"New Posts" not working


The identical thing happened to me late this morning (PC, tried both Firefox and Chrome) and my wife (Mac, Safari) but it resolved itself late this afternoon. Don't know what was going on, but the screen was as shown and when I logged in, I got the header with a nice solid blue screen - no text or pix.

Things are working fine this morning. Maybe the forum didn't want to be bothered during the playoff games :)

I'm not getting the text view any more. However I opened the new posts search which had a good long list and read a few. If I hit refresh or new posts again the ones I read would be marked as read. The do not now until I explicitly mark all posts read

I still can't post to some subgroups which seemed to happen about the same time

Works with the Matech and Heritage skins. Still screwed up with the others. Fine for me as I use the former.

I remember that this same defect occurred about 5-6 years ago.

Once again, RED car background is discriminated against. And on MLK day to boot. Oh the horror.

I haven't had the text version since yesterday afternoon and while this morning and early afternoon the "followed links" part of the new posts was still broken it is now working just as before.

I still have regions that I think I can't post or reply to though :)

Likely related to expiry of paid subscription. The subscription script hadn't been running for a loooooong time.

Ah! I thought the section said it was open to owners. But I do see that the little thingie dropped off the left side now that you mention it. Where is the link to sign up again? It was well hidden and doesn't jump out right now.

"Post New Thread" Page Intermittant

I don't know if others have had similar issues, but I've had a lot of trouble using the "Post New Thread" page in each of the sections. Often, I've put up a Title and a few words, then used the "edit" post to put in the rest of the information - "paste" from a "copy," inserting an image or a video, etc. Seems like that page has a problem - anyone else had these issues?

RALPHIE, yes, posting new threads has been a PITA since the last one or two vBulletin updates. It's worst with Internet Explorer. Letters skipped while typing, capital letters changed to lower case like an out of control auto-correct, cannot upload photos, sometimes cannot edit text. Chrome is better, but still can only upload one photo at a time (used to be four).
