Forum Bugs

[stealthee]

I know everything is less than a day old but I figured if we could post up any bugs that it will help Alan fix them when he can.

The only bugs I have noticed so far is half a page of empty space at the bottom of threads, and the other is in the avatar area for join date the year is dropping to the next line.

If I see any more I will report them. If you guys see any report them here to keep Alan from getting bombed with PM's about them.

[DocWalt]

Wrong sub-forum :p

[stealthee]

WTF? I couldn't find a proper sub forum to put it in unless I am blind.

[DocWalt]

We've been using the suggestions on, or in chatter. this is the car related section ;)

I'm going to be a pain until there's someone that can just move misplaced threads, lol

[stealthee]

Well suggestions just didn't seem like the right place, nor did the chatter section. I guess if Alan wants it moved he can do that. Its of no issue to me where its located, just so people find it and keep everything in one spot.

[akotten]

Is the paid members area still open to all?

[stealthee]

I don't know since I am paid already. :p

[11secondFWD]

I didnt notice any blank space below threads, but I know I got a ton of emails saying I am subscribed to every thread I post in, which shows every post made. Is it on auto subscription or something? Is there a way to turn it off?

[akotten]

Precisely my problem lol

[DocWalt]

settings-> general settings

[stealthee]

Yeah I turned off email notifications before I even made my first post. Its under the settings feature.

[DocWalt]

There's a weird colon in our user info on the left. Plus, there's tons of dead space after our posts and before our sigs.

[stealthee]

Whats weird is the join date is right on your avatar area, but not on mine. I'm not noticing a colon in the user area, unless I am blind. :p

[DocWalt]

Yeah, my whole user area is skewed because of the arcade stuff. There's definitely a colon chilling under your avatar, lol

[vr3.9]

Not really a bug, but it bugs me. Maybe it's because I spent all day with my eyes full of sweat, or maybe it's because I'm old and blind. But white background/black text is just so much easier than the reverse. Just my opinion. All though now I feel bad. My first post on the new forum and I'm gripping.

[DocWalt]

Change your forum style, vr3.9. All the way in the lower left, you can change it to the "light" style.

[stealthee]

Yeah its easy to change, though in my opinion, I love the dark back ground. So much easier to use.

And Kenny I think you're nuts. I see no colon under my avatar. :p

[Fletch]

WooHoo, Stealthee is here. Now I can relax even more.

Are we going to start getting our posts migrated over to a sub forum here? I am getting my very few helpful posts and post them here, but where would be the best?

[OhioSpyderman]

What browser are you using Brian? , because I see "colons" after everyone's Avatar....

Bob.

[vr3.9]

Change your forum style, vr3.9. All the way in the lower left, you can change it to the "light" style.

Thanks Doc.. I can see, I can see

[DocWalt]

I'm using Firefox, and there's definitely colons, Brian. I think you're just blind :p It's probably just stupid browser shens.

[stealthee]

I'm using IE. No colons.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff92/stealthee3k/3sgto.jpg

[OhioSpyderman]

Firefox AND colons here...

Bob.

[akotten]

Chrome - no "colons" here :)

[Alan92RTTT]

moved to suggestions.

The colon is on the arcade scroller line
That line is messing up the join date row.

[DocWalt]

The Paid area can be read and posted in by everyone, leading to some awkward posting...

[Alan92RTTT]

Intentional for now.

[DocWalt]

then I shall remove my NWS posting then... lol

edit: uh. I can't just delete the whole thread :(

[Alan92RTTT]

paid it private now.


if you delete the 1st post that will remove the thread.

[DocWalt]

It won't let me delete it, maybe because I was thanked for it.

edit: I can delete this post. The other one just didn't have the button. meh.

[RealMcCoy]

I noticed when I tried to refresh the verification image when I was signing up, it wouldn't reload. But then when I was able to decipher the original, it kicked it back as invalid, and I had to start over.

[DocWalt]

The suggestion box is above the tech section. Why?

edit: no it isn't...

[mbentley]

There's a weird colon in our user info on the left. Plus, there's tons of dead space after our posts and before our sigs.

+1 to being a ton of dead space in the column below the post content or below the member stats on the left, depending on your point of view. i'm using firefox 3.5.11.

[DocWalt]

You can't delete threads once somebody replies to them. I'm not sure if that's intentional.

[stealthee]

OK, I think I figured out the dead space issue after a post. It appears that we have a "text field" the height of the avatar area. No matter now little text you type the field is that height. Because of thise there is a large gap after a post and before a sig.

