Im not sure if its just this crappy work computer or what but when i try to reply to a thread the only 'reply' button that works is the one on the original post. If i click any of the other ones nothing happens...

 

yes this is and has been happening to me also.

 

Quick reply has not worked for me in awhile

 

Uh Oh, National crisis! Call the whitehouse were going to need some backup

 

If that's the case, then we need backup on a lot more than the quick reply.

It's worked for me in a few threads, and hasn't in most others....interesting.

 

This is either a "problem" with the thirdgen template, or this is a "feature". I say this because when I use the vB stock template set (not available to others), the Quick Reply works just fine for any post. But when using the thirdgen template, Quick Reply seems to only work for the first post.

I did notice Dave worked on the template in question. So I'm not sure if this is a "problem" or "planned".

 

I hope it's a "problem" as I was beginning to like the quick reply feature.

 

I believe the problem is the sidebar. All quick replies minus the last one that are located above the bottom of the sidebar work for me.

Throw it out!

I hate scrolling all over :-)

Can you provide a screen capture? Because everything appears normal for me, the link just does not execute. I'm running the same setup you are.

See the attachment. My links are fine. You can see, through the in-line moderation, that the screen capture shows post 1 and 2.

 

Yes, mine show up too but like you say they just do not execute.


Its like this on all of my machines.

Winxp pro/ IE
winxp pro sp1/ IE
winxp pro sp2/ IE
Linux fedora core3/ FF 1.5.0.1

 

Yep its not working anymore more for me either but hey Im happy as a bug in a rug that I can finally read, search and post like a normal person.

 

Not anymore, but I found the problem. The html is href is broken. If you look closely there isn't a '&' seperator between 'noquote' and 'p='. I'm also pretty sure that you will want to change the 'noquote' to 'noquote=1', the 1 means true. If you look at the first quick reply href and then compare it to the next one. I attached a text file to help you see what I'm talking about so the vB doens't try to clean up the link.

The text file should explain it all, but if not, feel free to ask any questions.

 

I did compare the first one (which works) to the 2nd one (which doesn't work), and the HTML appears the same. I've attached a screen capture so that you can see the status bar for each, to see that they are exactly the same.

I'll look into this a little more a little later when I get more free time, unless Jason or Dave do so first.

 

Yeah I just checked out the templates and there's 4 places which the do=newreply exsist. They all have the

The thing that really gets me is the url for the first is the same as the rest, except for a different id number

 

Well, so far, it still appears OK on my end. My FireFox 1.5 and IE 6.0 show the HTML correctly, as the screen captures above also illustrate. Even looking at the source code, there is no missing code as your example and explanation indicate. I even checked the showthread template and compared between the stock one (which works fine) and this one, and the codes that you mentioned appears the same. I do not see anywhere, where "noquotep" is appearing. Perhaps this is on your end? You also stated how the replies were a problem due to the sidebar, which also was not something that none of my computers and browsers were able to replicate. You also mentioned all quick replies but the last one work, which seem to be the opposite from me and some others.

I'll continue to look into this, but right now I'm not sure. I think Dave has been busy, and he was the last one to edit the template, so only he knows what was changed before and after.

Thanks.

 

Ok, update FireFox. I was still using a pre-release of 1.5, but still didn't fix the problem, however, the code does appear to be the same now.

I'll keep looking...

 

In the FireFox console, I get this error message on load:
Error: vB_AJAX_QuickEdit_Init is not defined
Source File: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/prob...utton-not.html
Line: 719


When I looked it up, there appearently was a problem with quickedit and quick reply, so hopefully this helps in the quest for an answer.

 

The change for the ads was to put all post inside a table cell and place the advertisements in another table cell. There was no code changed inside this content area. I'm still puzzled. could be a span tag which helped make the AJAX part of it work, that got placed outside the table cells, but i doubt it.

 

Why not just disable the need to click to activate the box? We have it set up like that on ls1lt1.com and haven't had any issues. Is there a particular reason you guys want it enabled?

 

This is the answer Jason gave, when this question was asked before:

 

Linky no good!

Bin Laden, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

 

Not sure, because my FireFox did not/does not show such error messages in my console.

I believe I have "fixed" this, atleast Quick Reply is now working for me. There was a custom spacer template added, with the postbit_legacy template referring to it. It wasn't working correctly. I changed it a bit and now it seems to work. I'll send Dave a note about what I done, perhaps to allow a more complete fix, if needed.

 

We're running, IIRC, the same board software. If I get the chance I'll look into it or just call Chris up and bug his ***.
----------
And it does seem to currently work for me in IE and firefox, btw.

 

I'm not getting the error anymore, so what ever you did seemed to have fixed it. We are not using the click to reply at our forums either and haven't had any problems with it.

Thanks for fixing it!!
