Hello everyone, Please use this thread as a central repository for reporting the undoubtedly numerous questions, issues, concerns, problems, bugs, etc. that you will have after this significant upgrade to Invision's latest version. The version we had been using on our previous host, Dreamhost, was so old that all "Advanced Support" had been discontinued awhile back, and *all* support was going to be discontinued in another month or so - I didn't even realize this, which is yet another reason why I'm happy we went back to using Invision as our host, as well as the providers of our forum software (these are two entirely separate things, but if Invision hosts the website, it makes things easier on them when it comes to fixing bugs, etc.) I am going to point out this thread to their support staff, and they may be monitoring it, so please be as descriptive and informative as possible.. This version, 4.1.10, has *many* new features, and all the settings I had changed have been reset back to the default settings. I knew this would happen in advance, and had no problem with it because there weren't that many non-default settings we've been using. For example, I chose to display the maximum number of posts allowable per page (50), and notice that this has been reset to 25, which I assume is the default. Also, a "Carriage Return" will now automatically create a double-space, which is *great* in between paragraphs, but is a feature that must be used judiciously, i.e., don't use it at all unless you really *want* to double space. I am going to ask everyone to double space after a box of quoted text (which is the normal case when replying to someone's post), and also between paragraphs, while single spacing between lines within any given paragraph (like this three-line paragraph right here). So I can better keep track of things, please report things using as much detail (screenshots, description (e.g., is the problem repeatable every time), etc. using the "one issue per post" format - this will help me to mentally keep track of problems, and will minimize the chances of missing things. Again, unless it's merely a question, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to include as much detail as you possibly can (but also, don't assume I'm an idiot - you don't need to spend 20 minutes reporting an issue that is easily understood - I can *always* reply by asking for my detail and clarification). Thank you, and please feel free to ask as many questions as you like. I understand that people (myself included) are resistant to change, and this certainly qualifies as "being a change," but I'm certain that once things become familiar, the new features will be so beneficial that they'll outweigh any issues we now have, and are likely to continue having for days if not weeks. -
Sorry for shouting, but this is important. If you (like me) are having trouble posting, it's probably because of a recent Invision upgrade to the latest bug-free (irony of ironies) version. There was a sore-thumb level of low posting activity today, and I suspect others are having problems, too. Here's what you need to do: 1) Reset your browser (each browser has it's own method), but clear the cache however you can 2) Reboot your computer 3) Visit any topic, and click on CTRL-F5 (or for a Mac, CMD-R) 4) Click "Quote" to reply to a topic with quoted text. 5) If it doesn't look normal, click CTRL-F5 (or CMD-R) again, then click "Quote" again. --- After you've done this, please report all bugs in this thread (I'll move it to News and Media tomorrow, where it will remain). I'll summarize the bug reports, and let Invision know about them. Replying to quoted text has been a big problem (especially for me, since I do it 50 times a day) that has reportedly been fixed with this new release. Cheers, and welcome to Version 3.4.5 (I hope ... deep cleansing breath ... ohm ...), Rocks
