Peter You were missing html code in the header, the <head> and <html> tags were missing. It should work now.

I Flame Edsel Our board is having the same problem as the starter of the other thread. Whenever we click a sub-forum it just refreshes the main page and whenever I click private messages it redirects me to www.excoboard.com.

Thanks in advance,

Peter It's a problem with the specific template you're using. While I fix the template I've replaced your templates with another, so things may look a bit different for a little while.
January 25th, 2010 01:18 PM
Peter You are now back to your old template, let me know if you have any problems.

dee 10-04 Hi, it looks like we are facing the same issues on our board, excoboard.com/10-04.
I also am redirected when attempting to log into control panel.

Cheers,
Dee

Stryder On server 3 we (at http://s3.excoboard.com/WINDJAMMERS_COVE) get redirected now when using the "Back to top" feature.

Been using this script - number 13 from "Webmaster resources for use on Excoboard".

I suppose that's one that will need to be rewritten. Unless someone here knows of a quick fix?

But overall, the upgrade with the new URL seems to have gone very smoothly. :)

Peter dee 10-04, your board should be ok now.

Stryder, you could just add the following in the thread template:
<span class="NormalText"><br><a href="#top" target="_self">Back to top</a></span>
It should be directly after:
<b>{posts.username}</b></span>

You can delete the script.

Stryder Thanks, Peter!

Stryder Did this and the link displays properly under the user's name but it still redirects to Excoboard home page.

Same problem with the index 'Back To Top' button. The current coding on that section of index template is:

<br>
<table width="95%" border="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td>
<a href="index.php?boardid={boardid}&action=logout"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23763.gif"></a></span><span class="SmallText"><a href="index.php?boardid={boardid}&action=mark"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23762.gif"></a><a href="#top"target=><span class="SmallText"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23764.gif"></a></span><td align="right"><b><span class="NormalText">Time Zone: {zone}</span></b></td>
</tr>
</table> </table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>



"Logout" and "Mark All Forums As Read" oddly works just fine. Only "Back To Top" redirects.

Im going to take a shot in the dark and say it isn't working because you are missing a target.
January 26th, 2010 02:03 PM
Peter Ok, let's try again:

In the forum template replace:
<a href="#top" target=>
with
<a href="../{shorturl}/{forumid}#top" target="_self">

In the thread template replace
<span class="NormalText"><br><a href="#top" target="_self">Back to top</a></span>
with
<span class="NormalText"><br><a href="../{shorturl}/{forumid}/{threadid}#top" target="_self">Back to top</a></span>
January 26th, 2010 02:37 PM
Stryder YESSS! That's the fix for both the Forum and Thread templates, Peter. Thanks!

Now I only need to fix the Index template where it currently reads:


<a href="index.php?boardid={boardid}&action=logout"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23763.gif"></a></span><span class="SmallText"><a href="index.php?boardid={boardid}&action=mark"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23762.gif"></a><a href="#top"target=><span class="SmallText"><img src="http://s3.excoboard.com/forums/3871/user/23755/23764.gif"></a></span><td align="right"><b><span class="NormalText">Time Zone: {zone}</span></b></td>

and only the "Back To Top" button redirects to Excoboard homepage.

Trapshooter Hi all!

I am having trouble on my Crafting With Friends board. We are using an XAT chat box and when I click on "sign in", I get redirected to the Exco homepage.

http://s3.excoboard.com/CraftingWithFriends

I also have three images ABOVE the chat box that aren't supposed to be there.....at least I don't recall putting them there. The three images BELOW the chat box are fine & exactly where they are supposed to be. I've searched my custom templates but am unable to find the three missing images to delete them?

Thanks!

Trapshooter Okay disregard my previous post! My HERO fixed it for me!!!!! :D
January 26th, 2010 02:47 PM
Peter Stryder, replace
<a href="#top"target=>
with
<a href="../{shorturl}#top" target="_self">
January 26th, 2010 02:50 PM
Stryder That's it! Thanks for all your help, Peter.

You ARE da man! :cool:
