View Full Version : New VB3.5 CCDV.com Information and problems
Well I think we are all set now. The attachments all made the trip over and so have all of your posts. There are still some small issues but I'll be working on them throughout the weekend. Let me know what you find not working or missing.
Your current user name and password should still work.
Here's what I have on my to do list
fix the smilie list so it actually shows the smilies
fix the old gascap threads. the last 6 months worth of gascap threads should be fine but the older ones will have lost files. I'll either convert them tot he new format and reupload them or we'll just prune the old issues.
have to work on the homepage so it includes the calendar and featured news articles for registered members like the old homepage did
lose the initial splash screen so www.ccdv.com just points to the homepage. this will really help with our search engine ranking and indexing.please list anything else that needs to be done. thanks
testing uploads
probably about time I made a nice store logo
need to re-update the club history.
Have to add stick all the CCDV club info and GasCap instructions back inot the FAQ
just fixed a couple bad links on the homepage.
need to make a hack for the homepage like we had on the old homepage. the gascap link used to always point right to the current gascap. now it just points to the gascap forum.
I'm rebuilding the attachment thumbnails right now. I'm going to have to delete all of the current signatures.
looks like we have an avatar issue
How do we make enlarged fonts & colors?
just like before by using the vbcodes. you might want to go into your usercp and turn on the advanced editor. go to edit options and scroll to the last option.
for some reason lots of things are missign all the sudden. avatars are gone and so are the links under your post like email & profile
How you you edit threads?
same as before, click the edit link under the post

Tech section only lists C1 C2 C3, the rest are cut off.
Avatars seemed to work for a little while, I guess you're still working on it.
Can't see attachments in preview mode, is that normal?
Saved PM's only list subjects, no bodies visible.
Will we be able to edit our screen colors in the future?
Moderator site did let me in but nothing to do.
I'm glad to see we finally have a staff forum.
I'll keep listing things as I find them.

1) post count says: n/a
It WAS showing when the switch was first made.
2) My avatar shows in Members List but not when I post.
3) Can not EDIT a post. There is no Edit button
how can we get to our old signatures?
I just went and saved a new signature. I'm posting a message and made sure the show signature box is checked. hopefully it shows up
I rebuilt the template cache and now avatars, profile link, reputation, and online indicator are back.
the edit, quote, and quick reply links are all showing. Glenn, you don't see the edit button on the bottom right of each post?
fixed the incomplete forum decription for tech talk.
stated working on private message issue. they are in the DB. not sure why they aren't listing

Copy this image to your hard disk (remember where it is) Then use it when changing your Avatar. You will click browse when changing your avatar, that's when you look for this file...... ccdvlogo.gif

Jeff I cannot find a way to have the calendar NOT display birthdays. When you go into the monthly mode the month is taken up by birthday announcements which is very confusing and makes it difficult to find events. Is there an option I just can't find to turn off the Birthdays?

if you don't see the formating buttons around the message box, go into your profile and turn them on. go here
http://www.ccdv.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions
scroll to the bottom to the "Message Editor Interface" setting and choose the "advanced editor" or standard editor". after that you'll have clickable buttons that insert the VBCodes
Bill Burkholder, theres a link to the homepage on the top left of everypage. here it is.
http://www.ccdv.com/forums/homepage.php
92RAGTOP, I'll add a way to remove the birthdays. let me look into it.

I have a problem with my signature. I entered 2 images in the sig. and when I initially check my posts both images are there. Then at some point one of the images get deleted from view. When I check my signature editor all the text is there but one image will not show up on the preview. In order to get both images to appear again I have to re-enter the images. This has hapened 3 times.
What am I doing wrong?

I still can't get the home page.... I can only get in on the forum page and it's blue!!! with VBulletin on the top and nothing about CCDV, no car and not the red that I see on the sign in page. Once I do log out and go back in I get the red screen and then I log on and it sends me back into the blue page???????? Weird.......
I am having the same problem as Doug..
While trying to edit my signature, I actually see the pic, in BOTH areas..
Sig PREVIEW & below it where I need to type in the new pic address...

Hi Jeff
The options/features I used when creating events in the calendar such as hyperlink, font size color etc... are gone. Can we get that back?
Also the old website home page had a summary of events displayed at the top left can we get that back?
I understand there are many more issues that you are working through overall the new site is great. Fantastic job Thanks.

Your pictures are a little bit smaller than the ones I tried to enter. They made the page a little wider. May be that's the problem . I'll make my images smaller tonight and try again.

Bill, it sounds like you're stuck in a loop to the Moderators Control Panel (that's blue for me too). Check the url again or logon with another system. You're probably having an issue as Administrator that nobody else sees.

