I'm occasionally seeing a layout I've never seen before after "New Posts", weirdly, here and on the red board, that has no buttons or icons, but text links, saying "go to the first message" and "go to the last messages" and "there are 9 attachments."

If there were always icons that do that I sure never knew about them. I guess I've been clicking more than I needed to.

What's causing the graphics-less page?

Weird. Either this is due to a vBulletin update or there's some new option I don't know about. Even the formatting options on this new post screen are spelled out, like "Align Left" :dunno:

Everything looked normal to me.

Maybe MS has placed some code in vB to mess with your head...
 
You guys must be using Macs or some other batardized non MS browsers. I never have that problem, and my screen doesn't look anything like that. If you fail to be assimilated into the Billsphere, slowly all your internet privileges will be cancelled.

It does for me, too, sometimes. (I'm on the Windows PC now.)

I looked to see if there are equivalent icons to those and it doesn't appear so. The only one I forget is there is the "go to first new post" symbol. The other columns and data like the first "Question" column, on the weird screen aren't there.

Wait. Do those icons come from vBulletin(.com) and not poa?

Oh, that's b-e-a-u-tiful!!! +1 for Henning!
 
The templates are all set to point at pilotsofamerica.com for their images. That's probably causing the result you are seeing. I'm not going to try to do anything about it just yet. After next week, once the DNS changes have fully proliferated, and we switch this site back to running as .com, I'm thinking the problem will fix itself.

OK, so how did it manage to affect the red board? :rolleyes: :dunno:
 
Just to document wierdness I had a period yesterday where the # views column did not come over so the forum column data was in it's place and the forum column was blank.

After playing with it a bit it fixed itself before I took a snapshot.

Everything is normal for me now. Well at least everything about viewing the forum.

You're right. I guess it will take some more time for the others to catch up, although it seems like it's been a while since Microsoft invented the Internet.











...and Bill Gates invented the personal computer. :rolleyes:

No, it didn't fix itself... ;)

It was a template issue. We've got some heavy customizations here and vBulletin, when upgrading, doesn't blow away your template changes, but shows you what they are now using and encourages you to update yours appropriately.

The views column was missing because I guess I messed up that particular synchronization.

I get that occasionally when the screen doesn't load all the way.

(Sheesh! I'm only allowed 150 PMs.)

Did you know that there's an option for more PM space in exchange for supporting PoA? :D
