Hi guy's

Thats is a small form error, the text box you are writing in is a form. When you write in a form and want to leave the page the browser will ask automaticly if you want to save the form or not.

This error is a bit different, i get this error every day, but not everytime i want to post.
hopefully resetting the cache would help (by doing this the original scripts of the site would refresh on your browser, which can remove some errors)

Just keep in mind the first ten post weather you are in the lurker group or newly registered still have to be approved by the mods before they actually count on your post count.
And yes the mod do have to physically read each post first before approval. It not done automatically
We try very hard to take care of these as quickly as possible but their are times when their are not mods present and may take a few hours before they get approved.
Normally its not more than about 2 or 3 hours at the most before one of us are present.
The mods of VC are all volunteers and have separate life's outside the forum so just keep this in mind when posting you might have a small wait till one of us have time to be on the site and approve the post.
Thanks everyone for your understanding

Sometimes randomly when I am composing a post then upload an image(s) from my computer if I click the "Go Advanced" button to preview my post the forum page will turn completely white & blank and seem to freeze with the only solution being to click the "Post Quick Reply" button to preview my post then edit my post if necessary.

Edit: I tried to post a screenie but naturally everything is working as it should ATM, will post one if happens again.

yeah that was a mod, that feature used to be the old vbulletin versions but it was removed long ago, I installed a mod that did the same thing but the new updates added new features that caused conflicts and it was disabled automatically during the update, I did enable it again but I noticed there were duplicate notifications, there is still a new post link on the toolbar under the navigation bar, there is also a updated whats new in the navigation bar that is pretty nice

No worries mate, I just edited the option a bit on whats new, I made it so the posts expire after 7 days, default was 30 but I did set it to 60 at first before I knew what it was, I also increased the amount of the post it will display there, I can set it to show all of the post but not sure if that is something everyone wants, it also makes the ispy mod a bit redundant so if you don't really use it then maybe I should disable that one now

on the what's new i think 7 days is good. new post i think should be only post made since a member last logged in, but limited to x amount of days. as for ispy i think i've use it maybe 2 times, but others may use it way more often. maybe take a poll.

dont think its a cache problem tho, what happens is, i hit the image icon for inserting in a image, and the up-loader box appears, wen i hit upload, it uploads the image, but its not put in the post, but at the bottom as an attachment instead, then i try too go to advance and put in in from there, from the attachments box, but after i selected the image and hit the insert button, nothing happens :)

Hey Masters,

sorry to bother you again, but i have again problems inserting images into post between text, it goes every time on the bottom as attachment :evil:

In fact here you find a screen of the uploader, i remember few weeks ago i have a button to choose "Insert on-line" to properly put the image where my cursor is on the post(and after that appears where was the cursor the HTML tag for ATTACHMENT with a random number), and it works!

Now is disappeared, and after few nowadays tests (with Nightly 18.0.1 it goes always on bottom and no HTML tag for attachment :??:??) and with explorer 9 works flawlessy and soooo slowly just the first time(with the insert image button).... then back as Nightly issue

Can you help Masters?

Big thanks!

i've beem having this issue on another vb site using ff 16. i just tested ie9 over there and it worked perfectly. now with ff i have never had this prob before so something has either changed with ff or some vb update isn't playing nice with ff. since that site is the latest vb and you guys just did updates my money is on it being a setting or prob in vb and not in ff.

Yep get this issue myself on waterfox for the last week or so pics upload fine in the window but cannot be insterted afterwords in the post, the fly out is there and clicking it won't instert them anymore only way around it I have found is by doing the post uping the images and having them come as attachements at the bottom then I submit the post and have to go back and hit edit post am then able to insert the images inbetween text I have been on the same browser for a long while now waterfox 15 it was fine problem cropped up about 4 or 5 days ago.

my original thought was maybe because of the file size. do you know of any other files hosted here besides hammerjack's storm series that are over 25 megs? i'd be more than happy to attempt to download and see if it does it for them?

http://virtualcustoms.net/showthread.php/45699-(alienware-2030-THE-NEW-BEGIN)

I still don't know the cause of this problem, I have noticed the site is being heavily restricted while downloading files, for example if I want to load another page while downloading a file it just hangs until the download is complete, I am also using IDM (Internet Download Manager) and I have not had a problem getting the whole file but I used to get 8 open connections but now it will only give me one open connection so there is definitely some limiting factor restricting the amount of open connections for any one user.

