Forum Bug Report

Cannon

I’ve observed similar behaviour several times. I did the following.

1. Replied to a topic
2. A minute, perhaps less (this might be the key - I’m thinking throttling behaviour), I edit my post. When I hit submit my original post disappears.

Hmmm… Thanks for the feedback Cannon, I’ll try to look at the code this weekend.

Oh and btw, I might get permission to give T SP a trade good simulator

I just would need to translate some things, the goods can be translated easily by search & replace feature of the text editor

Are you interested in?

FriendlyFire

That’s an interesting app, but just out of curiosity, doesn’t FLCompanion already do the same thing?

Either way, I’d need to make sure the code is safe to use here.

Preservation of indentation in```
tags doesn’t work anymore. This seems to be a recent bug - worked fine a few weeks ago.

The PM function is very shitty. It seems that you can’t send the pm once you vist a other site (even in a other tab)…

FriendlyFire

@M0tah: I’ll look into that.

@Bas: I haven’t had that kind of problem at all.

Bas

had it at least twice…today…and yesterday or so. But I also have taken A LOT of time to write the pm and maybe even idled at the window for some hours >_> ^^

Idling is more like it. There are session timeouts all over the place which could cause that.

Bas

In overall I hate this new forums software

? Offline

Btw, may be i lost answer, but…

… forum search does not working.

Is it feature against spam bots or bug?

Bas

Another bug…Preview doesn’t work - Message “Lost connection to server”

Ok…this time it works ^
Maybe it has to do with idling again.

concerning the forum search, here is a search link for “sur file”:

http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/search.php?term=sur+file&andor=any&forum[]=all&searchin=both&uname=&%3D%22sortby%22=p.post_time+desc&since=0&submit=Search[/code]

notice how the sortby var gets screwed up, its working with this link:

[code]http://the-starport.net/freelancer/forum/search.php?term=sur+file&andor=any&forum[]=all&searchin=both&uname=&sortby=p.post_time+desc&since=0&submit=Search[/code][/code]

I first had a heck of a time getting new password, but that was nothing to my friend, not being able to get past the code generator, its only 4 digits and easy to read but wouldn’t accept any codes we put in.

Submitting Posts seems to take forever, yet the submission has already occured

This happened a few times in a row to me, so I suppose we can call it an issue:

After I submit a message, the screen remains as if it is waiting to connect to the server, but when I open up The Starport in a new tab, the message appears to already have been submitted. (This caused me to double post a few times.)

This issue seems to exist after there was some downtime of the site some weeks ago.

EDIT I also made a specific post about this issue, before I noticed this Bug Thread — and that post has been submitted 5 times, which illustrates the issue. Am I the only one experiencing this??

EDIT Mods please remove those 5 posts!

There was a problem with the server and it should be better now.

Can you confirm?

If this message comes through I suppose it could count as a confirmation

EDIT It did, and very smoothly So, the issue seems to be resolved. Thanks!!

I can’t edit my signature. Sometimes it works with simple words like “Test” but most times it says:

“Sorry, you don’t have the right to edit this user’s info.”

The Preview-Button doesn’t show any result too.
I have tried it with Opera 9.64 and Firefox 3.5.2 with the same results.

Yup, same here.
