deanb Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 [media='']http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plKhvbljmwY[/media] It should be like above, using the media icon (the three polaroids next to the speech bubble n spoiler button), and putting the URL in the "media URL" box. Make sure it's the full length URL, not the short one, or a playlist URL(they might work though), or just the video ID etc. Make sure if you're just manually putting it in that you have just the text of the URL, and not a functioning URL(as in it's not underlined n blue). I'm unsure of this in other browsers but for Chrome ctrl+shift+v = paste without formatting. And should come out as so: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I used to have that problem and Dean's solution works. Chrome and some websites seem to pull the fully formatted URL but you need to use just the plain text or it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I notice when I'm writing a reply it says 'autosaved', sometimes/often I do something stupid like click a link and when I click back my text is gone, does the autosave actually save your text anywhere so you can recover it? If not what is it actually doing? Thankoos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted February 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Refresh the page, it's the way your browser is caching stuff, so if you hit back it's showing you the page as it was when you first opened it. Though the auto-save thing doesn't always re-appear mind, but it's a useful feature for when it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 thanks, now I just need to wait until I do something stupid to test it out. Shouldn't be long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was after the Status Updates thing on the right, seeing as that is everyone's favorite part of the forum. However, I seem to have lost it on the web too. How do I get it back? All the cool kids are there! I'll see if status updates are supported in Tapatalk. What is our forum software called? I don't even know how to start searching for it on google. All I get is status updates about tapatalk, like new versions and bug fixes and stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Status updates have disappeared for me too on the desktop site, so it's not just you/tapatalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 There's a teensy tiny little x on the top right of all those segments on the right of the forum (only shows up when you mouse over it), and if you accidentally click that it removes that section from your view of the forum, so you might have done that to status updates. As far as turning it back on... idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 @eleven: It's called IP.Board *points to footer* @tfg: mind grabbing a screenshot. Also try ctrl+F5 @tme: likely that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Status updates are gone for me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) No status updates. When I went to the page on my work computer I wasn't logged in and everything looked good. Logged in and it changed into this. EDIT: It changed just as I went back to the home page. There is no empty bar for the status updates, the forums just stretch all the way across.

Mal Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) No status updates or see a space to accommodate it here as well. Edit: GOT IT Edited January 28, 2013 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Your edit is because I missed the button that says "reimport" and clicked "disable" instead, so yeah temporarily all of the goodies will have disappeared for everyone. Try changing to the PXOD theme? edit: To reinforce: If between the time of like 4:50PM(GMT) and 5:10PM(aka 3 minutes before this post) you didn't see any status posts it's because there was no status posts. You won't have seen a lot of things for that period of time actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 So you mentioned that we're all called Array, but why is that exactly? Names show up fine on the forum view, but on New Content it always says "Array" instead of whoever the last poster was. Also, is there a way to turn off quote preview and let me actually see the tags? The preview makes it really difficult to only quote part of a post.

deanb Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 If I knew off the top of my head I'd easily have fixed it. As it stands I currently don't know but it's non-critical. As for the quotes: When quoting people it'll automatically preview the quote. Not sure how to describe it, just quote someone and see it in action. Basically it won't show tags anymore unless you toggle the light switch in the corner of the RTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Oh, okay, I finally found it. That icon did not look at all like a lightswitch to me, so I didn't have any idea what you were talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 The Array thing should be fixed. Basically as it's a custom skin I use there's a tool in the admin panel I can use that'll compare the custom skin to the new default skin, highlight the differences and let you merge the new changes into the custom skin. Seems it's had a fair change in this update. Thankfully the customising of the skin I've done is minimal so was safe enough to merge 99% of the conflicts.

Baconrath Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 When I click on the forum topics all I get is an orange thing that says 'unapproved.' The only way I was able to post this here was by clicking the recently posted link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah I see what you mean now too. (As I've mentioned many times I viewed the forum via "New Content" unlike most others going subforum-by-subforum). I'll look into it. edit: As a temporary measure you can just use the default IP.Board theme while I figure stuff out. Can't say I'm happy that fixing one thing immediately breaks something else which fixing that breaks something else and so on so forth for eternity.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 It seems that all of the custom emoticons are broken. They just give the broken image icon thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
