Server upgrade - issue post

[mark]

Please post any issues with the site here so I can get them resolved. Most of the board is functioning. However, there are a few issues left to be fixed.

Here is a list of stuff not working.

Flashchat
Coupon Database
PM Search - now working
ITrader (just the display, all of the data is still intact)

I will work to get everything back up by this weekend. Shoot me pms if you need individual attention.

Is there anything wrong with WL links?

When I clicked on another member's WL link in the signature, this is the error message I receive (Her WL use to work prior to server migration.):

Not Found

The requested URL /forums/wish-lists-green-wishes-actuals-trade/3603-oheathers-wishlist-updated-3-9-08-a.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at www.organicgrocerydeals.com Port 80

[mark]

Yes, there will be an issue with that post until I get the vBSEO back up and running later today.

[mark]

OK - The direct link is now fixed.

Keep the reports coming on the issues.

Thanks for working so diligently on the migration, Mark

This is moon and stars. Unfortunately, I can't remember my password and cannot locate it. I have been through the process several times of clicking on the "forgotten password" link when attempting to login and I receive the first email that contains a link to click on (that brings me to a screen here at OGD that says my password is being reset and emailed to me). Therein lies the problem ... I never receive the email containing my new password.

I would love to get this issue resolved so I can log back in as moon and stars (I had to register again ... as moon and stars2 ... just to be able to post about this issue). Hope this makes sense.

[mark]

Yes, it makes sense. There is an issue with the mail system.

I have manually re-set your password. Please see your email for an email from me.

I don't know if this works differently on the new features than on the regular board, and it's more of a glitch than a problem.

When I make a post on the regular board forums I can type something up and then switch to the "Advanced" mode if I decide I want to add a different smiley or something. When I get to the advanced mode everything I'd previously written is still here.

When I post in the user profile "visitor messages" area it doesn't work like that. Switching to advanced mode deletes anything I'd previously written in regular mode.

It seems that switching to advanced mode shouldn't cause something to be deleted, but maybe with the new features it works differently than on the forums.

Does that make sense?

I noticed the same thing, Kristen. I figured it was me just being tech unsavy

[mark]

No that should not happen. I will check to see if it a bug.

Some members are still having trouble logging on. Not sure what to tell them, or if I should PM you.

[mark]

I hate to sound redundant, but

1. Clear cache/temp files
2. Clear cookies
3. Shutdown and Restart computer
4. Make sure "remember me" box is ticked when logging in.

I was having a similar issue of being logged out all the time. But since doing the above, I'm back to normal.

No, just the alternate account she made to log on, moonandstars2.

Heidi suggested that, but the member says it still won't work.

[OHeather]

I can't access the DB. I don't even see an option @ the top bar (w/ new posts, user cp, etc) and it's driving me crazy...and I don't have far to go!

It's one of the features Mark is still working on along with the flashchat, itrader ratings, etc.

[OHeather]

Ok, HCW here I come!

[jujubee]

Any ideas when our chat and data base will be back?

[suzy24]

what is the purpose of the tags at the bottom of each thread???

[kristen.c]

Mark--

another thing I noticed just now and again, not sure if this is how the board works or just a glitch:

I've been working on tagging threads in the recipe forum. There were a few that I decided to move to another subforum because they were a better fit and I noticed that after moving the threads the tags disappeared. I thought I must have done something wrong so I tried it on a third post and the same thing happened.

Is this a glitch or just something that we need to be aware of?

[kristen.c]

Another issue (sorry Mark!)

When trying to post comments on the user profile now I'm getting the message:

The following errors occurred with your submission:

1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

I press the back button and resubmitted it and the message goes through the second time with no errors. This has happened twice today.

Yep, that happened to me too.

Speaking of profile comments, I got one last night and even though I've read it already there is still a 1 next to New Profile Comment. Usually it goes away after I've gone into my User Profile....

[mark]

Let me check on that.

I will be upgrading the board later tonight. It should fix these issues.

Also, there was a mistake in the email system. I have made the change.

Thanks for all of your hard work Mark!