[DocWalt]

Weird. It only does it when the sig is there. No big gap on a sig-less post.

[stealthee]

Exactly why I said its a text field. If you have the dark background you can actually see the field.

Should be fixed in light and dark now. Thanks for the help.

That was annoying the shit out of me.

[DocWalt]

Confirmed as fixed. Nice :)

[OhioSpyderman]

For some reason Alan, I cannot accept a friendship request.....

Bob. :)

[green-lantern]

For some reason I can’t stay in light mode here at work. Every time I change it to the light screen it goes back to dark as soon as I navigate away from the page.

[OhioSpyderman]

Hrmmm...I just noticed that Internet Exploder works right in the way it sends you to the proper page when you get an email alert....at home, Firefox ALWAYS takes you to the first page....

Bob.

[stealthee]

Bob are you clicking on the name, then clicking on accept request?

[OhioSpyderman]

Bob are you clicking on the name, then clicking on accept request?

Damnit, I need instructions with this site.....

Bob. ;)

(Thanks Brian :) )

[Alan92RTTT]

Mine was stuck like that.
logout and clear your cookies and it should start working right.

[stealthee]

Yeah I had to do that on another forum that had a few skins. It was stuck so I had to clear cookies to fix it.

[RealMcCoy]

I've noticed that the secondary menu bar that has new posts, PMs, ect, disappears in any search result page.

[green-lantern]

I'm noticing threads aren’t showing views but they will show responses.

[OhioSpyderman]

TIME WARP!!!!!!!!!!!

Most users ever online was 346, 12-31-1969 at 04:00 PM.

Haha. I was just about to post that

Edit: Damn. You posted 30 mins before i did lol

[OhioSpyderman]

Maybe I shouldn't complain, THAT would make me 12 again :)

Bob.

[stealthee]

I'm thinking thats just an overall forum issue. I have noticed that that happens on every forum I post on.

[enigma9o7]

The blank space below posts seems to be resolved...

[93STLTH]

Ok, nothing major, but I noticed my post count is only 27, but I've posted 47 times. I guess my posts are only worth half of others? :-)

[Alan92RTTT]

Some of the areas are set such that posting in this does not add to your post count.

[stealthee]

It was like that on the other site as well. I know lounge areas and Parts wanted stuff didn't count. There were others as well.

[DocWalt]

You can't check your thanks yet, if that's a bug :p

[Alan92RTTT]

Its not a "bug" the guy that wrote the thanks has not implemented that yet....

[Geordon]

Why would someone show both red Not Verified and green Verified?
Odd (http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?658-1994-Stealth-RT-TT-9000)

[Alan92RTTT]

He probably joined the "not verified" group while he waited to be verified and I did not catch that when I added him to the verified group. Thanks for the catch I'll fix it.

[stealthee]

I got a new one. Maybe its just me. When I am viewing posts and click on the reply button its automatically going to advanced mode instead of moving the quick reply up the page like it has been doing previously.

Just got hit by another. I lost my subscription to two threads that I started right after I replied to them. I then couldn't subscribe to the thread via thread tools and had to submit a message to resubscribe.

[stealthee]

Scratch it. I was apparently having a browser freakout. All good now.

[stealthee]

haha, hey at least we got out of the 60's :D

I think I traced what caused my browser freak out making me think it was forum bugs.

Apparently I had gotten lazy and hadn't downloaded any Windows updates in about a year. I had to dl 48 updates last night. Since then Explorer has been blazing, even faster than it normally works.

[Polygon]

I have a new one. I posted in a thread, http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?906-calling-all-fellow-3-s-owners-i-need-help, and it created a double post and posted both as the first and second posts in the thread. When I try to PM Alan about it I get an error.

[Alan92RTTT]

NOpe not new. it happens if you post during a server issue.(why I'm working out upgrade plans)

[Polygon]

Ah, interesting.

I had a similar issue... I was locked out of both this site and 3Si, but I could get on in Firefox... No problem with several other VB sites I'm on. Thought I had a malware issue, but it came up clean. 46 updates later it's happy again.

I had the same issue today, double post to the top of the thread because it dated my posts 01-01-1970. Here is the thread: http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?307-Programmable-stock-ECU

[colt45 gto]

test......

lmao how did this reply end up up here? anyway...

Alan look at Bobs time of post, maybe his computer time is off? he is showing PM while everyone els is on AM still

[colt45 gto]

what time does it show this post? ugh lol man this is wacky! how can i go back in time? i made post #79 a few mins before these two...inc the one above. hahaha seems like somethin isn't right lol

[colt45 gto]

Bob you posted a day early we aint got to 09/24/2010 yet... scotty may have but we didn't! and whatever time is shows i posted this.....the time is 14.47pm i have GMT london selected in CP i think it has to be main site time and date.

