I've got members reporting that quotes dont show up for them now. Just one big continuous post apparently.

 

Why fix stuff that doesn't need fixing when there are a million other things to worry about?

 

I swear.... 14 years and i've gone from UBB > VB > IPS and I feel I need to be looking again.

 

FOCUS..... for pete's sake.

Clearing cache did it. I am in safari on a mac.

 

Thanks!

PS Cant create a new ticket either. Same error. 

Wait what? It's working fine on my forums. It even works on old 3.1.4.

I am on 3.2.2 with 3 boards and it does not work on any of them. Here is the response from support:

Hello,

I think.. Either I put this in a bug report at some point, or had a user write up a feedback topic on this fairly recently.

I just did a test on 3.3.0, and it does work there.. So, my guess is either that it was considered a bug in that, or changed to work.. I remember having to look this up at some point in time. Maybe it was that if the user couldn't view the topic list, the permission denied message didn't show? I don't know, I can't find a bug report on it, and testing on 3.3.0, it does work in both cases.

In fact, I have 3.2.3, and it seems like it works in both cases there.. So.. My guess is that there were changes between 3.2.2 and 3.2.3.. This all rings ALOT of bells for me, but, I can't remember the details on it.. I remember hitting this in the past, and it wasn't coded to handle viewing the topic.. Now, if you switch it so that the user can't access the forum, you can see that it gives the message.

My recommendation would be to get to either 3.2.3, because I could test it on that, and it works there.. My guess is that either I put a bug report in about it or a customer made the suggestion in feedback and it was changed between 3.2.2 and 3.2.3

For the record....

If you choose to show the topic list as "teasers" and for SEO purposes, your custom forum message does NOT show up when users click on the topic titles. Just the ugly default error that would run anyone off.

I don't recommend trying this until IPS gives us a real option.
