Why don't you like the shoutbox?

Enabling embedding of videos like that would (I believe) require that I enable users to post html on top of vbcode. This sounds harmless enough until someone posts:
a) something malicious that does pop-ups or some other spyware gheyness
or worse
b) something way more malicious, hacks user accounts, my server, your mom's vagina, etc.

I'll look into it though. If it can be safely done, we'll rock it.

When that "light box" for attached images pops up, I always get a red x. If I left click on the x, it opens a new window and displays the image, but that's annoying. Is it the site or my computer?

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

And what is this tags thing at the bottom, right above the quick reply box?

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

You can tag threads so in the future, if people search for those specific tags, the threads will show up. Its a way to organize threads. The only problem is people putting in junk tags... like "DSM" or "turbo"

I'm getting old and cant read small print as well as I used too :P


If we could embed vids that would be sweet, if not oh well.

Good job on the site mang!

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

You know, glad you pushed me on this one. Check it out:

It's vbcode so you do:
'open bracket youtube closebracket uniqueIDfromyoutube openbracket forward-slash youtube closebracket'

I'll get some other sites working if I can and make a post about this.

As for the text size, click on the Shoutbox header, and from there I think you can change it for yourself :)

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I never took the time to figure out how to make these work, glad I finally did, embedded video is bad-ass!

Ooh, I didn't try that yet, awesome! If anyone finds any more cool features, post up!

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I also made this a sticky in the video section.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Added photobucket too.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Hey scheides, I have a friend who is trying to register for the site and says he's been having problems with the image verification thing? He says hes kept trying and he's not sure if hes just blind or if its the forums fault, just thought Id give you a heads up.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Thanks, I will check it out.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I looked, and the image thing is a little goofy sometimes. Have him refresh it a few times (there's a button right next to it) until its ledgable.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Cool, Ill let him know, thanks scheides.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Sweet, embed rocks!

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I'm not sure if it's just me, but the site seems to be extremely slow now. All other sites I go to load up quickly, but this one is just real slow.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Vimeo embeded added!

Anyone else feel slowness?

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

It's still loading fast for me.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Also, the shoutbox freezes on me after about 1 minute of use. I have to reload the site about every minute for it to work.

This is on Internet Explorer 6.0 at my work.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Weird, I'll try this on a box I have at work. I cannot seem to replicate these IE issues a couple people have mentioned. Install firefox or update that old stanky thing ;)

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

sofar awesome on Firefox!!

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

FYI Scheides, this is on on my work laptop. Everything works fine at home on Firefox. Daddy Westinghouse doesn't want us upgrading to IE7 on our work laptops due to some VPN issues it causes. And as for Firefox, they don't want us installing that. They get a bit anal when it comes to loading any outside programs onto our work computers. Hell I'm still suprised this site hasn't been blocked by them ;) So I'm stuck with IE6 here at work. And with IE6, the site is loading slow, and things freeze quite often.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I dunno if you were doing some quick fixes or something, but last night at about 12:30 the site completely froze, no new pages would load for me. But I came back about 15 mins later and everything was fine.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

IE7 still drops the shoutbox down to 1 line sometimes, not all the time like it did before. I'll add more if I can figure out when it does it.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Is there anyway to change the amt of time the SB automatically makes you idle. Seems like I click on my other tab and I come back like a min or 2 later and I'm idle. Get's annoying after a little while.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I'm not sure there's much I can do man, I'm sorry. It's just the shoutbox, the rest of the site works fine?

Nightly backup. It used to happen at 11pm and I bumped it back to 12:30 or so. It's a necessary evil. Yes I could do it at 4am, but there's so much data (besides just this site) to back up, i need the time between the data dump and the morning 'regular hours' to copy it all off-site for backup.

Let me know if it still does it. I changed a bunch of sh1t around again.

Yup, that was annoying. I bumped it to 500 seconds, from 180.


With all of this said, please understand everyone that there's only so much that I can do with the shoutbox. It's out-of-the-box software, I didn't pay for it (its free), and frankly this is a forum, not a chat window ;) I'll do what I can though.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

In general the site just loads very slowly. From the time I type in the address, to the moment the site is loaded, it's usually a good 20 seconds. While other sites (and this site before the change took place) load in 2 seconds.

I don't spend much time on here at work though, so not a huge deal for me. I'm not bitching, just reporting what I've noticed like you asked.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Not sure if its been mentioned but this site will stop loading and freeze randomly between pages and give me the screen like it cant connect to the internet.. its getting really annoying now. and I cant get this site back up til I close it and reload it all over again.

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Ya man I just cannot figure out what it is with this upgrade that would have induced this for you. If you try jumping straight to a sub forum, is it still slow?

i.e. : http://mitsustyle.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=21

Is it often when loading the main forums page? Just wondering if its a shoutbox issue with you guys or something else. What web browser and version?

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I'm using the newest version of internet explorer. And when I go from the main page and click the new posts button or vice versa is when it will just freeze and show that it's loading. It will do that for like 5 mins til it says "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage." Then I gotta close the page and re-open it and it works fine until it does this again..

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Damn it IE, wtf.

Can you try firefox?

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

I could try and download it.. It's free right? and it just did it to me again.. haha

Re: Upgrade to vBulletin 3.8.1 complete!
 

Just installed it.. I'll see how it goes. Seems faster already
