Can someone re-index the database

The board makes little sense with these disjointed messages. Gawd Bob ... I hope this is a free board and they do all the maintenance

Well its free for you Sparks.....hehe.

What do you mean by "re-index the database"?

Bob

Maybe he means the huge gaps in the Chula Vista thread. Large spaces between posts with the print sort of garbled & run together.

Did you have to pay for this forum, Bob? That's not fair for you to carry the costs yourself.

No I just pay for extra storage space. The cost is minimal. It looks like only a few members posts are messed up. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with their settings. Zoey, have you changed any settings recently?

Or it looks like there may be a problem with the quote on replies. I'll have to look at it when I get time this weekend.

Bob

It's doing it on other threads and looks like it starts with a Solovino post ... but it was not that way a few days ago. Maybe his settings changed?

Why me, god? Bob, I have touched nothing in longer than I care to admit to, including my settings, whatever that means. grin. Zoey

I figured out the problem lies with the "quotes" so I guess until I get it resolved avoid using the quote button on your responses (unless you need to).

Thanks,

Bob

One can always copy and paste and avoid using the "quote" button.

Yeah, maybe I'll turn it off for a while.

Yep, if I delete the quote that starts it going funny then it corrects itself.

OK I have found out that the problem is not just with this forum. Everyone using this forum provider is having the same problem. Apparently the techs are working on it. I have turned off the quote button for now. If you need to quote someone just cut and paste.

Sorry,

Bob

If they can't fix this problem I can convert the forum to an older version of PHP. It wouldn't look quite as slick but the quote option works. I just tested it. I'll give them a couple of days. I can always convert it back to this version once the bug has been fixed.

Thoughts??

Bob,

Why make more work for yourself? Give them a chance to fix it, then do the conversion you mention later if necessary. I kinda think you could save a lot
of room on the forum if so many posters didn't feel the need to quote EVERYTHING before they comment.

It would be nice if when we get the "quote" feature back that it would only quote the indicated reply without quoting all the previous quoted replies. Does that make sense?

For that you are better to just copy and paste the part you wnat to quote.

Bob

Or, it's always possible to delete the parts of the quote that don't apply. Lizzy

Bob, it seem to work very good on Firefox & Opera, but not on IE 8

Yeah I think it is an IE related bug. Hopefully they fix it soon.

Cheers,

Bob

I look forward to the return of the Quote feature, also. Please notice how my posts have dropped. Grin. Zoey

As promised, the quote feature has now been fixed.

Enjoy,

Bob, you are too much! Muchas gracias for all the effort you put into this. Your next beer or margharita here is on me.
