Reason for edit: Updated July 17 10AM

[iDecay]

Quick edit is not working. It takes me to the top of the page and does nothing..

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Log in and log out.

When I try and log in, I have to log in twice: once at the main page http://www.createblog.com/ and then again at the forums http://www.createblog.com/forums/

It's the same when I log out, I have to log out of both.

Does that make sense?

[*Azarel*]

Mentors still do not appear on the member list.

When "my assistant" is clicked (at least in Firefox), a new window pops containing the assistant as well as a subwindow in the original window (as was in cB3).

[*[2]Nekked*]

in ie6- the search form on the header is aligned to the top instead of the middle and it looks funny.

wordpress submissions dont take you to the normal "your submission is pending" screen. after you submit, it takes you to a blank page.

[Simba]

Yeah, I'm having logging-in problems too. I had to sign in four times before I was finally able to post here.

[clarity]

When you receive winks, and try to view them you get a 404 not found error.

[jilianceleste]

Every time I click "my account" it logs me out.

[*davinci*]

I can't log in under 'My Account'. Error says it's a bad username/password combo. There aren't restrictions on characters used in the password like there are in the username, are there?

ETA: Maybe there were. I had my password reset and it's working now.

topsites??

commenting on tutorials is not working.
also when logging in from some areas it brings up a download window for index.php ?!?

[*davinci*]

Topsites were removed. Sorry. Unless micron changes his mind, it's not coming back.

I don't think everything is done yet so Tutorials should be fixed. Those "areas" aren't done yet and will be completed soon.

[Minstrel]

When I try to see my profile by clicking the upper left hand corner next to My Account, It takes me to see Mina's profile, not mina.harkers prifile ..

[freeflow]

^ Did you set up the other profile? My account -> Profile setup (or something like that)

[*insurmountable*]

^Something similar. I just had my name changed earlier today and now on my other friends lists if you click on my picture on their profile it sends you to my old username which was intercourse. so its invalid.

[*insurmountable*]

^Continuing, sorry.

Example:
http://freeflow.createblog.com/

click on my picture on Toya's profile.

[*Azarel*]

Actually, that's not a cB4 bug; that's someone not knowing how to use the calendar correctly (and every Friday has been "Sammi's Birthday" since cB2, at least). I searched for a way to remove it while I was on staff, but I think it may just be something that admins can remove or something.

[*[2]Nekked*]

images in resource submissions run off the columns if they're bigger than 420px wide.

example
http://www.createblog.com/tutorials/tutorial.php?id=666

[*IVIike*]

i dn if this is a bug or a change but do somments on layouts not count twards your post count? becuase it isn't counting for me

[freeflow]

I could be wrong, but if commenting peoples profiles doesn't boost your post count I wouldn't think commenting on layouts, graphics or tutorials would because they are not part of the forum?

But then again parts of CB4 are not done, so I wouldn't know for sure.


You might not be able to fix this, but oddly in Safari I can't change the complete best friends thing. Just mentioning it incase someone else can't either. But in Firefox it perfect. Odd .

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

on the blog part of the site, i'll try to add someone as a friend and it says i'm not logged in, but i can view my option settings...

nevermind, it's just on rebecca's page

[*IVIike*]

well i was just wondering because before they did and it motivates people to comment the layouts and stuff so i wish it did.

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

i cant view my winks page on my subdomain. everytime i go to the my account page and it says i have a new wink, i click and it takes me to the internet explorer default page saying there is no such page.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ I get the same error, when trying to click on it under "My Account".
But it works if you go to your profile, and then click on the winks.

[*kryogenix*]

There's a way to get negative PMs, but I believe the problem existed prior to CB4.

[micron]

Quick edit is not working. It takes me to the top of the page and does nothing..

what browser and version number are you using?

Log in and log out.

When I try and log in, I have to log in twice: once at the main page http://www.createblog.com/ and then again at the forums http://www.createblog.com/forums/

It's the same when I log out, I have to log out of both.

Does that make sense?

fixed! you might need to flush your cookies once.

Mentors still do not appear on the member list.

When "my assistant" is clicked (at least in Firefox), a new window pops containing the assistant as well as a subwindow in the original window (as was in cB3).

members will be added to the members group once i fix acp's member group. seems like the bug persists with the forum upgrade.

