Fear not! AKA more site work...

[Bonsai Nut]

Something about the New Year makes me want to brush up the site... I just wanted to let people know I have updated all the site software, fixed the most notorious bugs on my bug list, and am 'experimenting' with new features. If you see the site behaving badly... it is probably something I am testing.

I will let you all know when I am done...

[EDIT] Ok I am going to stop making site changes for a bit to let things settle and allow me to work through any possible issues due to my changes [/EDIT]

Thank for all your hard work mr.nut!

Thanks for all you do.

When I sign in and check the Remember Me I often have to resign in again, particularly when going to New Post from initial home page. Just a nit.

Thanks again and have a blessed New Year

Can you confirm this is happening NOW? I thought I had killed this bug in the last couple of days...

Could you (1) sign in on the home page (hit remember me) and then hit the F5 key. You should stay signed in.

(2) Go to the forums page. You should stay signed in. Hit the F5 key. You should stay signed in.

(3) Go to any thread. You should stay signed in. Hit the F5 key. You should stay signed in.

Let me know if you get logged out, and at what part of this process you get logged out.

Thank you!!

... I just wanted to let people know I have updated ...

I just want you to know you are very much appreciated for it. Probably most will never let you know just how much. So, thanks bunches. Being a new-b that's as close as I can come to putting it in bonsai terms. Hopefully many others will weigh in with a flood of the proper terms.

The only problem I've had in the last couple of days was in writing replies in threads. I am not able to edit the thread I quoted, and one time, it carried over a comment I made to a different person. It's no biggie, though. I'm sure everyone got the idea I was trying to get across.

Thanks for the work you do Head Nut! I've noticed that your icon no longer shows up next to an OP's icon when scrolling through threads. That was helpful because it let me know if I had responded to that thread or not.

We'll have to let the dust settle. I was actually doing a lot of work on the site while it was still online. I didn't want to turn it off when there were 100 people online The problem with keeping it online, however, is that while I was making changes you could very well have experienced strange problems. You might have been composing a post, while I was updating the site in the background, then you went to post... and suddenly the site thought you were logged off, or the cached version of the site (on your PC) wasn't the same as the site on the server. Believe it or not, I experience the same things, and it can be complicated when I am trying to debug something while the site is live. I have to save the changes to the site, close my browser, purge my browser cache, then come back to the site and relog in - because otherwise I won't see a clean reload of the site. It's all good once you get used to it... but for people who are using the site it can cause some temporary confusion

It SHOULD still be there. It is something I did not change. I still see my icon on threads that I have responded to...

Take a second look and see if it is still there. If not, I will want to work with you on debugging it because I agree that is a nice feature.

Admin,
Seems like the pages are no longer loading as slowly as they were. Thanks!

Thanks for all.

Same here as with Ryan.

No such luck. I just noticed the problem with the "Forum member in stress" thread. It also doesn't appear with this announcement either.

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Hit F5 and see if you can see them now...

 

[Redwood Ryan]

I'm on mobile currently and nothing has changed. I'll check the desktop version in the morning.

 

[JoeR]

The only problem is sometimes on my cell phone, when I search something like 'Cherry' that I know can be found in previous threads, it says "No results found". Then I search it a second time and it works.

Idk.

Also, I only use my phone so I am not sure if it happens on PC.

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Hey Ryan; In a couple of hours when I have time to work on the site, I am going to log in using your account just to see if the issue is with your account, or perhaps with something to do with your system. If I can log in with your account and cause the problem on my work PC, that will tell me a lot.

I'll send you an email when I do this because it will require me to reset your password. I do not have access to peoples' passwords for security reasons.

 

[Bonsai Nut]

The plot thickens. I don't know what the problem is... but it appears to be related to your hardware (perhaps Internet cache?). I just logged into the site using your account, and I see the avatar in the forum listing just fine:



By the way - this screenshot was not from my work computer (since I know the site appears fine from that computer). Just to be doubly safe, I logged in to the site on a separate computer that I don't use for any site work, so it didn't have any Internet content cached, and had not logged into the site in months...

I have sent you an email with your new password. You can reset it to your old password or just leave it the way it is...

Everything works great for me.
Thank you for all of the fine work but most of all thank you for the forum.
