Is the ability to upload picture to an album malfunctioning right now? Whenever I try to load a BIN file, it always says "Invalid File"

Small Suggestion : Being able to put Smilies or whatever they're called in your Location

The VB Developers haven't even fixed this issue yet.

Are you talking to me or Frown?

She was referring to Frown.

Q: Is anyone experiencing some errors with the board at random times? Using Classic Blue right now.

This is what I get:

This webpage is not available.

The webpage at http://www.smashboards.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&postid=7867251 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

More information on this error

And once it does come back, how do we acquire this premium membership?

Donating money (most likely via paypal) The money collected will go towards funding smash tournaments.

We're not entirely sure what it is. "I think it's actually related to the server somehow. Don't know why it happens or how to fix it, but I think it's on the server side." ~Kiki.

Which means it'll most likely be fixed when we get the long awaited VB upgrade.

Another when I click to input my name it redirects me to the website userstage why?
Also I did scan my computer and found no viruses whats so ever or ad ware so what gives fir the redirect to that website

What?

I'll bring it up, but I can see it not being favored if someone decides to spam wide-smileys such as :newbie:

Yeah, something else that was broke when we moved to MLG servers. It's on the to-do list for them.

This is what I get:

Not sure, might be tied to the problem mentioned abouve about Rev style.

 

[flaco]

I meant to say that when I try to log in with my user name it redirects me to userstage.com why does these happened

 

[victra♥]

Are mods the only people who can embed videos? I'm just wondering how Chaco embedded his Parkour vid. :/

 

[Chaco]

Yes mods and up are the only ones able to use HTML.

I think the userstage.com windows you are getting are pop-ups.

 

[uhmuzing]

Couldn't you apply limits to repitition or allow only smilies of specific size or less? Eh, it was only a thought.

 

[Clownbot]

Oh, I just remembered something.

Legend of Zelda Forum.

 

[flaco]

I think the userstage.com windows you are getting are pop-ups.

I checked my pc for any ad ware viruses pop ups and malware and spyware so I think it might be something else

 

[Deleted member]

Why can't we see the Proving Grounds?

 

[uhmuzing]

I have a small question - I sort of want to capitalize the first letter in my username, but there isn't a way to do that, is there?

EDIT: Never mind. I actually like my name not capitalized.

 

[flaco]

let me clarefy the link it sends me to

http://www.ourstage.com/go/spark?utm_source=Spark&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=SparkOriginal

why?

 

[uhmuzing]

Suggestion - When a new member of the site first enters a forum, there could be like a pop-up or flashing notice or whatever giving a link to that Forum's Rules and/or the Global Rules. I just think something like that could be helpful since alot of new members don't read the Stickied threads before posting or they break a rule and then read the rules.

 

[Azua]

We're actually working on that right now. It'll be rolled out with the FAQ Room.

 

[POKE40]

What does "referrals" mean?

I found it under statistics in the tabs under your profile.

It is a "good" thing right?

 

[Airgemini]

Referrals are when you direct someone to this site.
When new people regester they have a thing were they can type the name of someone who referred them to the site.

 

[flaco]

Hello guys mods and admins
I have a suggestion why wont you guys put a chatterbox product inside the admin panel in products for the forum?

 

[SuperStar21]

Why do we continue to make MK banning threads when we are never going to ban him

 

[Mota]

What requirements are there to post a thread in the User Blog, because it says I can't?

 

[Jonkku]

In lack of a better place, I ask this here:

Is it possible to get strikes (i.e. these) and spoilers (

Spoiler

this

) to work in the Social Group messages?
Along with other BB code currently not in use there.

 

[Mota]

Urgh also when I subscribe to a thread, does it give me notifications and updates? where and how?

Recent threads I've subscribed to have had new posts in them but there seems to be no notice.

 

[Jonkku]

Well, they show up in your User CP main page if there's new posts there.. And I believe you can set it to send you an email either 1) For every post made there 2) Every day if new posts are made or 3) Every week (if new posts are posted).

Personally I don't bother with emails (I only have one because almost every webpage that needs registering require you to give an email address), so I've turned it completely off.


You should check your subscription options (User CP -> Edit options -> "Default thread subscription mode".. If it says "No email notification", then that's why you haven't been notified of the threads you've recently subsrcibed to.... I think.

I could be horribly wrong though.
I also realised just now that you probably knew most of that stuff already. (It's pretty common sense tbh.)

 

[Mota]

Lol FinNess that was just the answer I needed.

I moronically assumed that subscribed thread updates would appear in your notices or at least the front page somewhere, to me it seems more practical that way, instead of opening up another page just to see updates...

*facepalm*

 

[POKE40]

What requirements are there to post a thread in the User Blog, because it says I can't?

There are no requirements.

Go to the "News" section on the smashboards.
=>My Blogs
=> Create blog
Presto!

Curious Question: Does MLG do all the nice updates? I like to see new stuff

 

[Mota]

Lolz I'm asking alot of questions, I've heard there's a way you can check the number of times an individual has posted in a particular thread. How ?

That's something that will be added when we get the long awaited forum update.

Curious Question: Does MLG do all the nice updates? I like to see new stuff

If the question is "Is the MLG responsable for forum updates?" then yes. Do they do them? Well...

Lolz I'm asking alot of questions, I've heard there's a way you can check the number of times an individual has posted in a particular thread. How ?

I think you can see that if at the top of a thread you click "Search this thread" and put in someone's username. I think that should be it.

 

[Frown]

I think you can see that if at the top of a thread you click "Search this thread" and put in someone's username. I think that should be it.

It's easier to click on the number of replies a thread has.

 

[D13]

I suggest that deleted comments in your profile be completely deleted. Right now, it just leaves a message that says "this comment has been deleted", which kind of defeats the purpose.

 

[Azua]

Wait, you guys can't do that?

 

[victra♥]

nope lol. It's the same for when you try to delete a comment from a group.

Wow I was meaning to ask that for the loooongest time but I guess I just kept forgetting.

 

[Azua]

Should be fixed.

 

[D13]

I just tested it again. What you did must not have worked because I'm still getting those messages.

After hitting the delete button, it goes to a screen with a selected circle that says "Enable soft delete?" and gives you a text box to put a reason for deletion. I think the main problem is that you can't uncheck the soft delete option.

Thanks for the quick action, anyway. I hope this gets fixed soon. :]

 

[Azua]

Lame, I guess it doesn't work for non-moderator groups then.

 

[Airgemini]

Actually, I can't permanently delete either.

I think it's only enabled on some accounts.
Not sure what's the problem though.

 

[victra♥]

Yeah I think what Air said is true. I see some people delete posts without the message where as some don't.

Weird.

 

[Azua]

I ****ing hate vbulletin.

Just putting that out there.


Edit:

yep, I just checked. It's not even an option in the usergroup cpanel. Sorry guys

Supermod+ have the ability to remove visitor messages as far as the moderator cpanel goes.
I wish VB made sense and would allow people to just physremove their own messages and nobody else's, but it's either all or nothing. :\