When I try to see my profile by clicking the upper left hand corner next to My Account, It takes me to see Mina's profile, not mina.harkers prifile ..

its because periods are invalid characters. youll need to change your username, but dont ask an admin to do it, read below.

^Continuing, sorry.

Example:
http://freeflow.createblog.com/

click on my picture on Toya's profile.

its because you asked an admin to do it. admins SHOULD NOT change usernames using the forums admincp. it will break things on cb4. ill release a tool where people can change their usernames every six months. it will fix your issue as well.

i dn if this is a bug or a change but do somments on layouts not count twards your post count? becuase it isn't counting for me

comments on cb4 pages at this time arnt counted towards your post count. maybe we should, im open to the idea. but ill think over this after all the bugs are squashed.

[Jeng]

I don't know if this was posted before, but... when I go to add someone as a friend on their profile, and I am logged in, it says I'm not, and won't let me add them at all, and I try logging in again, and still no work.

[micron]

^ try deleting your cookies. on internet explorer, thats tools -> internet options -> delete temporary internet files

[Simba]

^ try deleting your cookies. on internet explorer, thats tools -> internet options -> delete temporary internet files

I've tried that already, and I'm still having log-in problems.

A lot of the time I fill out my log-in information, and it gives me a message saying that I successfully logged in, but when I return to the forums, it turns out I'm not.

[anime-essence]

Layout (Designer) Hotlinking.

It used to be where you enter your member number after this link http://www.createblog.com/layouts/index.php?author_id=XXXXXX and it would bring up your whole list of designs. Now, the link was replaced by hotlinking your subdomain with /layouts/ after it. (Ex. http://anime-essence.createblog.com/layouts/) This is helpful but It would be better if the old way of hotlinking was still available. Maybe keeping both? Adding the old way of hotlinking back?

[*MyMichelle*]

Not really a but, but---

Are we supposed to be informed when we have pending friend requests?

[micron]

Layout (Designer) Hotlinking.

...

This is helpful but It would be better if the old way of hotlinking was still available. Maybe keeping both? Adding the old way of hotlinking back?

hi, out of curiousity, is there a reason for this? i would think members would prefer hotlinking to their layouts using their subdomains.

Not really a but, but---

Are we supposed to be informed when we have pending friend requests?

yes, go to My account and under tasks it will say so. in the future, ill add a notifier on the top right links whenever theres new tasks so that members will remember to check their my account.

[micron]

----

i rememeber someone mentioning this somewhere and i didnt give it proper thought. the forum editor (pm messenge editor) didnt display the css correctly, englarging the box enormously. its been fixed now.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Erm, whenever I try to change my "Best friends" on my profile, I can drag them on the first page. But when I go to the 2nd or 3rd page it won't drag.

[micron]

hmm what version of IE do you have?

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Oh, I'm on Firefox (newest version, I guess?)

[Minstrel]

^ Did you set up the other profile? My account -> Profile setup (or something like that)

i went to account -> edit profile and it still takes me to mina's account.

[micron]

Oh, I'm on Firefox (newest version, I guess?)

ok i see it now, its because firefox doesnt apply the dragdrop function for the new ajax'd content. added to bugs list.

i went to account -> edit profile and it still takes me to mina's account.

hi, i answered this, its because periods arent supported by subdomians. in the near future i will be releasing a tool for you to change your username so that it will work.

[micron]

----

i updated the css to support ie 5.01/5.5/6.0 but its more of a hack than a real fix...

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Ah what did you do

Everything was aligned fine for me in the latest version of firefox. Now my profile looks all messed up.

[micron]

^ thanks. ill take a closer look tomorrow.

[stormbringer]

oh...right

[micron]

ok theres definitely a problem with cookies (logging in / out / in /out /in again stuff). ill take a closer look at it tomorrow.

[*[2]Nekked*]

----

i updated the css to support ie 5.01/5.5/6.0 but its more of a hack than a real fix...

yeah its the best we could come up with for now. another solution would be to either change or possibly get rid of the width on #container.

[*[2]Nekked*]

dymamic dropdown navigation falls under form fields. (i.e. on http://www.createblog.com/graphics/ if you hover on "Tutorials" in the top nav, you'll see what i mean.)

