Smilies not working?

[Brian M]

Am I not the only one that doesn't see a smily face when is posted?

I figured something with my latest firefox update was causing it, but another member just mentioned it.

Hmm...maybe I should ask the forum admin to look into it. Oh...uh....crap, that's me, isn't it? :rolleyes: (That didn't work either, did it?)

[AKmud]

Not working for me either.....:mad:

noticed it after the system was down for a bit a few days ago...

Well at least I am not the only one blaming my computer.

I have also been getting an odd page flash when I post something. It says something like "Thank you for posting. Would you like to return to previous page?" or something like that. Got to read fast since it's gone in a couple seconds. Also been very slow and not loading at all at times. It started about midnight last Sunday I think.

So who broke it?

After we had another Database Error, I had an html code come up with the above 'Thank you for posting. Would you like to return to previous page' and it was in the upper left hand side of my redirect.
Ever since then I haven't been able to see the similies. That's been... probably 2-3 days or so.

I agree with Risky in that I just assumed that there are bigger fish to fry as well... so *shrugs* I was just going to wait it out.

It's really okay. :mad::cool::eek: Nope... none of those worked. I didn't even get the error message that says 'you can only have 4 images'.

Last night they were even gone from the right side of the reply box where you click on them to insert in your post. Then today about 2pm the forum was completely down for a while and when it came back up they were back over there. I don’t know if they are working on the database or if its just unstable for some reason. Something is going on with it but I’m sure they will get it hammered out before too long.

Is it just the smilies or is it images 2?

Site maintenance

Hi folks,

We've had our IT folks working on a bunch of updates, cleanouts and maintenance over the last three days.

They're mostly done now, so we should not be seeing the database errors and slow page load times. Performance should be really good now.

I'll pass this info on to them and see if we can get it fixed.

Thanks for your patience, everyone!

No pics either, Lu!

I was going to pop a pic of Jeff Spicoli and Mr. Hand in the Phelps "pot" thread (shame on me) and I couldn't.

Probably a good thing!

Ok... Hopefully you will now see a smilee face...

The code fix was pretty easy, and is the result of a very minor incompatability between OS modules and the vbulletin software. A quick code hack sorted it all out.

Alas, smilees posted whilst the trouble was in effect WILL NOT be visible as images (as it was a problem occuring with a processing script). You can always edit your post and re-submit it, though, to have the smilees show through.

PS. You guys have a pretty meagre selection of smilees. Ever thought of adding some more?

[muskeg]

I have never seen the smilee face selection ... do I have something turned off?

I get them on another board that is exactly like this one.

Johnnie:

I believe you need to request the administrator to enable the function for you.

(Can I ask the derivation of that name??)

It is my understanding on this Forum there is only a 15-20 minute window to edit; after which it requires administator involvement!

CAREFUL WHAT YOU SUGGEST!
That could translate into a lot of menial labor on the Admin's part for some compulsive smilee hungry posters!

More emoticons would be AWESOME!

I say 'bring 'em on!'

... and THANKS to the Admins and IT's for the maintenance and upgrades!
