I Don't have a New Thread button..

[Ryan2]

To create this threadm i had to subscribe to it and push "new thread" on the My GTPlanet screen....

An example: Isn't the button supposed to be next to the Post Reply button?

 

[Saleen Man]

Yes it is supposed to be there. Weird.........

How did you post this thread, then? Does the link still work? :reallyodd

Try dumping your cache and/or restarting your PC.

He said how he posted it in his first post.........

 

[risingson77]

Oh.


:tiny:

Darn these skim-reading ways of mine to H-E-double hockey sticks.

Ummm...whoa! Has it always been like this or did it just start?

 

[Ryan2]

Um...I just noticed it last week.

 

[Deathhawk]

haha. Good luck figuring this one out... Did you try to log out and then back in? And which forum where you in? Was it the GTP Voting forum?

 

[Ryan2]

No, it's in all forums.

 

[Jordan]

Can you click in the general area of where the "new thread" button used to be?

 

[Ryan2]

Yes I can, but nothing happens.

 

[Jordan]

What do you see when you click here?

Well, there's no red X in his screen shot, so I don't think the image is even being linked to by the page.

Is there a way to configure a user to not have those kinds of abilities?

Nope. If they aren't allowed to start new threads, then they will receive this message after they click the "new thread" button. But, that's not the case here.

Jordan: Have you checked the vBulletin forums to see if anyone else has reported this?

Bimmerkid44: Right click on the page and "View Source". Save the file to your desktop and attach it to a new post in this thread.

Yep, but I couldn't find anything. I will post a message if we can't figure it out.

This source code should give us a better idea about what's going on...

.txt files are valid, but you must have saved it as HTML. Follow these instructions:

1. Click View > Source, and Notepad should open up.
2. Click File > Save As... and in the list that says "Save as type:", select "Text Documents (*.txt)". Then save that file on your computer and try to attach it again.

It's odd that vB doesn't do that sort of thing. I always figured that if you didn't want a user to do something, you should test to see if the logged-in-user was not that one, and only allow the function if the user criteria were met. Kind of like in a secure filesystem.

I think they do it to streamline showthread.php and to reduce the number of queries on the page (since it will be one of the most-displayed pages in the forums). This way, it only puts extra work on the database if you actually try to reply/make a new thread and aren't able to.
