vBulletin Problems and/or Suggestions

[Kevin]

If you experience any problems with, or have any suggestions for the new vBulletin board, please let us know by posting here.

If the problem is you can't log in due to the email used on your account is no longer accessible, then shoot me an email with details of your account, kevin@pokemasters.net

[Saffire Persian]

Well for one thing, you aren't allowing us to use the [img] [/img] tags in our signatures. XD.. and some of the posts seem to be out of order.. At lest in my banner shop it is. XD...

This'll take some time to get used to, but, it's all good.

Edit : Actually, maybe it just deleted some of the newer posts. o.0

[mr_pikachu]

I'm sure you're probably already taking care of this, but just in case, will you be restoring the formatting code as well? (For instance, will we be able to change fonts and text alignment, use the wide range of smilies, etc.?) Or if you've restored it already, will there be new buttons above our text when we're posting so that we can see the new tags?

Just something I thought I'd throw out there, since it at least hasn't been done yet.

(And I'm glad to see that the italic tags and some of the smilies still work, even without a button at the top. )


EDIT: Yeah, everything from the last few days seems to have been deleted. I guess everyone will just have to repost their material.

[Lady Vulpix]

It's looking good so far.

Is there any way to make "Last post" the default sorting for the topic lists?

[Everoy]

Um, it won't let me use an avatar. The only thing that shows up when I click "Edit Avatar" is a box with a checkable button that says check here if you dun wanna you an avatar.

[Kevin]

As long as you click "Go Advanced" or "Post Reply" instead of Quick Reply you will get all the format/smilie options.

Those don't work for me, all it has it 'Title', 'Message', and 'Post Icons'.

Check out your User CP options to change more stuff: http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/pr...do=editoptions

As for the threads being sorted by title, I'll try to fix that.

Edit: Threads should be sorted by post date/descending now.

[Lady Vulpix]

Thank you.

Edit: err... it doesn't seem to be working yet.

[Kevin]

Thank you.

Edit: err... it doesn't seem to be working yet.

Ok now it should work!

[Lady Vulpix]

It does! Thanks.

Oh, Crystal Tears is having trouble logging in. She changed her e-mail address, but she says she's not getting the confirmation e-mail. Is there anything you (or she) can do to help her?

Thanks on her behalf.

[Saffire Persian]

I see other people with pictures in their sigs, yet my images don't work - is there a certain code now that I have to use? Personally, I'm thinking you haven't checked the privileges for regular members to use the [img] tags and whatnot.

[Blademaster]

Um, Mr. Kevin...?

The clocks are about 5 hours slow... Is there anyway I can change that...? o.o'''''''

[Everoy]

Okay, let me be less confusing.

Problem One:

When I press Post Reply or Go Advanced there is a lack of formatting and smiley options.

Problem Two:

I cannot change my avatar, and I am not given the option to do so.

Problem Three:

My pictures, and those of other regular users, do not show up in signatures. All that appears is a link. Example in my sig. Also, formatting such as quoting is not working.

I'd attach pictures but I can't.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'm, uh, not Kevin, but you can fix that by going into your User CP and switching your time zone.

Also, Kevvaelli, to answer problem one, go into your user CP and select a different option for Message Editor Interface.

[Everoy]

Mmm, much thanks! *clicks

• random
• buttons

what

[Saffire Persian]

Also, it won't let us edit our post titles - as in, the main titles, anymore.

Edit : If you have trouble, I know Dragonfree knows a lot about vBulletin, I believe o.o So I bet she'd be able to answer questions about what is going wrong and how to fix it.

[mr_pikachu]

It's hardly a major problem, but I've noticed that the red Pokeball indicators for new replies in the various forums don't change back to gray, even after all the new replies have been read. (They do reset if you log out and log back in, I believe.) Slightly confusing, although it is just a minor thing.

[Poryhedron]

It does! Thanks.

Oh, Crystal Tears is having trouble logging in. She changed her e-mail address, but she says she's not getting the confirmation e-mail. Is there anything you (or she) can do to help her?

My password suddenly stopped working, so I had to complete the whole "Forgot Password" rigamarole, but it took forever because every time the system sent me an e-mail, a couple hours would pass before it actually arrived.
Has Crystal Tears still not gotten the confirmation e-mail?

