I'm thinking about replacing the current HighSlide (http://www.highslide.com/) library to show images with FancyBox (http://fancyapps.com/fancybox/3/). Looks like HighSlide is abandoned, so there will be no touch screen "swipe" support. Also, the HS navigation is atrocious.

There is a plugin, but it's written for the old MyBB version. Let's see if I can do anything to make it work...

The forum software has been upgraded to the latest version. As always, please let me know if anything is broken.

The latest version did not fix the most annoying bugs 😕

Ok, more weirdness and strange goings on

1st up - I saved a very long email as 'draft' but when I tried to access the 'drafts' folder I just get a  blank white screen

2nd strange thing - decided to test the 'save a draft' feature (just to prove point 1) and got the message below that I've never encountered before (and when I did wait the pre-ordained period the first problem was still present)

   

Baffled and puzzled in equal measure

WSOD - White Screen Of Death ... 😟

Even more weird ...

Testing it now...

Hmm ... it worked for me. I save a huge text as a draft, and then called it back. No WSOD, no warnings. No that it proves anything, though. I restarted PHP and Apache just in case.

Hmm... but still broken for me. (NB. I'm only running MS Edge at the moment)

All associated to Private Messages

I can see all my Private Message folder in the Menu window
I can access my Inbox, Sent and Trash Can folders - all OK
I can edit (re-name) the folders, including Drafts and that displays in the left hand Menu window correctly
I can search Inbox, Sent and Trash Can folders

but

I cannot open the Drafts folder, all that happens is that I get the WSOD
If I try to search for a word or title in Private Messages that either doesn't exist or is only in the Drafts folder I get the WSOD

I can't reproduce the 'please wait' message so at least that issue seems to have gone away...




Heeeeeelp

Aha, so it's private messages related only... Checking further...

OK, found it and fixed it 😊

In short, it's a bug in the MyBB core files, which should check first if there is a recipient in the message, and only then try to count them.

Also, I fixed a similar bug in the SEO plugin, that creates "friendly URL's".

However, the Game section is still broken, and I see no errors in the logs.

Filed a bug with a fix 😉
