New Forum Bugs - July 1st, 2008, 8:10 pm (UTC +10hr)


Recommended Posts

Hey,

 

Just thought i'd help the mod/admin/techies out by just compiling a list of known bugs/fixes needed. Please note this isnt a demanding list - i just thought it would be handy to have a list when you do get the time to start fixing them.

 

As you fix them, Moderators/admins - can you add FIXED after it ?

 

[color=#FF4000][size=150]FIXED[/size][/color]

Please Be thankful - the team spend most of the past few nights working tirelessly to get TIF online =D> Thanks Guys

 

Welcome back!

 

 

 

Thank you all for posting bugs and irregularities.

 

 

 

We hope you understand that the Tech Administrators haven't had much sleep the last days, and have been working their behinds off to get the forums back up and converted. They will look into everything mentioned on this topic, and fix the things that need to be - but not within the first hour. Please give them some time to go through the most important things first, and have some patience. Also I believe they will need some sleep in the near future. ;)

 

 

 

Good news is that you can post again, and while you're here; check out the news handy things to do with your profiles.

 

 

 

Keep up posting, and thank you for being patient.

Hey you Tipiter's!

 

 

 

We are still working hard on getting the forum back up just as soon as possible. However, it has come to our attention that due to technical difficulties with database recovery we may be looking at a potential 3 month roll back.

 

 

 

It is possible to minimize your personal data loss (ie. blogs etc.) If you need to backup any information, use Google cache. Click this link:Google Cache

 

 

 

When you find a page you want to get to, click on Cache, not the link itself. If you need to find anything in particular, put a keyword before "site:forum.tip.it"

 

 

 

Best wishes everyone!

 

 

 

Sincerely, Tip.It Administration and Staff

 

 

 

 

But on a more serious note, please be patient you guys. As several other Staff members have already stated, our techies and Staff members have worked extremely hard to restore the forums. I'm sure a few of them need to catch up on some sleep and then we can start chipping away at sorting through some of the kinks here and there. We will try our best to make the forums look and feel a bit more like the old ones so hang in there!

 

 

 

 

 

Feel free to add more

I am working to bring back the old topics. The issue is sync, not an actual problem with the data. Please bear with me while this is fixed.

 

 

 

As for the other minor issues like smilies not showing up, that will of course be fixed. After everything is settled in and work in the background stops, you should notice a considerable increase in speed.

You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now?

Somehow i lost my forum account and had to re-create it. I don't know if there's anyone else that had or will have the same problem.

 

 

 

If your account was created in the past 3 months then it would have gone along with all posts. This is unfortunate but there was never else that could have been done.

I have to say the look of this forum is horrible, maybe it's a bit more user friendly but it need to get the old "look" back.

 

 

 

Also I can't find anymore bugs then the ones you stated, thanks for bringing the forum back to life :).

 

 

 

Edit: I think the rollback is even longer then 3 months :shock:, I'm back at 1,1k Post count and I had this really old signature I used long ago (Edited away though).

At the moment the main focus is getting the board fully up and running - and I'm sure once that is done we'll be given some more themes to apply to the forums as we so choose. I don't particularly like the current look of the forums however you do get used to it.

Well, I'm none to sure if this is the right forum or not, but I was directed here in my own topic for a suggestion.

 

 

 

All old topics need to be removed!

 

 

 

I didn't know how else to word it, but having 10+ pages of topics, and only 3 actual ones you can view makes things very messy, in my opinion.

Quality posting at its finest.

This is what is being worked on currently - All the old topics will be viewable shortly, please be patient and hold on while we get the forum fully up and running.

I think the old forums looked better and were MUCH easier to use, it'll take me a while to get used to this one. Also, when will we be able to view old topics again? Any information would be much appreciated. :thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Noooo.... My avatar is back to my old one. :cry:

You'll be able to view them as soon as they load for you. That is to say, right after the problem is fixed. Definitely not before they load.

Did you change your pass in the last 3 months ? if so - use old password
