So did you ever get that problem solved?
-
I actually forgot; sorry ....
(At least I'm honest about it)
-
Always good for a chuckle.
-
Wait, what was the issue again?
-
Signatures.
-
Yeah; what was it about them?
-
Um, can't change them?
-
You can't change your signature?
WTF?
-
Ok, I looked into this issue ...
Apparently, there was an autoupdate feature in the last update I did to the site
(I have them off by default because I like to KNOW what's updating on here)
There is/was a bug in one of the updates (it was SUPPOSED to be BETA and not autoupdated)
and it removed a few "functions" of the board ... It also made it to where when the "fix" was autoupated,
it didn't "fix" everything it broke ... Thing is, most of the features, like SIGNATURES/EDITING SIGNATURES
is something we haven't had a whole lot of here lately, so, it's gone unnoticed for a bit ...
I'd also noticed a bit back that the backups (on the back end) were screwed too,
... however, I just do it via cPanel anyway, so, I didn't think anything of it ...
I'll get the latest upgrades for the board this coming week and update it to the latest version(s) ...
I'll get the list in the following post so that it's clear to all where we are and where we are going to go ...
Thanks for being patient with this ...

Detailed Version Check
This shows you the versions of your installation's files versus those of the latest version. If any of these files are out of date, you should download and upgrade to the latest version at www.simplemachines.org.
SMF File Your Version Current Version
SMF Package SMF 2.0.15 SMF 2.0.14
Sources 2.0.15 2.0.15
Default Templates 2.0.15 2.0.14
Language Files 2.0.15 2.0.14
Current Templates 2.0 2.0.15
Since then, this came about:
SMF 2.1 RC2 has been released on March 30, 2019, 12:27:45 PM
Simple Machines is pleased to announce SMF 2.1 RC2. This second release candidate brings a number of bugfixes and improvements over SMF 2.1 RC1.
It's actually up to version 2.1, however, one of the bugs is that it doesn't recognize above it's own
version (2.0.XX), so it's probably never upgraded past that with the errors intact ... (In other words,
it froze on, or kept the bugs, thinking it was the current version) ... It seems that they went straight
from the buggy beta (that forced itself on the install) to 2.1 ... I never got my "update available" email
to let me know to check out the newest version(s) because it was apparently "stuck" in the BETA ...
An upgrade to SMF 2.1 is up and coming; stay tuned ...
-
Yeah I noticed almost all of the features in profile settings are broken.
-
Also I wanted to ask is the software Mushiwantabe was hawking of any value?
Supposedly bypasses captcha's on cloudflare sites, but if the captcha is working I don't have a problem with them. The only reason I can see for this product is to allow spiders and robots to bypass them. I noticed you deleted him and he deserved it. Lol he tried to play it cool but just couldn't control himself.
-
All of those things get your IP banned within a short time, however, if you have a hacked proxy, then sure; it's worth it ...
If you're a filthy spammer ...
On this board, you have to manually enter the value of questions with a Captcha ...
Only ONE spammer caught this and input it into their bot; that's how the last batch of 10 (spam users) or so got through before I banned them ...
-
I was just wondering because all of the links in the 'modify profile' are broken. At least for me.
-
Yeah, I don't get that, actually ...
I'm waiting for the latest major update to not be beta ...
-
Tru;
Did this ever got solved on your end after the successful recent upgrade?
-
Yeah, I haven't found a good replacement for the one I have, well I found a few that I have forgotten. It seems like it can be changed now. But one thing I'm pretty sure of is the "Preview" feature is still broken.
-
Preview in posting?
I use it all the time ...
-
Might as well be clicking on the margin of the page, no response for me.
I still haven't tried to change my sig. Maybe I should do that, but the one I have is hard to beat. lol
-
Tru'Dat ....
Anyway, I use the "Preview" all the time ...
Are you using it from "Quick Repy", or in a full "Reply"?
(I use it mostly in a "Quick Reply"; although this time I used it in a full reply, and it seems to work)
-
Probably has something to do with my ad blockers and such then.
I should try it with the CCleaner browser. You use Chrome don't you?
-
I use Chrome, yes ...
And Opera at times as well ...
Mostly Chrome though ...
