I just discovered that you can approve or disapprove each other's post....but I don't really understand it all...

Anyone wanna clue me in??

Basically, it's like the report a post feature. If you think something is very inappropriate or breaks multiple rules or whatever, leave it a negative reputation mark. If you think something is very good, like say for example, a suggestion about how to make a feature of the boards better, you can leave it a positive reputation mark. With the negs, I'm assuming mods/admin will keep track and delete/edit the post or warn/ban the author of the post as necessary.

And I posted instead of PMing because I assumed other people were wondering as well.

I've noticed that a bunch of threads that were locked on the old board suddenly became unlocked, and now people are posting in them again....

another thingy i noticed:

when you're viewing the main forum index (where all of them show), to the right of each forum in the "last post" column it says what thread was last posted in and who the author of the post is. but when you click the thread link to see said last post, you don't always get to the last post of that thread. sometimes you get directed to the last post of the last time you checked the last post in that thread and forum or even sometimes just somewhere in the middle of the thread.

hope that doesn't confuse you.

ToB

It makes sense...I think it's a feature so that you don't miss the thread that you're really thinking you're supposed to go to... If that makes sense...LOL

Can someone help?

It says to click on a button but I don't know which one. :(

at the bottom of everyone's post in the bottom right corner there are two buttons: the reply button and a quick reply button. the reply button takes you to the more elaborate reply section and quotes the post you hit the reply button in. the quick reply button directs you to the quick reply box at the bottom of the thread where you type to your little hearts content.

Something I've noticed is that, after I've read the last unread message in a forum and go back to the main index, it won't immediately mark the forum as being completely read. I either have to bo back into that forum and then out again or I have to refresh the main index. Not a big deal at all, mind you, but it seemed a little strange to me.

Yeah, I've noticed this too...I've looked for a solution, but vBulletin doesn't support this at the moment.

View your own profile and its under the "Forum Info" section, "Find all posts by xxx"

And I have a strangeness to add as well. The site doens't appear to remember what threads I have read with any consistency, occasionally using the 'mark forum as read' feature works, and then two minutes later it resets it self to the way it was when I logged in. My cookies here appear to be working fine in other sites.

Yes, because it's not phpBB anymore - it's vBulletin. Different company.

OK, problem: "view first unread" DOES NOT WORK. I tried to use it on the 10-page thread about the new boards in the EvBoard.com forum, and it literally skipped a whole page. I didn't even have my computer on between 3:45 pm and 9:25 pm, so I don't know how it thought I read a post at 6:30 while I was in class.

Colin
01-28-2004, 10:05 PM
Yeah. I noticed the view first unread ( a GREAT feature... when it works) didn't work for me either. Aaaaand I noticed this one old poll (one about Tool) had a WHOLE bunch more options than it originally did.. like ones from other polls.

Kaprikorn
01-28-2004, 10:16 PM
The Quick Reply is my friend.

anyways...

I noticed that you can view 'hybrid mode' and 'threaded mode'. I prefer 'linear mode' better.

what about you guys?

I saw a spice girls poll like that! It literally had all these crazy-ass poll options...I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

I'm just starting to notice a bit of strangeness that only seems to happen randomly. Maybe others are seeing this as well. Occasionally I'll see the URL of the picture a user has in their signature rather than the picture itself...for example it'll show up like: http://www.somedomain.com/pic.jpg and it'll be hyperlinked. Now I've checked my user CP options and I have it all set to show avatars, signatures and so on. I first noticed this last night when I was viewing blue's picture thread. I noticed it was with a post with an attachment in it and the sig image was just showing up as a hyperlink. If I went to another page in the thread where she didn't have a file attached, her sig image showed up just fine. Perhaps there's some sort of issue with attachments and sigs? Then again maybe that was just coincidence.

Hope that all made sense :)

Fairy.org
01-31-2004, 04:22 PM
Ok, My only question, is that the birthdays at the bottom. When you goto the old site there are more birthdays. Then when you come here it only shows up as two people. I didn't know if there was maybe like a user clear out for people that have never came back or what?

Fairy.org
01-31-2004, 04:25 PM
Ok, I was looking at the old board when I went to get the t-shirt designs and the bithdays there are

antigone (23), DeathByChocolate665 (15), imissBen (18), Jay-P (22), Marquis DeBlood (37), Nowhere (25), purpleflowers (16), tuemeni (21), WitheredRose348 (15)

and the birthdays that are here are just antigone (23), Jay-P (22)

I was wondering if maybe I am missing something?

