This is just a thread that will have a list of current bugs on the forum, as well as some feedback / suggestions from me for forum improvement.


Current Issues / Bugs:


Register link does not disappear after logging in (Fixed)
Profile customization doesn't work nor save any changes made (Fixed)
Show Groups page is broken (Fixed)
Cannot change avatars




Feedback / Suggestions:


The My Profile link could be removed, as clicking the username does the same thing
Add the read receipt option for private messages

When searching the forums, part of the time is cut off

"CTRL" & " - " (the minus) keys together will fix that.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, it then makes the text hard to read.

Doc told me the same thing.

I find if I squint I can read it easier or use a magnifying glass, like my brother does.

It fixed my problem just fine. :)

CTRL & + will bring it back to how it was.

You do realize where you are, right?

Yes, the Questions, Feedback, and Suggestions forum.

It'll be new years, soon.

I removed the searching forums bug that wasn't a bug, as well as added another suggestion.

Well, since an official notes / bugs thread hasn't created by the staff, I figured I'd create one.

Anyway, just simply posts bugs you've noticed here, and I'll add them on to here for an organized list.


Current Bugs

I've updated the OP.

I know you think you're trying to be helpful and show the Admin/Moderators that you'd be a good Moderator. However, judging from all of your posts, stating the obvious as well as ignoring the fact that most of the problems you are reporting, the Admin/Moderators would already have something to let them know when problems occur. You're not a Moderator, so please, leave it to those who are to sort the problems out. All your doing is making yourself look like a sad individual with no life, who lurks on the forum, picking on small things (I'm referring here to your thread about server timeouts... that thread is not needed at all for the same reason I stated earlier in this post) etc.

Hate to say this.... but I doubt you'll ever be a moderator here. Just deal with it and move on.

Who said anything about wanting to be part of the staff?

You say I have no life; yet you're sitting there, wasting energy on criticizing my life.

This affects you in no way, shape, or form, so quit unnecessarily criticizing me.

- Register link does not disappear after logging in

Uh... duh?
Registering is for creating a new account. If you already have an account and logged into it, why would you want to register again? It makes no sense. We're not, y'know, Pimp My Forums going "Yo dawg, i heard you like accounts in your account, so we put accounts into your account so you can account while you account". Wat?

That's what I'm saying.

The "Register" link should disappear after logging into your account, but it doesn't here like on other vBulletin forums.

You still don't get it do you? Threads like this are NOT NECESSARY. I'm sure the Mods/Admin already have a sysyem in place via VBulletin, which informs them when there are problems like this here. You say I'm 'wasting energy on criticizing' you, this thread is taking up bandwidth on the forum which could've been used elsewhere. Haven't all the other posts in other threads you've created by others here, told you that this kind of thread isn't needed?

Take a chill pill and calm down son.

This message is hidden because Darth Revan is on your ignore list.

Hey, look! I can play the "Trolling Other Users Unnecessarily for Stupid Reasons" game, too!

Even so, threads like this are good for bringing attention to said bugs. Besides, going by your logic, the same could be said for Sarah's (the owner) thread to ban spambots.

"Oh, I'm sure they have a system for that, so the thread is unnecessary!"

Also, you're the one that needs to take a chill pill, as you're the one that came on here and started criticizing me, and then you criticized me further for defending myself.

If I was deliberately trying to troll you, I'd be far more insultive and abusive in my posts towards you Amaury. Yet in my posts, I have not done so towards you. I'm trying to keep this civil and make my point, yet you're the one getting all upset and throwing out /ignore list threats etc (which you've done towards me, for a weak reason imo). Is that what you do on those four forums you've listed in your sig (which, if I recall, you broke a cardinal forum rule in one of your earlier posts on this site, more or less promoting other forums in your post!) to people who post valid and non insultive responses to yours?

Like I said before, if I wanted to criticize you in a more negative manner, I'd be more insulting/abusive towards you. I haven't done so in any of my posts towards you... Just because I have a difference of opinion to you, I'm criticizing you? Pssh... whatever.

