SandChigger Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 That's not terribly impressive, now is it...Under matters board-related: Had an issue with double posting of a comment on someone's profile page. (I reposted it because it wasn't showing up, but it turned out it had gone through.)On the shores of Glitchy-gloomy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 If NoScript is enabled and you post a comment it takes ages to go back to the thread. OK, flash/scripts are needed for long structured comments, but for a quick reply? I love my NoScript. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 I've just updated the forum software to a newer version, nothing major just 3.1.2 to 3.1.4. I've also bumped up the memory on our VPS to 500MB so hopefully that helps some with page load speeds. More stuff over the next week or so.And athanasios why do you need NoScript enabled for this site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 It is just on by default. Just in case.OK I am trying to make it a habit to allow this site before I log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I've just updated the forum software to a newer version, nothing major just 3.1.2 to 3.1.4.Gobalopper, I can't see how this has anything to do with the update, but for the last day or two the login pop-up has been giving me this error:[#10193] We encountered a problem processing your login request. Please try again.If I click the "Click here to login" link, Safari fills in my user name and password and the login proceeds with no problem.The first time it happened, I figured I'd mistyped my password or something (the values don't fill in automatically in the pop-up window), but after five or six times now, I'm thinking it's something else.Just to let you know!

Dragoon Knight Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Ever since the update, the workaround for using the correct spelling of "color" in the colour tags has disappeared. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Strange: Sometimes name and password fields are empty. I have to either fill them or press Sign In to return to same page to appear. Does this have to do with Firefox or the Updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Ok, I've fixed the sign-in problem. I found a way to prevent the pop-up box which I remember most people saying they found annoying anyway.Dragoon do you mean using [ colour ]? I think I've fixed that too.btw, has anyone noticed speed differences the last few days? I'm thinking I may need to switch to a dedicated MySQL server as I'm guessing that is where the current bottleneck is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoon Knight Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 [colour=#005FFF]Yeah, that's what I was on about. Testing it out in this post, will preview now to see if it's working again.It is indeed! Splendid. :)As for the speed increases, I've not noticed anything different. Every time I want to do something - whether it be check all unread content, or simply reply to a thread - things take quite a while. On the old SMF boards, there was always a message at the bottom of the screen that let you know how long it took to load the page. While that's gone now, I can take an educated guess at it being much, much longer.For example, when I reply to a thread, the icons for Bold, Italic, Smilies and whatnot; they load afresh every time. There's no local caching from what I can see. It's as if every page I load in FED2k has an automatic Ctrl + F5 applied to it before it shows. In reality, I know that some of the content is saved (most of the stuff on the main page is stored locally once loaded for the first time), but when you ask the forum to do anything that requires thought, it slows to a crawl. I'm no expert in forum software, so I have no idea where the bottleneck would be, but something is taking too long. The sluggishness combined with the extra clutter / unused space is only making the overall impression of the site that of pained torpor.Gah, just previewed my reply again before posting - took a good nine seconds to load. :(EDIT: 12 seconds to post, 4 seconds to load up this edit pane.EDIT 2: 15 seconds to apply the edit.

SandChigger Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Ok, I've fixed the sign-in problem. I found a way to prevent the pop-up box which I remember most people saying they found annoying anyway.Yea! Thanks!btw, has anyone noticed speed differences the last few days? I'm thinking I may need to switch to a dedicated MySQL server as I'm guessing that is where the current bottleneck is.I've noticed it being a little slow, but I'm on an ISDN line at home.(I noticed in the Safari Activity listing that there are two GIFs in the custom theme (border_left and border_right) that are 209 KB each ... and all they are is solid black stripes. I'm assuming they get cached after the initial load, but they probably slow things down when you first come to the site again after a few days. Probably not even a hiccup for someone with really fast access.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've found the configuration option to enable the page load times, for the server processing side, and how many queries it did. If you do notice long load times take a look at that and see if it is really high. Dreamhost does offer a one week trial of the VPS service for MySQL servers so I might give it a go if the load times are getting really bad.

MrFlibble Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I've just noticed that my moderator's rights for both Dune II and Dune Editing boards are no longer in effect. Moreover, I was unable to edit my own locked topic (this one), because I locked it while still in moderator's status, and the forum software thinks a moderator locked my topic and I can't edit it anymore :( Please fix that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I unlocked your sticky thread, so you can edit it.Don't think I can do anything about mod status for those boards.At the bottom of Dune II board, it says "Forum Led By" and your name appears. Not sure what that means.On another subject.Go to members area.http://forum.dune2k.com/index.php?/members/First two members have no posts, but had time to upload pictures of themselves?

Gobalopper Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 Does it work now? I had to update permissions as I'm guessing they didn't survive the conversion from SMF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Gob- Not a priority, but if you could put a "Go" button next to the drop down menu at the bottom of threads, I would be eternally grateful.Or at least, grateful until next week.Or something.

Is it the all seeing eye or what does it represent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's the eye from Dune 2000. Maybe some settings in your browser/different browser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnoldo Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's the eye from Dune 2000.Thanks, wasn't sure if it was an occult symbol. Maybe some settings in your browser/different browser?Regarding browsers, I found that using the Opera web browser eliminates the eye in the web address bar. For the Firefox web browser, an add on called Hide Favicons eliminates the eye entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks, wasn't sure if it was an occult symbol. Just don't tell me you seriously suspected FED2k to be a secret meeting place for Egyptian cult practitioners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
