We'll be updating to a new version sometime soon... we're trying to hold out until WYSIWYG for Chrome is released which is supposed to be in the next version.

is there a way to eliminate multi quotes once you click away from a page as opposed to it still being there till you get rid of it manually?

Two part question ...

When I quote another post --

There are two links to that post in the Quote box. One is the http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for...quote_icon.png and one is http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for...post-right.png. Clicking on either of these, when I'm browsing in Chrome, will open a new tab of the image, and go to the quoted posted in my initial tab.

So here are the questions ... is this only Chrome behavior, or does it happen to everyone? And can this be fixed?

EDIT: Seems like when I mouse over the images I get a "Click to enlarge" tooltip, like they're images that are re-sized in the post. Now that's weird, and that suggests it's something royally screwed in the Quote style itself, not something we did.

Yeah... it's a plug-in that we have on the board that is designed to resize large images and force you to click on them to view them full size. Unfortunately it doesn't do it with just large images, it also does it with any image (like the two you pointed out). I want to find a different/better one but just haven't made the time... plus may just hold off until we update vBulletin itself since this is the first complaint that I'm aware of.

Interesting. You would think that plug-in would have a minimum to resize.

I've updated the boards to the latest version, 4.1.3. I already see a handful of a styling issues with the default skin but let me know if you have any problems with the board functioning properly.

It might have been because you were trying to access it while I was doing the update. Let me know if you encounter it again.

It's a WIP as it will be anytime a major upgrade to VBulletin is made.

Is missing from the end of the page again. I remember we had this problem with a previous update, but I can't even begin to remember what was done to fix it.

Yes! Thank you so much cdj! You never realize how much you could miss that until you have to either scroll all the way up to the top of the page or click left on your middle mouse button to go back to the previous page.

I never appreciated it until JB and you guys talked me into installing now. Now I hate surfing sites without it.

How did you add the youtube video? I tested it hitting the film strip icon and pasting the URL and it works correctly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI0r9Pw1CB4

As for the edit, I'm looking into that issue... I've seen others report something similar after upgrading so trying to follow in their footsteps.

You can add any video link by just typing this:

HTML Code:

[video]video url here[/video]
04-28-2011, 02:18 PM
morsdraconis

And you can do the same thing with images, just replace video with img and you're good to go.

Just FYI, I've found the solution to fix the Edit Post error as well as the grayed-out row below the post. To fully fix it though, I'm going to have to rebuild some elements of the board style so it may be a day or two before it's fully available. Just learn not to make a mistake and you'll be good til then :)

FYI - whenever I try to edit/save a post it takes forever and the hour glass just stays up and the little circle just spins and spins.....

I figured you'd just use it as an opportunity to post edits as new posts. For whoring purposes, of course.

Don't know if this is related, but tonight I don't appear to have the ability to click "Go Advanced" after picking "Edit Post". A night or two ago I had that ability.

No you didn't. You can click Go Advanced in the post new reply but not when editing.

Actually ...
If you hit Edit Post ... then hit Edit Post again, you can get to the Advanced screen. I must've done it accidentally a couple days ago, 'cause I just did it again. And I know it was the Advanced screen because it shows a different interface for deleting a post, which is when I first noticed I could delete a post.

FWIW, you can actually edit posts that way too. They save under that method. Though apparently I'm not getting an "Edited by" message, so I can't really prove it.

EDIT: Though getting Smooth to quote you in mid-edit apparently works.
