If it helps, I have the "click any button to activate the Quick Reply Box" option turned off - Maybe that is causing it?

Here is more insight for the developers. The posted by 5, and message content 7 is hardcoded into the quoted bbcode.

For the replacements for quote, it is
<blockquote><span class="smallfont">Quote:</span><hr size="1" />Originally Posted by <b>5</b><br /><i>7</i><hr size="1" /></blockquote>

It should have some variables I believe.

I just noticed ALL BBCODES must be fixed, as its all fixed replacements.

[Chris M]

Here is the fix:

Goto your BBCode Manager, and edit the "Simple Email Linking" option...

Replace the entire "Replacement" field with:<a href="mailto:{param}">{param}</a>Now edit the "Advanced Email Linking" option...

Replace the entire "Replacement" field with:<a href="mailto:{option}">{param}</a>Now edit the "Simple Quoting" option...

Replace the entire "Replacement" field with:<blockquote><span class="smallfont">Quote:</span><hr size="1" />{param}<hr size="1" /></blockquote>Now edit the "Quote with Username" option...

Replace the entire "Replacement" field with:<blockquote><span class="smallfont">Quote:</span><hr size="1" />Originally Posted by <b>{option}</b><br /><i>{param}</i><hr size="1" /></blockquote>:)

(for some reason, the a href tag keeps doubling up when I post it - be careful to make sure it is edited out)

Perhaps something was fixed after I downloaded it;)

Satan

[TripleH]

[Chris M]

Then maybe they changed something for the worse then changed it back;)

I just downloaded the package today and am curious.....as I go through these threads about fixes and patches........

I thought this was beta tested before released to the public for further testing. My point is or my question is.....
why weren't these fixes which I am assuming were figured out in the private beta testing not added to the scripts before the public beta testing?

anyway....here is a bug related to this test.

I changed the stuff as instructed above but in the Simple Email Linking ...... if I chose yes in the "use {option}" I get this error when submitting the change: There seems to have been a slight problem with the The GlobalDungeon database.
Please try again by pressing the refresh (http://java script:window.location=window.location;) button in your browser.
An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff (dberror@globaldungeon.net), who you can also contact if the problem persists.
We apologise for any inconvenience.

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.0 Beta 3:
Invalid SQL:

bbcodereplacement = '<a href=""\"mailto:\\7\">\\7</a>' (\7&quot;>\7</a>'),
bbcodeexample = 'johndoe@example.com',
bbcodeexplanation = 'The [email] tag allows you to include email addresses without an option.',
twoparams = '1'
WHERE bbcodeid = 1

mysql error: Duplicate entry 'email-1' for key 2

I get a similar error if I do the same thing in the Simple Quoting ....both are default selected as "no"

now....both the Advanced Email Linking and the Quote with Username are default selected as "yes" but if you change them to "no" a similar error as above comes up.

anything that brings a database error has got to be a bug. what do you think?

[Chris M]

I was unable to replicate these errors:(

Because the private beta testers only upgraded their boards. Although I don't know if they also installed fresh copies on their PCs.

[Flack Jacket]

my apologies about the beta testing comments....I didn't pay attention to the dates of the postes fixes and patches

however....I did a clean/fresh install last night after downloading the package and then I read this thread and applied the suggestions above to fix the problems this thread was started about. Then I tried the things I mentioned above and received those errors.

[Lazersam]

Thanks that fixed it for me :D

[RobFerrari]

I'm still getting this bug, even after upgrade to Beta 4. Will it only work on new threads since my upgrade? I just added a message to an existing thread to test.

[Mike Sullivan]

You need to go into your control panel and manually apply the changes mentioned in hellsatan's post (post 6).

[Kazaf009]

I do not have any of those bbcode in my bbcode manager.
There is only Marquee and Glow but the glow doesnt even work.

[Icheb]

Glow isn't a standard vB code, it's a custom tag.

[Kazaf009]

I know. but the quick quote and other stuff that he posts to edit are not in there either.

[Steve Machol]

This thread concerns patches to an beta older version of vB which is no longer supported. Please feel free to post in the Troubleshooting forum for help. You'll need to include more details though.