Cool it down, guys. I can hear you from France...:D

Okay! :3

The issues with Timewarp have returned, and it appears that all of the themes have reverted to how they were before the vBulletin upgrade.

God, this forum is always having some sort of problem. =/

I don't really deem any of the ever-so-small bugs on here at all an issue that negates anything from the forum, personally. Probably would take more time to sort out than it's worth.

The register link isn't stopping me from posting or anything. :P

It appears that all of the editing tools, such as to apply bold to text, are blank.

They'll pop into existence soon. That has happened a dozen times to me.

Just hang around, like you've nothing better to do and they'll reappear. :D Worked for me.

Really? Huh, they're there for me at the moment at least, have yet to have that happen.

Well, it might be the part of the bug with the forum themes reverting to before the vB upgrade.

I'm using Light (VB3) again because of the Timewarp bugs.

I'm using timewarp and don't have any problems, except for the customise my profile, which i never used.

Yeah, guess it must just be a theme issue, I'm simply using the default theme currently and haven't experience a problem yet.

I'm still having issues with the group pages being whited out, making the text unreadable. Is there anything we can do to fix that?

You can highlight the text for a quick read? Thats all I got.

Right, but the group pages are extremely limited in how much you can put in a single post. Because of that, we often have to split our messages into 2, 3, 4 sometimes even 5 posts. Meaning there are a lot more pages for conversations on the group pages. Thus, a lot more highlighting, then clicking to the next page, then highlighting everything again. It's a pretty big pain. Hopefully, they can find some way to make the text readable.

I've added your bug to my OP.

Removed the group and editing tools issues, as they appear to be fixed.

I know this will sound crazy (cause I am), but would it not be more effective to just pm the admin when encountering a bug? Most of what you are reporting are minor glitches at worst. There will always be bugs in a system like this at any given time. Most of what you are reporting in no way affect the use of the forums....

And, time outs haven't happened for me lately...

Alright, I just updated my original post.

I removed the forum skins / themes bug since those problems aren't really anything major, as Jessie pointed out in another thread.

Small things like the skin issues from this point on will not be added to the bugs list.
If the staff want to take a look on their own time, that would be appreciated.

However, I won't depend on them to anymore like I have been since I created this thread.

My apologies if I've been a burden.

Oh Fricking God, Amaury. You know I for one respect you. No one said you were a burden. Just that compared to some of the events lately, minor bugs in the system do not warrant a constantly updateds thread. Admin and mods are doing the best they can. There will always be stuff that slips through. Just be glad the site is as well maintained as it is. And don't take things so personally, you big lug.

Thanks, Baby Doll.

I know there are more important issues right no to deal with, but I just wanted to make a quick note that the user customization options are coming up and working normally now, however, any changes made are still not saving.

EDIT: Now that big black box when clicking a color to edit is back again.
The box that comes up to change the colors is not coming up, either.

EDIT 2: Here's a screenshot of what I get when clicking one of the color boxes to change the color:

Is this thread still about what the name of it is? Well, I've noticed something odd about the forum that concerns threads started after the new year (it could possibly be Jan. 1 or 2, I don't know). Anyway, all it is is that the threads only ever have one more view than they do replies. Thread has 4 replies? It's only been viewed 5 times. Thread has 76 replies? It's only been viewed 77 times. That cannot be right can it? I know that happens when something really big gets uploaded down in the film music downloads forum but it is happening way too frequently and in other forums, as well.

If I understand that correctly, you're saying that when, say, there are 100 replies, there should at least be about 150 views?

Yes...well, depending on what the thread is. If it was really popular but everyone who went to it was greedy and can't say thanks, it could have 100 replies but 1000 views. No matter how popular the thread is, if that thread was started sometime after the new year, with 100 replies, it'll only have 101 views.

Holy crap! I have over a thousand posts!

EDIT: Do you ever go downstairs to the, um, film music forum? It's kinda vicious down there sometimes...