PossessedByTheSquirrels
01-31-2004, 04:31 PM
Hmmm, that might be because we had to put our information back in when these new boards were put up. I remember having to load my avatar up again, and filling out my profile again. So perhaps antigone and Jay-P were the only ones who got around to putting their birth dates in their new profile for vbulletin.

That would be my theory on it.

This isn't necessarily a strangeness, but it's something I thought I should point out since I just noticed it - the default for having the board notify you when you get a new PM is turned OFF. So if you're a dummy like me and haven't turned it on, you won't know you have any PMs waiting for you :)

ToB,

I have noticed that when you roll over a topic on the main board it says to go to the 'first' post in the thread and if you hit the little ikon on the lower right of the last person... it is to take you to the last post in the thread.

That is all very cool! I think that is a great idea but, even if you roll over and click where it says to go to the 'first post',l it still takes you to the last post as does the little ikon.

Is that my browser or is that still a little glitch to figure out?

If you take a little closer look you'll notice that the down arrow icon http://www.evboard.com/images/shady/buttons/firstnew.gif to the left of the topic says "Go to first new post" which would be the first post since you last visited the thread.

The left arrow icon http://www.evboard.com/images/shady/buttons/lastpost.gif after the poster name in the Last Post column takes "Go to last post" you to the last post in the thread regardless of how much of the thread you have read. If there has only been one reply since you last visited a thread then they will take you to the same place.

To go to the very first post (regardless of if you're read it or not) click on the topic name.

The down arrow icon is useful if you only want to see what you have not previously read.

Interesting, while Log Out doesn't do what you think it would do (require you to log in again when you come back), it does have the same affect as marking all forums read.

hey fairy!

i had a problem with this too and lireal helped me out. basically what you have to do now is go to 'tools' in internet explorer, then 'internet options' and delete your cookies. then reload the board and when you sign in you have to remember to unmark the 'remember me' option, otherwise youll keep having to delete your cookies.

Fuck them. If someone leaves you a rep comment saying "you're an idiot" then they're just assholes. I mean, it's like the debate forum. If they can't explain WHY they think you're an idiot, then they shouldn't be allowed to open their mouths.

Missing reps?? they are gone form our data...maybe its just temporary?
Also I thought the point of reps was to take or add a point for the post!? I got a bad rep because an ass didnt like the size of my signiture!? (but added the excuse the sig was annoying because my reply was 6 words long-its not my fault if I can answer someones question in that amount of text and besides Ive seen posts with fewer words than that but theres no problem) surely a PM about it would have been better.

Are you using the back button to navigate the forums? That can happen (from my experience anyway) with using it. It also might be a cookie problem or a bug with the VB software.

I don't think this is really a problem or is really strange but because I'm a stuck up perfectionist, it really annoys me when I see this kind of thing. In the Store's Bank when you are depositing points there's supposed to be a "confirm" button. I may be seeing things but when I go to do that I'm pretty sure it is spelt "CONFRIM". Which is kind of funny.

You have to withdraw your money from the bank before you can spend it. You have to take it out of the bank and then you will be able to make purchases from the store. You can put the points that you don't use back in the bank when you're done.

yeah i know all of that...im not looking to spend my points on anything. the problem is i cant withdraw or deposit money into the bank because when i select "bank" from the dropdown list at the top it says "You do not have enough points for this" :confused:

Well, it says you have a negative amount of points. Maybe that's why it won't let you in the bank. It says you have -800 and some odd points. That's the only reason I could think of why it won't let you in there. I'm confused, how can you have a negative amount of points? I didn't know that was possible. Did you get a bunch of neg reps recently? That's strange. :confused:

I dunno, you might want to ask a mod on that one. But I'm thinking that's probably the reason you can't get into the bank.

As far as being robbed, could they rob you for an amount which is more than you have? I would think that they could only rob you for the points that you have, not enough to put you into a negative number.

Hmmm.

you might not've clicked on the update link after using the bank (http://www.evboard.com/ushop.php?do=actionhistory&aid=10&page=4)? if it stays negative i can donate you points to correct it but i think that's the problem.

i don't really care about the points... i have several thousand in the bank and don't need them for anything. i just donate to those who need them.

well anyway, i looked through all the history including points donations etc and can't see where you've bought anything so i'm not sure how it happened. maybe it is a bug? :s

This might just be me, but whenever I load a page on the board only about 3/4 of the pictures show up, like smileys, avatars, linked pics, etc. I can right click any of them however and do show picture and they come up. I don't have this problem with other websites.

I've been getting quite a few "There has been a slight problem with the database" or "The server is too busy" messages since last night.

Has the server load increased significantly? Is a move in progress? Just wondering...

