• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Firefox: All my submissions are deemed "too short"

Weird thing happening to me lately that seems to affect Firefox (WIN) only. Any post I try to make now says: The following errors occured with your submission: 1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 20 characters.

This is an invalid message, as it occurs on any submission, not just those that are to short. I can post fine from IE7, but I just feel so degraded from being forced to use IE for anything. :o

Has there been some change to the vBulletin code base or configs recently? Anybody else experiencing this?
 
I never trusted Firefox after the claims were made of it being spyware. If that is true or not - I don't know. The version I used started out running quick as a bunny, but got progressively slower and slower. Never was able to fix it. It always acted a bit buggy to me, so I went back to IE7. Did your Firefox file get corrupted? Any other compliants like yours found online?

BTW-I'm using Windows Internet Explorer 8 that had been recently released. On my 32 bit O/S, it runs three times faster than IE7 ever did. Nice! But, on my bro's 64 bit O/S, it runs slow and choppy.
 
Well, Firefox registers javascript errors just loading the home page:

javascript_err_homepage.png


And more just loading this thread. (Errors cleared before this):
javascript_load_thread_err.png


More errors when I just mouse over the formatting buttons in the wysiwyg editor:

javascript_wysiwyg_err.png


Clear the errors and try to send a 20 character plus message results in this:
javascript_submit_err.png


At least I'm not crazy. There are problems in the javascript, at least with Firefox 3.0.10. What version are you using, Jim?

EDIT: The "YAHOO is undefined" is pretty funny in the context of this forum. :)

Rob, those claims were made by people who were infected via Java from some security exploit, it would be hard for Firefox to be spyware with out a real huge backlash from Tech hobbyists and professionals as Firefox's source code is open to the public.

Darren by chance do you have NoScript and forgot to whitelist stormtrack? I know this happens to me some times on websites. (what no strike out BB code?) never mind just tested it my self and I could still post.
Did you try clearing your cache?

Firefox being spyware? Whoever claimed that had no clue what they were talking about. THat or they were just spreading FUD.

FF 3 is many times faster than IE 7 or IE 8 on loading the same pages. Chrome and Safari are even faster with the newest version of Webkit.
 
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm guessing it is some sort of conflict with a Firefox extension that I have installed (I have several) so I will try to uninstall them one by one and see if the problem goes away.
