Forum Bug Reporting

[TinCow]

Apologies, I asked for people to report forum bugs in the downtime thread, forgetting that members cannot post in there. Please report issues that have arisen as a result of the most recent upgrade in this thread. There were several significant changes in how vbulletin handles styles, so there may be some issues with our custom styles.

Found a way to circumvent the issue of the forum insisting on sending me the default skin regardless of what I select on my Settings page in Opera 12. It involves altering the site specific browser settings of forums.totalwar.org: I needed to change how the browser identifies itself, I went with “Mask as Firefox”.

Sounds like an Opera-specific issue then, but I'll do some research and see if I can find what is causing it. Others are bound to be experiencing it as well.

I use Opera 11.52 and haven't found any issues with selecting skins in it so far.

It isn't Opera's JavaScript environment which suddenly behaves any different if you toggle the switch. (It doesn't suddenly gain full Firefox compatibility or drop Opera features.) The only software which does behave differently now is the VBulletin code -- implying it relies on browser sniffing to select different code paths...

Therefore that looks to me more like hacks in the forum code failing to work ...

Tellos, can you clarify whether you were experiencing this problem on a mobile or desktop device? We've found similar issues with style selection which seem to be related to the upgrade, but so far every other example we've experienced or found comments about is related to a mobile device, not a desktop device.

Opera 12 on a laptop.

If I report a bug and it gets fixed can I have the bug report thread named after me?

When I select the embed video button in the Quick Reply editor, it pops up the window and I add the YouTube link. If I then hit "Go Advanced", it goes to a white screen, then the usual advanced editor, but with the following text at the top of the page:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/class_bbcode.php(432) : eval()'d code on line 1

It doesn't affect the post at all, but it's a weird artifact.

Firefox v3.6.24

Thanks for finding this. The problem was caused by a conflict with a bbcode module we were running. I have disabled the module and the error no longer occurs. I'm not sure whether this will impact some of our custom bbcode though, so please let me know if you see any of it behaving abnormally.

When I edit my post and then choose "Go Advanced" option my post becomes total mess. What ever formatting I had before will be nullified.

I can confirm this bug. It is a vBulletin issue which has been patched in the next release. I have no idea when that will come out though, so I will try and find a way to fix it manually before then.