I remember this same bug happening a couple years ago. It was fixable then....

Hey, it's been fixed! I had been going off of a Star Wars Episode III thread down in the download links which at my last check had around 77 posts for 78 views. It now has 108 posts for somewhere over 2000 views! And that's all because Episode III is a highly sough after score and also because people like to argue about property and what belongs to whom. I should maybe try spending more time up here people aren't so evil and backstabbing and rude and careless and n00bish.

I recommend the Shoot the Shit thread. Survive a day in there, without bleeding from various orifices, and you'll learn to love the funny.

Looks like profile customization changes aren't saving again.

EDIT: Odd, they're saving again.

Likewise. Other forum threads tell me it's something mod-related and that you should disable the mods. But I am a new user and didn't changed any settings...
Because of that it's impossible to post replies... I thought it just my account. I am glad someone also has this problem :')

Can one of you post a screenshot?
I am not seeing anything.

Blank post?

I also get the warning Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4293.

The problem occurs with the newest Firefox.

On Internet Explorer I also get this warning and I can also not post anything because the frame where you are tipping your text is not showing up.

The reason your posts are getting caught in moderation is because you're posting links and have a very low post count, so the spam filter is seeing you as a bot and automatically modding your post.

I'm gonna make a new thread for people with this problem, seems that after one post gets approved, this stops happening.

I have huge problems with this forum. Unfortunately I cannot post any picture links to show what I mean because the post will not be published. I hope after this post gets apporved I can upload some pictures.

Strange, I'm not encountering any of these problems.
Could it maybe just be with newly registered users?

Just noticed this issue today:
When doing google search and following the links it always leads to a blank white page with "Page not found" on it.
But if using the site's search engine it will go to all the threads that I'm looking for.

Not sure if it's Google's or FFshrine's internal bug (or whatever it should to be called), but it's a little inconvenient because google was always faster to find the right topic, if using the right key words.

The only bug I'm seeing is that when I click on View Forum Leaders on the Quick Links drop-menu, I get a white page with this:

Mine is just a guess, but probably this issue is happening because of the change in subforums/threads' URLs format.

Previously they looked like this:

And now they're:

The links in the threads in your sig all seem to work fine for me.

Mine is just a guess, but probably this issue is happening because of the change in subforums/threads' URLs format.
That could be the reason indeed... either way I can't really experiment with anymore, because the issue disappeared, everything's back to normal and redirection from Google works fine again. Hopefully the issue is not coming back.

Okay so yesterday i had reformatted my computer and when i tried to log in to ffs, i forgot my password, so while trying to guess the password i used up all my log in attempts, so then i had jessie reset my password again and he could log in but i was stuck with the quotia limit. So no choice to make a second account, but the bugs are still present. while i cuold still log in i still have posting issues and this code is at the top of my window.

When i post it takes me to a blank page with the same quote an i have to refresh the forum again.

Is anyone but me experiencing these bugs?

fixed some things, does it work for you now?

The code on the top is gone and posting is fixed now i can confirm. However my main account still won't log in.

my prntscrn is not working atm so i can't provide the screenshot yet, however if i can explain it, it takes me a login attempt screen, counting from 1 to 5 with eatch attempt.

The theme im using is the light.

the problem is we can't replicate the bug; i don't get it, jessie doesn't even get it when logging into your account which makes it really really hard to troubleshoot.

I'm sure the prtsc button on the On-Screen Keyboard works just fine.

do you still get it if you switch themes?

PM me your password if you don't mind (or change it to something then PM me), it'd help me troubleshoot

I also got error messages...

now the error message is gone! yay!

Why are all my settings such a mess? I just joined today, and at the top of the screen I see this message:

And whenever I go into any of my settings, everything is overlapping and I can't see what I'm trying to change.

Same problem here.

This is really weird, because I'm not experiencing any of those issues.

I'm not either. Could it have something to do with the fact that they are new members?

