Moderator Snakebite68 Posted October 20, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 20, 2021 Well, whatever the problem is, we need a way to contact the Admin that doesn't include posts and PMs, neither of which work when this happens..! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator drewpy Posted October 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 21, 2021 I can contact Alex, but from my end it was working so hard to tell him what was wrong. I'm on facebook so peeps can message me from the YOC page there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 22, 2021 The Facebook page isn't really reliable for fault reporting. I wasn't the only person that posted there that the forums were acting up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 As the forum is working now, why don't you PM Alex and ask for a solution. He has emailed me in the past, but I'll leave it to him to pass out his address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted October 23, 2021 It's a wierd bug... Not something I'd generally expect from Invision. The problem is that the 'Contact Us' link takes you to a board based emailing system, which is of course also affected by the bug, so is rendered useless. There are a couple of options... 1/ When sending PMs, the message field is REQUIRED to have text in it (I'm moderately sure that when this bug appears, you can still type in the 'title field'). If the requirement for for text in the message field was removed, it would be possible to send a PM with only a title (thus still getting a 'IT DOESN'T WORK!' message through! 2/ Add a 'forums trouble' button in the 'Contact Us' window. That shouldn't be too hard to implement! So instead of sending a mail, it just sends an automated message to whoever stating that there are forum issues... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhat250 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Correct snakey" , you cant reply or message anyone on here ,[ when this glich happens] i posted on facebook,.. this FIELD REQUIRED ,happens quite a lot,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Snakebite68 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted December 16, 2021 So... We're back from ANOTHER attack of the 'FIELD REQUIRED' bug... Can we know what's causing this? Is it a bug in the Invision program, a host based problem or malicious intervention? If it's a bug in the forum software, we should be contacting Invision. If it's a host problem, what are they doing to stop it happening? If it's external intervention, is whatever we post on here and our data secure?
