CPAPtalk House Keeping Bug Report Thread

[mindy]

I don't know if anyone has already reported the following two items:

1. When I get an email that there's a new posting for the "Little Laryssa" thread, I click on the link and it wants me to sign in again (I have mine checked to always sign in). First I thought it might be that I had cleared out tracking and such, but it is still happening even when I haven't cleared out. In addition, if I do try to sign in and then go back to email and click on the link, I still get the same message. I don't have that problem with any other thread. I don't want to lose the notify emails by not going to the thread.

2. Not uncommonly when I go to read a thread from the first cpaptalk page it will partly load and then seems to get into some kind of problem. I end up having to go to task manager to cancel IE7. This doesn't happen with other sites I use (although this is the only forum I've joined).

I still can't edit my post on the newbie thread as I get the internal error I posted about yesterday on this thread.

To add a bit to what Mindy said in her last post -- I have that same issue, not with the Lyarissa post, but others.....
I've been getting emails about a "new post" in older threads, I usually have to log in (if that works), and I find that it's an ancient thread that hasn't been posted in for months.....so for some reason it thinks there's a new post and sends me a notice.

I use the FF browser v3.0.6 presently - if it takes IE to make the site work, the site's generally not worth visiting!!!!

cheers

I think the problem with these old posts, the Laryssa thread in particular, is that they have been brought to the top of the list by spam. I have deleted several spam posts in the last few days. At least 4 of these were on the Laryssa thread. Once the spam gets posted you get the e-mail for a new post to the thread. Then I delete it and when you check the thread it just shows all the old stuff. Don't know why but there was a lot of spam for the last few days.

That may be the case but the problem I'm having is different than that. I can't get into the thread via the email link at all.

if the link is to the new post (not the thread but the actual post) and the post is gone, then the software doesn't probably know how to handle it

but there are still problems in chat with phantom/invisible chatters, language censors and who knows what else - probably the underlining of chat after links still

and I haven't tried this morning yet, not in a rush after gumby posted his internal server error thread, but I would like to add 2 things to the "where a cpap newbie should start" - my first post there where I keep everything - and I haven't been able to. At least I have it saved

Regarding the chat, there is a version 4 i've putted back online (chat4/flashchat.php). I was waiting on what people had to say about it and tell me which version they like better. This version should be a clean one as the old one with the old bugs. But as it seem it looks like we'll go back to version 4.

Furthermore when a page is not found you should get a message saying "Page not found" and then it will redirect you to the main page.
ex: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=38053&p=346645#p346645 (post does not exists)

To me don't worth the time to test further the chat version 4... as I said in the post immediately after you posted the new chat link, it has same errors and some worst than the version 5.0.10... just MHO.. others mileages can be different.

Hey Mikosiko, what do you think of this? http://www.phpfreechat.net/demo#
I think's it's pretty good It's ajax and that meanb javascript and html and we don't need to worry about flash installation and stuff.

looks not bad... I will suggest you to install and open it to the people to test... we can give you feedback after that.


only thing that could be a problem for you is this (extracted from the installation requirements)
"GoDaddy (offering installation of phpfreechat but it seams that mysql container is now working)"

Been working with Mikosiko one tuning up the chat, miko found a lot of fixes to the problem we encountered. There is a few things that still need fix such as 1) underline, 2)the backward meaning of "mute"/sound setting etc..