I just got back from a long time away and I'm getting an error on clicking any links inside a post. Even trying to get to posts from a thread search makes it barf.

Guess this issue had persisted for some time now. It is impossible to click on any post returned by search result. And this has become a trouble when you want to search for a particular stuff, e.g. a soundtrack in the lossless vgm thread.

Triple posting FTW!

Triple posting FTW!

Like I said a few days ago, I think it's got something to do with new users, because a lot of us older users aren't seeing these problems.

I experienced some downtime earlier. Did anyone else?

I was totally unable to get on for most of the day. Almost 9 ot 10 hours. Got some sort of error message.

Hi there. I was also unable to get on yesterday.

Yep, so was everybody. That wasn't a forum bug. You've been a member here for nearly a year, and this is the first post you make?

This.

I was away. Is there any problem?

Small thing, just wanted to tell i'm getting this error when trying to access the Likes received tab on the profile:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/forums/public_html/includes/functions.php on line 2064

EDIT:

Any problem with what? And as far as we're all concerned, you didn't even exist since until earlier today, so we wouldn't have even known that there was any "away" to be.

No offense but I suggest you to concentrate on these bugs instead of my person. IMHO they are more important.

Yeah, but it's not like I have any ability to fix the issues you're having. I'd like to have them corrected just as much as you though.

I'm new and am also seeing this on nearly every page here.

I think I tried replying to this thread before, but I can't see it showing up, despite me getting emails saying I am subscribed after posting in it. Oh well. Main reason I'm posting is because I'm a new member and I'm getting some weird error at the top of the site on every page, as well as my Edit Profile page being completely messed up. Please see the pic below. Happens in Firefox and IE. In fact, as I type this, I can see that the same scrambled up thing is happening in the recently posted messages below where I'm typing now (on the Post Reply page). So it's affecting multiple areas of the site for me. Really wanted to start posting here, but this is making things difficult at the moment.

The like button seems to have broken for me. I can click it but seems unable to register my click. Sometimes I'll come back later and see that my like has been accepted. But currently, I can't tell who likes any posts. All it says is "[heart] likes this." Who liked it? Will we ever find out? And when I like a post that has already been liked--and it registers my like--it reads "You and [heart] like this." Me and who??

Also, has anyone been working on that issue that all newcomers and old members who haven't been here for a while keep encountering? That seems like an issue that should be looked into.

I'm getting same error Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class.
Most of the forum interface is looking out of place to me in a few areas and i get php header errors when i click on a post permalink

EDIT: Working now :D

Hello i have that problem of
Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316
i want to share some disc but i have many problems when try to reply a thread or make a new one ): and im kinda new in here.

Edit: Now its Working (:

Also, has anyone been working on that issue that all newcomers and old members who haven't been here for a while keep encountering? That seems like an issue that should be looked into.

It appears not. Is anyone actually watching this thread? It seems like all the PHP errors encountered by new members and old members returning from long breaks would be enough to cause some people to not come back to this site. You don't want to lose members, do you?

Tails, what were you able to do that fixed the issue? Could it be related to the "must have more than 5 posts to unlock more options" rule?

Farfan666, could you sign back later in the day and tell me if your problem goes away? I made a small change to your account to see if it changes anything, but it might take some time to actually work.

Jessie, I might say it worked: just 20 minutes ago, when I posted, I swear Azuardo's post was not there. Or did you only adjust farfan's account?

There's 3 posts from Azuardo, i just saw them now and approved one.

Made changes to Azuardo and walleyed accounts too, so if you guys happen to sign in and check this thread, let me know if it fixed anything.

niw is Fixed , Thanks Jessie =D

Still not working for me.

Still got the Warning fetch template line at the top of the page. Still my Edit Profile page is scrambled up to hell. And when I click the subscription link in my emails, I get a blank page with just these two lines (same thing if I click 'go to last post' in any thread):


Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_core.php:5588) in [path]/includes/function

Ok, made another change. See if it works a little later.

Oh, that is beautiful! Everything seems to be working fine already. So many thanks!