Incidentally, was the switchover based on a week-old back up? Is there no way to get back the posts that were made since the 15th? DaBlackBandit's gonna be pissed...he lost some posts in his Monotype Challenge...

[Saffire Persian]

Just a question.. but can you possibly increase the character amount for posts? It's 20,000 and I didn't think it was that small before. >< It gets annoying when you go to post fanfiction that's a little long.

[Mewfour]

And how about all these old topics? WE going to get something after October on the old forums here too?

[darktyranitar]

I can't attach my avatar, and the tag on my sig won't work. *sigh* Guess this is not fixed yet...

[Waves_of_Darkness]

Please see this thread. Ignore it if you read it already. Thanks!

[Alucard]

Is there any chance of having the Horizontal Rule back and working~?

[Chris]

People in PCG seem to be seething with Internet rage about the switchover, so I'll address a few common concerns in here because you guys seem much calmer.

• I'll try to import the posts made on SMF over the last week. Regardless of whether the import works, those posts won't be lost.
• The colour scheme looks weird at the moment. This will be fixed over the coming week.
• Smilies, posticons, etc will be redesigned to look better against TPM's dark theme.
• The old yellow/red/purple/green themes will return.

I don't go to Fanfic so I don't know what would be a more reasonable limit. Any ideas?

[Kevin]

Avatars and images in sigs should work now.

[Jeff]

Cool, other than my failed attempts to log in then subsequently reset my password last night, it seems the switchover went pretty smoothly (but yes, I am back now).

And it looks like old features are starting to slowly trickle back in. Someone just has to tell to the folks in PCG to be patient. I think given all the accounts that were hacked on the SMF, the change will be worth it.

One question. What about user titles? They've all apparently been deleted (along with some other profile info), and as far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a way to set it back.

Obviously we still have records of them (and I think they did get imported), you just can't see or change them at the moment. I'll see to that.

edit: Try now.

[Saffire Persian]

Well, 20,000 characters is usually around 3,000 words. I'd say a reasonable amount for people would be around 40,000 - 50,000. 50,000 is being nice and generous, and you'd be able to post about... 90% of chapters/one-shots in one post instead of having to split. I know it sounds like a lot, but you'd be surprised how long chapters can get sometimes. o.o;

[woz]

Requesting the modification I suggested to the old vB which was approved here.

[The Blue Avenger]

I'd like to suggest the reintroduction of strikeout tags and center tags.

Also, the reintroduction of this smilie:

[Weasel Overlord]

Is there any way that we can get the old colour format back? Like, if you wanna use a strange coloured font, you can just type in the hex code for it, and voila? Or do we just have to use the given options all the time?

Yeah... I'm weird... I got quite attached to my silver font ;_;

[Chris]

Done, this is also now customisable in your profile; 50 and 100 are now options and the default is 40

I'd like to suggest the reintroduction of strikeout tags and center tags.

Also, the reintroduction of this smilie:

Strikeout BB code done, center BB code already exists, smilies coming later

50,000 it is, then

You can edit thread titles again because I set the title-editing timeout to 9999999 minutes

Jelsoft decided to ban that in vB3 because it violates a few web standards and there's a slight security risk because of it too, so there's not much chance of it coming back either, sorry

Roy Kardde asked me to post to say that he cannot log in or request his password.

He needs to email kevin@pokemasters.net as per the first post

[Silencer]

ASB is pretty messy right now sinc some of the newer posts just dissapeared. Being able to tell if your attacks are gonna work or not isn't really that fair IMO. Anyway to get the newest posts back?

OW btw some of the smileys are
like:




Nice blue colors

[Jeff]

Roy Kardde asked me to post to say that he cannot log in or request his password.

Yeah, I was having the same problem. For me, I wasn't able to reset my password last night because it was telling me my address was invalid, but then I tried again this morning and it worked.

[Roy Karrde]

Alrighty got it working, hey Kevin is there anyway, I mean anyway to get all that is in RPG/RPG Lounge/ASBRPG Copied over? Replacing everything is going to take days, maybe weeks, and it would just be a lot of less work if we didnt have to quote each post and copy it over.

Second'd.