This is a bug in ie6-

[tiredone617]

i've been trying to view these pages in firefox and safari on my mac, and they are just plain text... kind of like a site map. then i have to scroll all the way down to get to the page i'm trying to view. i thought it was problem for everyone, but when i used a windows computer and looked through IE i found out that the site is rather complete and not just a "site map"

though it seems no one else is having this same problem?

[anime-essence]

hi, out of curiousity, is there a reason for this? i would think members would prefer hotlinking to their layouts using their subdomains.

On no, believe me it's very convenient. I just believe it's just more efficient to keep the old way of hotlinking available especially if members use it (like myself and other designers have). I see this problem has been fixed. Thank you Junsun, once again.

[synthase]

for some reason, CB4 is slower for me
Is this normal?

[*Azarel*]

Auto-merging no longer works for double (or more) posts made by the same user in topics over the span of ten minutes.

Additionally, the problem with my PM box (and I'm sure some others' as well) still persists with the forum upgrade.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Uhm.. There is no reply button when reading a PM.
I tried to reply to a message I got, aaand I cant fiind it.
Where oh where has my reply button gone? Oh where oh where can it beeeee?

Dang, thats confusing. Thanks Elba. hahaha

[*AngelicEyz00*]

^Reply is "Quote".

I guess it should be renamed to "Reply".

[*Azarel*]

Someone (design staff + other design-related staff?) should be given modding powers in the developers' corner as well as the showcase booth, perhaps.

African is misspelled on the ethnicity dropdown on the Edit Profile page.

Clicking on "Advisor" on your (micron's) profile page leads to a board error probably because advisor isn't a group on the member list either.

Profile views don't transfer to the member list (choose to view all members by profile views in descending order).

Some BB coding does not appear on tutorials (URL tags; example, at the bottom of the tutorial).

[Rachel]

^Reply is "Quote".

I guess it should be renamed to "Reply".

Agreed, it confused the heck outta me when I was trying to respond to a PM.




Also the quote link next to the quote button is a tad confusing. I am assuming that the second quote button is really for multiple quotes?

[*Azarel*]

^ Yes.

LiveJournal S1 layout previews do not work.

[radhikaeatsraman]

I can't access my 'new winks' section in the 'my account' area. I can access new friend requests & comments, but I can't get to my winks.

[*davinci*]

You can see your winks by clicking on the link in your Statistics box on your profile.

[*The Markster*]

Hm, I don't know if this was already brought up, but when I go to "createblog.com" (without the "www"), it says "Invalid User" or something. It doesn't have the normal homepage on it.

[*davinci*]

My friends list appears like this:


I'm using Firefox 2.0.

-im considering consolidating some staff positions, ill give mod access to the appropriate staff positions once i make a decision.

^ Yes.

LiveJournal S1 layout previews do not work.

oh this isnt a bug. they just need to be assigned the 'generator' style for s1 layouts. i added support for 5 other lj styles.

Hm, I don't know if this was already brought up, but when I go to "createblog.com" (without the "www"), it says "Invalid User" or something. It doesn't have the normal homepage on it.

thanks, i was notified earlier about this by robotic. its been taken care of. =)

gahh what is wrong wtih my css?! back to the drawing board. =(

[talcumpowder]

I'm going to assume my profile doesn't work because I have both spaces and a plus sign in my name . . . But do I have to do something to activate the profile? The link next to my posts doesn't even work and give me an error. Nevermind. Nifty little tool, the name change thing.

And, uh, when I try to post a blog entry . . . I get a blank page. It's somewhat disturbing, and I've got no way to check if it actually posted.

edit// . . . Now that my profile is working, why do I have 9 fave layouts? Only five show up. Same with graphics, it says I have 3 and only one shows up.

[freeflow]

On the scripts page, where you can split it up into categories. It says "graphic" when it should say "script" or "scripts".

[gelionie]

edit// . . . Now that my profile is working, why do I have 9 fave layouts? Only five show up. Same with graphics, it says I have 3 and only one shows up.

I experience a similar problem.
I chose 10 favourite layouts in the beginning of cB3, but then decided I only liked 2 of them. So, I deleted the rest out of my favourites, but still the number of favourites in my stats is 10.

[z3nn1]

Here's a bug. everything goes below the comment at the right.

[loveylovely]

Are genders still supposed to show up beside a member's name in the forums?

