Server Issues, Etc

Not that I am overly bothered but what is happening to the post counter?

I have just been browsing the forums and came accross Warbaby1948's last post. 2 days ago he finished up on 60,100 posts but it is now saying he has 59,974 posts and I also noticed that Master's... Sadistic1's post count has dropped as well from just over 30,000 posts down to 29,750 posts.

Is there a glitch in the system somewhere?

I second cg: noticed that the stats went past 33K last night but overnight it seems to have gone down with 300. Not a big issue as numbers go, but I'd like to know the post count is working reliably. Or have some old threads been deleted somewhere?

[Sadistic1]

Yes I would like to know whats going on as well.

[thepast]

Seriously?

No one's threads are being deleted, they aren't going anywhere. The only place they get moved is down into the archives if they're over a yr old, and trust me, they still get counted into your post count. No one is magically going in & deleting your posts or threads--a.) we don't have that kind of time to waste, b.) it would serve no purpose, c.) refer to a & b.

We'll add it to the list of things to look at... But I can flat out tell you that right now we have about 20-30 other things on the list that far supercede the fact that the post counter is fluxing.

Posts aren't being deleted. I think that's the key to this one. Everything else is... well...

denu--your user title is greeter, and you're now in the greeter user group, so can't be changed, so that's why you get that.

As for the bizzare scroll problem... I am getting it as well. Using IE, Windows Vista.

Tiger, from my end... the problem seems to be that suddenly the front page auto-adjusted wide. It used to be that the "last post" column didn't match up on each group of subforums & now it does, lengthening the "forum title & description" column MUCH wider & hence the screen widening...

oh okies ty delia

Most people don't use safari... so, no. Not fixed yet.

Tiger, perhaps the default font is now somehow larger?

Don't know if it helps, but I'm using Firefox and my monitor resolution is set for 1152x864 pixels, and I am not having any problems.

When I switch to IE I lose part of the last column (either Posts, in the Welcome page, or Views in the Thread listings.) There's a scroll bar at the bottom to let me see these columns.

Maybe this will help you narrow down the problem.

[gagged_Louise]

Yep, I'm getting that too. But I didn't really notice because it's much less obvious - the page appears just a tiny bit wider than the screen, and that bit is to the right side, so it slips from sight. Could be depending on the monitor of course (my monitor is old and hoary but effective, around 14" and I haven't updated the drivers for a long time). Using Windows XP, IE6 SP1 - and a second browser, Opera 9.50, where it looks completely okay.

Interesting, in that, for example, imported links such as the 7 jasmin links were smaller from left to right, but the board itself didn't change. Leads me to believe some set of 'appearance parameters' were changed or reinterpretted.

OK,, take a look folks appears to be "fixed" post counter fixed,, viewing should be for all

[angelic.zest]

[eVile]

I've been trying to upload some photo attachments but ever since the site overhaul it seems they always fail. I'm on a mac with osx and I've tried uploading in Safari and Firefox. Any ideas?

[Torq]

It's on the list of TTD

Thks.

[angelic.zest]

i noticed on the top of this page there are tabs for sections of the forum...but i dont see the "Member lookup/search" tab...is there a reason its not at the top or am i looking in the wrong spot? Lol

also could be the fact that im sleeeeeppppppppppppppy!

[Ozme52]

I notice it too, yesterday.

Gone on purpose? If not... there are strange things happening, one of which is this window size problem... Could they all be related?

A versioning problem with the new server?

[Chuckdom19]

I think "tasking" has taken its place.

[Torq]

Threads merged same question,,

Thanks all

[HisKitty]

so sorry in advance, lol.

I see at the bottom of some forums that it says "You MAY edit your own posts in here" but I can't figure out for the life of me how to edit my own posts. xD

Help, please

[Torq]

Click edit buton,,scroll down page ,,edit,, save
Keep in mind you can only edit up to 30 minutes after you post. otherwise its as is

Be Well

[Escritor]

Seems the only way to change one's nick is through a message here, am I right?

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to change my nick from slvWriting to Escritor (which is basically the same name, but in Spanish, and with no slv prefix, since I'm a switch and is "more correct" that way)

Thanks in advance!!

[Ozme52]

If you don't get an answer, you should PM Torq or delia.

The response to a posting usually takes longer.

[Ozme52]

Oh thank gawd... I thought I'd totally lost my mind cuz I never noticed the posts from two weeks ago when I added mine to zesty's.

Tricky bastard!!!

[HisKitty]

Ohhhhhhhh that must be it xD

Only have 30 minutes, didn't know that! Thank you so much

I think I'll practice on this post.


Edit: yay it works

What about the ability to delete an accidental double post? Or delete a post just made? Maybe make the time limit 5 minutes.