It's called Pruning.

Old posts are deleted after a certain period of time. There is no set date, just when the Admin feels like doing it.

Without it, I would probably have 5,000 post right now :eek:

this might just be me, but every once in a while, usualy for about 30 minuts at a time, i cant access anything on this site. i would be looking at one page, and click 'next', but nothing would happen. so i close out the window & try reentering the homepage. still nothing. i tent to sign on pretty late, so at first i thought the server shuts down for a period of time each night to get a clean reboot or something. till i realized the times were inconsistant. any thoughts?
also just curious, is there any danger of this site getting more volume than it can handle? i remember someone mentioning something about having a huge number of members.

Normally, when you hover the mouse over the name of a thread, a little text box appears and floats around, showing you the first few sentences, and it gives you an idea of what is in the thread. This isn't happening for me and it is kinda annoying because I have to go into every thread to find out what it is about :(

Any help?

Hey, I'm new here and I read through all of the stuff about these boards but I'll still have one problem. I'll reply to something and my replies won't be visible on my computer for hours... sometimes entire days. I can try refreshing or logging out and back in or leaving for a few hours and then coming back and it still will not show up. I was just wondering if that had to do with me being new and therefore closely monitored because I did read about that... or if this was my computer doing strange things. I know that with all message boards there is a delay, I've just never encountered delays that can span 3 days before. Anyway, that really is the only question I have regarding this site. Thank you for your time and effort.

I don't know if this is a pointless question or not... but I have problems logging out. I click log out and it brings me to a page that says that all cookies have been cleared... so I close the window and turn off the computer and when I come back later (which could be hours)... I'm signed into the site. Am I not logging out correctly? Is my computer being weird? And is this something that I have to worry about given how strict these boards are (and I like the strictness of it actually)... I just still worry...

Do you have a popup blocker or something similiar installed? Might even be a firewall installed that is causing that. Has it always been like that or just recently? If it started not long ago, try to think about what was installed just before it started to happen.

I notice it will do that to me if I don't let the page load fully first. If I wait around to make sure everything's loaded then it all works fine. Are you doing that? Are you running any programs that would have a similar effect?

Users who existed on the old version of the board (phpBB) but never logged in. The new board (vBB) stores the dates differently so instead of never they show up as the epoch (beginning of time) which happens to be midnight December 31st, 1969 GMT in this case adjusted to your time zone and showing up as 7pm. As for having a rep, everyone starts with 10 rep points and goes up or down from there.

I posted in the Dutchie thread, and when you check who last posted, right now it says Sas. I can't see her post, or the one I made late last night. I've refreshed the page about a million times, but it won't show the last two posts made there. In all posts made by me, my post from last night in that thread is listed, but whenever I click on it, it just brings me to Sasmod's last post yesterday at 7:50 PM. Can somebody maybe check that out?

EDIT: The same thing happens if I search for all posts made by Sas. I can see the post there, but when I click on it, it brings me back to the one made last night at 7:50 PM. I even tried going to page 171, instead of 170, but that doesn't work either. It just stays on the same old page.

I get the same (for instance, clicked quick reply and there's you're quote). I don't mind having to erase the previous reply, but I guess it means the quick reply box is not working for me.

The issue with the sitebuilder is that the new off-site backup process is taking place during that time, and the site needs to be shut down. Nothing to worry about. I will try to have the time changed to earlier in the morning.

Actually, I notced the same thing once last week. I was the last poster in a thread, and if I clicked on the thread it had my post (i am not in queue or anything). But, when I went to the forum page, it had "Last post made by X", and it was the post before mine. I figured no big deal just a little glitch, but it might be something to look into....

I was just trying to edit my "my stuff" page thing, and I accidentally ended up double posting because I cant edit, and I can (well, could) only delete posts, and I can only make posts in the Quick Reply box. So I figured instead of editing it to make a new post and go back and delete the old one so I wouldnt have a double post, and I tried to delete it and it wouldn't. Idk if the board is undergoing maintenence or something, but everytime I would try to post normally, it would say that I didnt have 20 characters even though I did.
Roar.

*sorry bout the double posting :(*

As with the previous upgrade, it is probably advisable for you to clear all your cookies (or at least those related to evboard) and log in again to ensure you have a clean slate. I was having some weird stuff in Firefox, but after I cleared my cookies it seems to be better.

It only works with the standart editor, when i use enhanced interface, the 20 character thing comes..

But I still can't use color/smileys, though I cleared all cookies..

I can't use smilies, colors, or sizes at all, unless I type them in myself. My reply box looks exactly like the Quick Reply, only bigger and with a subject line.

