    Note that all my thanks etc after I post are shown as 0. I expect Putin is deleting my dbase records. I ain't that bothered though, don't waste a lot of time on it.

      You should now be able to see thanks/likes in your profiles

      For those who are interested: the problem was a SQL query in the Thanks/Likes plugin that assumed a certain field was null if it was "empty". This may have been a valid assumption for some earlier version of vBulletin 5, but for the version we're on, that field will instead have the empty string if it's "empty". The end result was that the query returned no results, ever

        Bloody SQL! Never trust it.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

            Yesterday one of my post (link below) was moved to IR35 section by the Mods. But since then it gets "invalid url" error.

              I get that with a number of different threads. Anything that's more than a few pages long.

                Should now be OK at https://forums.contractoruk.com/ir35...esty-does.html

                This is a quite bad problem with moving stuff. Basically, vBulletin attempts to invalidate some of its internally-cached data, but its method for doing this involves building an array containing a reference to every single post in the subforums involved. This might be all well and good on a smaller forum, but on CUK there are now so many posts that it just ends up consuming all the memory allocated to the PHP script and crashing, so it never gets to my code that fixes up the URLs to conform with the CUK URL scheme.

                I've tested this on a development server with four times as much memory allocated as the production server, and it still doesn't get even a quarter of the way through before crashing, so just bumping up the PHP memory_limit configuration isn't going to fix it.

                I'm working on a proper fix for this, but it's a particularly complex problem for various reasons. But at least my existing tool for fixing things up after the fact works with moved threads (posts extracted into a separate thread are a different thing again).

                  Yes, there's something going on with the way it sets the most recent post datetime for a thread. I strongly suspect this is also an internal cache invalidation issue; it's on the list

                    My profile is working now. Thanks Fizzy Knickers.

                    Updateipoo: Ah. Today only if I click refresh umpteen times

                    Updateipoo2: Ugh. Nope, back to not working at all. Seems like a cache problem but clearing it didn't help.

                    Updateipoo3: Lots of refreshes work again.

                      I don't remember this one being picked up.

                      Nested quotes don't seem to work (at least not in preview). The first quote is displayed and anything nested under it is ignored. Quotes are displayed in preview if you show each one separately.