[shortcake]

I'm having trouble submitting my graphics cuz the upload pictures is acting up.

[HakunaMatata]

I am totally unable to change my Best Friends in both IE and Firefox. ): I can drag profiles from the Best Friends section, but I can't drag to them.

[*steve330*]

Dno if it's been mentioned, but I keep getting emails saying I received a PM and when I click the link it says that I don't have any messages.

[lawwong]

I edited my profile but when I don't enter my birthday it tells me I put an illegal date when I only enter part of it because I don't want to expose it, it says I entered partial birthday and that can't be processed and they told me that I might as well just not write my birthday at all. I did that again and then it went back to the whole issue of me having an illegal date as a birthday meanwhile I kept everything blank and didn't even put my birthday. Is this a bug?

[*tripvertigo*]

no thats not a bug. you have to enter all fields.

[*digitalfragrance*]

I'm having trouble submitting my graphics cuz the upload pictures is acting up.

Me too. It's telling me that Images can' be uploaded at this time and to try again later. Hopefully this will work itself out.

[sprezzatura]

I know that this problem is addressed in the first page already (but apparently it isn't on the "list" in the first post). But logging in is a HUGE problem for me. Every time I click "Add Reply" or "New Topic" I need to log in (even though I am logged in already, it still logs me out). Not to mention that I have to log in each time I add a reply, I have to log in like 10 times (I swear, yesterday I tried more than 10 times and I still couldn't log in) and it always says "Incorrect Username" or something like that.

It has become extremely annoying EVERY TIME I post something...(even posting this reply requires about 3 times of re-logging in.) I didn't post as much these days because the logging in really bothers me and it is time-consuming.

[Simba]

I've been having problems with rearranging my Best Friends in my profile.

I can move around the first page of friends, but any time I change pages, nothing can move around.

[*kryogenix*]

Oh yeah, maybe I didn't mention it, but right before CB, some of my posts mysteriously disappeared.

[*steve330*]

^Must be global warming.

I was having that same issue on Friday. I tried again this morning and it seemed to be working.

Really? It is saying your have new PMs and then there's nothing there or are you referring to PMs that you know you have and have read and are suddenly not there?

[*steve330*]

well, you (used to be Duchess of Dork right?) had sent me a PM after I sent you one a week or so ago, and it told me you sent it when I checked my email, and when I clicked the link it said that there were no PM's or whatever it says when you don't have anything.

[*shotgunFUNERAL*]

when logged into the forums, clicking my account at the top asks me to log back in to go to my profile. if you log in with the page that comes up, i forget what page it takes you to, but it doesn't log you in to edit your profile. i have to click my account, get to the log in page, click the log in link at the top of the new log in page, log in, wait for it to redirect me to the home page, then click my account from the homepage to get to my actual subdomain account. perhaps something easier would be nice?

Yep, that's me. Hmm. Wonder if it has anything to do with name changes. Are you missing PMs from anyone who hasn't had a name change?

Actually, come to thikn of it it's really you/michelle and both of y'all changed names

Anyways, there are two steve330 accounts, one has 0 posts, one is obviously me :) I just logged on to the other steve330 just now and saw 8 PM's, could y'all delete the non-posted one? If necessary send the account's email a question etc and I'll respond from it just to verify

hey what version ff are you using? did this happen recently (like in the last two days?). it could be because of some new html i added.

It started happening earlier today but as soon as a reinstalled it it was fine.

UHM I can't make topics, the interent errors out.

^OMG! me too. I thought it was just me. Plus i can't "add reply" either. I can "fast reply".

I hope this get fixed soon.

[Jeng]

..weird..same here..

[birdman]

Don't know if I missed reading the solution for this (searched for it though). I can't edit my tutorials. Previewing submissions don't work and things put under the CODE brackets won't display the actual codes instead converted into actual form.

[*davinci*]

I suppose this is a bug. When searching for profiles with the most winks, I'm guessing those in the double digits don't show up for that reason. Don't see a problem with any other search.

[*alovesopure*]

Hmm.. Well, my birthday is over and my age hasn't changed on my cB profile.
Nevermind, I went to "Edit profile", click on my birthdate and hit "Edit profile" at the bottom (didn't change the birhtdate around, but it changed my age).
But Mike's hasn't changed, it doesn't change automatically like it should.
