I have had similar posts and comments made on my site and PM’s sent. Thanks for posting these Jennie.

I also have one guy that cannot find the PM even though he has and uses the PM on the other site that I have. I went into his settings to see whether or not he had the “Opt out of PM” option checked but he did not.

Also, a lot of complaints about the quote function. I personally do not have any trouble with it but many have complained and they never complained before the upgrade. I’ll try to get you guys better details as to the issues later.

Thanks guys.

Jennie,

not sure where to start – since this is a first report for many of these with over ten thousand folks having upgraded thus far…

nothing was touched in the recent upgrade regarding unread or recent posts (at least that we are aware of)…  do you have a link to your site?  this is happening for all users?

can you explain further on insert image?  are you referring to the file uploader plugin? or the image url inserter on tinymce?  if latter, check your forum – components – tinymce editor panel and make sure you have image and media listed and not imagemedia…  this was an issue long ago – not on this upgrade…

if you do mean the file uploader, do you have the latest file uploader? and if so, are  you using the older toolbar layout for our buttons (ie smileys, filer uploader, pollse, etc) or have you changed over to the new integrated toolbar (like on this site with all our special buttons in single area)?

Fiddlerman,

please elaborate… what is happening with quotes???  and with pm’s sent???  in the integrated pm inbox (since 5.0), sent pms are just co-mingle with received pms – there is not a separate location for them…

What I meant to say is that I have had similar complaints as Jennie. Didn’t do much about it since I can’t recreate there troubles with my system.

See below the complaints. They are not very clear, I know. Even less clear than me right?

Hi Pierre,

Typing to a Quote, doesn’t work. No typed word I’d inserted.

On normal “reply” it seems fine until I try and go back and edit text, then it just hangs.

Hi Pierre,

Randomly, I stillan’t use the forum.

Basic problem

Is I can’t go back and edit and sometimes it tells me I can’t post as I haven’t types a response.

The next two have to do with Violaman.com instead of Fiddlerman.com

Here are a few more:

lets try something real quick and easy… can you go edit the sp-config.php file in the simple-press root directory and add this line:

define(‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false);

that helped a couple… lets see about you…

Okay, I went into Components to check, and the list does say “imagemedia” rather than “image and media.” How do I fix that? And how did I get it in the first place? I have the latest versions of both the forum software and the TinyMCE plugin…

if you do mean the file uploader, do you have the latest file uploader? and if so, are  you using the older toolbar layout for our buttons (ie smileys, filer uploader, pollse, etc) or have you changed over to the new integrated toolbar (like on this site with all our special buttons in single area)?

On this one, I have no clue. You can check my forum at http://sensibility.com/community/message-forum. I installed the new message forum in October and just upgraded a little over a week ago.

Thanks for your help!

Jennie

TinyMCE Editor: The entry ‘imagemedia’ in the list should simply have a comma between the two words so it becomes ‘image,media’ (without the quotes of course). Enter the comma and update the panel.

We can not tell from your forum display. To check the version go to the forum admin > Toolbox > Environment. What is the version number shown against ‘File Uploader with plUpload’? Then please go to forum admin > Options > Global Display Settings and let us know if the option ‘Use the integrated editor options toolbar’ is turned on (i.e., green) or not.

Bingo! Now the image uploader is back. Thanks.

File Uploader with Plupload (1.3)

Under “General Display Settings,” the “integrated editor options toolbar” is unchecked. Should I check it?

Thanks!

Jennie

re integrated toolbar…  that is up to you… take a look at how all of our optional sp buttons (smileys, options, attachments, reply, cancel, preview, etc) are all grouped together  now… and compare to yours where they are always shown and in distinct regions…  which do you like better?

if you want to switch to the integrated toolbar, be sure to check out our codex article on theme settings to utilize:

http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/installation/changes/theme-and-templates-5-2-0/

there is no need or requirement to switch to it if you dont want too… I asked the question because I was (and still am) unsure as to the mechanics your user was attempting to do… were they using (or wanted) the button in tinymce or the attachments button from the file uploader plugin?

did the change to image,media give you the desired results?

Yes, adding that comma put the image upload button back in the toolbar! Thanks. I’ll check into the integrated toolbar to see if I want to use it instead.

MANY thanks!

Cheers,

Jennie

Well, I still have issues with some users who find the forum “hangs” if they login with IE (even with IE9), but this might be a WP issue–not a forum issue. Still trying to puzzle this one out, as I can’t reproduce the errors on my end, and the tech guy who wrote my theme can’t, either! Frustrating.

The other problem with the timestamping of posts was mentioned in my first post above. Not sure if that’s a bug or a browser issue….

Really appreciate the speedy help with forum problems!

Cheers,

Jennie

Hello!

I upgraded to the latest version of the software over a week ago, and my users have found some problems. This was the first message I got:

Jennie the icon for the “Unread and recently updated topics” section is no longer functioning reliably.  Geneece made a post, about 50 minutes ago and it’s not showing in this particular section, but you can see it listed on the main forum’s page, which is how I spotted it.  I was trying to stick with the ‘unread and recently updated topics’ portion of the board, helping me to quickly scan if there were new posts.

Then this:

Regarding the ‘recently post’ icons on the front page of the forums, it’s not working in Chrome, BUT, it’s working on my smart phone!  Haven’t a clue why it’s not working in Chrome or FF, not sure about those who are able to use IE if they can see those icons or not.

 

I have this problem too after updating to 5.22. The former version worked well.

I click the “mark-read” button, but nothing happen.

As Steve said above there were no changes in this area and this thread is the only one that alludes to any issues.

So – what, exactly, do you mean by ‘nothing happens’?
