Forums Moved
 

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. :)

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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).

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

Brandon,

Thanks for the update!

I have an issue trying to update my avtar, It goes to that page and says its not able to do it.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Thanks,
Brandon

Re: Forums Moved
 

Here you go! It happens when I click "update"

Thanks Brandon!

Re: Forums Moved
 

Should be fixed now. Thanks!

Re: Forums Moved
 

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 a little odd-sounding. (Two before it, one spam and one reported tag have been deleted.) In other cases it's nice, though.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

You should be able to see .. check again.

Re: Forums Moved
 

No luck, unfortunately.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

Thread view here.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

Same here.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

Success!

At least for me, that is.

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Oliver

Re: Forums Moved
 

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.

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

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

Re: Forums Moved
 

No, thank you for all that you've done for us!
