Whats new

Well happy we are back on-line. I have tried the quick responce, does not seem to work, yet I see the window at the bottom of the page. I probably am missing something. Glad the site is up again, thanks for all the work it must have taken Oh the smilies don't seem to be working

I had accidently turned this on in testing. Given that you must click reply before the quick reply is editable I thought it would be better to turn it off now since it would likely cause more questions than provide a convenience.

Thanks

Time stamp on post

"Today 10:06 PM mferguson I had accidently turned this on in testing. Given that you must click reply before the quick reply is editable I thought it would be better to turn it off now since it would likely cause more questions than provide a convenience."

Thanks

Mark, why is your time stamp reading 10:06 PM when it is now 7:18 PM (19:18 EST). here. Where are you with that time zone?
When I just reopened this to edit it there wasn't any pop up for a reason why. < Thats OK with me though just a heads up. Wait a min. now the Reason for Editing just poped up.

Just replying to see what's different. It took quite a while for the reply window to open... but I like the changes! Is the spell-check new? Smilies look to be unchanged...

Hey, can we upload our own avatars yet? When I looked, I saw this language:

Note: if you have a custom avatar selecting this option will delete it.

I recall somethig like that b4, so maybe this is not an option still...

Love how fast it is to edit! However, I'd like to add a thumbs-up smilely now, but don't see it availalbe in edit mode...

Ah... advanced mode Very nice Mark!

The spell check is an IE only thing. Here is the the blurb from the makers of vBulletin regarding spell checking...

Jelsoft has integrated IESpell into the vBulletin Rich Text Editor. This automatically shows up if you are using an IESpell enabled browser. The developers will integrate other browser based solutions as they become available. Currently IESpell only works in Internet Explorer but they are working on a firefox version.
As for custom avators...that is something that will be coming after the first of the year with some other good stuff.

When I view the timestamp its showing 5:06PM which was correct for my time zone (Mountain). Are you still seeing this post and others with big time offsets? Just to rule it out go to your User CP->Edit Options and make sure you double check your time and date settings.

Thanks!

No...most of the features I develop can be done without taking the site down. Given that we were roughly 10 revisions behind on vBulletin I wanted to get it up to the current release so I could develop on the latest and greatest version. Now that I've done this and put together a means of handling it more quickly (it was about two days of prep and less than 24 hours for the actual migration versus the month of prep and two days downtime that it took last year). Recently I did a minor revision upgrade on a test site in well under an hour so I don't expect there to be any big migration downtimes in the immediate future.

Thanks for the scoop Mark. FWIW, I show your post #7 with a time stamp of 5:52pm, which corresponds with where I'm at (PDT)...

It should automatically convert the time stamp to the time zone you have set in your User CP/Options. When I look at it it shows 6:52PM so it is correct for Mountain time as well.

Which version of Firefox are you using? Also are you on a Mac or Windows? I run Firefox all the time and haven't had any problems with smilies.

Fixed in cp

" Just to rule it out go to your User CP->Edit Options and make sure you double check your time and date settings." I found I had selected Mid- Atlantic, the wrong time zone."
I also just got to copy and paste with Foxfire, thats cool . before I had to use the browser edit to do that.
I chose the second option for editing
Thanks

I have now downloaded firefox 1.07, and it still will not let smilies work. Older version of Mozzila seems to work fine. I'm running on windows xp.

All I can do on firefox is post text Nothing else works. And it worked fine before the site upgrade.

Check out this post relative to Firefox and Mozilla....this may resolve the problem you are seeing as I suspect the problem is because the updated javascript code for vBulletin hasn't been updated in your browser cache.

Let me know if this does or does not resolve the issue.

Thanks!