Posting this for El.
Please post this for me..
I cannot make a post from my home, only at the shop..
I AM logged IN.. It says welcome YO-EL..
When I make a post I get a message that says:
"You have NOT entered enough characters"
Must be 10 or more"..
BUT, I am writing full & complete sentances with 50-100 characters..
I also CANNOT send Private Messages..
It say "must complete subject & message fields", but they ARE filled in!
WTF! Website help needed at home computer location...
Ellis
OK.. Posting from WORK..
At HOME, CANNOT:
Make a post:
Get error message that says:
"your post needs to be at leats 10 characters"
Cannot send a private message:
Get error that says:
"Subject & message fields must be filled out"
STILL cannot edit signature:
ACTUAL PICTURE is showing the the EDIT area as well as preview area...
colors seem to work OK from here at work
so do font sizes
but only here at work..
site is NOT working for me at my house.. (comcast internet)

Sounds like the problem is obviously at your home computer, not this site....
Must be something with settings on your IE at home. How about checking and comparing your work PC to your home PC.
Up top there in IE, click Tools, then Internet Options.
Go through all that crap at work, then compare to what you have at home.
Especially the last tab to the right Advanced
Jeff I'm sorry to bother you again but can you tell me if there is a way to put a post on the home page as before? I would like to put the cruise night info that's in the upcoming activities forum on the home page.
you are not bothering me at all. not yet. I need to make that yet.
it's 2nd on my list right after fixing the private messages
I have to log in everytime I use the site. Anyone else have this problem? I get a restricted site on my browser when I get to the link to get here, but this site is not restricted.
are you still having this problem? if so clear your cookies, close your browser, and then come back and login.
check your profiel and make sure you have it set to use cookies and auto login.
don't have any reason for CCDV do be restricted but if you have us set that way, it wont' save the cookie. try making us a trusted site.

Also the old website home page had a summary of events displayed at the top left can we get that back? I will set that up. The new homepage needs alot yet. I will add the calendar w/ the month events and the featured news items.

this one makes no sense at all. is he using AOL at home and not at work? if so it's an AOL issue and I dont' know much about them.
try this
after you log onto aol, minimize it. then open internet explorer and use that to browse CCDV.com

POSTING FROM WORK NOW..
USING IE AT HOME NOT AOL....
No settings have been changed at home or work since this new site came up..
I continue to get these error messages at HOME only..
Since nothing has been changed & the old version worked fine, something MUST be amiss on this new version's end..
I can't be the only one..

WebGuy, Joe led the way for me. I had to cut and paste the new address into my favorites. It now reconizes me all the time. Mike sounds like you're having the same problem I did. Once you get to this site add it to your favorites. Browser will ask if you want to overwrite previous address. Click yes and you should be good to go after you log in. Don't forget to click the remember me box.:D
test post from home.. quick reply
Hummm OK,, I made this from HOME but used the quick reply box... Cannot use the lower left post a reply,, will now try to reply w/ quote on lower right
CAN ONLY USE QUICK REPLY BOX TO POST..
(hey at least its something)
"post a reply" on the lower left STILL gives me the message:
"post too short, must contain at least 10 characters"...
Any way to fix this??
C5pilot
03-30-06, 10:38 PM
El, try going into the UserCP, Edit Options, go to Misc Options all the way at the bottom, and choose a different Message Editor Interface.
If that doesn't work, try using the "Quote" button on the bottom right and see if you can enter a post that way.
Those have all been done..
Post a reply on lower left & reply w/ quote on lower right will not work & continue to give me the too few character error message..from my HOME computer..
On a side note, WHY is that error message>("message too short. Must contain at least 10 characters...) even programmed into the site?
There's plenty of times we like to reply with just:
COOL
Sweet
;tu
All less than 10 characters..
Maybe that has to be deleted from the program, then I might be able to reply from home??
From here, I can't post just an avatar, or a short word under 10 characters.
I just tried to reply with GREAT.. Got the error message

A lot of sites have the minimum character post in effect. It's supposed to help cut down on the meaningless posts used by people trying to boost their count scores. However, I don't think it's been a problem here. I'd limit it to 2 characters just to prevent the empty posts, IMO.
El, as for your problem posting from home, I'd think you could temporarily solve it by downloading another browser like Firefox. You should always have more than one browser anyway.

I sent all the info and attached flyer from John T. to Jeff on Sat. morning. Bill
I am getting TIRED of ONLY being able to post in the "Quick Reply" area & getting this stinkin message:
The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:
"The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters."
Is ANYONE addressing this problem?
I STILL cannot make a NEW thread, send an email or PM.
ONLY the Quick Reply is working
After you reply to a post and hit the go button on the bottom of the page it takes you back to control panel every time, instead of the section where you posted. :(

what does THIS mean:
http://www.ccdv.com/forums/images/buttons/collapse_thead.gif
It's appears to be the symbol you click to collapse a list of posts under a common thread (could also be an "up arrow"). A "down arrow" or "+" would expand the view of posts under a common thread. Why do you ask?
How "new" is your computer? Did you buy it today?
El, you can have a new computer right out of the box, fresh install of WindowsXP, with everything working fine. As soon as you visit the same site or load the same software that screwed up your old system, it's corrupted. If this is a new system and you've already got problems viewing our site, it's something you're doing. Think about what you've loaded and where you've visited. And don't forget to download all the Windows updates from M$.
Still the same problem, when you post it returns me to "the control panel" and not the area where I just posted the reply.

Jeff I am still not able to post on the home page. It would really be very helpful to be able to do this. Posting on the home page was a big part of advertizing and promoting up coming events. Members would be able to open the home page and everything was right there. But now I cannot post on the home page. Can you please correct this. Thanks Don Terranova
