Very weird bug, and as far as I know, it's only happening on two threads; the Cyanide and Happiness thread, and the big WWE thread.

The only things these threads have in common are that I've made a lot of posts in them (around a few hundred or so; I've lost count). I've tried following the topics using the button at the top, but it doesn't work; it looks like it's gone through, but when I refresh the page, it's not actually gone through.

Ooh, I just remembered another bug that happens on these threads too. When I make a new post using the Quick Reply box, I just get the little loading squares in the top-right endlessly cycling around, but if I refresh the page, my new post is there.

Anyone else been suffering from these problems?

Bump. Got another thing to add to the bug...

post-151617-0-18052800-1332363940_thumb.

This page appears if I post using the full editor in the offending threads mentioned above. Is there any hope of a fix for this? It's only been happening since the last major IPB update, so I can only assume it's something to do with that; perhaps one of the coders could shed some light on the situation? :)

This is a major problem with big threads. Like WWE, The Thread Formerly Known As, Religion Thread, Battlefield 3 and the list goes on and on and on.

And that Database error, I am getting it a lot lately, when I post in one of these threads. :(

No one seems to care

Ahh, I'm glad it's not just me getting these problems then.

Neobond, we have been asking devs to fix the editor for a looooong time.

Even sent one a personal message, but no response. :(

Because you're asking the wrong person, I'm not a developer/coder! :p

Thread revival!

I don't know if anything's happened behind the scenes, but the problems have finally been fixed for me! :D

Potentially fixed yes, it's an issue that can happen if a spammer posts in the thread. I'm not 100% sure the notification issue related to it is resolved, but we can wait and see.

    • Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Microsoft adds reusable skills and finance data connectors to Copilot in Excel by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft is giving Copilot in Excel a collection of new features aimed squarely at finance teams. The update introduces reusable instructions for common tasks, connections to services such as FactSet and Morningstar, and a better way to review what Copilot intends to do before it starts changing a workbook. The most interesting addition is 'Skills' finally coming to Copilot in Excel. Skills let companies teach Copilot how to handle a recurring process, so employees do not need to write the same detailed prompt every month. Users can create skills that can specify the steps Copilot should follow, along with the required layout, formulas, and formatting. Microsoft says users can create their own skills by saving a SKILL.md file in OneDrive. The file is written using Markdown and tells Copilot when and how to perform the task. Once it is available, a user can select the skill in the Copilot pane or mention it in a prompt using the @ symbol. There is also a library of prebuilt finance skills for customers who do not want to create their own. Microsoft plans to let developers distribute additional skills through the Microsoft Marketplace and the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, with LSEG, Ramp, Rogo, samaya.ai, Velixo, and Vena among the first partners involved. The company says that it is also expanding the external data that Copilot can access from inside Excel. New connectors are being added for CB Insights, Daloopa, FactSet, Morningstar, PitchBook, and S&P Global data through technology developed by Kensho. There is a catch, however. Accessing these services may require a separate subscription from the relevant data provider, so a Microsoft 365 Copilot licence will not necessarily unlock all of them. FactSet is also only available in preview for now, with general availability planned for July. Microsoft is also trying to make Copilot’s workbook edits easier to inspect. Users can switch to a planning mode that shows which sheets, cell ranges, formulas, and assumptions Copilot intends to work with before it begins making changes. Once the work is complete, the Show Changes pane can distinguish edits made by Copilot from those made by human collaborators. The update continues Microsoft’s push to turn Excel Copilot from a chatbot into an agent that can carry out longer tasks. The company previously added an Agent Mode capable of planning and completing multi-step Excel work. Microsoft also recently acquired financial AI startup Fintool, another indication that finance is becoming a key target for its Excel AI strategy. Prebuilt skills, personalization, workbook rules, external connectors, planning mode, and Copilot attribution in Show Changes are generally available to Microsoft 365 Copilot customers using Excel on the web, Windows, and macOS. Custom skills are initially available to Microsoft 365 Insiders on Windows and Mac starting today. Microsoft plans to make them generally available across Windows, Mac, and the web over the next month. Partner-built skills are expected during the third quarter of the year. Availability may still differ depending on region and licensing.

      Exactly. They serve different (although related) purposes.
    • Microsoft Authenticator - Constant Login Approval Requests

      Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account.