[green-lantern]

Where will this post go?

The board is all messed up. I’m seeing newer posts above older ones.

[GTO Assassin]

While trying to search, I got this:

This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between searches. Please try again in 60527 seconds.

And I couldn't search. No idea why that came up. I didn't hit the search button twice either. :(

Scotty

EDIT - oh man. I must be high. My post just bumped Bob's out of the way.

[OhioSpyderman]

Whoa...11:51 PM....it was 6:51 AM.... (meaning the post below...which will probably continue to move down if others post before 11:51 PM????)

Also, there have been several times during the last couple of days when I receive the message "Unable to open the site www.3sgto.org/forum.php Operation aborted" and it boots me...

This also happened with other sections of the board...

Bob.

yep i get this too. infact i hit submit once and same as scotty i get the double post msg, ''this forum requires you to wait 20 second before posting again'' and then its thrown my reply in before the last person that replied.

[colt45 gto]

I got a new one, while trying to respond to this thread http://www.3sgto.org/showthread.php?946-Guys-who-have-flushed-their-system...&p=13739#post13739

I got the following error message "Your submission could not be processed because the token has expired.

Please reload the window." I was only one the page for a couple of minutes....

Bob.

just to see if i get in before bobs post?

[Alan92RTTT]

I think the token error and the wacky times are tied together.

I'm looking into it.

its all down to the time, the forum is seeing what time we post and setting the post in order of time rather than order of post.

I have an extra word in this post that I didn’t type. “material” is duplicated but when I try to edit the post it isn’t there but once.

[green-lantern]

The post


Honestly if I had the car back together now I'd probably just run it. I would cut that filter open though. If I found bearing material then I would think about changing the mains.
^ Edit: WTF!?!?!?!? It doesn't even show up when I copy and pase it?!?!?!?^

When I try and edit it.

Paul, less beer before reading posts ;)

[stealthee]

I've actually seen the duplicate word issue on MANY posts. Its always the last word of a line, then it duplicates that word to start the next line. There is no pattern to it appearing either.

[green-lantern]

lol Alan I swear it was there! I knew it would disappear after I said something about it and somebody would tell me to sober up.

WOW you drink more than me?


lol jk I'm glad somebody else has seen it.

[Alan92RTTT]

screen shot?

[CoreyB]

I have been seeing that problem since day one as well.

[stealthee]

screen shot?

When I see it again I will send along a screen shot.

[stealthee]

Ask and ye shall receive

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff92/stealthee3k/3sgto.jpg

As you can see in the quote its only there once.

[Alan92RTTT]

Are all of you that see it using IE?

IF you resize the browser width does the duplicate word stay?

[DocWalt]

Looks like an IE compatibility issue to me. I've seen it do that at work.

[CoreyB]

I dont know about anyone else but I am running firefox and I click settings to see the threads I am subscribed to that have new post. For some reason I need to click it twice. Does anyone else have this issue.

[Alan92RTTT]

FF and one click into settings.

If you want subscribed threads check the quick links menu for the "subscribed threads" option

[stealthee]

OK, I am still getting half a page of space at the bottom of pages and I figured out why. For some reason on the last post of each page the "blog this post", "Report post" and "thanks" icons are all sitting at the bottom of the page.

I am set to 40 posts per page at this point. I can get a screen shot but it will have to wait til after work.

EDIT: When I am the last post just the report post icon sits at the bottom of the page.

[green-lantern]

screen shot?

I can't upload anything at work anymore because my PC needs an update badly.

It definitely has something to do with the size of the screen. I can minimize (restore down) the window and the extra word goes away. I’m using IE here at work.

all threads? or just specific ones?

I can't duplicate this in IE light or dark theme.

[stealthee]

First pic shows how much space I still have where the bottom of the page should be. Second pic shows the report post icon and thanks at the very bottom of the page. It doesn't do it every single time, but more often than not it does do it.

I've noticed that the secondary menu bar that has new posts, PMs, ect, disappears in any search result page.

And it's fixed.... I could do a search or hit the new post button twice in a row without backing up today. YAY!

I just thought I'd acknowledge the fix. it is appreciated... Thank you.

[Roybatty]

I noticed when you view your Subscribed threads, you click the icon to go to the last page, it puts you to the first page. Only noticed this in subscribed threads.
