vBulletin Code (for those who can't format without the buttons)

[Drew Wilson]

I've noticed that the buttons have become all white - and judging by the posts cropping up today, other's are seeing it to.

Luckily, I've spent my time on the forums memorizing the BB code rather than using the formatting buttons, so here's the code I personally know (remove the spacing within the square brackets to make it work)(Alternate commands will spit the required code out, you can highlight the text and hit the alternative button to make the code automatically wrap around the text you want formatted. Unfortinately, I haven't figured all of them out, but I do know a few)(code is NOT case sensitive here, so it doesn't matter if the code is upper or lower case):

(quoting others should work through the "reply with quote" button at the corner of posts - those buttons are not whited out still. If you want to do it the fancy way and quote multiple people, you can utilize notepad and the back button to get the code you want which is how I always did it if I felt like it)

This should be sufficient, but if anyone want's to add more to this (especially speed keys that makes like substantially easier for formatting quickly!), please feel free. :smile:

Also, smilies column still works. As the smilies are always changing anyway, I don't really see much of a pointin including them in this.

Pretty cool Drew! Especially the Alternates. Here's the list of all the bb code you can use on ZP

As for all the missing icons, that is one of two things. Either the software is looking for the images where they are not, or the images have been renamed. Both of these have happened to me in upgrades in the past. The easiest remedy, Jorge, is to put the images where the software wants to find them, named what it wants them named.
Otherwise you'll have to modify each page calling them to correct the path. But unless you have customized the images or the pages calling them before, this shouldn't happen.

Again, I recommend unzipping your vb package locally and upload all the files again, folder by folder, overwriting the ones on your host. This is not a reinstall & it won't affect the db.
