Although I'm sorry for any difficulties anyone may be having using this message board, I don't believe reverting to 6.5 is a viable course of action. I haven't experienced any problems using the three browsers that I own to warrant such an action.

If you want to affect change on future updates of the UBB.classic, I suggest letting your voice be heard here .

And it appears that PowWeb is more powerful than the upgrade.

I don't think anybody is calling for reverting to the earlier version, from what I can see ... though being on the trailing edge of such things rarely ends up being a bad idea.

We certainly do appreciate all of your efforts, Gary. It's far from a minimal amount of effort to keep track of it all. I do have to wonder, though, whether what you last said meant that you won't be investigating anything further from what we've reported so far.

I, for one, hope you can find out what may be so severely eroding performance with Netscape/Mozilla. My needing five minutes to type in a posting of this length -- or about twice what it took for me to open another text editor, type, cut, and paste -- shouldn't be a part of the experience.

That link above will take you to the same place that I'll be looking for answers. I'll also be looking in UBBDev for possible remedies. But I'm not sure there's much I can do to fix it without recoding Netscape/Mozilla. It may be just like the Alt tag - beyond my control.

How's the speed now without the animated background?

Almost back to the way it was before.

I hope you didn't take my rant about the lack of full HTML control badly Gary. I know what a beast this place is to rebuild and appreciate all the hard work you've been doing. My beef is with the UBB idiot who didn't bother to put all HTML codes into the program. And such a simplistic piece too.

Ditto Scott immediately above. Allowing only the UBB Code for users is one thing -- it makes matters easier by limiting the effect of changes in individual posts. But not allowing such HTML for Webmasters' control? That makes no sense.

As I just noted on Bevis's thread, yes, the flashing background (which didn't flash for me) appears to have been the culprit, as speeds are now back to past-normal. Worth a try, but thanks for changing it back.

Grey, I'm almost certain that that's not what Scott meant. I think he refers to the UBB links, which previously opened in a new window but now don't.

No, Grey is right. I was referring to the fact that before when Gary or I used HTML in the Control Panel to add things like the links to the creator sites, we could use full HTML, including the call to open a link in a different window. Now when trying to use that same basic code it only screws it all up instead showing the code rather than just the link.

What gets me is it specifically says in the CP that HTML is enabled. If it is enabled then why can't I put in a very basic piece of code?

And problem solved. For now. It appears that everytime you save in the CP where you are allowed to use HTML it reverts to UBB code which strips out the target=_blank. Apparantly there is no corresponding UBB code. So as long as we don't re-edit that forum's settings everything will be okay. Otherwised we have to redo the HTML code everytime.

Not that I even pretend to understand what is going on here with the technical talk, but I got this message when I tried to open the second page of the Olivier Coipel wrap around cover thread in Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Remedies...

"Hack attempt logged or corrupt/altered member file found with extra fields. ('00000362')"

Just FYI.

I use the smilies so much I've only just noticed, but the "Instant Graemlins" page linked from the Quick Reply box is blank.

OKay, I double-posted on the Secret HQ thread in the Legion forum, and first when I tried to delete one of the posts, I was told that "Only administrators or moderators may perform this action". Then, when I tried the other post, I got this:

Hack attempt logged. You may not leave out the reply number while editing.

What's going on?

Thanks Mike. I've corrected that one and you should be able to get to that page now.

I believe Gary is still working on rebuilding the Graemlin hack.

Hmm. New one on me. And it looks like it deleted the extra post. At least it wasn't there when I just checked.

Gary?

Okay, weird - it IS gone, after telling me that it wasn't going to.

Maybe that was why I got the "no reply number" on the second post (I was trying to edit a post that wasn't there), but it doesn't explain why it apparently refused me yet didn't.

Perhaps you didn't say "please"

Actually the quick reply Instant Graemlins is part of the program. It appears that the smilie mod has corrupted it though. I'll need to look at solutions.

One step forward, two steps back. Don't you just love technology Gary?

I checked. Everybody should have the ability to edit or delete their own posts. Let me know if the problem happens again and I'll report it to Infopop as a bug.

Yup.

Well, I just checked and the Smilie Mod I used is ported to 6.6 (which didn't have the quick reply), several of us have asked that it get ported to 6.7. I may try to work on this myself once I finish getting us updated to the old mods.

And BTW, I had to figure out a bug with the calendar hack last night and posted the solution to UBBDev!

Cool! Gary's becoming a Grade A Hacker!
