Administrative Note

Post by alietr »

I updated the board software yesterday, and it appears that several functions, including the spoiler tags and private messages (that I have found so far) are not functioning properly. I'll see what we can do about resolving the issues.



This shouldn't show up.

The same php code is used to display the results so unless the recording broke, new polls won't be affected.

Does this affect just the board? I haven't been able to get J! Archive to load for a few hours.

Even some mod functions like acknowledging a reported post doesn't seem to be working. I can see the notification for that report, but then when I click on it it doesn't show it to me.

Running in Chrome 76.0.3809.132 64-bit:

The first post in a thread displays as normal. All subsequent posts display with the post window fully widescreen. See this image to see what I'm talking about.

Anyone else having this issue?

I have the wide posts problem, but it appears not to be as simple a dividing line as first/subsequent. Some threads have no wide posts. Other threads have several wide posts at the top. (I thought it might be a matter of the first post to quote, but no, it's not. It's not a before/after upgrade date, either.)

If we can figure out the pattern we might be able to fix the bug.

It's related to the spoiler tag bug. The last post to be properly formatted has a spoiler tag, remove it, page gets formatted properly again...or until the next spoiler tag

A similar problem was reported in a post to the support forum for the Simple Spoiler BBCode extension, also in relation to an update to the phpBB software. A newer version of the extension was then released which seems to fix the issue.

We seem to have resolved our issues. Please note that the icon in between image= and strike is the spoiler tag (until we figure out how to get it to say 'spoiler').

Andy and Robert, thanks for the assistance!
