Ok, it looks like the upgrade was mainly successful. The board is still here after all :cheers:

What I need is a list of anything that isn't working properly so Joe and I can fix any outstanding issues that exist.


I am aware that the main page at 3geez.com is down right now and will be working to get that fixed.

seems like if i try to quote somebody, it was posting it really quick and then giving me an error message saying i need to wait 30 seconds between replies instead of going to the "you'll now be taken to your post" page.


just did it again. and it's also doing it randomly, not just when i'm quoting.

the quick reply box is very small (used to be a lot wider)

using Firefox

plus anybody got the link to the "recent threads" link that's usually on the front page?

frantik
08-13-2007, 10:13 PM
yep, i get that error too :(

I think figured out why the quick reply box takes so long to show up too... in the HTML code a Javascript file is included which I assume displays the reply box. The script is included quite low on the page, after all of the posts.. so the script doesn't start loading until after the post text has been displayed.. consequently the quick reply seems to take a long time to appear.

this could (theoretically) be solved by inclusion higher up on the
page.. though I dunno if you want to get into fooling with the template like that lol

edit: well at least it looks like the javascript files get cached so next time you go to the page the quick reply pops up pretty fast

when I hit the "new posts" button, I get a lot of clicks, -click-click-click, then an Internet Explorer small box that says "Stack overflow at line: 0" I hit OK, then the new posts come up. This happened twice in a row.

Edit: also, when I hit the button to post this message, I noticed the "connect" tab on the IE folder flickering, maybe that was the clicking I heard when I tried to submit the original post.

the reason you have to wait between searches is to prevent the server from being overloaded (for example from a DoS attack).. even if you dont return a result it put the strain on the server

Hrmm, I always thought , new posts., was the recent posts before moderators filed them away or whatever. That is something I noticed also in the past month, they were being "filed" away like every hour or so during the day instead of like three or four times a day... And on weekends... all the weekend post stay except sometimes maybe once a day they will be cleaned out.
That is how is has been working for me, or maybe I am just totally making that shit up????

Well, this morning (saturday), I clicked on "new posts," and the folder title hung in a mode which alternated between the "3G" and the "connecting" title. The clicking went on for about 30 seconds, and I couldn't get it to stop even by clicking on the "stop" button up top. Finally, I hit Cntrl-alt-delete, which brought up the Windows Task Manager box in the upper left corner, where I can stop programs that won't respond any other way. When I tried to stop the runaway 3G program, finally the little box that I've mentioned earlier here "stack overflow at line: 0" came up, and I could click on it to get 16 new messages.

Clearly something is not right here. This is also the first time that the 3G new messages routine has got me into an endless loop which I couldn't get out of except doing the above. Am I the only one having this happen?

ps: when I tried to submit this post I got the same crap. Had to try to end the program to get out of the loop. Editing a post, however, goes off without a hitch.

W261 I had the same kind of thing happening sometimes and I figured out it was the virus scan doing a complet system scan every other time I booted. It stayed in the tray where I didnt realize it was running, I just found the settings to fix that. Every time I tryed to enter somthing in the brouser it would go like umpteem times still it filled up and locked up.

Other problems i seem to have with 3geez sometimes is working at the same time as someone else and my entry gets winked somehow, time stamp I guess. I havnt been on the forum much since the upgrade but so far so good.

On another machine, w98, every time I click on quick links it goes to IE illeagal operation message and makes me close it out, otherwise if I navigate to everything via "3rd Gen Accords" it shows all subject catatgories and I am able to look at the newest threads that way.
I take it that the upgrade may not be w9x friendly, or IE 5 or 5.5 friendly??
on win98 IE is an illegal operation. ive noticed that after a post it decides to go PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED. only when i post from the post reply page. quick replys work all the time for me. i have to press refresh to load the thread again

I can't change the font size in my signature. I tried to use Size 1, but it tells me that the font size is too big and the max allowed is size 20. I'd like to shrink all the text in my sig so it looks cleaner... :D

dont know if it has anything to do with upgrade or not, I tried entering things into my garage and nothing seemed to go in and it will not let me edit anything.

Im having some issues wiht the w98 machine on the upgraded forum, smileys do not work at all even though they are displayed, thread posts by only certain members are cut off on the right margin. The white text box only, the background is consistant. Cannot open up things from the dropdowns like it used to, I have to refresh frequently to get posts to go thru as well as PMs .... any explanation that covers all of these at once maybe?

Are you using IE? If so, you should use FireFox. Or at least Opera, which I'm beginning to like more than CrashFox.
