I unmarked it and reloaded but can still not send PM’s or use the link for unread posts.

Just realized that I hijacked Eric’s thread. Maybe you guys can move my “Sending PM’s not working” and “problems with unread post links” to a new subject to keep it more organized. Sorry about that.

So, a couple of new developments.  I will create temporary WP & SP accounts a little later when I have time.  I went into my WP backend today to check on things, and it showed the SP plugin as still needing to be updated (not just the database upgraded) so I did so.  It seemed to proceed (gave me a success message) and then had the same upgrade screen available.

This time, when I pressed the blue button, I got this error message:

Upgrade Aborted
at build section: 9150
9175

Eric: If there is no message text to explain why it aborted then I think I favour a possible javascript conflict with your theme or another plugin. Or a low memory issue which we have seen before although that should, technically, be displayed as a message. The upgrade is not even getting started – just collapsing. Do you even see the progress bar at all? Any chance you could give it a try using the WP default theme?

fiddlerman: What about the account? Can you do that?

Thanks Yellow Swordfish,

Apparently Add Topic doesn’t work either.

So 3 things with this update so far.

  • PM’s
  • Add Topic
  • Unread Posts

Thanks

I’m going to take my forum down, so don’t need help with it for now.

fiddlerman: Have you recently added a plugin called something like ‘haiku minimalist audio player’? If so can you try deactivating it for a while to see if that resolves your issues?

Not really. It is just another instance of a plugin stomping all over the rules and the WP protocols. Something they have promised to try and deal with this by refusing all plugins for the repository that do this – so we live in hope!

Well I ditched that plug-in for good. Also, I would never have suspected it because the forum worked perfectly before the update. All those issues came only with the latest update.

One last question. How do you get the smileys to fold up like it does on this theme. We have so many smileys and many may not appreciate them taking up all that space before posting as they must with my forum.

At least if I could get the Submit Reply to be on top with the smiley’s below as you guys have on this theme.

for the integrated toolbar, see forum – options – display settings and choose to use the integrated toolbar…

and then see our codex article for template changes:

WOW, All I needed to do was to change that one setting and it is all perfect. Thanks

I can’t get over all the great changes you guys have made. One member was asking me if there was any way I could change a rating that she had made by mistake because she was on her iPad today and hit the wrong star. She wanted to hit a 5 star button and hit a 4 star and felt all guilty because it brought the whole average down (there was only two) LOL. Can I fix this for her?

Now for a request….. How about a Christmas Theme? kiss

Red and green and maybe some ornaments……rolleys

well, afraid no easy way to change the vote… you would have to go into the database and tweak the data…

have talked about a Christmas theme… but starting to get late – so might not happen…

Well thanks anyway. I know what it is like to not have time to complete the planned projects.

But if you do get one made I’d love to hear about it so that I can change the theme on Xmas Eve forward a little while.

Thanks for everything.
