Full Version: Forums Upgrade
(Posted on behalf of alan fear)
Hi Mark,
I am sure that you are aware that there are some problems with the forums pages.
Firstly the link at the top of the gallery page, to report problems, has a problem of it's own...it does not allow replys.
For some reason, the user login keeps dropping out, at random. I have logged in 4 or 5 times in the last hour or so.
At times it can be very slow, still.
Sometimes the formatting in the forums drops out.
The gallery pages seem to be working well, but slow sometimes.

Alan, taking your points in order...
Not being able to reply
Well spotted! I completely forgot that I'd set the Announcements board to be read-only!
You should be able to leave a reply now...
User login
Are you logged out when you're using the Gallery, or the Forums, or both? Do you have to do anything (look at a picture or post) to cause the logout?
Very Slow
Are you referring to the Forums here?
Formatting
If you're seeing a largely unformatted page, it sounds like the stylesheet isn't being loaded, which is probably related to the speed issue.
Gallery page
Has this slowed down noticeably since yesterday when we upgraded the forum? Or has it been slow on and off for the last week?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Mark,
I am being faced with random logging off as well... I thought it was just me until I read one of Bridget's comments.
Normally I open the site and I am instantly in as me. From today (OZ time) I have had to log in. Then I went from Gallery to forum and it wanted me to log in again.
I opened my e-mail program to sent an a-mail and when OI came back to the still open browser I had to log in again

That's good to hear!
Do you mean the new-look Profile page (the page that's displayed when you click on your name in the Forums?)

How did this happen? My comment came out as an unregistered user. lol. Which, quite frankly, could work out to my advantage for future comments. lol...

Is it just this comment? Or are there others?

So far it only happened on the one comment.
OK, thanks for letting me know, I've deleted it to avoid any confusion!
Please tell me if it happens again.

Hi Mark,
I have tried several times to upload a photo to my profile page, but keep getting the message that the upload failed and to conact a board administrator. The pictures I have tried are JPG's, max one side 150px and only about 50kb.
Cheers, Alan
This bug has now been fixed.
You should now be able to upload a photo to the Profile page.
