Thread: Site issues, To Do List

  1. #1

    Default Site issues, To Do List

    I will be using this thread to track what all I still need to fix on the site after the hack rebuild.

    Please only post in this thread to bring to my attention an issue that you have found.

    Please read this thread in it's entirety before posting an issue that you have found. Posting duplicate issues that have already been mentioned by someone else in this thread will only create more work for me.

    Whenever possible, please include a screenshot of the problem so I can see exactly what you are talking about. Here is a link to show you How To Take A Screenshot.

    • Aerodrome Accessories site is still offline

    Missing Images

    If you have missing images from any of your older posts (from before the hack rebuild), you will need to edit your post and either re-attach the image or verify that the link to the image is still correct.

    ObH,
    The template for submitting a Book Review isn't loading. From the Book Reviews page, selecting Post New Thread brings up a 'standard' comments box.

    Okay, I'm not the only one seeing that then. It looks like there is a fix for it out there. Until I can get it sorted, just click on Leave page. It will post the reply and reload the page.

    Does this mean our missing album pictures will not be recovered, or is that a separate issue?

    The database for the site was restored back to March 23rd (before any of the signs of the site being hacked). If your photos/albums were added after that date, they will have to be uploaded again. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    Two things:

    My images, prior to March 23 aren't there. They don't open. More strange even, I deleted some photos that I had in an album and I created another album and uploaded again these photos from my computer with some new ones. The new ones uploaded fine, but the ones I had already uploaded previously, deleted and uploaded again to a different album, appeared as blank photos. So I deleted them from my computer, scanned them again and uploaded again and they appeared.

    And most my albums have the images, but they don't appear. What should I do?

    Try saving the images with new names and uploading them again. Does everything look okay during the upload process, and they only appear blank once you go to the final album page? Can you link me to the album with the issue?

    1. I deleted the previous photos of this album.
    2. I uploaded it again. They stayed blank.
    3. I changed the name of these photos and tried to upload them again and they failed to upload.

    I have the same problem as Joaquim. I must have lost about 700 photos. Also the ones in my "How To" on the Home page have been decimated too.

    Rob, you are not able to upload new photos either?

    I'll need to know what browser and version of it you guys are using.

    New photos are fine. It is just some of the older ones are now blank frames.

    Okay, it appears that those photos, which the site classifies as attachments, are no longer in the database and are actually missing from the file folders containing all the forum's attachments (we have over 25,000 attachments if anyone is wondering!).

    I've asked to see if they can restore just the attachment folders back to what they were on 20 March. Hopefully this will fix all the old missing ones. It might cause the ones added since then to go missing, but those should be easier people to re-upload then all the old ones.

    Can you email me one or two of the photos so that I can try it from my end? colhajj@wingsofwar.org

    The only thing I note, and it's a small thing, is that the post quick reply doesn't; that is, it goes through the redirect process (as per the adavnced posting). Not a big deal, but since I like to navigate with the backing button, this means I need to hit it 2-3 times, fast, to get back to the search list (I like using the "what's new" function).
    Is this an error, or a new characteristic of the improved forum?

    Karl, it's working as should be.

    I'm not sure and tracking down an issue with a thread that in no longer there is pretty much impossible. I can only say to make the thread again and link me to it. Then I can watch it to see if anything weird is going on.

    After posting a Quick Reply the 'Back' button does not work. You have to click on Forums at the top of the page to return to the Forums.

    That is correct; however, before the invasion and repair of the last week, it was not so.
    This seems to be the new condition.
    On the other hand, we now have the auto save funtion the Sails of Glory site has.

    What does the auto save button actually do Karl?

    Rob, the Auto Save function saves your post as you type it (automatically). It does this periodically as you type. You may notice the little yellow pop up in the lower right as you type. After an auto save, if you leave the page for any reason, or even close your browser window, all you have to do is come back to the thread and look for the "Restore Auto-Saved Content" button at the bottom left of the reply box.

    Very helpful when you have spent a while making a long post only to loose the window some how.

    I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I get a 404 error when I navigate from a thread to the Home tab. The home page loads fine when you log in but you can't get back to it. It happened both at work and home.

    Hi Keith! When I went to visit this morning I got that same 404 error from my bookmarked link.
    I had to Google & then access from there & copy a new link into my favourites.
    Col had the same problem.
    There is also some issues with the smilies as they dont work in all the sections & drop out as soon as you click on one to add. Usually the Box stays up & you can add multiples.

  44. #44

    Default

    Not sure about the 404 error, as I've not gotten one since I brought the site back up. It is possible it is cashed in your browser. Try clearing that and see what happens.

    What section do the smiles not work in? As for the pop up window closing after you have selected one, that is how it works on the Quick Reply now. If you go Advanced, you can click on the more under the smilies on the right and that window will stay open and allow you to click on as many as you like before you close it.

    I am also getting a message saying The webpage cannot be found when I go to home from this thread Keith. The emoticons also only allow me to post one before dropping out even on advanced.

    Please cut and paste the URL address on the page that gives you the 404. Also, have you tried clearing your cache?
