The forum has been upgraded to vBulletin 4.2.2

[Richard Amiel McGough]

Hey there folks!

My Saturday project was to upgrade the forum software to the latest and greatest, vBulletin 4.2.2

This upgrade fixed a big pile of bugs, listed below (from the vBulletin site (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-announcements/vbulletin-announcements_aa/4000121-vbulletin-4-2-2-full-has-been-released)).

I'm writing this post using IE 11. I'm testing this browser because the editor was pretty buggy before the upgrade.

The first thing I note is that the spell-checker works really well, and even autocorrects as I type. E.g. if I type "tpye" it autocorrects it to "type". Very nice.

But now for the real test: Copy/Paste! Here is a table from my gematria database, copied and pasted:



Original Text



Hebrew

Value



בראשית

913 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=913)



ברא

203 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=203)



אלהים

86 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=86)



את

401 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=401)



השמים

395 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=395)



ואת

407 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=407)



הארץ

296 (http://biblewheel.com/GR/GR_Database.php?Gem_Num=296)




Yep, works fine.

And there was a very stupid problem with the enter key not working in certain versions of IE if you were using the wysiwyg editor. That's fixed now too.

Please let me know if you encounter any anomalies after the upgrade.

Shine on!

Richard, could you give an update on your personal status..... I dont want to misunderstand you nor your aim and intent.

I think from reading some of your posts way back when... that you ewere a Christian and thought you found a Bible Code, and then when you discovered the Bible Code was errant you necame a non Christian, and debinked not just your code but also Christianity.

So not wanting to misinterpret your new words or posts, could you explain your motivations herein now, so I and maybe others might be better informed.... on your new status, not just the forum status.

Thanks so much for the venue.

Hi David,

I started a new thread to answer your questions. It's called My Current Status and Motivation - Ask Me Anything (https://www.biblewheel.com/forum/showthread.php?6434-My-Current-Status-and-Motivation-Ask-Me-Anything).

See ya there!

Two weeks on Im having problems with the forum. Its being very slow, all other sites are ok?
I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

What exactly are the symptoms. Are some things slower than others? What browser are you using? What operating system?

When I have tried to log in several times, a 'box' with numbers and letters and squiggled lines in it would show up, as if to see that I was 'human'.

Everything has been fine for the last couple of days.

Thanks for the info Les. This is the first I have heard of that problem. I will keep an eye out for it. There's still a fair amount of work to do to ensure that everything is working correctly since the crash.
