Yet another upgrade

[Nicola]

There will be another upgrade soon. The forum will be offline while I do it - can't say when yet. Should fix a few bugs in the system (and probably introduce a few more)...

[juliadebeauvoir]

Hurrah! Just remember that my new message box says I have six messages all the time, even though I don't

Thanks,
Kim

[Nicola]

It should be fixed with this one!! We shall see. Am just getting my head round it all before I start.

[juliadebeauvoir]

No hurry...thanks!

- I've got two from the same person.

[Nicola]

Well - it has been done and I think that was quite painless. Please let me know if there are any problems.

Kim - I'll post the official steps you may need to follow to get rid of your 'new messages'. Read this:

"This was quite a common bug in RC7 where the pm counter would tell users there were a number of new private messages waiting, however the users inbox would be empty. This bug has been fixed in the RC8 release however a number of users have been reporting they are still getting the incorrect private message counter in the header.

Users who are still experiencing this issue should do the following

Click the link (if visible) to release any messages which are on hold.
Send themselves (or get another user to send them) a private message.

In short, the counter will only be fixed if all 'on hold' messages have been released or if the user receives a new private message."

Hopefully that will work. Let me know.

ps - of course I need to get rid of the blue (again), sort out various other colours and stop various buttons overlapping each other.

[David]

It it just me or have the italics stopped working?

[Wabznasm]

Wahey. Finally I won't have to log on anymore and think myself popular with 4 PMs before inevitably being dissapointed.

Great job
Dave

[juliadebeauvoir]

Thanks Nicola. My six messages are officially gone. It worked!

[Nicola]

David - Italics? Just used the bbcode and it seems ok. Make sure the 'disable bbcode' button isn't ticked at the bottom of your posts. Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

[barrie]

I can't get the italics to work - nor any of the others come to that. My phantom messages have gone though.

[Nicola]

Barrie - are you using the bbcode? Just testing again
[tab]Tab[/tab]
[tab][/tab][tab]Tab x 2[/tab]
Is the 'disable bb code' box ticked at the bottom of your posts? I'll have a look at your user profile as well.
Test colour

All seems ok here

[barrie]

No, the BB code box isn't ticked.

[Nicola]

Well, I don't know what the problems is, your profile is set up to allow bbcode. Is it any code or just italics?

Anyone have this problem? Please experiment with bbcodes and see if they work.

All seem to work for me.

[barrie]

It's all the codes - unless it's all my brain, I wouldn't be surprised. Each time I click on to a code box, I am informed, on the bottom left of my screen, that there is 'Error on page.'

Mind you, I am using Vista, so maybe that's got something to do with it.

Clueless.

[barrie]

It can't be Vista, Nic - I'm using Windows XP on a different machine now, but still experiencing the same problem.

Still Clueless

[Nicola]

Ummmmm - not sure.

I will consult the phpbb oracle and see if it is a common problem. Haven't seen it come up yet -perhaps you have found a new bug!

[Nicola]

Actually, have just spotted a problem in the permissions settings. I've altered it now so can you try again??

[barrie]

Still getting the same 'Error on page' message..... I suppose I can learn to live without code (sigh)...

[Nicola]

Oh bugger -

I'm off for my dinner - will have a think about it. As a matter of interest - does it matter which forum you post in? does it work in some and not others?
