3 small glitches

1) I once had an issue where I typed a post, then put two tags, but it kept telling me that there was a limit which I had exceeded, and therefore could not post. I then saved it as a draft, and came back to it to find that it had been saved with tonnes of code as tags. Today a member tried posting and it told her that she could not post more than 5 tags, yet she had not exceeded the limit. I'm wondering if this is a glitch?

2) When I put in the option of members getting confirmation emails, the members that first signed on did not get a confirmation email, and I had to sign them on manually as they remained unconfirmed (I have now changed the settings). Could this be because they are from the same IP address as an existing member (namely me)?

3) I noticed a member had edited his post, but when I went to check the log (I had just deleted all of my own post logs a while before), there was nothing there.

I also got a notification that "system" posted a comment on one of my threads, but this does not exist when I click on the link. I take it this is a glitch.


Just wondered if this all may be some sort of glitch, or whether I've done something wrong on my settings.

Comments

  • 1) Yes, there are some glitches in the Tagging plugin that will be remedied in the next update.

    2) No, this is because the confirmation email is not retroactive when you turn it on. You'll need to manually update their accounts.

    3) I've never seen this issue; I'll have a look.

    The "System" notification was just me testing something. I deleted the comment afterward.
  • 1- Alright, thanks!

    2- No but this was when it was on; they joined afterwards (yesterday). One of them automatically became a member, and the other stayed unconfirmed, but neither got an email. I then manually changed it, and switched off the option because I thought it didn't work. I'll test it again with some of my email addresses.

    3- Ok, thanks!

    Yes, I thought it might have been you as the times sort of coincided, but I thought I'd ask anyway, in case something weird was happening!

    Thanks again :)

    2) Hmm, could be an email delivery issue. Have them check their spam folder. If you manually approve their account, maybe have them try the password reset and see if that email is delivered. If there's a problem, let me know their email address (here or via support@vanillaforums.com if you don't want it public) and I'll check our outgoing email logs.

    Sure thing!
  • k.van.dijck@hotmail.com and wesselvandijck@yahoo.com. I actually did the pw reset for k.van.dijck, and he received an email about that. So maybe a small temp glitch? It's ok for now though as I've put the setting off, but I thought maybe other people might also have had the same issue. Better to let you know early.

  • Regarding part 3 (change log), it appears to be working correctly since June 25. My only explanation is perhaps the other events were accidentally deleted when you were cleaning out the logs from your posts. If you see it in accurately reporting further changes, let us know.
