Issues with New Forum

[admin]

Hi Mike,

I have contacted vBulletin about some of these issues and they suggest we upgrade to the latest version to see if that corrects some of the issues. Because we did some work-arounds to restore some functionality issues, we need to make sure the upgrade won't affect the current functionality. I've noticed the "like" issue as well and will add that to my list -

No problem with finding things to fix - we want to make the Forum a good experience!

Mitch did you ask them why my CAD program sketch captures won't post? The forum says they are corrupted, but if they were, I could not open them in other programs (windows photo viewer, MS paint, Lenovo photo viewer, etc). I have a workaround where I do an alt+prtsc and paste the image into paint, do a little cropping and save it. That works, but not as convenient as what was working before.

It could have to do with the upgrade as explained above. vBulletin can't respond until we upgrade because the upgrade is supposed to fix several bugs. Have you tried putting the image in your Album and then grabbing it from there for posts?

No, I'll give that a try. Speaking of album, when I go to mine, it says I have 170 posted photos, but when I click on that link, it says I have only 28 photos, none older than 3-26-16. What's up with that?

I also tried uploading directly to the album and got the same "corrupted" message

Haha - "What's up with that?" reminds me of the Saturday Night Live skit...

In your Album, in the top right corner is a filter button. It defaults to "Last Month" but if you choose "All Time" you'll see them all.

Awesome, thanks! The filter was on and I didn't know it. Going way back on SNL with Gilda Radner, "Nevermind"

Mitch, someone from the FreeCad forum made the post below to test what was going on - he also joined cause he said he loves pizza. Let your folks know that .png files will work, but others not so much.

Testing uploading a .png file - yep it works. I'll try not to bring this up again since I have a workaround but let me know if the Vbulletin folks figure it out.

[admin]

Glad you found a solution, JR! I'll keep it on the list -

Hey Mitch, in regards to the "working, working..." problem when you edit posts, I just tried the old F5, refresh screen and the spinning, working wheel cleared. After an edit, I have been just going up to my most recent posts, choosing the one I'd just edited and when I looped back, the "working spinner" would clear...but for those folks working with a Windows machine, the F5 trick might be a bit quicker. Just a thought if the September update doesn't fix the issue it might give us a cleaner option.

[admin]

Thanks for the info Mike! We really appreciate everyone's patience!

I've got a couple of things that I have noticed since the last upgrade;

1: I noticed (even before the upgrade) that it sometimes took approving two posts from some new members. Since the upgrade, I have seen three new users (on their second posts) where the comment field appeared to be blank as it was still unapproved.. On approving the posts, the comment field appears.

2; On my iphone, I can no longer find the edit tab.

Gulf Thank you for the update! Ill take your first question to the IT team and get back with you - it could possibly be something dormant in our settings or a known problem that we are not aware about yet. The second questions is certainly to do with the "Forno" theme losing some compatibility with the update - in the process of a full fledged update to help readability throughout for all users. To get your edit button back, when you are logged in on your iPhone and at the bottom left of the screen, change the theme from "Forno" to "Red". After you do this, items like Edit, Quote, etc... will show up by clicking the three dots that appear to the bottom right of each post.

Reaching out to the team now and will follow up with issue #1.

Thanks again!

Thank's Alex_FB ,

Switching back and forth from FB to Red, I now see those buttons in both views

I'm also testing the notifications.
