What happened to the Quick Links menu?

[Hussar]

No, and not to belittle your issue, but I'm quite sure it's relative to the other issues......

But, lets see....

Straight link:

EN World - D&D / Dungeons & Dragons / RPGs

BB Code:
Visit ENWorld

I hit submit.
---------------------

Ok, my edit box looks normal. No garbage, just the same stuff I typed in.
So I can't say for sure that this issue IS related to the various buttons not working.

Well, if I open a Quick Reply in a new window, I actually quote the post that I quick replied from. So, I can reply, but, only if I quote the post. Multiquote does not work for me, nor does Quick Reply. Didn't try forking.

Firefox 3.0.1 here. Also getting the trackback line as well.

I have this problem with both Explorer and Firefox, but not with Opera. I have forgotten my summer-camp account name, so I cannot try if CM works for me.

Russ, maybe this will help in the troubleshooting, or maybe not...

Yesterday I was on the site off and on from 12:00 PM Central time until about 12:00 AM this morning working on review updates. The site was extremely slow all during that time and something changed sometime between 6:00 - 8:00 PM as these changes occurred:

1) RSS icons appeared
2) Quick Links drop down arrow disappeared
3) Review Tools drop down arrow disappeared
4) Clicking on Quick Links changes the menu bar from
My Account + Register + Blogs + FAQ + Calendar + New Posts + Search + Quick Links + Log Out
TO
My Account + Register + Blogs + FAQ + Calendar + Search + New Posts + Mark Forums Read + Open Contacts Popup + Log Out
5) Clicking on Review Tools sends you into an apparent infinite loop of nothingness (stopped after 5 minutes of no response, this while refreshes or page loads were running 2-3 minutes each)
6) Smiles will not post into message when clicked on.
7) Formatting tools do not work. (attempted to italicize this line)

For this thread and this post tried the following:
Quick Reply - does absolutely nothing, no load percentage, no screen refresh, just says "Done" right after click
Quote - Appears to works normally
New Reply - appears to work normally

IF all these things are still working for you then it may be a permissions thing rather than a JAVA thing... if JAVA was broke it should be broke for all. UNLESS JAVA has permissions as well (not a programmer, just a former system administrator in a previous lifetime)

ALSO all of these were originally working AFTER you gave me staff / mod upgrade on Monday, they all broke late Yesterday evening. They were working yesterday at noon when I first got on the site.

I am available throughout the day to try various things if you need a troubleshooter monkey. Available platforms are all Windows XP SP3, but I do have FF3.0.1, IE7, and Safari (something) available. I primarily use FF3 (this message).

I am using IE 7 and the drop down menu of forums normally at the lower right of every page seems to have disappeared. There hasn't been one on CM for months.

*edit* and as of this post it has returned to EN World but is still missing from CM.

It would appear that this feature ("jump forum") is now tied to Community Supporter accounts?

I'm at my home PC now. Firefox3 on Windows XP.

Smilies work fine,

as underlining, italized, and bold

But I cann ot change the editor mode and be struck in 'advanced'

And now, evrything is broken again what did you do between this post and the editing?

 

[Halford]

Just though I would chime in here to. For the past couple of days EnWorld has been mauling every post I have tried to make.Despite putting in the appropriate spaceing, etc., between paragraphs to break up text I am getting huge blocks of text. It seems like this has been a common issue.Additionally the quick reply function has not been working for weeks (for me at least) and now none of the advanced menu functions are working, so I cannot color text, add attatchments, etc., though I can add the code where I happen to know it - which isn't often.Sorry to complain, but it is making pbping extremely difficult.

 

[Graf]

Halford's right.I can had code html, but if I don't everything comes out garbage. None of the editing controls seem to work, on any browser. It's obvious there's been some sort of massive buggy change to the enworld code. Its wide spread; it affects many browsers. Maybe its hacking, maybe its server configuration. But we're not imagining things.

Now I'm getting the problem too, and shift-reloading doesn't help this time. I'll try attaching an image of how the interface looks when I try quoting a post.

No, wait, I can't. There's no "manage attachments" button available.

I have also noticed that the links in the forums go to HTML pages and not PHP pages - e.g. http://www.enworld.org/forum/genera...other-settings-should-get-fr-treatment-4.html instead of http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=239888 (the links are different, as you can see if you mouseover on them). The latter link gets redirected to the former. I don't know if this is related to the problem.

Also, if you preview your post, make changes, and then preview it again, it can apparently cause trouble if you include special characters. When I did my first preview, it changed the quote signs above into HTML code ("). On the second preview, it changed the & in the code into &, which messed it up. Here's hoping posting will work...
