• Thank you to Carol and Steve Bowman, the forum owners, for our new upgrade!

Having problems with the new site?

I was unable to log on, earlier today. Firefox for Mac, timed out. I think all of these problems are normal for changing software. I've been a part of that several times in the past, and there are always problems with changing systems.
 
Anyone having problem posting? The character length is long so there should be no problems. If there are, please post here so we can have the lead tech at vBulletin take a look. Thank You!
 
A glitch I don't mind living with: I've got a red notification flag on the top bar (for having been quoted by someone in a response) that simply won't go away. I've viewed it, followed the link, clicked the dismiss button, etc. It just keeps coming back when I refresh the page or click on a new page. (This is not happening with private message notifications. They process normally and disappear once I've read the message.)
 
Good morning All..


I am still not able to access some things! Sorry, this is frustrating for me, but must be extra frustrating for you too!!! :(


Greetings from The Netherlands!
 

Hi Mere dreamer - I don't see any red flags - can you post a screenshot?

Aelfgyva can you email me or PM me?​
 
If you click on dismiss it should clear it. Let me know if it doesn't. Mine do.
 
Deborah, did you receive a private message from me today? I'm not seeing an outgoing message in my records and am beginning to wonder if PMs are working for me at all.
 
Nope but it's a glitch that I have to fix. When they moved all the content to the new updated version it took more than 3,600 PM's for me with it. I have to go in and delete them by hand. Page by page. So if people are trying to PM me - it's better to email me - Debbie.Barr4@aol.com. It's going to take some time to clean it up. If you guys are also having problems - check to see your PM count. That could to why it's not allowing more.
 
Okay, this is getting very odd. Nothing I do in the messaging area sticks.


I send a message ... nothing happens except a screen refresh to an empty message box.


I delete an old message,... it goes through the step by step confirmation that, yes, I really, really do want to send it to the trash. "Okay. It's in the trash now!" Only it hasn't moved anywhere. It's right where it always was in the inbox or sent box, and the trash is empty.


I click dismiss on a notification and it confirms the delete, then the next time I open the screen, there's the same notification again, as if I'd never clicked anything.


The only thing that works so far is that when I read an incoming PM it shows as read.
 
It could be your browser, are you using a third party browser like Chrome or Firefox? If you are then open the forum in the default Windows Explorer and see if you can delete the message from there.
 
Hi Mere Dreamer - I have forwarded your comments to the IT tech - I'll keep you posted.
 
I am probably just repeating what Mere Dreamer and Hydrolad wrote a month ago, but when I go to post, in the "preview" it shows me as guest. I have to copy my comments, log out, even though the bar at the top shows me as logged in, log back in, re-find the thread, and paste to post. It is very tedious. And, I sure do hope that "guests" will not be allowed to post in the future.


Also, maybe I have not found it yet, but . . . I am missing the italics and such.

I am using Chrome. Explorer is vile and makes my computer choke and gag on normal websites as I wait for them to load. (not a fan) If I get desperate, I'll try it though.

I'm new and have not posted yet. There seems to be some glitches.


In my Profile, I am coded as "Rep" and it won't let me change it.


I got a "Welcome" message from Deborah when I registered, but I was unable to send a response message. I tried 3 times.


When I click on a link in a post (to another thread) I only get "404 ERROR".


Just letting you know what I've experienced so far :-) (I'm using Firefox on a PC)
 
Hi Isha, welcome to the forum. Thanks for letting us know, I'm sorry that you're experiencing problems. We've only just upgraded the forum software very recently and there seems to be a lot of glitches and bugs to iron out, but we have got someone working through it gradually, so all we can do is sit tight and wait and hopefully it won't be long before everything is running smoothly again.
 
Hi Isha,


Welcome. I checked the control panel - your user title was Rep for some weird reason but you are registered as a member. So in other words your status is "Registered". The reason you cannot PM me is when we moved to the new software, it brought back to life over 3,500 PM's with it in my inbox. There is a limit of how many one user can have and well...since my PM box is used to welcome new members...I have way over the limit. The IT tech says I need to delete them page by page. Each page only shows 10 PM's. SO everyday I try to kick out 5-10 pages only to have to delete them again in the trash. Is there a life vest icon? I'm drowning.


In the meantime - enjoy the forum, feel free to report glitches and have fun. The team is still trying the come up for air and a few cannot even get on. Those of you who made it! Help each other out. Band together. And if someone is an IT tech and knows anything about vBulletin icloud - things we seem to not be doing right. Drop us a line.


My private email is Debbie.Barr4@AOL.COM
 
Thank you ChrisR and Deborah,


Just to be clear, I didn't mean to sound 'complaining', I was just pointing out my site experiences so far because I knew you were having problems so I just wanted to let you know what I found on my end.


Hang in there with the tech probs. Ugh! Wish I could help but I'm totally tech clueless :-(
 
Thank you for helping Isha...we appreciate it very much. We are now in the cloud....which came with no directions and likes to skip and jump around. LOLOLOL


My PM box is now empty $P$ Chris saved me and found the delete all button deep within the cavern of the main control panel. It's a BEAST! Taz


Anyway - thank you again. The staff are all volunteers and deep into our lives at the same time. Every little bit helps. hug3.gif
