Cellar upgrade - Page 4

Kitsune · 03-15-2006, 02:47 PM

I was replying to a post when Microsoft Word threw an exception, causing Windows to dump and bluescreen. In the process, I lost a very important political rant that I was sure would have finally proven my point and guaranteed my victory in the argument. Also, my mouse freezes now and then despite replacing the MS drivers.

And my ass itches.

(sorry - I just feel bad for UT who seems to be encountering so many issues with this upgrade. We've all been in software hell, before. Good luck to you, sir!)

I'll see if I can figure out when it works, and when it doesn't.

When I use Firefox, I open each thread in a new tab. In some tabs, I can open the search box, in others, I can't. It's weird. I see no pattern. Except in the first tab, I seem to always be able to open the search box.

Fairly unimportant bug: The "Quick Links" link does nothing for me when clicked on from a "New Posts" search, but it works from any other page.

Edit: Wait, I lied. It works on some thread pages, but not on others. Don't see a pattern.

Mmkay, how about now?

I still can't do links anymore except by posting the entire url. I can't do that nice little put in a word and give the link. Same problem LJ has, I think. I try clearing cache and now my e-mail isn't working either. The e-mail is not your prob, UT, I know. Just feeling a tad frustrated at the moment. Probably not as frustrated as you are feeling, though!

I am really loving the "Posts below this line haven't been updated since you were last here, but there's stuff you haven't seen in them" thingy.

Very, very helpful for me.

I might even be able to start reading at work. The old time sensitive New Post search was annoying.

Oh, and what does "Switch Editor Mode" do in the WYSIWYG editor, other than change the background color?

Undertoad · 03-16-2006, 09:07 AM

Switch editor mode: put in some formatted text and change modes, and you'll see.

I had not noticed that the up-down arrows there next to "switch editor mode" actually changes the size of the quick reply box.

This vBulletin version is the best ever, I gotta hand it to them, they have really done a nice job with it.

Oooooooh.

Now I get it.

Elspode · 03-16-2006, 02:33 PM

Am I the only one who still can't get the Earth/Link icon to do what it did before, namely, ask for the text you want to have as a link, then ask you for the url you wish to link to in a second popup?

xoxoxoBruce · 03-16-2006, 02:47 PM

I can't.

Search button seems to always be working now.

Whatever you did, thanks.

Undertoad · 03-16-2006, 03:11 PM

Just highlight the text you want to link, and then hit the link button. It'll ask what you want for an URL. Hit OK and your link is done.

Elspode · 03-16-2006, 04:43 PM

Hey...that's kinda cool. Not exactly self-explanatory, but cool nonetheless.

Thanks, UT!