The like function hasn't been showing names for a while now and when you click the button it doesn't show immediately like it used to. Have to refresh the page.
Not a big deal, but this is the thread for it apparently.

I get these errors:





Happens on both Chrome and Firefox.

Also, it also gives me an error when trying to access a search result, but only when I specified it to show posts as the results, not threads.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

I also can't edit my post. I wanted to add that it also gave me these error after posting when the forum tried to redirect me to my new post:

I think it is either the 5 posts or a username change that fixed this issue for me.

@crystalk and Effoxor: should be fixed now.

Thank you! It works fine now as far as i can tell.

I would love a fix if possible as well :) thanks.

Hey thanks. What's exactly the cause of this problem, if I may ask?

I have a feeling it's something to do with forum permissions, as it's only affecting new members with hardly any posts - long-term members with high post counts aren't effected. But I have no idea as to the underlying cause, as software code has never been my strong point (not to mention I refuse to touch admin settings in the control panel as I'm afraid of doing something in there that will break the site! :p )

In any event, Sarah, Jessie and Marce are aware of this so just have patience - the problem should be sorted out soon.

So I suppose I should just continue posting a bit longer and all my troubles will go away as well? While it's nice that the mods can fix individual accounts, wouldn't it just be easier to have a universal fix? Of course, that can be difficult if they can't get to the root of the problem.

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:59 PM ----------

Okay, so now I wait a few hours....or? The site even refuses to let me log out, which I find a little disturbing. It'd be like going to Wal-Mart and then they wouldn't let you leave and you'd have to find a way to escape (for me to escape, I think I have to delete this site's cookies from my web browser).

The real question is....why would you want to leave? There is no escaping ffshrine. Also, fixed.

The problem is with certain plugins and user groups. Once people are moved to the registered (can pm) user group, the problems go away. So if people post 5 or more times and just wait to be automatically transferred to that user group, things will sort themselves out.

Why would I want to leave? Say I was in a public library and I wanted to read up on some discussions and post a couple responses and then get off. The next person to get on, although slim to zero chances of this happening, might want to get on the Shrine and then they wouldn't be able to log me off. Hypothetical situation. But it's all good now: all the errors are gone! Hooray! Certain plugins and user groups, eh? So, is a permanent fix being worked on? Or has the Shrine always been that way even many months or years ago--and therefore, there won't be a forever-fix for incoming members?

I forget that you haven't been here long enough to want to have the forum surgically attached to your hip like i do.

Is it just me or is the Like button not displaying names anymore? Just says.. "likes this post" .. no name shown.

Hmmm... I started to think it was a change to make the like function kind of private, so that only the one receiving likes could see who actually liked his/her post... Probably a bug, yeah, but i personally think this way's nice, too... Pretty cool to see " , , and like this" XD

I don't know if this is fixable, but every time I log in, the forum defaults to the New (Light) background, even though it says Let's do the timewarp and I always use Let's do the timewarp. So I change the background to New (Light) and the background of course stays the same. Then I go to Let's do the timewarp and finally it's got the correct background. I don't mean to complain, but it's a minor gripe I have.

This happened to me on user profiles before they re-designed user profiles, but it's not now.

I always log out, and the default is New Light, but when I log in, it changes fine. Do you have your forum skin set to Let's Do the Timewarp in your settings?

Hey Amaury, thanks! Yeah, I had the forum skin set to Forum Default and I just now changed it to Let's do the timewarp. I logged out and logged back in again, and now it's defaulting to Timewarp. Thanks man!

I'm having the same problem as seen in #14 & #19 (constant warning/odd menus/unable to edit posts).
Help would be greatly appreciated~

Yeah, getting the exact same issue.

I'm having the same issue as the previous few posters. Especially the jumble on trying to edit, or even go into my own profile. It all seems to collapse upon itself. The header PHP error is common, too.

I get this pretty often as well. Very rarely however, I do actually get to see who liked a post. Can this be fixed?

