an absolutely useless forum (message too short)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

message is too short error

I feel like an oath for asking. You should know.

I keep getting a message is too short error when I try to post
a new thread or reply to a thread. It doesn't matter how many
characters I type, I can't post anything on the forum.
(I get the same message) I changed something somewhere, to manage
making a forum absolutely useless. If you know what causes this,
would you kindly reply, with the corrective measure.
I have been adding some products and editing style templates
such as the header, navbar, eTc lately.

flash swf logo/header

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And another thing. How come I keep getting an adobe request
for a debugger every time I open my forum using Explorer?
Works just fine with Firefox.
What could be wrong with my flash swf header code?

see my forum, and explain at will ???????????

You could test to try and write a post while your curious !

And the reason I can not post may come from the twitter and facebook mods I installed at the same time.
(as you say - hacks) ? I have them some what disabled, I guess. At least they don't show anywhere I
am aware of.
I think maybe it is the auto tagging plug in that I installed that
caused the problem. I'm still trying to validate that.
Thank you for the attention.

I updated to 3.8.4 and that seems to have corrected many of my
minor infractions.

I have been getting mySQL database errors over the past week.
My Host, says: " The reason why mysql was down was because this server was being rebooted due to a upgrade fix to the kernel around the time it was responding to mysql. This issue has now been resolved and you should no longer have any issues. Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns ".

I can post nothing on my FORUM.
This is not, a good thing. Can I get some help, please?

I got that responce from my server less than 1 hour ago, today.
The mySQL errors have been coming in for the past week, along with my posting problem.

I have not attempted installing a new temp style yet, but may get to that soon !
I fixed the database twice this week.
O'h how flurrrusterating.

I just uploaded and installed the new config.php yesterday with the 3.8.4 upgrade.
I understand, I will aim at that database info

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate thinking I may have broke something other than anyones heart !

Any suggestion concerning the flash header - message box keeps popping up, when using internet explorer for the browser, and before any page in the Forum will load, it has to be closed. view= ?source code?

I can't figure out how to create a facebook application.
I have a similar app for vbTwitter, but the mod explained it.
I haven't been a facebook user but 3 days now. Twitter, only a month.
Could someone lend some detailed experience on the facebook Connect app.


I have yet to completely download a new template style or upload images back to the root directory. I have not disabled any products or plugins I've installed, but I have disabled the hooks. The config.php database looks O'k. from here:

SUGGESTIONS ANYONE ?

PS. and how do I get my Quick Links back on the member navbar ?

You have got so much going on there, I wouldn't know where to start except with the least amount of stuff to be bothered with. Try this and see what is still broken:

Create a new style with no parent:

• Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Add New Style
• Parent Style: No Parent Style
• Title: Default vBulletin
• Allow User Selection: Yes
• Save

Then browse the site using that totally default vbulletin style - do you still have the same problem?

If it is still happening - Try disabling your modifications/plugins and see if you still have this problem.
Note: To temporarily disable the plugin system, edit config.php and add this line right under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
