Tracking problems with the forum upgrade [Post here]

[Nfld Sapper]

Should have figured that Mike.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

No, don't hesitate to report problems... I'd rather know and not need to than need to and not know.

 

[dangerboy]

I do not know if this is a problem or not but when I have no new unread posts the board and sub-board list is coming up twice.

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Bah... that's fallout from having the breadcrumbs on the bottom now.

 

[Old Sweat]

Mike

I am still getting the white screen for the main page. However I can check in very easily using the unread posts page.

 

[ModlrMike]

Mike,

I don't know if this has been reported... but when I change my avatar in my profile, the changes don't stick. I've tried to physically change the avatar image, and link to an image off site. Both have failed and the original image is still displayed.

 

[Michael OLeary]

Am I the only one seeing this (see pic).  I'm using Firefox 3.0.3 on Ubuntu.

 

[PMedMoe]

Nope, I get that one, too.  On the Unread threads and when posting a reply, I get a "double" banner.

I was credited with one hour of online time in 32 minutes. Is this related to the upgrade or something else?

I just got another hour in 44 minutes.

I have something similar with regards to my subscription renewal:

Moe,

That was my fault. the subscription renewal script ran amok for a bit and so PayPal kept retrying... every time it did you got more points.

ModlrMike, it's likely a cache issue... the image always has the same location (http://army.ca/forums/avatars/User-Uploaded/avatar_19024.png) and often browsers - or even the networking gear between the site and you - will cache the old image, thinking it hasn't changed. Often a Shift-reload or CTRL-refresh will do the trick.

Michael, you're seeing a genuine problem alright... when I added the breadcrumbs back to the bottom, they now appear twice at the top in some cases. It's a bug in the software unfortunately.

Moe,

......and you contributed $240 to keep the site up and running/improving

Thanks Moe; You rock  ;D

 

[PMedMoe]

Thanks Moe; You rock  ;D

A more appropriate response would be: 

but thank you, thank you very much!

On a side note, I wondered why my VISA bill was so high! 

 

[Mike Bobbitt]

Heheh, luckily the hiccup was just PayPal trying to inform the site that payment had been made... the actual payment went through just the once.

 

[Bzzliteyr]

Sure it did....

Oops.

How about this one:

JBG, that's because I deleted my post.  I was going to comment that the lyrics game had been done already and just decided not to bother.  Sorry.

Spell Check can't spell.

I made a mistake in typing too fast and spelled "Capital" as "CAPTIAL" and it was acceptable in the dictionary for this program.

It doesn't pick it up as wrong here either.  :-\

I just rely on the red underlining of the words as I type them as seen in Word. It works, I guess, anyway, I haven't had any complaints of my spelling.