The only problem is I don't know what or where to change that or even when the problem started, I have been trying to fix other problems on the site for months now and honestly I am not a web master, I really have no clue about any of this server stuff, I look at Google for help and try many things so I have probably completely stuffed the server, so maybe at some point we might have to just backup the site and get the host to give us a clean slate and start over, I could get a fully managed server but the cost is a lot more, preferably I need to get someone who knows their stuff and can set everything up but that also costs lots of money.

I might have to talk to our service provider about the problems and see if they can do anything, maybe see if they can back up the site and get rid of Plesk and install cPanel instead, cPanel seems a lot more configurable and user friendly then Plesk but it also isn't free like Plesk is, I guess you get what you pay for, also starting to wonder if we should change from Linux to a Windows based server OS as there are some limitations I have noticed with file sizes on Linux, for example I had a large folder containing thousands of error logs and was unable to delete the folder because it was too large.

I really want to be able to fix the problems on the site but with my limited knowledge I do not want to touch anything else in case I end up doing more harm then good, as it seems that's all I have done so far.

grim i'm more apt to believe a bug in the vb software itself. remember i tried to download the fire storm side panels from creatvx and got the same thing. part of the problem may be because of something you and thebull did on your respective forums, but it's unlikely you both created the exact same problem. it is far more likely it's a bug in vb.

Out of hundreds of downloads of the 6 sets of the STORM series, only one person has experienced an interrupted download.

guy's it is in vb and or the server software and not this end. i'm not the only one that had the problem. we all know most peeps won't bother to do the right thing and report a problem they're having on a forum. like i said i've gone out and tested extensively, and the problem only happens with files directly uploaded to vb forums. then you have my roommate who is also having the problem. we have different versions of firefox, and different addons. plus look at the message, it's a message about the server. just leave the issue for now grim will get it figured out between himself and his server host.

Steve it not only Hammer and Chucky I have the issue also
The other day I tried downloading numerous files as mark messed with the site settings
I never was able to complete a download from the site without it erring out before it completed


Steve I just tried downloading Hammer's mui sidepanels pics again and this is what I get between 20mb to 22mb each time I have tried it
D:\My Downloads\Fire_STORM_Mui_SideImages.7z.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Try again later, or contact the server administrator.

Mark even repacked the original files using 7zip the other day to compress the file size down some and reuploaded them back to the site it didn't make a difference. I still got that same error

Think I may have fixed the download problem now, pages should also load faster, I found file-based sessions in PHP cause all requests from the same client to be processed sequentially in a queue, rather than in parallel, this meant only one image could be loaded at a time, or if you were downloading a file, it would only allow 1 connection so download accelerators didn't work, plus it would not load a new page if you were downloading a file.

Now I changed the Session storage mechanism to memory and everything is working as it should, I guess I must have changed that setting at some point for some reason, well at least now I know what it does lol.

select a home page

if Firefox goto ( Tools\Clear Recent History ) select every thing and clean the cache of cookies or press CTRL+SHIFT+DEL and select all and clean cache.

if google chrome put this in the URL bar ( chrome://chrome/settings/clearBrowserData ) select beginning of time and select clean.

then close the browser and open it come back to VC and login

Note: if it keeps happening you will have to repeat the proccess each time.

or you can close you browser and run Glarys utilitys or CCleaner to clear the cookies from the browser cache

Hi mate

when you click facebook connect are the password and email address the same, if you changed ether one then it will fail. you can go into your settings on your profile and change them to match you facebook then the connect should work again.

hope this helps.

I also fixed the text, just increased the line height a bit, it does effect the whole site though, not just that area, I don't think it has caused any problems but I could be wrong lol.

December 30th, 2014, 05:19 AM
What security software are you running if any at all? your security software may be scanning and locking the file.Are you using any extensions? if so try disabling them and then try again.Another possible solution is to close firefox and delete the "compreg.dat" file from the firefox profile folder.Also the "Source file could not be read error occurred" in older firefox versions if the "History.dat" file was set to read only.The "History.dat" file is no longer used in firefox 3 and up.

Thanks. I have googled all those and attempted the removing files, but none of the .dat files are in profile. I have unistalled & totally deleted all files for 3 browsers: Cyberfox, Firefox, & Chrome; then have reinstalled each individually and nothing. I have bitdefender as AV. I have turned off before opening browser. I can go to sourceforge and download a 7z file just fine. I can download files from VC on deviantart fine.

