Found a Bug?

[Thinker]

BTW, I noticed that when I click on the .Net header forum (the one that takes you to the "subforum view" with the .Net categories i.e. Graphics, Window, language etc.), it has an option to post a new thread... where would this new thread go to or is it even supposed to be there?

This is a bit of a problem. Yes, it shows up on any subforum on

the assumption that a subforum is supposed to take posts. Even

though this one isn't supposed to, using this box will cause a

thread to be stored under this forum. But you can't see the

thread after that (unless you find it in the list of posts for your

username). Not sure if it can be fixed to first look if the forum is

supposed to take posts.

 

[edit]Never mind - was simple to fix just by setting one option for

the board from the control panel.[/edit]

Looks like that same issue exists for the Knowledge Base, too.

[Thinker]

Thanks - had just discovered it when you posted.

 

And on a bright note, the hack to make the Legacy Visual Basic

jump was really quite simple while I was fixing the other quick

jump hacks.

Been testing the mark this forum as read option on this version of

vBulletin, and so far, it has been working perfectly. Can't wait to

move visualbasicforum.com over to it too.

When I open this thread, there is a warning at the top of the page which says:

I'm not sure why this is just showing up here and not on the VB

forums, but it happens when a user has a 1969 signup date, and

has posted on a thread, and you have your timezone < -6. I am

not sure it is worth hunting down what exactly is happening as

long as we can just change the signup dates.

The privacy policy needs to be updated to reference this site.

I modified it, but not sure I have the names right. Bob will need

to check it out.

The member count may be right, but as for the other numbers,

well, let's just say .NET isn't THAT popular yet. :)

Badge, the test user, shows up in the Forum Leaders page.

In RT, the "I hate VB.NET" thread shows ericgamer47 as the last

replier, and so does the forum itself. The thread says it has 6

replies, but I only see five, the last one being by Robby. Yes, I

refreshed the thread several times.

That's what happens when a post is deleted/moved. There are quite

a few of those errors around the forum.

[Thinker]

It isn't an error, it is a feature. ;) We strip junk posts off of

threads all the time, and it has always done this.

[Bucky]

Oh... guess I haven't been observant enough in the past.

 

It makes me wonder what else I'm missing... :)

[Iceplug]

Speaking of missing, what's going on with the Web Forms sub forum of the Active Pages .Net sub forum of the Language Specific sub forum of .Net... http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/images/blue/vb_bullet.gif according to the previous sub forum, it says that there are two posts there, but I fail to see either... were those deleted too?

(also wanted to try out the button link ^^^ go ahead and click the image )

[wyrd]

I see them both...

 

http://www.xtremedotnettalk.com/t47033.html

[Thinker]

I see them too. However, for some strange reason, when I click

on the link to go to that forum (using the virtual forum url), all the

images fail to load.

[AWS]

"All the images fail to load"

 

Are you using ie6 service pack1?

There is a known issue with sp1 and missing gifs.

[Volte]

I believe the problem is with using styles that don't fully support

the hack, or something. I think it's looking for images in

 

dotnetforums.com/f11/images/

 

for example.

[Thinker]

I am guessing Volte is right because I am using Lite With Blue on

this forum rather than BlueVelvet. I expect if I was using a style

with the virtual URLs, it would work. And it is only when clicking

Bucky's link.

 

Of course, I am using IE6 SP1 too, so you never know. ;)

 

[edit]Yeah, changed to BlueVelvet and images come up.[/edit]

I checked with Bob last night, and he says it's still the SP1 issue. I have the same problem with other styles; fortunately, I use BlueVelvet. :)

[Iceplug]

I use BlueVelvet too... hmm... lebb, you're not red? :)

Remember that the user statuses here are a snapshot of the statuses on EVBF when this forum was created. Obviously Lebb hasn't been promoted here yet.

Never mind... I didn't change the view last posts date. :p

[lebb]

Remember that the user statuses here are a snapshot of the statuses on EVBF when this forum was created. Obviously Lebb hasn't been promoted here yet.

Also, while the leadership of EVBF at the time of E.NF's creation got to keep their roles if they wanted, the two sites will each have distinct sets of leaders/mods/admins, so having a leadership role on one site doesn't necessarily mean that the same will apply for the other.

[lebb]

Hmm... this is odd. After replying to this thread, I notice that it is marked as unread. I tried reopening the thread, and also marking the forum as read, but in all cases the thread still shows as unread. No big deal, I just thought it was strange. Anyone have a clue why this would happen?

 

[edit] Well, after testing for a bit, it seems due to the "Automatically login when you return to the site?" setting in user options. Not quite the behavior I'd expected, but at least I know how to resolve it now. :)[/edit]
