Site Maintenance: Oct 21 2013

Elo's got the right of it. It was an unrelated change, but needed nonetheless. Sorry for the inconvenience!

 

[Jeryn Lekar]

So uh, I get this when I hit my bookmark for the forums:

Spoiler

This isn't normal! D: But when I enter a forum part it looks like normal, wat do? :P Is it something wrong with my browser settings or something else? :c

 

[Siera al'Cere]

That has been happening to me too. I just close the window and reopen it and it resets itself.

 

[Jeryn Lekar]

I've removed cookies, hard refreshed the page, still nothing. :<

 

[Azi al'Thone]

You'll have to clear your browsers cache. In Firefox Options, go to Advanced, Network tab, "Cached Web Content", "Clear Now". Then, browse to http://www.tarvalon.net. (Note the difference between http:// and https://).

 

[Jeryn Lekar]

That worked, thank you sir. /me tips his hat.

 

[Amarande al'Kalin]

I can no longer seem to change the post/thread title where I have Mod access (I mostly noticed this today when trying to mark readiness of Shaoman events in the topic titles on the OAT board).

It worked just ducky yesterday, though ...

 

[Kelgan al'Moranwin]

Is it letting you access the "Edit Thread" UI at all or just telling you that you can't do that when you try to save your changes?

 

[Azi al'Thone]

Upgrade is complete. Let's see if it fixed us.

 

[Amarande al'Kalin]

Kelgan, yesterday when I clicked "Edit Post" it would include an editbox for the post title in the editor (and would also change the thread title itself when saved if it was the first post).

Now there's only the editbox for the post body, and the title is merely static text that has no editbox at all. (This appears to still be being the case now that the upgrade has been completed, too.)

This has always been the case. You have to edit the thread and the post separately.

Whatever you did, it made my enter key and all of my text alterations work again. Yay!! It's been months without being able to use them on IE.

I am happy.

I figured out that issue -- you need to change the rendering engine that IE renders the page in. Setting it to use IE 9 standards worked for me. "Compatibility Mode" may also work.

so before the update, a double click of the forum icon would mark the forum as read, post update, this feature no longer works.can we please have this back? *sad puppy dog face here*

Same as when i'm in 'advanced posting'.. etc. I'm using Opera. (only Browser that my computer isn't breaking..)

 

[Alora Sionn]

Also when you hit advanced search as I accidently did just now on the top of the screen above the tv.net banner it says this;

Warning: Declaration of vBForum_Item_SocialGroupMessage::getLoadQuery() should be compatible with that of vB_Model::getLoadQuery() in ..../packages/vbforum/item/socialgroupmessage.php on line 21

I didn't even realize this was a Thing I'll see what I can do. Can you make sure you are using http:// and not https://?

Try clearing cache and logging out then logging back in. Let me know how that goes...

:desk :desk :desk Thanks. I'll look into it.


I'm going to open a thread in Ask the White Tower for reporting bugs.

 

[Taika Vinh]

Sorry, probably a dumb question, but I'm confused... which one should we be using now, http:// or https:// ?

 

[Azi al'Thone]

For now, please continue to use http://. The enhanced text editors vBulletin uses are having issue with HTTPS in some scenarios. I've got a support ticket in and I'm going to do some XTREME debugging when I get some time.
