minimum character errors - Im' going crazy

[KHALIK]

minimum character errors, on my vb 3.7 board. Im' going crazy as I cannot seem to find the cause to the problem and really need your help.



When posting/editing a large post, I now getting the following error.



The following errors occurred with your submission:

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.



I believe the problem occured when I installed vbTube Pro (not sure), I disabled the plugin but still the same problem occured. I even Disabled all the hooks still the problem presisted.


I have the following set under AdminCP

Minimum Characters Per Post 0 //unlimited
Maximum Characters Per Post 0 //unlimited


Any one know what may be causing this problem?

Create a New Style with no Parent Style. Test again using the new style, does your problem persist?

[KHALIK]

nope.


Just now... I downloaded 3.7.3 version and updated the forum, using all the default files (uploaded before running the 3.7.3 update with default template)
http://www.fragmasters.co.uk/forum/index.php (default template)


I am still getting the above message;
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

You seem to have contricted yourself in your own post... first you say the problem goes away, then you say it comes back? I'm confused. :confused:

If you use the new "Default Style" which you've create, do you receive the error message? Or can you post normally?

nope.

Check your ACP minimum character's allowed. It's not vbtubePro. I use the paid version with about 20 other mods. Something changed in your ACP for posts.

[KHALIK]

The error message is still there, even after a fresh update to 3.7.3

The error message comes up using the default style.

Uploaded all the default 3.7.3 files, still error message remains.


ACP settings are, Minimum Characters Per Post 0 and Maximum Characters Per Post 0, but error message still comes up.

The error message;
The following errors occurred with your submission:

Follow the instructions given here: Help! I've broken my board! (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/disable_plugins) to disable your plugins temporarily. Then with both plugins disabled and using the new default style, does your issue persist?

[KHALIK]

Followed the following instructions;

Tested:
Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> Common Templates (in the menu) -> headinclude
** problem still remains. <---

Tested:
Admin CP -> Styles & Templates -> Style Manager -> [Add New Style]
** problem still remains. <---

Tested:
If you still have the problem then try disabling your plugins:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Plugin/Hook System

** define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); // completely disabled all hooks
** problem still remains. <---

Tested: Also run a file check to look for customized files. Upload the original files if any problems are reported:

Admin CP -> Maintenance -> Diagnostics -> Suspect File Versions
*** removed all suspect files and problem still remains <---

The problem is still there, same error message.

Question are u trying to fill the post with a quote? Quotes dont count toward the min character limit.

no, I am not.

[Lynne]

Have you tried setting your min post count to 1 and your max to something real large, like 99999 and seeing if you still get the error?

[Dave Hawley]

Have you disabled ALL hacks?

[KHALIK]

You mentioned you had the minimum and maximum charcter settings both set to 0. That probably won't work. Set them to something normal like:

minimum = 1
maximum = 10000

All the best,

I was told to do this by vb staff.

It still does not work.

[Dismounted]

Then reply to the ticket saying it still happens.

[Opserty]

The descriptions for both settings say use 0 to disable... anyway vBulletin.com should probably be able handle your problem now. :D