I get this pretty often as well. Very rarely however, I do actually get to see who liked a post. Can this be fixed?

Yep, I've been wondering this too. The only time you can see who actually liked a post is when it's one of your own posts and you get a notification for it, and then you can see who liked your post but only by hovering your mouse of their avatar. It would be great to have that feature fixed; we didn't have it for very long before it got borked.

The like button seems to have broken for me. I can click it but seems unable to register my click. Sometimes I'll come back later and see that my like has been accepted.

For this reason, I have to do a google search for the thread, then click "Last Page" at the bottom of the page whenever I want to see what was just posted. It's very annoying. Also, even when I do manage to see a page, the top of the page has a message saying:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

Also, it is very hard to reply to threads. The box to type the message into on the "Reply to Topic" page appears for a few seconds, then it and anything I type into it disappears. I had to type this message out somewhere else, then quickly copy and paste it into the box before it has a chance to disappear.

When I want to log off:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

Thank you! Everything is working correctly now.

I tried to upload an image from my computer using the image function, but it said that the picture has exceeded the quota by 3.2 KB, which is surprising considering the file is only about 7 KB. Is the maximum image size to upload from a computer 4 KB? Here is the message:

Exceeds your quota by 3.2 KB. < A rel= "nofollow" href= "misc.php?do=attachments" target= "_blank"> Click here to view your attachments < /a>

Unrelated to my previous post: I'm getting an error message sometimes when I click on a thread. Anyone know what this is about?

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: User download_ghdown already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections in /home/forums/public_html/includes/config.php on line 197
Could not connect: User download_ghdown already has more than 'max_user_connections' active connections

Got the same thing for about 10 minutes. It happens to me every now and then....

When I post I get these errors:
Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_core.php:5588) in [path]/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_url.php on line 549
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at [path]/includes/class_core.php:5588) in [path]/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_url.php on line 553
Is there a way I can avoid this?

EDIT: didn't get it when I posted this. sorry, maybe it was something I did wrong.

When I log in, I see an error message but it logs me in anyway. Everything seems fine and I only see it briefly at the logging in screen. But anyway, here it is:

Thank you for logging in, Olde.

Getting this error on all pages as well:

I don't mind so much, except that it breaks the links on the search results page. Incredibly annoying in the Film Score/VGM Hunt Thread. Seems to be related to some advertisement template, which might explain why it's only popping up for newer members (maybe the older ones don't get so many ads?).

arguing on the internet is like the special Olympics, even if you win you are still retarded

What is the fix?

I still have this and am unsure if I'm missing something.....

I fixed it for you, or hope i have.

Whoa! YES! This has been going on for ages.

What witchcraft hast thou done? :D

Thanks!

Edit: Also, no more triplicate posts :)

I cleared everything on Mozilla last night because it was long overdue, and when I was at the "Thank you for logging in" screen after logging in a little while ago, the following text showed above that box:

I've been getting that bug for a while now every time I login too. It doesn't seem to be a fatal bug though so I just ignore it mostly.

i have problem with my search function. is it a bug when ever i tried to open a search result i got this

please take a look at it, thanks.

It's because you're a new user. You'll need to reach 5 posts and wait a little while or have Jessie fix you up.

getting same error here
fix it please please :)

Should be fixed.

Thank you very much :)

It seems i'm getting the 'new user' errors, although i'm a long time user i never posted around here..
I hope i can change that! Can something be done about the errors? i'm getting this two:

"Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316"

Either wait for Jessie to fix you up or just reach 5 posts and wait a while. :)

thanks guys, it's fixed!

Hey guys, I keep getting these text messsages:

This forum definitely has a lot of quality content, however, these bugs make it unstable to use it as it doesn't work too well, unfortunately.

Hopefully it will be fixed someday.

Thanks.

Same problem, don't even think about editing your profile... it's an even bigger mess x_X

I think it's working fine now since I don't see any codes any more. :)

Seems to be! Yay~

It's because you're new users, and this forum is set up so that you have to make at least 5 posts before you're moved into the group for registered members to make sure you're not spam 'bots.

