About time, look at the bug list this one is listed

VBDev- I have inactivity set to 8 mins. It puts us inactive every 8mins... Even if you're posting. I've sent you the login details in PM. Refresh the page, and set a timer to 8 mins... somewhere near the end of that 8 mins... type something. when 8mins happens, it will make you inactive even though you just posted.

Sorry- didn't look in the bug list.. only in the forum topics.

Thanks!
Andrew

Haven't had the time to look at it yet sorry I'll have a look tomorrow.

[maidos]

seems that theres no way to fix it

I looked into your problem. I checked everything that I know of that can cause AJAX quick reply to fail on non-english characters, but I could find nothing wrong. AJAX quick reply simply does not work on your forum when those particular characters are present. I have disabled the problematic AJAX features for you to correct this:

Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Disable AJAX Features

There is nothing else I can do to fix it. Some AJAX features like quick reply are just problematic and don't always work under some conditions.

All the best,

I just notice its a bug... since it works perfectly well when i used my friends forum site using vb 3.7 beta 2

while i have vb.3.6.8 patch level 2

Once you post an announcement via command, how do you remove it so that there is no longer an announcement space/message?
