System Update in Progress

[Scott Greczkowski]

In a surprise move vBulletin late last night released the first vBulletin update to the 4.2 series in over a year.

I am now working on updating us to this latest version, and because of this the site will be unavailable for a few minutes.

Thank you for your understanding!

riffjims avatar is blank but,I'm guessing it's on his end.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

His has been blank since last week, in our security sweep they found a number of avatars that were "bad" and were removed automatically.

Don't know what made it bad, but they needed to do what they needed to do to make sure the site was secure.

That's not a fix. I can do that on my end under IE10 Tools/Compatibility Settings. I still have to use the paper clip under the advanced settings tab to upload images. Lame poor work around is all that update is. They have a really good product, it's a shame they do not maintain it like they should.

I've had some erratic activity using back arrow either completely leave site or act like it's ignoring the command. Most of the time though it works correctly

I have a weird glitch. In the FTA forums I notice when first loading a page, the blue bar "normal threads" is stuck in the right hand margin halfway down the "sticky threads" section. There will be a white field where the blue bar belongs. When I scroll down the page the "normal threads bar" pops into position and remains there. Happens every time I open a page. Running IE 10

Firefox 15.0.1 - not seeing the "GO" button by the Quick Navigation bar at the bottom of each page.
