From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands
Published on February 18, 2008 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

Huzzah!

We've completed our work for the night and the forums are back up and running.  You'll notice a number of visual changes, and you'll hopefully notice improved speed and general performance.

Please post any issues you run into here.  We've done a lot of testing this past week and tonight, but if something slipped through we want to know so it can be fixed quickly.

Items not functioning at this moment:

  1. Recent Posts List on the Sidebar
  2. Featured Articles

Fixes are coming for these tomorrow.  For now, it's getting on towards 5am and we want to get some sleep 

Thank you all for your patience.

REALLY bothersome not being able to go to last post read\replied to.. having to go to last page.. scroll down etc etc... my replies 'feature'.

Ugh, I hear ya on that.

Another bug: when viewing someone's profile page, the "Wincustomize site" link just appends the user name to the end of it, and in some cases this ends up as an error, such as Erk's site. (Had to use you as an example) http://users.wincustomize.com/Erk. obviously won't work because of the . at the end of his username, and that's not the proper url anyway.

Now that I've edited this post and had to go to the last page to see it, when I try to click on the "view all recent posts" link it takes me to https://forums.wincustomize.com/post.aspx?g=recent which results in the "post does not exist error." The proper link should be https://forums.wincustomize.com/?g=recent. Seems to happen whenever I do those steps. (After testing, don't even need to edit, just open a thread with multiple pages > click on "last" page, and the "view all recent posts" link leads to post does not exist.)

Got 2 more forum bugs for ya Zoomba.

1. When I make a post, then click on edit to make some changes, then click on submit to resubmit it; it vanishes into that big ole WC wormhole. Poof! Post gone. Gotta start from scratch.

2. When I click on insert web link button the url window opens up on the top of my FF tab, half stuck under the tab window. insert url window hidden window thingy

I'm on the latest build of FF, WinXPPRO/SP2

Update on the vanishing edited posts. They're not! When you open a post and it has more than one page, it still defaults to the first page so I usually post a reply on the bottom of that first page.
The firs page of the post refreshes with my new post on the bottom. As usual I see some need for editing.
I click on edit and resubmit. That first page of the post is refreshed with my post missing.
The post was pushed to the last page of the thread but my FF browser remained on the first page of the thread so I thought the edited post was disappearing.
Don't know if you can do anything about this, but it will cut down on some double posting. Doh!

Could it be locally installed spamware?

Dont believe so. I keep my pc pretty clean. And although you do see these on some other sites its not on all. Only started happening here since some of the forum changes. Its just a form of advertising that some sites use. I believe they use it here also but supposed to be for non subscribers.
  

Not a huge deal. They are easy enough to ignore. Just letting them know they are there. I know they were checking into it.

All of a sudden today I am getting banner ads just under the row of :

My Account | Watchlist | My Posts | My Replies | Private Messages


Its not a constant thing though. They have been coming and going on and off today.


Just thought Id mention it.

I really like the new support badges!

I keep seeing this. It's not always this way, but it occurs quite often. I am also finding that sometimes the Catagorys and Recent Forum Activity are not on the page at all. I cleared cookies...etc.


Using XP Pro and IE7
Occurs on seemingly randon threads.

Is this happening to anyone else?