I don't know about that, I have been watching the board and I see new members arriving here almost on a daily basis. I kind of like the way things are setup here, I can comfortably read the boards without worrying about being spammed or harassed by nonsense. I also think the download settings are just fine so that people cannot just join, download and run, never be heard from again.
IMO, I think new members should be made to contribute something if they want to reap the benefits.

Dark Knight (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/199178-Dark-Knight) first i said nothing about removing the feature of having x amount of post before being able to download something. personally i'd make it mandatory to click either thank you or like this post to be able to download an item. second about a year back members across a lot of the forum asked that a lot of the eye candy be removed cause it was too distracting. forums were loosing members because of it. once forums started to simplify their sites members started coming back. yes we get new members here but it's mostly peeps that never post at all, peeps that come in one time and never return. i've been through the members list on more than one occasion and we could probably purge 95% and not one of them would even realized they were removed. now before you claim i'm advocating for purging that 95%, i'm NOT. i personally don't have a problem with the eye candy and probably never will, but i know a lot of peeps do. i am sure even though megathemer doesn't have win 10 themes one of the main reasons they are still so active is the fact that they dropped a lot of the eye candy. now they did have way too many bells and whistles.

Can you give examples of what mods or eye candy you would suggest I remove, personally I don't see anything distracting, the site runs fine as far as I can see, the only thing the site doesn't have is members that comment regularly, doesn't mean they don't still visit often though, I don't really see anything that needs fixing.

oh ok that does explain it. as for the eye candy most forums like megathemer have gone to the simple skins, or at least gave there member a choice between the highend skins and a simple one.

I'm not sure why it's only showing up properly when I'm not logged in, but I can't find an option in settings that enables or disables this feature [either that or I'm just blind]. Either way, I figured I should just point this out in case anyone else might possibly be having this issue.

Ok, i mixed the names up, my bad. He was trying to post a Profile image, not an avatar image. And I'm having the exact same issue when trying to change my profile image. the image i tried for mine was in the kb size and was less than the maximum size limit, but it still didn't accept the new profile image. Apparently there's something wrong with the settings option to set a profile image to the account. As for the image he was trying to apply, I don't have that at the moment. I'll be sure to have him send it to me via Skype as soon as he comes online. We live in different states so I have to wait for him t come online, lol. I still have my old profile image set but its not letting me apply a new one either. I'm not sure why it' giving that message. I tried to apply my new avatar image as a profile image but it gave me the same message that my brother was getting. There's absolutely no difference in size or format, so I don't really know what's going on. I will send you my image for now so you can test it out and try to figure out what's going on.

yes i check the box, but i don't allow cookies to be kept, nor do i have autologin allowed. in my case it's probably my cookie manager deleting the vc cookie when the original vc tab is closed. for some reason unlike other sites it doesn't see that the second or third vc tab is actually vc. i can live with it since i know it does it. as for ccleaner i don't let it clean chrome cause it likes to mess with fvd speed dial and neither the makers of speed dial or ccleaner will say which program actually causes the problem. i have the auto history wiper extension installed and that seems to work perfectly. it wipes chromes entire history when chrome is opened.

As for me, I ALWAYS check the remember me box. It saves me steps. Any time Chrome can do something for me, anytime my OS can do something for me, I let it. Chrome remembers all my bookmarks, all my passwords, all my extensions, everything. It actually saves me days in setup. I remember Netscape Navigator. Every time I would reinstall it, or my OS, I would need to reinstall all my settings. What a PITA!!! Now we have the cloud, and everything is much, much simpler.

That has nothing to do with being logged out on mobile immediately after opening a link and tab to somewhere on the site. I do not use a cookie manager. I like to be logged out when I'm not actually on the site.

Well then you will need to log in each time. As for me, I ALWAYS check the remember me box. It saves me steps. Any time Chrome can do something for me, anytime my OS can do something for me, I let it. Chrome remembers all my bookmarks, all my passwords, all my extensions, everything. It actually saves me days in setup. I remember Netscape Navigator. Every time I would reinstall it, or my OS, I would need to reinstall all my settings. What a PITA!!! Now we have the cloud, and everything is much, much simpler.


I don't use Chrome but basically my setup is the same way but my settings are save locally.

I have to say, that is a very dangerous game you are playing saving your settings and passwords and such in the cloud, even if I could, I wouldn't, no matter how safe someone said it was. LastPass thought they were safe too.

Okay, you do know that the cloud is just another name for storage right? I mean your stuff is not just floating around in cyber space waiting on you to access it, it's being stored on hard media somewhere.
Hey, if you comfortable with that, more power to ya. I'd never do it.

