Just look there and see it on the group and the forum both working now for you it seems. Unless I am missing something there.  Are you referring to the blue on I downloaded it as well and its not animated 

Blue box is used more for editing, not so much viewing the forums.

Looks like this link may work:

http://www.botchee.com/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/admin/resources/images/sp_WaitBox.gif

that’s it as attachment, this forum must use preview plugin?

here is 4×4 icon showing Sudoku regions.

Been seeing that WaitBox a lot lately!

The group where I was trying to use it is hidden if not logged-in.

Thanks for help!

what are we trying to do here?  use an animate gif  for a forum icon??  should be no issue as long as its just a simple img tag to the animation, ie no js or external link..

Yes just simple animated gif, worked ok sometimes?

Not a big deal, just one of those weird deals .. moved on to try blog-linking and ran into another strange situation! This is a screencapture of said strange situation .. got blog-linking to work logged in as an admin, and noticed previous post (technical-difficulties-abound) displayed a link to the forum, but it was to second blog-linking post (didn’t create new forum post), the first test had failed having not changed any setting in the blog-linking plugin. Trashed, emptied trash of post then tried posting it again, this time logged in as an editor, now it does as shown in the screencapture.

The little dropdown starts to open then hangs. Tried a completely new repost, same result you can see at http://botcheegames.com/wp/ where I’m experimenting. SP looks really cool, even re-sized the attached image on the fly! Hope can resolve this little bug, maybe it will work logged-in as admin. That would help, but needs to work logged in as editor and author too. Thanks for great SP integration with WP!

If the normal operation of the blog linking form and procedure is not functioning then this would suggest we are in conflict with another plugin that is also operating in some way on new blog posts. So the first task would be to find out what. So – do you have any plugins active that in any way add components to the post edit panel – or add any sort of extra code to perform tasks associated with writing and saving a post?

Hi Yellowfish, nothing affecting blog posts that I’m aware of .. have comments disabled in favor of forum link.

Just posted another test as admin and dropdown menu was fine, but all my posts now have forum link to the new topic  http://botcheegames.com/wp/forum/community-game-forum/test-blog-linking-as-admin/

Not good .. supposed to only link each blog post to it’s associated forum topic?

Will try again as editor-tipsy

You can see test results here: http://botcheegames.com/wp/

Do you have example site where blog-linking is used?

-Gary

I am afraid you have lost me completely. I do not see erronious lins anywhere. Perhaps youy could link to a specific example?

We use it here now and then on our blog posts. You may need to go back a page or two to find one.

Duplicated the problem on another wordpress install running on a different server.

Blog-linking only generates a forum post when logged-in as admin the admin!

Please view test results currently showing at http://botchee.com

Last post by admin the admin caused all posts to have the same link to a single forum topic.

You best check your permission settings.

To make a blog linked post the user must

1. have the WordPress capability to write blog posts and
2. have the Simple:Press permission to create blog linked posts

Simple:Press Admins have this permission by default. Are you sure you have turned on this permission for your other users who can create posts under WP?

Here is a screen shot showing list of posts with the same forum link.

It works correctly if the last post is viewed singly.  

I hate to say it but I suspect this might be a problem with your WP theme. I certainly do not have this behaviour and this is a very popular and much used plugin with no other reports like this. Would it be possible for you to briefly switch to use the WordPress default theme to see if the behaviour is the same?

Thanks, setting permissions was it, why not default for SP admins?

Still shows wrong links when posts are listed on home page 

Box shows url for lower link is for retest post .. can you please fix?

As I stated – it IS turned on for SP Admins. SP Admins need no permission. You need to turn it on for all other users.

Did you read my post #12 ?

Think we posted about the same time, so saw 12 after posting 13.

When I first clicked forum logged in as Gary it gave WP admin is not SP admin pop-out notice.

Logged back in as Admin and checked all the bubbles, thinking all admin powers enabled.

No blog linking logged in as Gary the admin with all bubbles checked = post #9

Blog linking bubbles are found in the manage permissions menus under manage permission sets of which there is no admin access so must modify or create new permission set name ..
