrome browsers great (super fast) but has some issues with attachments from your computer. vBulletin scheduled a big update this week to patch the first big bugs and I hope that they will revert to the old attachments system that was super easy.

Fingers crossed

 

[Ryan Callan]

IE8 obviously isn't all fine Bram - Warren is using it.

Has anyone with IE8 been able to add an attacment from their own PC to their post??? Or is it just me, doing something wrong??

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

You are not doing anything wrong, the software still has some flaws that need to be fixed by the developer this month

 

[Eric. K]

and I would recommend to anyone to use Firefox or Chrome. IE8 is pretty behind in a lot of aspects to those 2... Chrome is ultra fast and light, but not 100% complete (it is very close).

What i dont like of Chrome is that all the WYSIGWY editor always uses Bbcode instead of visuals

Yes, it is still work in progress. However, given the entire Chromium OS is based on it, it should be fixed sooner or later.

 

[Warren Dawes]

OK, it must still be something from my end. I am now using Firefox and still the same thing, if I click the Insert Image button, I only get the option to add a URL. I checked my Forum Settings and couldn't see anything wrong.
If I try the Paperclip type image (under advanced) and click Add Files button, the option to "add files from your own computer" is not available, only add URL.

Beats me, never had this before and I don't have any problems adding files to other Forums. :boohoo:

I assume it is not a "priviliges" thing?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

aha i might got it now!! I have check your profile and by default your setting of the editor box was not set to WYSIGWY (full editor box like i am using) I was so free to change that, could you try again ?

Also try uploading by clicking on the Go Advanced button on the right bottom of the text box..

I hope its solved now

 

[Warren Dawes]

Bingo!!! Looks like it now works, thanks Bram.

Another lesson for me (and hopefully others???).



EDIT: Oops, now I see my image in the preview screen, but it only shows a link in the forum??

Edit2: After more testing, it is showing as a link in the Preview screen too, it only shows the image in the editing screen.

More testing.
Looks like it worked this time, but not sure why. This is a weird process, it now works if I use Insert Image, but I can't add any files using the Paper Clip option, it still won't let me select My Computer Files.

Geez, I hope this gets simplified somewhere along the line.

BTW: I'm back using IE8 again.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

yes this whole attachement system sucks big time, hopefully vbulletin does soemthing about it

 

[David Garcia]

I have found that the big size images (1024 pxls wide as an example) are not resized in a privatte message. Yesterday I sent a PM to Yves with 4 images and I noticed it. Not sure if somebody already mentioned it.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

i didnt know you could send images in a pm anyway Will see if that has been reported as a bug already

Good news: 2 official patches are coming this month

 

[David Garcia]

Well, using imageshack, not as an attachment.

 

[Michael Carver]

Search --- doesn't seem to be working. I tried to search a forum thread for "Mantorp" (Setups Touring Cars Race On) and got ZERO results. I had to manual scan each page of the thread to find the setups that Mantorp in the title.
