That TERRIBLE quoting error is still in full swing too. It keeps every post you've quoted in the thread and never deselects it even after you respond.

PLEASE fix this

I think I'm seeing a related error when I view some threads. Depending on the Browser, the behaviour is different. Firefox seems to hang, Chrome and Internet Explorer show some threads with tons of broken image icons mixed up with the text. This is a screencap of what I see on the screen when viewing this thread with Chrome between the first and 2nd posts, and the rest of the posts after 2nd appear broken:
What imports are "better" than the US releases?



I've been seen the same problem appearing kind of randomly with other threads but with this thread I see it all the time. It's been happening for the past couple of days.

Sometimes I see weird <br /> tags appearing in those threads instead of the broken images, I think it's got something to do with that kind of tags...

I'm seeing this kind of problem more and more. This thread:

Catalogs, how important are they for BD success?

has a few posts where the "broken image link" appears but not quite like Kannisto's post.

Lots of terrible errors today (using current version of Firefox):
1) Several occurrences of the glitch where you go to post a sentence or two of text, and it tells you that you're trying to post some ungodly amount of images (documented above)

2) Several database errors for the forums, but not the main site

3) Then the entire site was down, and I received a loading error message of "Oops, HDD just went down in flames. An email has been sent so hopefully it's fixed soon" (pretty unprofessional message)

4) The quoting bug that VB4 brings, where it retains past quoted posts, is still very much at large - and incredibly annoying

[RushGirl2112]

had most of the same issues as stated above, but I think the error message is awesome.

was getting a v-bulletin error for like 15 minutes when trying to load the site. I am also using the current version of Firefox.

the weird bug that puts all those blue boxes with "?"s in them seems to be back.
it seems to be solved by simply re-posting, but for people that don't know this, I am seeing posts with hundreds of blue boxes.
looks like IB may have stopped working on these bugs, as StephIB seems to have abandoned us.
He StephIB? are you still out there??
this buggy-ass forum needs your help.

EDIT: the one bug results in this error message--

You have included a total of 30 images and/or videos in your message. The maximum number that you may include is 10. Please correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the BB code [img] tag, and HTML <img> tags. Videos are included with the BB code [video] tag. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.

as per another thread, Ark, i think our new contact on the techy techy is IBAngel. easy easy on the neggy neggy, yo lol.

IB is still working on debugging any bugs that need de-ing. i'll ask tonite by email whassup.

[Arkadin]

uhh not trying to be neggy.
I think the update was in July.
if I'm not mistaken it's mid October now.
I mean.....................honestly I don't think anyone wants to be badgering people about this stuff.
what else are people supposed to do to try and get this stuff taken care of?
I think the patience angle is kind of cooked at this point.
people are frustrated, and they have every right to be imo considering things were running very smoothly before D-Day.

[Onslaught X]

Well as Nate said, we have a new tech representing us now, so, there's going to be an adjustment period right now.

Yes, the update was in late July. Yes, it's October. But a lot of changes and fixes have been made since then. There are some issues, but for the most part, things have improved for me in terms of usability, although bugs and stuff occur from time to time (such as today). Obviously, they need to be reported, but getting angry isn't going to help matters. All we can do is report them, make sure the techs are aware, and in time patience is rewarded. But as we have a new tech, things will be a bit different. And the update is far from some evil disaster that has destroyed the forums, as VB4 obviously gets more support and more features. In the long run, this is beneficial. I know, sometimes its hard to move on from change. But sometimes it has to happen.

[IBAngel]

Hey everyone,
I have been following this thread closely. I have been working with tech on these issues. I really appreciate your patience. We are working hard to get these bugs fixed.

[IBAngel]

I was just informed by tech that the "broken image link" issue has been fixed. If you see any please let me know and I'll relay it to tech.
They are still working on the quoting bug. I'll let you know when I have updates.

Tech is working on this. Could you give more specifics with as much detail as possible? Thank you.

Tech has just informed me that this has been fixed. I tested it myself and I had no issues. If you still have any issues with quoting please let us know. Thank you!

Am I the only one that has a shrunken page since a few minutes?

I am unclear what you mean by this. Can you attach a screenshot?

[pentatonic]

It only happened for 10 minutes when I posted, as if the whole page was about half as usual, but then it was ok. If it happens again I will attach a screenshot.
