There are only "Submit reply" and "Preview post" buttons.
There is a drop down up top of the page of posts - "Thread Tools" - open that and you will see an option to subscribe.
szlamany, "Thread Tools" = "Something went wrong". See my attachment above.

Doesn't that look like a winner to you:wave:

No, because I don't want to spam and offtop on every topic I want to subscribe (track).
To apply changes (besides marking that checkbox) I also need to press button "Submit reply" to take effect.
There is no such effect by pressing second button "Preview post".
I understand you experience multiple problems after updating engine.
But, users shouldn't be scientists and use different tricks just to use normal function on the normal place each forum has.
Thanks.
Dragokas - as far as anyone knows - You are the only person with this problem.... I was "attempting" to do an experiment but need YOUR cooperation.
PLAN B - try as many different Browsers as you have. I used Chrome and was able to subscribe to the post you mentioned.
Hi, Steve R Jones!
I thought that others do not write because they don't want to duplicate.
But, if it so, I'll try different browsers / OS.
Thank you.
BTW, I described several problems. Do you mean all of them related to me only?
--
EDIT.
I checked:
1) Subscription problem (Thread tools => Subscribe => Add subscription).
2) posting 'hxxp://' text problem, like hxxp://123 => Press "Advanced"
I disabled and unloaded my antivirus.
- in Chrome (Win 7 x64). I removed all extentions and reloaded browser. The problem still exist.
- in Firefox (Win 7x64). I disabled all my extensions. The problem still exist.
- in Safari (XPx32 VMWare). The problem still exist.
- in Edge (Win10x32 VMWare). The problem still exist.
I'm starting to doubt that I am the only person with these issues.
Also, I'm receiving such errors every time I login:
And sometimes after moving by hyperlinks:Quote:

For the Subscription problem, does it only happen with one particular thread?
I checked different thread from random sections. It doesn't matter. The same issue with all.
We all do... it's a problem with the highlight plugin, it's a known issue, and as far as I know, it's being looked at.Quote:

I didn't go through this thread to see if something similar is going on so...sorry about that.
When I log on from home the site looks like it is under a big magnifying glass. Just a few words from the site take up the whole screen. All other sites I visit are fine. Any thoughts!
Does it get better and if so - what steps do you have to take?
When did it start?
What browser are you using?
Have you tried a different browser?
Did you make any changes to your pc prior to this issue starting?
In theory, you don't need to log off the site unless you're killing cookies... But there is an issue all of us are seeing if and when we log in.... We see multiple PHP Error messages....that is being worked on.
Does it get better and if so - what steps do you have to take?
I just haven't been using the site from home.
When did it start?
I guess I noticed it a few days ago but I don't get in from home that often.
What browser are you using?
Google Chrome. Same as I am on right now.
Have you tried a different browser?
Nope...If I can't use Chrome I'll just stay off from home.
Did you make any changes to your pc prior to this issue starting?
I haven't but I allow automatic updates.
This is the only site with the issue that I have encountered. I was fine until the "upgrade". I was just asking to see if it was occurring to anyone else.
Have you tried altering the zoom settings of the browser? (you can do it via the menus etc, or by pressing Ctrl and scrolling the mouse-wheel)
The zoom settings are usually remembered per-site, so if you accidentally altered the zoom for a page on this site, it is probably still at that 'wrong' level.
That is worth a try...it does look like that. I'll check it tonight. Thanks!Quote:

First time it was in replying to a post... now it's happened again in this thread when I hit the "Go Advance" button so I can add an attachment.
Let's see if it happens a third time...
That time it worked... the thing the first two posts had in common that this post doesn't have are links ... I'm attaching txt files of both posts.

I don't know if this thread is monitored any more, but this is ridiculous. I quit. I just can't take it any more. I just wasted 10 minuted typing up a post because I'm having an issue with something, and when I went to post it, I got the "Opps, something went wrong" error message. I thought, OK, fine, you know what, since the problem isn't really about VB, but rather DotNetCore, EF, and C#, I'll go to sister site CodeGuru and post it there... so I navigate to CG... tried to login... password didn't work, clicked on Forgot password and got the "Ooops, something went wrong" error message. So I quit. Between the Britany Spears errors, the double postings, and incredibly slow performance, it's clear something is horribly wrong and clearly the platform isn't handling it well. I'm not sure why there's a continued attachment to VBulletin other than historical, but maybe it's time to move to something more stable/modern. Maybe it's time to strip things back down to their bare bones and start over. Some has to give, and at the moment, it's this camel's back.
Someone call me when September's over.
Maybe I'll reconsider returning.

What in the heck is a Britney Spears error? Is that a cute name for the Ooops error?
Incredibly slow performance - do you really mean Slow? I can't see it getting any better from where I'm sitting... Please explain. Thanks
Oops - I did it again...
Is that a lyric from one of her songs?

DD - it appears that you ended up being successful. True or False?
If false - I need to contents of your post in a Text file so I can forward it. No can read your screen shot.
I posted a modified version that went through. I can get the actual example to you on Monday.
OK... This whole situation is a SECURITY Measure. The main guys added all sorts of filters etc....and when they detect something they don't like the site spits out the error...
Since you're familiar with the before and after posts.... you should be able to find the difference and could point that out.
Here is the text file: Attachment 162169
The difference between what I attempted to post and what I actually posted is that what I attempted to post included HTML markup tags:
- html
- body
- table
- tr
- td
- h2
- p
- br
- img
- a
whereas the what I actually posted only included the following HTML markup tags:
- table
- tr
- td
My guess is that it was either the html tag and/or the body tag that caused the issue.
I submitted your info.
I received another one trying to create a thread in the database development forum:

And it would not allow the CODE that is in the .TXT file to be above the query results.
I was putting that code into it's own [Code.../Code] blocks
OK... so this is new... I was posting a reply in this thread: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ID-s&p=5350949 ... when I got the "Oooops something went wrong" error... what was strange was that 1) first I got the "are you sure you want to leave this page" warning ... and 2) it happened quick, as in as soon as I hit the quick reply button... but that's not even the strange part ... despite the oops error... my post still posted.. Even after I went back and noticed a problem with it, and edited it, when I saved it, I got the Ooops error a second time (no leaving message) it still saved the changes.... normally when the ooops error happens it doesn't. But this time it did.
Not sure if I should be grateful or spooked out... or both.

Sounds like the OOPS message was related to the rogue second post it was trying to do - maybe?
I had the error when posting in the database forum. Attached is a text file with the "something went wrong" information, the MySQL code causing the issue, and the URL of the thread.

Y'all can now laugh at my terrible SQL :bigyello:
I would usually cast those NULLS as numeric - CAST(NULL as money) AS home_premium. In the first SELECT. Subsequent ones after the UNION only supply data - not metadata...
when i login they write a message:
PHP User Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: bbcode_highlight in ..../includes/functions.php on line 4197
hans.grgenstein - that is a known issue.
Just had some interesting experience with the Something Went Wrong message. A new user had posted some code without the code tags for formatting. To be nice, I edited the post to add the CODE tags...and got the message. The result was a mess, because the formatting was there, but the message had become truncated part way through the code. That meant that not all the code was there, and the message below the code had been lost.
My next step was to compare the new to the original and restore the original, but what I found was that there were three different new versions. I took all of the original and tried to paste it over the mess that remained, got the Something Went Wrong error again, and ended up with the code (with format tags), and a few words of the following text, but the rest was still gone. Now, that's kind of interesting, because the original that I had copied and tried to paste, had no formatting tags. What I got was most of the fixed post, minus a chunk from the bottom.
Next, I tried to go back and get just the missing part, but by then there were some six to eight 'old versions', and the original compared to the recent had all the code in there twice, or more, and what was new and original was interleaved in odd and incorrect ways.
Unfortunately, my final act was to delete the whole mess, since it turned out to be a duplicate anyways, so the record of the futility of adding CODE tags, and the strange mess of copies it created, was lost.
This may not be of any value, since Something Went Wrong is such a black swan event, these days, but a few points can be taken from this:
1) I was editing a post when something went wrong, and part of the edit did happen (the code tags got added), but part of the post was lost in the process.
2) Looking at the edit history, even though I had done only one edit, there were three new versions showing up along with the original. When I tried to fix it and something went wrong again, I got a further three new versions.
Calling it a "Black Swan" is being nice.... Thanks
99% of the time if the post shows up in the PreMod Queue - you can go to the main Sub Section like "FORUM FEEDBACK" and approve the post/thread from there.
I haven't seen one of these in YEARS. I can't say how long it has been, but a good long time...until this one. That's a black swan event, to me.
Every time I try to post a reply, I get a "something went wrong message.

Note: Except this page????????
The SWW errors are a security check. A simple reply should not cause it to be kicked off. If you are responding with quoted information from another post, then if there is code in the original post, that could cause the error to possibly be tripped. A standard reply with nothing quoted, should not generally cause it to happen.....
i tried to post :-
so are you going to evaluate each operation as it is typed in? or as single caclculation
Code:examle 2 + 1 *3
2+1 = 3 *3 = 9
or 2 + 1 *3 = 5
no code or quotes (though i did try putting it in quotes), no links
in thread http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...VBA-Calculator
seems it allowed the post here after i put some code tags and changed the wording from eg to example, but i can not edit the above post
even with the same changes i can not post in the original thread
Probably the wrong thread for this, but I just need to say that it is embarrassing that a web forum devoted to programming has had unresolved ongoing issues (double posting errors, numerous warnings at the top of each page, etc.) for so long.
Imagine a locksmith club having a busted lock on their front door. Or a club for electricians having bare wires hanging around their light switch.
I'm sure that there are several people on this site that could (and willingly would) take a look at the code and figure out at least some of the problems if they were given the opportunity.
maybe the new owners will get it fixed
I submitted a new list of issues yesterday.Quote:
