Okay, I'm loosing track of what's buggy or doesn't work - list 'em here.

Confirmed bugs

- Invisibility - can't log in anonymously.
- Comment folders showing duplicates of comments when sidebar shows correct non-duplicate comments
- Gallery not working still
- 2004-2005 board archives

Fixed bugs

- Member teams

INVISIBILITY!!! Cuz you know they'll just keep whining about it icon_wink.gif

Board doesn't always keep me logged in, so far browser doesn't matter. icon_sad.gif I use an older IE here at work and FF at home.

Comment folders showing duplicates of comments when sidebar shows correct non-duplicate comments (better explained in upgrade thread)

Threads were randomly going from read to unread yesterday without any new posts. Haven't seen it today though.

In Quick Edit, when I hit 'complete edit' the pop-up box that says 'loading..' never stopped loading. Only happened the one day though.

Friends: I'm not sure exactly how friends are set up to work. I added a friend and she got the PM saying to approve/deny, but she had nothing on her profile that would let her approve me. She ended up having to add me as her friend, then I approved her, then we were all set. But I've had it work fine with most other people.

Spoiler thingie works great in the blue but I've heard it can't be seen in the black skin which leads people to think there's nothing there.

In my friends folder, I usually have one person who's randomly crossed out -- literally, with multiple lines all across the box. Don't know what this is, but it doesn't seem to affect anything.

Member teams for which you are awaiting fix I think

Gallery not working still?

Archives?

That's all I've heard about. Does this mean you won't be reading the upgrade thread anymore? icon_sad.gif

cabri, could you please PM me your username and password? I want to look at the Comments bug on your profile

Cheers

Not sure about others, but one new member can't post or stay logged in, the errors she gets are varied as 'this thread is no longer accepting posts' to 'you don't have permission to access this page' to 'you need to log in to post'

Sometimes, when people change their Avatars, I can see the old avatar but in the size of the new avatar for a while after they've changed it. It can take up to a day for me to see the new avatar.

DarkWolf changes his avatar a lot, so that's who I've noticed it with.

That happened sometimes with the old board too, Joni. Sometimes a hard refresh will fix it.


And on to my problem: Marking of unread threads.

Twice tonight I've had threads I'd already read show up as unread. Since I was in RWD, it's harder for me to remember if I read all those gorram posts, so I ended up having to go through all of them again.

Later, when I was one thread away from having finished reading the whole gorram subforum, I had a server timeout -- and when I got back, the only thread that was marked as read was the one I'd been in when the timeout hit.

At least this time I was pretty sure everyone hadn't frenziedly posted in every single thread in the 3 seconds I was gone... though I don't know, they can be pretty quick when they're on a roll. icon_mrgreen.gif
Jax
Something that I've always had since I've been a member here, the button that's supposed to take you to the last read post in a thread, it doesn't take me to the last read post, but posts somewhere above the last read post. There's no consistency to how many posts up from the last read post it will go, sometimes, in the same thread, on different days, it will take me to posts higher up or further down the thread, but always far above my last read post *confused*
cabri
Here's a nice big pic illustrating the error:



Everything below the top group of unreads was read already. The ones near the bottom marked unread were read during the same session as the ones marked read.

Below that group and obviously off the screen is another gap of read threads and then another group of unread threads which were already read. I read those at home, though, so I'll concede that those could be a matter of different log-ins and computers.

This is my last gasp of bringing it to your attention so if you ignore me this time you've successfully waited out my nagging! icon_mrgreen.gif

It wishes for me to log in twice. I enter my info, then get bumped to the screen which says there is an error, I enter everything again and it works fine. Now maybe I'm just a crappy typer and entering my password wrong, but this happens everytime, just the first time. Another forum I'm a member of just recently upgraded and this same problem cropped up over there, so I'm thinking maybe I'm not crazy (but that is open to debate!). icon_wink.gif

Thanks for all your hard work gossi, what a huge job making sure we can all come here and entertain each other... icon_biggrin.gif icon_cool.gif

Okay, I don't know if this is technically "broke" or not, but it's a change in functionality.

Before the upgrade if you Added a reply to the same thread twice w/o much pause in between (say because you missed a post while you were posting & wanted to quote it and reply to it right away) it would combine your two posts as long as nobody had posted after you. It doesn't do that now. It makes a separate post.

Bug or Feature?

I've noticed the same thing and also wonder if it's a bug or a new feature.

Since it seems you want all problems in one place, I'll repeat one that's been brought up before. (I think it was called "Stuck in the Middle with You.") Let's say I'm reading a thread in Real-World Discussion. From there, I can return to the RWD main page or the forum home page. What I can't do is select Real World where I get my choice of Sci fi, General, Fun, and RWD. This isn't a terribly annoying problem or anything, but if you really want to know about every bug, here you go.

Right, hopefully Member Teams is fixed..

Hero, that's been working okay for me and others for a few weeks now. We talked about it over at the 'upgrade' thread.

I now have to log in every 24 hours or so. This wasn't happening a week or so ago.

Not just the loggin in over and over, but the people who can't log in at all or can only get partially logged in. Anonymous1 is still having problems and aboleyn24 is still not showing up as a paid member.

Come on, you know none of us have a life outside that board! Don't try to fix things that are fine!

Please bring the UK board back! We're going insane without it!

gossi, the heat at work is not working. Please come fix it! I'm sure my $10 paid membership covers such things...

Hey Gossi,

Any update on when we might get invisibility back?

Hope the updates are going well.
cabri
My profile view number is stuck. And, yes, people have still been visiting me every so once in a while -- though not you. icon_evil.gif (I bet that whole "moving flats and stupid BT destroying interweb goodness" thing is just an excuse to avoid me -- and my questions!!! icon_razz.gif)

Er, anyway. Is there a max number of profile views? Have you figured out yet what triggers a new profile view? I have way too many but that's no excuse for stopping them altogether!!!

icon_mrgreen.gif





P.S. Look what I've found:



It's like a little chain of Staphylococcus congae icon_cool.gif

You sure do have a lot of profile views, cab. Now, you have another. You find the most interesting emotis.

Gossi, these invisible wannabes keep nagging me to come kick you. Any news on your progress? Or are you enjoying your new digs so much you've abandoned them to their conspicuosity?

(p.s. I promise I won't kick you. But slapping ain't out of the question yet... )
MalGal
Yes, I'd like invisibility back. icon_smile.gif

I also need help for a user who is able to log in, but not post. You there gossi? Please help me.

I've noticed that the Blog Views # never changes...just like profile views mentioned above. My blog went to 459 and stopped a few weeks ago. I looked at other blogs and my visit didn't register.

Thanks, gossi!
Askama
Well, it seems that I had to expire before the option to purchase came up, which it did and which I did. At that, my message box cleared out and it appears I am all set. Just to let you know, G. Sorry for the bother.

Nope. Gossikev is the only one we can pester about this stuff. If I give you a cookie, will you help dawnhc4 please?

Hmmm... I wonder if administration has finally gotten around to fixing invisibility. Or anything else for that matter. Hmmm???

I sincerely hope you're not allowing your real life to interfere with your virtual life, gossi!

Ivisibility is still broken and I think poor Dawn has given up on being able to post here. icon_sad.gif

Er, well, it was kind of a sarcastic rhetorical question, MG. icon_wink.gif I'm irked with him cuz he hasn't been to Goners in so long. icon_razz.gif

But thanks for the update. icon_biggrin.gif

I figured it was that. I'm just saying in case he does look at this thread.

How 'bout that invisibility, gossi?

I've been doing my best to be as invisible as possible, honest cabri! icon_wink.gif

IE keeps crashing when I try to open up in it. I'm on the board now through Firefox but it uses too much memory or whatever it is on my computer and IE seems to work better. Any thoughts anybody? Thanks.

I swear my post count went down by 40...

... or I've lost my mind again.

Gossi, is there any way possible you could fix the 'Views' in the blogs? It's a little unnerving... Heck, we've got multiple blogs which show no views at all, and that's just downright impossible!



ETA: Oh, and that invisibility thing keeps cropping up. icon_rolleyes.gif

I'll second both of these; although, I'm more interested in having invisibility back than the views issue.

Okay, so why can't we change passwords on the teams? I'm on two teams, the leaders of which would like to change our passwords... and we can't even find the darn setting. Where did it go? What is going on?
