Yes.
I also get that when i click on the User CP button, but i can get to my CP by going into my subscribed threads first then clicking the various options.
 
Yes, I get that message whenever I try to send, in addition to getting it whenever I want to view my PMs. It takes about 20 refreshes just to get into my PM page.
 
I have it. Seems to be a hosting issue. I sent a copy of the error to Derek, and left a message on his phone.


Olds, send me a PM. Maybe it will clear the jam 😀

Thank you. While we're at it, could you either tell me how you do inline graphics or link me to a page that does this? Also, any page with documentation about how to use vBulletin, more specifically probably VB here at Anandtech. Thanks again.

In the UserCP choose the Standard Editor. Then you get an "insert Image" icon in the reply box - unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

For the rest I believe the FAQ covers most of it.

Where in UserCP do I choose the Standard Editor? Is it in a subroutine? It's not on that page.

Um, could you link me with the FAQ? Thanks.

The FAQ is in the top tool bar right next to the UserCP.

To get the Standard Editor go to:

UserCP
Edit Options
Miscellaneous Options
Message Editor Interface
In the drop down box, choose Standard Editor

I had Enhanced Editor - Full WYSIWYG

I reasoned that it would have more than the Standard Editor. Just changed it to Standard Editor.

For some darned reason here I am with presumably the "Standard Editor" and I'm unable to bold text. I select text, mouse click the bold B symbol that always worked in the past and NOTHING happens. My CAPSLOCK key still works fine! A bit of experimenting reveals that I can't add smilies or access anything outside the edit box itself. I'm typing in my smilie here: 😕 Should I go back to the WYSIWYG editor? I can always type in the img tags...

I just switched to the Standard Editor from the Enhanced to test this out.
Yep, highlighting selected text & clicking on the bold button adds the coding.


:hmm:
Clicking on a smiley adds that too.


Let's try in image.
Yep, that works OK too. Here's what my Standard Editor looks like:
