Wow... that's not good. We did indeed see some similarly wrong postings in the test migration we did a few weeks back. At that point we didn't see many recent threads being impacted. But I pinged vBulletin support anyway. Because there's not only the wrong position, but also my email being reported as the post's IP address (which you can't see, I think).

May I ask you to leave the thing as it is for now, until support had a chance to look into this? Thanks!

I'd say that is something to do with your post being from the mailing list and the date / sort order applied to the migration logic probably putting mailing list items ahead of normal posts if they have the same date.I don't think it will be a show stopper.

I also believe it has something to do with the mailing list integration. But fortunately it's not a problem with all of them, as I've probably done 99% of my postings using the mailing list...

I have been using via Mobile but also via PC and have noted a wee display issue when using via Mobile..

Screenshot below

Almost impossible to see.



This is actually a PC screenshot having re-sized my browser to mimic an iPhone 6 but it is as shown on my real phone.

Until you mentioned I hadn't even noticed it was there. Was it easier to see just after the migration?

Yes. If you scroll to bottom on your phone and change the style from ---Logi to Default vB5 Style it looks a lot better (on Mobile only).

It does 👍. Can you still access user settings for notification etc? All I see is a user profile.

Edit Never mind I found it

What exactly does look better (besides the button, which I have to figure out somehow...)?

One thing I noticed, the email notification to a subscribed thread new post does not contain a hyperlink, just the url as text. Is it just my mail client?

What mail client are you using? I'm seeing the same in Thunderbird. But support considers it working, as their Outlook would render the link. And Outlook is the Gold Standard when it comes to mail agent, isn't it?...

FWIW: Apple's mail client would render the link, too. But it would also try to call any number longer than six digits.

Thunderbird. My only basis is that it was working in the old forum.

I just checked my android client - BlueMail and it is not hyperlinked as well.

My current work around isn't bad, I get an email, then go to "today's post" and hit the ffwd icon next to the post.

On a mobile using Default vB 5 it is really only the button and a top bar that are noticably different (visible) to the --Logi style. The width issue on PC was never an issue on mobile.

I'm on a PC at present but I will edit this post from mobile with a screenshot shortly.

I did a bit of a search and found a comment from Mozilla support that the sender is nor properly formatting the link, and advised to view the source of the mail. Here is a clip of the mail:

It seems to me that the link formatting is not different than any other text

Maybe it requires the body to be MIME-encoded as HTML before it offers links as something that can be clicked - and/or need the full HTML experience (with proper HTML A tag.

Yeah, that's the line of argument I follow with their support. But I'm not too optimistic about it. It's stupid they would send as HTML when they actually don't use any formatting at all. If you set the viewing option in Thunderbird to render plain text instead of HTML, you'd get the links...

I know it is a pain but if you hit "Forward" in your email client does it then work i.e. are the links workable before you send anything?
I think there is an RFC about HTML email construction but I would have to look.

GMail also does not show hyperlinks but Mail in Windows 10 does. The link only works correctly if "Display mode" in Account settings is "Posts". If it is set to "Latest Activity" it goes to the last page in the thread which contains the earliest posts.
