teething problems

[Anthony Williams]

with a new forum, there could well be teething problems, so let us know of any errors that you come across in this thread

How do I make it so when I post a new reply, it goes back to the board I am posting to, and not just the thread?

There was a setting thingummy for this on EZBoard, but I can't remember what it was. When you submit a reply, you want to go straight to other threads on the same forum, not back into the thread you just posted to.

as far as i've found out so far, you can't set it to do this. We're all new at this vBulletin lark, so it'll take time to discover all the settings - i'd take a nose around your User CP if I were you, Si

This is more about the old forum than this one,
But i was going to continue threads here like my ongoing viewing threads of such as 'Angel' & 'Twilight Zone' etc... & i was going to include links in my opening post the last page of the previous EZboard thread, but i can't access any of the forums on the old PS because it's asking me for a password.
Besides which, i hadn't even finished reading tonight's messages yet. (moan groan)

i e-mailed everyone the passwords to the old forum.

anyone who didn't get them should e-mail me!

i'll send it to you in a PM, Wayne!

Thanks Ant!

My Control Panel is telling me i can't have a sig-pic.
Any chance someone could change the settings so that i can?

by the current settings, you should be allowed one picture in your signature

[Wayne]

It says:

"Allow [IMG] Code No
Can Upload Images for Signature No
Can Upload Animated GIF for Signature No"

And my sig-pic is not showing up on preview.....
It's coming up as a link look -----
(even though i used IMG /IMG code)

[Anthony Williams]

ok, just taken another look... should hopefully work now

[Wayne]

Thanks again, Ant!
Can you just tell me what code to use to get it in the centre?
It used to be: (center)(/center) on EZboard

Am i being a pain tonight?

That's got it, thanks.
I can start posting properly tomorrow now that i've got my 'outfit' on.

[Dirk Gently]

There's always one.

[Ralph]

You have my full sympathy Wayne - this new board is like breaking in a new pair of shoes when all I want is an old pair of slippers!

[Dirk Gently]

@Ralph.


I may say something maint I?

There seems to be two emoticons on the small smilies board to the right.

[Pip Madeley]

Thanks Tim, noted & corrected.

Morning all (or whatever time of day it is where you are).

I'm having trouble adding an avatar. When I try to type one in and click "Save Changes" all I get is a message telling me I'm not authorised. Am I doing something wrong?

[Pip Madeley]

Try and upload from your computer rather than using a URL - might work.

[Logo Polish]

Just get the same message either way, I'm afraid.

You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
1 You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
2 You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
3 If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I've also found I can't edit my own posts but that seems to be a feature of the Library computers I'm currently using, I've had the same problem on other Forums with those, so there's probably nothing anyone can do about that.

Nice to be here anyway.

[Pip Madeley]

PM me the URL of your avatar and I'll sort it for you.

The Mark Thread as Read option seems to work but then seems to make the threads unread again when you go back to the main page.

[Dirk Gently]

You have to double click on the pages icon on the left to mark the whole board as read.

[Mark]

When I clicked the link to a thread in an email alert I got just now it took me to a log in page and not the actual thread.

I had to come in by the front door to check I hadn't been logged out (I hadn't).

The Mark Thread as Read option seems to work but then seems to make the threads unread again when you go back to the main page.

It works for me, but I have had problems with the main forum page not refreshing every time like the last one did.

It works okay for me. Do the unread threads in the topic you are in change from boldtype to ordinary type when you click 'Mark As Read'? If yes, now head back to the main page, refresh, and see if the thread has lost its 'unread posts' marker.

On another topic, I haven't worked out how to make it go to the board you are posting to once you submit a post, rather than the thread. If anyone knows please share - if I've just posted to a thread, I don't want to look at it again.

Si.
