Quickreply not working

[hyper_ch]

So, the small quickreply button at the bottom of each post isn't working anymore (at least for me).

Anyone else experiencing this?

I call this a bug. I tested and enabling yahooapis fixes the issue, but I will leave it as untrusted.

I don't have any information at what yahooapis is , and the forum does not notify me of it, I do not agree with giving javascript rights to some script that comes from an unknown place just for something that's supposed to be part of this forum's functionality.

Please someone fix this.

Also using NoScript and it's the yahooapis stuff. But I still wonder as to why this function does not work if an outside thing is blocked?

"outside thing"? Yahooapis is hosted by Yahoo, not UF. In the future, it may be hosted locally, but for now, it is remote.

That's what I meant ;)

Wow, I knew vBulletin would eventually screw up since it is proprietary and all, I just didn't think that was going to happen so soon!, I am glad the only vB forum I administrate took the decision to stay on 3.5.0, if the layout changes in 3.7.0 weren't terrible this whole idea of making the functionality depend on an external site really is a terrible design flaw in vBulletin. The good news about this is that this will let FOSS forum software solutions more costumers.

It is interesting to see vB as a case of a product reaching critical mass feature mass and eventually destroy itself, hopefully 3.5 can last a couple of years more in my forums.

It doesn't depend on an external site. Yahoo! offers hosting for their APIs, but users of those APIs are under no obligation to take them up on that. In other words, one can decline their offer and choose to host the YUI files on their own servers.

It would be nice if people could look into the matter a bit more deeply and thoughtfully before making inflammatory statements like that.

But it's still Open Source ;)

Actually, this version has more security, more options, handles the high server loads, and fixes problems we had earlier. If it weren't for the need to rebuild the theme from scratch, and the slowness to do the record number of people online at times, it would be easily seen as a vaste improvement.
