Forums Moved [Archive] - Chief Delphi

The forums have been moved to the new server, if you're seeing this. I'm still verifying things, but it all looks good so far. Please respond to this thread if you notice things acting weird, throwing errors, etc.

I see one grave error: nobody's said a thank-you for your hard work (on a holiday weekend, no less).

There, fixed that. :)

I echo Billfred's thanks.

Also it seems I got two subscribed forums notifications this evening (or morning, I suppose) for the same forum.

Weird .. may have been a fluke. Let me know if it keeps happening and I'll check into it. Or if anybody else sees the same thing happening, let me know.

Same here, subscribed thread, about an hour apart. The first one had multiple posts (some of which were resends from the notification before); the second only had 2 posts (both of which were in the first one).

The old server may have sent them. I'll shut that site off just in case, now that everythings moved over.

Let me know if you get any more duplicates after this.

Can you give me an exact error you're getting, so I can find where it's failing in the code?

Thanks,
Brandon

Should be fixed now. Thanks!

Here's a weird one. Before the upgrade, I could see deleted posts (as in, the space where they had been deleted and the reasons)... Now I can't.

Whether that's a good thing or not... well, it makes this post (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1087597&postcount=30) a little odd-sounding. (Two before it, one spam and one reported tag have been deleted.) In other cases it's nice, though.

Deletions being visible to normal users is a VB permission setting. Something probably just got flipped in the server move.

Brandon Martus

30-11-2011, 14:08

You should be able to see .. check again.

No luck, unfortunately.

Probably not caused by the move, but stats.chiefdelphi.com stops at March 2011. However, if you click through to the details, you can access the missing stats.

That's a manual update and I've been lazy. I'll update those sometime soon. :)

You're looking at the thread view, right, not the single post view?

Thread view here.

^Reported. Shortly there might be an example in this thread...

Edit: Yep, thought so. I can't see that the spam was deleted...

For some reason, I can see the deleted post when not logged in, but when I am logged in I can't

I noticed this AM the you last visited at XX time was missing from recent posts.

Also as always thanks for your efforts to keep the forum going.

Pete

Scratch that. My next trip to the home page it popped up.

I'm seeing the same behavior. After I log in, the "You last visited here." is in the location from two log-ins ago. When I reload, it is in the correct place.

Weird. It must interpret things slightly differently on this newer version of php.

Depending on what user group(s) you belong to behind the scenes, it may be hidden. I just enabled it for everybody .. let me know if you don't see them still.

Brandon Martus

@Joe: Strange .. I'll have to take a look at the code that calculates that a bit closer.

Nope. I still can't see the deleted posts.

Same here.

Check again .. I'm digging through default permissions, user permissions, usergroup permissions .. and now forum-specific permissions.

EricH

01-12-2011, 13:33

That seems to be working. At least in this thread.

Edit: Just checked the other thread (in Robot Showcase) and the deletions aren't showing up.

Success!

At least for me, that is.

That seems to be working. At least in this thread.

Did a quick search for threads with the word "reported" in them. I'm seeing deleted posts in those now too.

It seems that the edit button is no longer showing up for me on my posts. On the other hand I could just be totally missing it. Any ideas why, I do have "You may edit your posts" in the posting rules at the bottom. Oh hmm, I can't edit oldish things, I can't remember if I could on the old server.
There's a time cutoff for editing posts; I want to say 24 hours. Anything beyond that is uneditable except by a moderator.

Edit: I do have an edit button. Lower right of the post, right where it's been for the last several years.

Thanks, seems I got behavior and bugs confused :P.

Robot Showcase should be fixed now. Thanks for your help on this, guys.