Either that or, as I've told others, wait for Jessie, an administrator here, to manually fix users, like you, with the problem.

I have 5 post but still get the warning messages

I have 5 post but still get the warning messages

The switch isn't instant to a new usergroup. Just wait and/or keep posting.

Hi,

I'm registered since 2007, normally a reader user. But I can't change my email here, it only shows 2 warnings.

Please fix it, I need it because I'll close one of my email accounts and need to change it here.

You need to wait for Jessie to fix you up or reach 5 posts and wait a little while to get moved.

It doesn't matter whether you're new or not, if you don't have 5 or more posts, you're "new" according to how the system here works.

It's because you're a new member. You need to either reach 5 posts and wait a while for the system to move you out of the new members group or wait for Jessie to move you manually.

I keep getting errors like: "Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316". Any idea what's going on?

I will make the 'system lords' recognize my non-newness


...little by little.

I joined a while back for occasional lurking and never understood why the strange bugs with "fetch_template" at the top of every page and the text on the user settings are all scrambled.

Any reason why vBulletin screws up the display for all new users?

Edit: It also seems that posting once with quick reply attempted to post twice, but the spam filter caught it and prevented the double post. I'm not sure if that's because of Firefox or vBulletin though, because I have many browser extensions on all the time.

Second Edit: Reading ahead a bit more it seems like the cause of the bug is unknown. I guess vBulletin just has layout issues for new users with more limited permissions.

I also have the "Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316" Problem. Any solution would be appreciated.

I wonder if anyone ever reads the posts in this thread before asking the same question over and over again? :)

I wanted to report that this is still appearing on top of the Thank you for logging in, [user] table when logging in:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/login.php on line 180

That's because Sarah (the site owner) has stated she only comes into the site occasionally now, leaving fixing bugs pretty much in Jessie and Marceline's hands, of which there isn't an awful lot they can do sadly. But they do their best with what they have available to them.

The major bugs are known, it's not that no one knows about it, it's just a case of there isn't much really that can be done about it.

I wanted to report that that warning error when logging in is gone.

I am getting this error message when trying to change my avatar:


Unable to save image

Is anyone else getting this?

people can always contact me directly if something big is going on. i'm still doing a lot behind the scenes even when it doesn't look like it-- we just did a huge security sweep yesterday which is probably why the warning when logging in is gone among other things :)

Of course. You're a hard worker, Sarah. :)

Anything on the avatar issue I mentioned last night? I still can't change it.

Is anyone else unable to edit anything related to their profile?

When I try to access these pages, I get this message:

A patriot like you is trying to shed the flag and national bird of our great nation?

Sounds like the actions of a terrorist, to me.

lol

Random database error pages are popping up when I move around the forum.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, anytime I try to leave one page, I get the error. I page back and try again it is ok, though I had to try several times to get into my in box..

Evil, I tell you.

Same problem..morning was disaster, almost 5 hours didn't work connection....also automatic logout pisses me off.

i cant get on me profile or messages? help plz what do i do

Try clearing your browser's data. I'm able to access my user profile and private messages just fine.

The forum time seems to have jumped an hour ahead.

The current time is 12:04 AM PDT, but the forum is saying it's 1:04 AM.

We're not out of DST until 2:00 AM Pacific, but even if we were out of DST now, it doesn't make sense that it would jump an hour ahead.

Forum was down all day for me.

Anyone else?

yes, me and one more user. :/

The whole site was down, not just the forum. Why?

I have never been banned, but all my posts and treads are gone, from all months :)

do you know when they disappeared exactly? would help me find it in the logs

I'm not really sure, but it happened maybe in January or February 2013.

Sounds like they're being put into moderation because you're still new.

You need five posts to be put into the Registered Users usergroup.

They're not being put into moderation. This has happened before.

He's been here since 2011, so he's not new, and he had already created threads and had posts since long before this year.
