I was wondering why the WYSIWYG editor option is not available? (to my knowledge it's standard with Vbulletin) It is mentioned in the user CP but the only choices in the drop down menu are the basic editor and the simple editor. I really miss having the WYSIWYG option because I like seeing how my posts will look when they're posted. (it's a whole lot faster than having to click on preview every time I post)

We don't offer the WYSIWYG editor option here because it was slowing our servers down, and at peak traffic times here, the servers are slow enough already, so we didn't enable this option in the Control Panel.

That's what I figured the reason was. I just wanted to find out for sure. (I never realized features like the WYSIWYG editor and search option used a lot of server resources.)
It's too bad there isn't a paid subscription with some of those features enabled. I'd definitely pay for that.

That's something we could look into. The only paid subscription option that we have right now is for posters to be ad-free when they post here, but we could look into adding more options for a paid subscription. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's because the feature is off so Fan Forum can run faster.

Hi. I have a problem. I've registered as *Oksana* and supposedly my account is good to go. But when I log-in and want to reply to a topic, it states that I don't have permission either because the account's been blocked or hasn't been activated. Can anyone tell me the deal? Lol Thanks.

Yeah, that usually happens if you change your email after registering or when you first join a confirmation message is supposed to be sent to that email which needs to be clicked on to verify that the email is valid.

Anyway, your account has been moved into the Registered usergroup.

This is actually happening to me too. I'm only subscribed to boards but I changed my options so I would get daily emails about the posts and I never recieved any.

For some reason I can't post anymore...
When I try the quick reply and hit the button I get a text "The following errors occured" but I don't see the errors also when I just press the reply to thread my posts don't show up at all.
I could post fine a few hours ago but now I can't

And I know this sounds dumb because this post shows up but 90% of my messages get lost

Nele, it can happen that some posts show up later as Fan Forum runs on 2 servers (at least I believe so). From what I can see, I would say all of them showed up already, is that right?

If you press 'Okay' then submit the post again, it should be there.