Not being able to edit my posts is extremely annoying. I've figured out it's only in firefox that the buttons in the edit box don't work.

I have to change to IE everytime I want to edit my post, which is not really desirable. :/

I did clear out all my firefox cookies, and well... it didn't help.OK. Here's what I've found. You have to log out of evboard. Clear all your cookies. (Maybe even restart your computer.) Log back in to evboard.

Where you used to be able to double click to "quick edit" your post, you now click once on the http://www.evboard.com/images/shady/buttons/edit.gif button in the lower right corner. That will open up the new improved "quick edit" interface. It's much more functional than it was before. Once in the "quick edit" interface, if you click on the "Go Advanced" button, it will take you to the full-blown edit interface. Give that a try.

As for not being able to get the smileys to work, make sure your editor preference is set the way you want in your USER CP.

Nope I've tried that. Deleted cookies everything. And I was already clicking on the actual 'Edit' button. Can't go to advanced from there, because the button does nothing when I click it.

It's definately a FireFox issue. Although I have popups, javascript etc etc allowed, so I can't see what the problem could be. *hopes I don't have to edit this post :p *

(But ToB should be working on the postbits banner when he gets the time.)
;)

EDIT: (agentpudge) because the Welcoming committee actually didn't have the postbits banner working before the upgrade. Their banners were put in place as a part of the custom user title. Since their banners weren't part of the postbits hack (that suffered as a result of the upgrade) they are still showing.

The correct thing to do in that situation is to PM (Private Message) a welcoming comitee member (Yellow usernames) or a mod (Red usernames), I'll also be happy to help you, if no members of the mentioned groups are on.

Most of the time your questions are answered by reading the FAQ's or the stickies, though. ;)

Tonight the site showed new threads in every single forum, including forums that have been inactive for a couple of days. Was here this morning. Entering a forum (any) showed threads that were not "new" based on my last visit time with the First Unread button next to the threadname. Clicking on one took me to the first post in the thread. Reading threads in a forum seems to cleaned up the confusion in the forum, but other forums still had the New Threads mark. Hitting something like 5 or 6 forums, and everything was suddenly up to date and correct again. :confused:

Usually when I see people's colored usernames, they show up as whatever color they picked with a white line underneath. The past few minutes or so the line keeps changing colors. Sometimes it's white, and then it randomly switches to whatever color the username is in. Here's ateniux's username as an example.

I'm seeing odd lines through pages. There usually isn't more than one per page, sometimes there is a white dash in some odd place, other times there is a thin black line through a part of the page. It sort of looks like video memory corruption but where it moves depending on what page I'm on, it's definitely not that. I also noticed that going to the top page from within a thread caused one of the white dashes to appear at the top of the main page for a second, then it disappeared and one of the black lines instead appeared through the PM link.

The first page's url is

The second (third, etc.) page's url on the first page is incorrect.

I noticed that, in the Your Stuff forum, people only get points for posting in the Unfiled/Mixed Media subforum and not in the other ones.

Seems pretty strange, so I thought I’d post about it here. :)

Trying to change an avatar, and it keeps telling me it's an invaled file.

Upload it to photobucket/imageshack or any other site like that and copy and paste the url. That should work!

Did that, still won't work. So not sure what the deal is.

There was a similar problem here: http://www.evboard.com/showthread.php?t=32067

Like I said in that thread I didn't have the problem when uploading the picture from my hard drive directly but it wasn't for the avatar.

I've been having trouble with uploading avatars as well. It doesn't matter if I upload it from my own browser or if it is from Photobucket or Imageshack..they all say invalide file.

I've noticed that every once in a while (like once every 3 or 4 days) I open a thread on here and I get a really strange gitch like this:
http://img421.imageshack.us/img421/5108/evboardglitch6ux.png

It goes away if I refresh the page.

I use firefox and I know it can be tempermental sometimes, but this is just weird.

Anyone else ever see that?

I've seen the same thing happen every now and then. I get the idea that it only happens when I scroll down while the page is still loading, but I'm not sure about that though. I'm also using Firefox.

It does the same thing to me sometimes too. Refreshing the page always fixes it.
I also get this:

:confused:OH MY GOD! I'm sorry but that first one is hilarious!

EDIT: Oh, that is strange. I've never really seen anything like that before

See how it tells me how many posts I have in that thread?
And the "Go to first new post" thing?

*shrug*

The board acts weird for me a lot lol.

For the past two days, I haven't received any email alerts from EvBoard. No Subscribed Thread notices, no PM notices, nada. They aren't going to my spam folder, either; I checked. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there some way to fix it?
