I've passed it on gents.

I then went to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced>Reset to reset my browser to default settings. I was a bit worried that I'd lose everything, but it was relatively painless, just make sure you have all your user names and passwords handy as they'll be lost. Since resetting I've had no trouble viewing any pictures :2tsup:.
Despite temptation, I'm not going to bucket IE except to say that wouldn't it make more sense if users with IE problems use another browser? Especially when things like this occur:
Microsoft urges computer users to install security tool
Both the following are free, are without the 'compatibility' mode, are faster (to load forum) and more secure:
Mozilla Firefox Web Browser
Google Chrome
Just a thought. :think:
Admin has been unable to offer any solutions either (Firefox and Chrome users do not seem to suffer the same issues).
I am running IE 9.0.8112.16421, and I do not have this issue.Quote:

Anyone have any clues as to which setting(s) might need changing for the slideshow viewer to work properly?
Running IE8.0.6001 under XP SP3.
This is exactly what was happening to me, I was also having other issues with the previous version of VBulletin. I found that the resetting to default cured all the issues I was having. I'm thinking that maybe something got corrupted or that maybe the initial install was not done properly, whatever the reason for the problems the reset fixed the issues. I don't see why resetting the browser to default would cause things to stop working, but anything is possible I suppose.Quote:

It does exactly the same in 'Compatibility View'.
FWIW, I'm using OSX 10.8.1, using Safari & Chrome and I think the forum is performing (loading etc) better than before the update.

Firefox, Windows XP.
No problems with slide shows or anything else, and starting to really enjoy some of the extra functionality.
Sometimes if I cancel the refresh and restart it again manually it's quite quick. Maybe these are the times when the server is taking a breath or summint.
All seems to be working mostly well for me except I'm still occassional experiencing website freeze while posting a "quick reply" even in "advanced mode"...
PLUS could I please ask for a tutorial on the easy & correct way to post attachments, thank you [I've managed to do it but it was a struggle]...
cheers, crowie
I just wanted to say I was able to do an "Insert Image" just now .. so extra "Well done"s to the admins.
... they're probably having a Bex and a lie down right about now ...

Re attachments ... for an unofficial answer ...
First you need to change to "Go Advanced" ...
I would go down the page to "Manage Attachments" ... but I see now that there is an Attachments icon right above the Message window.
OK - it is exactly the same thing. Cool. Save me scrolling down.
Bring up the Attachments 'Popup', and click on "Add Files" and then "Select Files" when the little window appears.
You can select multiple files in the same directory, unlike previously.
And if you want to add files from different directories, keep choosing "Select Files" until you are done.
Finally choose "Upload Files".
In that small window you can also switch back and forth from 'files from your Computer' to 'file from a web address (URL)'.
There is also the option of "Basic Uploader", but I'm not sure why you'd use it - and when you choose it you are then stuck on that option until you quit out and re-select "Manage Attachments" again.
If your file is already in your 'stash' on screen, then you can just drag it out again for the current message.
- - -
I mentioned before (above) about getting a particular order to the files you are attaching ... cos it doesn't work that way first off.
The first time I went through deleting ten files from the bottom box one at a time ... but I noticed today that when they've been uploaded and were all highlighted blue then deleting one file got rid of all of them.
If you then drag the files you want from 'the stash' to the lower box - in the order you want - they will stay that way.
Hope this helps,
Paul
Very well explained Paul:2tsup::2tsup:
Heh heh heh ... ahem ... I forgot one thing (at least) ...
:B
As I said ... "Insert Images" wasn't working for me before ...
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
- - -
You don't have to change to Advanced to
- insert images from your computer
- insert image from a URL
- insert video from a URL
But the images won't come up in a given order (I think).
You would have to "Go Advanced" and do the above to re-sort them if that's what you wanted.
Cheers,
Paul
Thank you Paul for your assistance, I'll pass on the info to a mate plus give it a go myself. Again THANK YOU. Cheers, crowieQuote:

heya guys... have an issue with IE 9 ...
every time I'm pressing either one of the smilies icons or actuall post quick reply button .. page crashes..
recovery does save some of the text but not all...
suggestions?? it started happening since upgrade
On my brand new Samsung Galaxy, using FireFox, the forum appears in VBulletin blue livery, and I have to scroll down, down, down, down to get a login option. Then, it hangs on the "redirecting you"
So, hop onto laptop (Ubuntu & Firefox) to see if any progress has been made. The previous version of the forum used to remember me, but since the change, I always have to type usename and password, even though I click the "Save" option every single time. Anyway, blue scheme again, but changes when I log in.
On my Android Tablet (Aldi) I use the Android inbuilt browser and find it far superior to Firefox, even though I use FF on my PC and notebook.
Using FF on the tablet I found the same appearance problem with forum that you did, but having only just started using a tablet I don't what is normal.
I don't experience your login problem though in either browser.
Fred, I've never been anywhere near your devices.Quote:

Not only annoying but it's a form of "High tech wanking".Quote:

When viewing a thread down the main page [eg the Routing forum] - when I hit the back button the page goes back to the top [eg Announcements] - pauses for approx 2 seconds then repaginates back to where the Routing forum is visible.
Apart from this I like the new and my thanks and congrats to all who were involved.

I am not by any means an expert with this computer but I manage to get around it with only minimal help from my Guru daughter. I made a comment a while back expressing just how good the former system/layout was and how much easier it was to get around comparing it to 2 or 3 other forums I have looked at.
The new system does what the old one did and right from the word go it was easy to view or contribute both text and pics with no real problem. At the moment the (what was) ISpy has no header,its just a jumble of notebook lines strung together and then below it is the "ISpy" latest entries. They are harder to go through because it is only text with the heading for the thread in bold type. I have a couple of times glimpsed a proper layout with light and dark for the different threads, but only a glimpse as it went back to the text. At the moment we are on satellite for our broad band, It is IP Star and is as slow as dial up was when we first went onto the internet. (We are waiting for NBN and satellite service)
EDIT One thing that the new system doesn't do at the moment is update itself automatically. I have to refresh the page to read what the latest threads are. Will it become automatic as it was before?
Anyway, I can access the forum and that to me is the main point! OK I liked it better the way it was, but one has to jive with the times so I will get used to the system in time. As I keep saying the spirit that goes with the names that are written on the threads is such a wonderful thing. When somebody has a problem with what ever, good advice is always given to help the person out and that even goes as far as some Forumites actually going to physically help others who are in need. Is it an Ausy spirit? Or is it just a human trait that has manifested here? What ever it is, its great to be a part of this Forum, and thanks again to Niel and all those who are stake holders and advertisers that keep it going.
My life would not be the same with out the Forum :wave::wave::wave: :aussie5:
Yep, that one has always been there, that's the advanced reply, but there used to be a quick reply button which was with the quote and multi quote on the right which showed with every post.Quote:
