[RESOLVED] Deleting subscriptions not working?

[jmcilhinney]

I'm trying to delete some subscriptions from the User CP and it seems no to be working. I'm checking the desired subscriptions, selecting Delete from the drop-down list at the bottom and pressing Go. I'm sure I've done it that way in the past.

[jmcilhinney]

Somethin mucho funky goin on. I still can't delete subscriptions. I even tried to delete the most recent one and it didn't work either. I thought I'd try to work around it by creating a folder, moving a bunch of subscriptions and seeing if I could then delete the folder. When I tried this it said invalid subscriptions selected. Again, when I tried the same thing with the most recent subscription the same thing happened. What the...?

[dee-u]

Have you tried the "Unsubscribed"?

[dee-u]

I just tried it and it does not work here either.

[penagate]

Nor for me. Maybe an upgrade issue.

Hey is anyone else having a problem view things (ie: avatars, new thread button,...). Also when i click on stuff like search and thread tools nothing happens.

Thanks

[penagate]

Nope, what browser are you using?

[space_monkey]

That's wierd. I'm using firefox. I wonder if one of my extensions is acting up

[space_monkey]

That's it adblock was blocking all of those images. Although i don't know why. As soon as i disabled it they all came back.

Gaaagh! I was trying to clear out some of my subscriptions... and I can't delete anyof them! What gives?

I also cannot delete any of my subscriptions, theyre just piling up in there

[techgnome]

Hello!!!?!?!?!?!
Is this ever going to be fixed? Is it even being looked at? Are the admins even aware of the problem? Some ackolwdegement of the issues would be nice. At least then I'd know to sit on my hands. But a going over the 300 subscription mark, I'd REALLY like to clean it out....

PS: I did find I can unsuscribe....one thread at a time....

PS-part deux: And now I foind I can't even move them to another folder! What gives? Is this a result form the "upgrade"? If so, it's time for a patch.

I too am not able to delete subscriptios, not even one by one...

[techgnome]

Actualy, I found that I could, but only if there had been a reply and I get the Unsubscribe link in my CP. I imagine I could also visit each blasted thread and use thread tools to unsubscribe.... but for 300?.... nah....

Tg

[penagate]

Obviously you have been deleting them in the past, I have 1,071 subscribed threads...

[Phill64]

Obviously you have been deleting them in the past, I have 1,071 subscribed threads...

woa... that sux

I wonder when the admins will tell us they know about the fault, or if they are going to just hope it goes away

[techgnome]

That's the problem though.... it won't go away....

Tg

[baja_yu]

You're right. You can only unsubscribe if you open the thread and use the Unsubscribe from this thread from the Thread Tools menu.

[crptcblade]

Obviously you have been deleting them in the past, I have 1,071 subscribed threads...

Lightweight.

[techgnome]

Any word on this? Still a problem....

[brad jones]

I'm waiting for the problem to go away...

<Just joking >


I'll make sure JPnyc takes a look at this. He is our forums software expert. He can see if the problem is happening on other forums as well and then track down a resolution.

I assume you've all made sure you have javascript enabled and stuff like that....

Brad!

AH-HA! I knew it!

That's cool, at least now I know some one will be looking at it.

Yes, js is enabled... I found that if I visit each thread, I can then use the Thread Tools menu to remove the subscription, but that could take some time!

I know that based on this thread, Joe (JPnyc) looked into a mass unsubscribe type feature and found that there was not such a thing in vBulletin already. I also know our DBAs don't want to do individual queries because that could become a nightmare really quick.

?? OK, I'm confused then.... if I view all subscribed threads, I can select a check box, then at the bottom is this menu:


And it's that option that isn't working. Or are we talking about two different things altogether?

And the move to another directory part doesn't do anything either.... I tried doing that and it barfed at me.

[jmcilhinney]

In fact, when I try to move a subscription to a different folder, I get an error message saying "Invalid Subscribed Threads specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the webmaster"

[techgnome]

Yup... that's the one I get too..

Tg

[crptcblade]

Is there an ETA on this? The mentally unfit on here that seem to just love to dig up old threads are really getting on my nerves.

[brad jones]

I'll ask Joe to take a look at this and see if he can address the issue where the feature seems broken (as mentioned in techgnome's post)

Brad

[JPnyc]

It's being looked into. I will post updates as they're available. Thanks

[crptcblade]

God bless you Joey Joe-Joe Junior Shabadoo!

This has been mentioned before but nothing was able to be done about it.

The deleting of subscriptions is working, that's all I care about.

[RobDog888]

Well it was in regards to post #24 and thats what I care about.

[jmcilhinney]

Thanks Brad and Joe and whoever else may have had a hand in fixing the subscription deleting issue. I was assuming that not being able to move subscriptions was a different manifestation of the same issue, but I guess not.
