Just seeing if this is a true glitch, or just me. :rolleyes:

Ah ha!! Found what the issue is. It's using //forums//forums//forums//forums/images/smilies - it adds the /forums itself! :eek:

however, it seems if the word forum is already in the address, it doesn't add it, viz:

http://forum.bavarianspeed.com/forums/images/smilies/smilies1/iamwithstupid.gif

Weird. why does this work then?? :confused:

http://forum.bavarianspeed.com/forums/images/smilies/smilies1/iamwithstupid.gif

OK, that must be something to do with how that site handles addressing. Glitch in XPC is still there. :eek:

LOL - it's adding a new "forums" every time I edit! :lol:

It does? --GohanSSJ

Hmm doesn't seem to add 1 when i edit your post...

*edit by Mntsnow Should be working now Mick....WeeMan with VbPortal came over and played with a bit of code but things seem to be working as they should now.....

EDIT SO YOU DONT HAVE TO READ THE WHOLE THREAD....

The Problem is the Default theme which is the XP Theme has a custom replacement call to auto rewrite /image /smilies to /forums/images /smilies (I added the spaces so you can see what I mean)

The Emerge theme works as it should as it doesnt use the "rewrite" replacement call.... If that call is removed from the default theme all the stuff gets broken....

[Mntsnow]

Works just fine for me...So it has to be a setting your using

http:// users. bigpond. net. au/wishart/images/smilies/bashh.gif I put some spaces in so it wouldnt parse so you can see what I typed in

and now I'm going to use the code

[img]http://users.bigpond.net.au/wishart/images/smilies/bashh.gif

[Mntsnow]

Nothing I have in my coding will automatically add stuff in let alone the double //forums so it's got to be something with your setup...

[mickwish]

Weird indeed. :confused:

www.somewhere.com/images/smilies <---- that one added from home set up

/images/smilies

[mickwish]

just disabled vBcode in user cp.. see if it does anything...

Nope still does it.

Ha! Proof!! Thanks harder!! :D

It ain't just me!! :D

So, Snowman, what do ya think of them apples!! :D

[mickwish]

Oh boy, am I confused. :eek:

Am I seeing things? Does anyone else see the /forums it adds before /images/smilies?

Or Is It Just Me? :o

[sharder8]

It's just you Mick! :p

You're the only one seeing it! :rolleyes:

Harder

[mickwish]

Ok, what if I type it like / /forums//forums/images/smilies?

Still does it!! :eek:

Ok, you rat, take this: / images/ smilies

Hah, I beat it!

Oh, the small mercies we are thankful for! :p

[mickwish]

Are you having me on, Harder? :eek:

Paranoia is beginning to settle over me like a cloak. Beleive no-one, suspicion everyone... :p

/images//smilies

Hah, beat it again. Beginning to get some self-respect back here. :rolleyes:

[mickwish]

Ok, trying again for yet a different PC. :rolleyes:

/images/smilies

[Win2Kuser]

hmm, not really sure what I'm doing here, but lets try...


//forums/images/smilies

[mickwish]

Thanks w2K. I can see you edited your post, as you have two //forums before / images / smilies (see? I can beat it now! :D ).

And I could see that even though I wasn't even logged in. :rolleyes:

edit: Oh, I think I see something: I PMed w2k here at XPC to add / images/ smilies, but without the spaces. What he would have seen in his pm was this: /images/smilies so that is what he typed.

Wheels within wheels... :p

[Win2Kuser]

So if I put any text in with forward slashes, it will add //forums/ automatically ?

Test:

http://freespace.virgin.net/m.agar/index.htm

[Win2Kuser]

Well the above worked, must only do it with / images / something

test2

/images/test2

[Win2Kuser]

Nah, wrong again, only works with / images / smilies /

Test 3

/images/smilies/

[mickwish]

See? Got you wondering now too, haven'tI? :p

I ain't crazy, Harder, so there! :D

I'd put a crazy smilie in there, only it won't work from my webspace. :p

[Win2Kuser]

Well, it seems the only way round this would be to rename your images folder to something like pictures :)

Does seem strange though...

[mickwish]

Yeah, its a pain, because I have a whole formatted page just for smilie img tag pics.. :(

Will have to recode the lot by the looks. :mad:

Ah, well, that's the Weird Wide Web for ya. :p

//forums/images/smilies - just checking from a wireless connection. :rolleyes:

images/smilies - and again from my DMZ

[GohanSSJ]

Alright... very interesting...

www.mntsnow.com/images/smilies/test.gif

I typed www. mntsnow .com /images /smilies /test.gif (of course without the spaces and works just fine it DOES NOT AUTO ADD the /Forums

And you can see that it did NOT auto add the /forums to the url that Gohan posted to mick's hammer smashing image and the other link was WRITTEN as /forums/

[Mntsnow]

All I can say Mick is quit typing in //forums cause the forum software does not auto add that in! :rolleyes:

[mickwish]

Well, all I can say is that both Gohan's and your posts how up with //forums in them. And you know I can't edit your posts. :rolleyes:


edit: still adds extra //forums in a code statement too. :eek:

[mickwish]

Just tried another couple of vBulletin forums. They don't do this. They never have. It's only XPC. How weird is that? :eek:

Something sppooky going on here <insert spooky smilie> :p

[Mntsnow]

Hmmmm....

Something in the XP theme....

I was using Emerge and thought you were too..... but now I see what your saying....It's something in the XP/Default theme.... Since I didnt write that theme I'm posting over at the site that did and see what they have to say about it....

[Mntsnow]

Think I have it fixed now... I found in the XP theme where the guy that wrote it had a CUSTOM replacement template that said anywhere it saw /images/smilies to REWRITE it /forums/images/smilies .... I removed that call...

[Mntsnow]

If i'm not mistaken it only messes up with a link where there is no "/forum" part in it.

EDIT: See you just posted that.. oh man i'm getting old and slow... wait... just slow. :D