OK guys, this is not the thread to talk about this type of stuff. I posted one comment in here about a problem with the site 2635599 (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/177825-2635599) is the only one that has been on topic since that post. I may have to start a new thread and move all those post about password storage and whatnot to that thread if this continues. dhjohns (http://virtualcustoms.net/member.php/298513-dhjohns) I believe you're wrong on this point, I just tested it by checking the box, logging in, closing the only Virtual Customs tab, opening a private browsing window and sure enough I am still online even though I have exited out the window. As I said, I like to log out every time I'm not on the site.

How long has this been happening for? It is normal behaviour to be logged out after a period of inactivity if you are not checking the remember me box at login.

This is from the vbulletin staff.


If you delete your cookies, you will be logged out. If you use a cookie manager, you will be logged out. If you don't accept cookies, you will be logged out. If you have Javascript disabled, you will be logged out. If users are on mobile devices, the only browsers that are officially supported are the Android Browser and Safari for iOS. However can't replicate this problem using Google Chrome on iOS or Silk Browser on FireOS.

The deletion of cookies is the cause of the problem. Unfortunately "Users getting logged out" isn't really enough information. What are their environments? What version are you using? Are they using ad blockers? Cookie Blockers? Javascript Blockers? Have they modified their mobile OS (i.e. Rooted or Jailbreak, neither of which are supported)?

Mr GRiM it has been happening for as long as I can remember using the site on mobile. I use stock android settings for Google Chrome. So as far as I know I'm not using any blockers including adblocker on mobile. Not sure what other information I can provide that can be helpful, but just let me know. Steps to reproduce are just log in and then open a link in a new tab, after that I get logged out.

Edit: The problem goes away after selecting the Remember Me box, so I consider that an acceptable solution. Thanks for looking into it.

I noticed there is a problem with some poster's post structure perhaps if they have small or no avatars being cut off (first noticed on VC green, switched black themes, changed zoom ratio, same issue is apparent it seems):

75166

Also, for some time I have wondered whether the black themes should have 1px black lines in these locations? (Same kind of lines that are cut off in the first screenshot)
It sort of looks to me like they should be there because the pattern becomes disrupted instead of being a line, I'm not sure if it is a design choice though.

It's because the thread was moved to the post bin, that section is only visible to staff, so that's why it says hidden. See how I can view them, so it's not an actual issue

Hey Grim, could you disable the default mobile style again please? The old behavior of opening a new VC tab, it switching to the default mobile style and immediately logging you out is back. Using Chrome/Firefox on android, stock settings, no blockers.

Edit: I must have forgot you can fix the problem by checking the remember me box, that still works.

if you go to settings you'll find an area on the left called 'permission groups'. the option to change which group you show up as is in there.

Still having this bug. Getting rather annoying now, tbh. However, I've recently noticed the bug is nonexistent when using Internet Explorer. Shows up on pretty much every other browser I've tried, though [still haven't tested on mobile since my Windows phone is such an ass].

[I may eventually look towards jail-breaking my Nokia Lumia 635 Windows Phone and turning it into an Android, lol.]

actually i find it a tossup which has the best extensions made for it. chrome has a nasty habit of eating way too system resources. good thing is both browsers will be using chrome style extensions in the near future.

Firefox based browsers will be dropping xul based extensions in November, pale moon has changed its engine and those same extensions should continue to work.

Edit: Here's what they officially say. They can be ported.


The future of Pale Moon is to maintain this general level of compatibility with traditional (XUL) Firefox-targeted extensions, although the (transitional) dual-ID setup will eventually be removed, at which point only Pale Moon targeted extensions will be accepted. This will still allow developers to target both Pale Moon and Firefox with specific code for them in a single package, but Firefox-only extensions will not longer be accepted by the browser when this lands.”
“Unlike Firefox, Pale Moon will continue to offer full support for XUL and XPCOM binary-component extensions and there is no plan to discard the current extension system in lieu of Chrome-like alternatives (WebExtensions).

while i've already seen firefox have issues with some current addons as mozilla plays around with the new system i have yet to see cyberfox have these issues. i'm assuming toady is going the same route as pale moon supporting old and new.

I figured out what the issue with the Arena Blue theme is. It's apparently a sizing issue. At 100% size the user avatar image gets moved to the right and overlaps the things on the right of it. At 90% it fits properly and has no issues, Here are some screenshots of the issue.
