    Yo Short One,

    I did not see this posted as a bug, so here goes:

    I hit reply to a post tonight but I was not logged in, so I received the log in screen. I logged in and received the attached error message. I believe this was happening on the old icrontic forum too.

    That is a Vbulletin bug which Jelsoft have promised to fix with the new release of VB.. version 3 :) We shall be upgrading as soon as a final release is available.

    That is a limitation of the hack used. This is only temporary until the newest version of VB (see previous post). The core functionality you see here that I hacked into the board is already a default in the new VB. I just didn't want to deliver you guys a board without a few nice touches until a new release of the software was available. So I hacked it to the very best I could until the new release arrives to all VB subscribers.

    VBulletin 3 has been a long time in production but the number of functions it provides over the existing version (2.3.0) is immense. Looking forward to upgrading to that in the next 2 months :)

    Does this mean that posts are dissapearing into the unknown?

    No :) The hack is unable to determine the last thread posted on. It can however detect the last poster. That is why the poster name changes but the thread title does not.

    It's a purely visual issue with subforums stacking on the forums homepage. Nothing more.

    Aha,

    Now it makes sense. Had a look in the Linux, BSD & other OS subforum and sure enough, there is a post from EMT. :aol:

    There were 4 posts since my last visit, but there were not 4 (new?) threads. Is the thread count supposed to be the # of new threads, or the number posted in?

    I don;t klnow if this is a probelm or not or whether its my browser's fault or not. I'm running Opera 7.10. When not logged in I see a forum link I want to post on so instead of loging in I hit the post reply button and then get taken to a login screen. After filling in my name and password I get taken to a page that says No specified article has been chosen, Instead of being taken to a reply to post page. It used to work but now I just get The no article specified page. Any thoughts?

    MrBill posted about that in this thread. Its first post on this page at least for me.

    It will do that to me too if I am not logged in but once I am and using cookies it works fine.

    There are few bugs in VB 2.3.0.. I have just grabbed the public beta of VB 3.0.0. VERY impressive. Very feature packed and totally awesome. Soon alot of the old bugs will dissapear :)

    Can't wait to upgrade!

    dunno if this is on here yet, but I still get the same problem I had @ icrontic where if I type a quick reply and hit post without logging in first, it makes me log in (which is expected) but then comes back with the "no thread specified" error... :banghead: :aol:

    its nojt so much a bug, but the edge of the forum closed button doesn't really match the forum colours.... might look better if it was made transparent with the background or something ;)

    it looks alright on this background, but on the blue at the bottom it doesn't.

    There is also another bug. The forum can't display more than 3 nested quotes without screwing them up.

    With reference to the main page, I thought I might point out the time is one hour behind for 'LONDON'.
  • ShortyShorty Manchester, UK Icrontian
    edited June 2003
    Yep ;) I did mention that to the coders earlier ..hehehe

    Oh good, I was starting to think that London had a different time zone to the rest the UK.

    I was thinking about driving down there, just so I could get an extra hour out of the day.:)

    When I clicked on that link I was able to see the log in boxes. I guess my cookies didnt work for some reason. I know I wont have problems posting this but I would have to log in if I were to post in that thread after clicking that link.

    Why would I have to log on after clicking a link?
