[HELP] Quick reply doesnt work

[theMACdaddy]

Okay so I had just finished installing all my modifications on my forum, and when i was going to test Live Topic, i found that quick reply does not work.

Any time, no matter what setting quick reply is on (click required/not required) after i press submit it brings me to a page that says the message I have entered is too short and to lengthen my post to x amount of characters, even though it well surpasses that.

Normal replying works fine. And I am pretty sure this is a style problem. Switching to my default style quick reply works just fine. I should also note that my Co-Admin can use quick reply just fine, but me nor anyone else can use this.

Please help me since this is a pretty big part of posting, and I really need a fix short of totally wiping all of my modifications or styles. PM me if you need more information on the topic but please help asap. Thanks.

Disable all modifications by going to:
includes/config.php
and putting this directly under <?php

PHP Code:

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); 


If it works now - it's a modification problem. Disable them all and enable one-by-one until the error recreates.

Don't Know about other problems

For this problem
you have to set the no of words required for posting a reply for doing this
go to

Admincp > vBulletin Options > Message Posting and Editing Options
Set your Permissions and Options from there.

if it is caused by your Mods Installations
Try to disable all mods from config file and try to see if it works for you.

yeah i changed the minimum number of characters from 5 to 1, and it still doesnt work.

The weird thing is that with other styles with the exact same modifications installed it worked fine... the only things that are affecting the PostBit templates are Live Topic and Disemvoweler as far as I know

[James Birkett]

The issue is a style problem then. Run it through a validator to check the mark-up.

Have you tried this in multiple browsers? Same problem?

Your other styles work with the modifications running? Then it's a problem in your style/templates. Go to Edit them, hit View History, and compare them with the default and see what you may be missing. I'd start with headinclude.

[theMACdaddy]

I dont know what to look for, and i cannot view the history.

It may be worth noting that my Co-Admin which Quick Reply works for is running Google Chrome, while me and the other person testing had been running Firefox 3.5

[James Birkett]

Hmm. If Chrome runs it okay but Firefox doesn't, maybe chrome is fixing the error(s) automatically and parsing it as normal - but firefox isn't.

Download the Web Developer Toolbar Add-on for firefox, and check your site with that.
(or give me the URL & a test account)

If you can't see View History, then the template wasn't modified. Since you problem is with a modified template, then you need to be looking in the modified templates for the problem.

You may want to check your error_logs. If you don't know where they are, ask your host.
