DonRocks Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 I just did a little testing with one of my other machines, and unfortunately the Delete Cookies button does not affect the outdated "www.donrockwell.com" cookies; it only affects the current ".donrockwell.com" cookies. You'll still have to either delete those cookies by hand, or clear all cookies. One thing I've noticed is that if I turn off my laptop (actually power it down), then turn it back on again, I'm signed on as an anonymous user.

edenman Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 A number of these bugs have been fixed...if you are still having problems (as listed above or otherwise), either re-post them here or PM me. I'm going to maintain an informal list of oustanding issues so we can work with invision to get back to the functional state of yore. Also, happy new years, everybody. Be safe.

DonRocks Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Okay I'm sending in a problem report to Invision about the PMs. Here's their response: Hello,This was a bug that was fixed in IPB 2.2.1, upgrading to the newest version will resolve the error. Thank you, So I'll request an upgrade. When we upgraded last time, the board was down for a half-hour or so. Cheers, Rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 We were upgraded to Invision Version 2.2.1 last night. In theory, the "Sending PMs" problem should be fixed, but who knows, and now there may be another set of new problems. Please continue to report here, especially anything you notice that's different than what you noticed on Friday. Cheers, Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 When viewing my own user profile, whatever scripting they've done to figure out how wide the three columns should be doesn't work under the Safari browser - the middle "Content" column ends up with the width of the entire window the first time, which causes a horizontal scrollbar. Subsequent reloads causes it to render somewhat narrower, but still maybe a hundred or so pixels too wide. This is browser-specific. It renders properly on the same machine under Firefox. It also doesn't occur when I visit other users' profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hersch Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 When composing a post, clicking the italics button inserts both the begin and end italics symbols, with the cursor positioned after the latter. Then I have to move the cursor with the left arrow key back one position to add the text between the begin and the end. A minor annoyance, certainly, but it used to work correctly: click the button, type the text, click the button again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ol_ironstomach Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Invision's response:"...I'm fairly sure I recall this being reported previously with a different browser, and that it's already being fixed, but if you post it the developers can confirm." I'll post directly to Invision's bug forum. I'm 99% certain that what is happening is that their image thumbnailing script is failing in the profile view. When it renders properly, a particularly wide image I linked is thumbnailed and shrunken to 67% of its original width. When it renders improperly, the image gets embedded at full width, along with a half-hearted scrollbar for that post. An uncommon but "normal" combination of things have to occur to trigger the bug (which happened to be satisfied by my recent Tokaji posting). Hillvalley, would you mind clicking on *my* profile and seeing if it renders correctly for you? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Response: "This is normal function in IPB 2.2.. Tell the user to highlight the text they wish to bold, italicize, or underline, and then click the button."That's kind of pathetic. It should work either way, just as it does in practically every other Windows application that involves text composition, such as Word, Word Perfect, Lotus Notes, Outlook, etc. When you want to italicize something already present, highlight and click. When you want to start italicizing what you're about to type, click to turn it on, type whatever it is, click to turn it off. Calling it "normal function" doesn't excuse poor design.

ol_ironstomach Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 It's been playing "groundhog day" with new postings for weeks now...seemingly at random, it'll take threads that I caught up with hours ago (sometimes a day ago?), previously marked with the grey "fully read" icon, and mark it as having new unread content. Just now, it did this to a thread where the last item is a message that I posted nearly four hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwertyy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I don't know if anyone's mentioned this already, but the site no longer sends me an email when I get a PM.

Old IT trick - no idea if it will work. Turn the option off. Save your changes. Exit the settings page. Go back in to the settings page. Turn the option back on. Save your changes. Sometimes the flag is set improperly even though it represents the desired setting, and toggling the option can kick it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Congratulations if you got something to go through as a PM that's 19,000+ characters long.I sent it to myself to make sure it went through. No problem. However, the board appears to not be able to accept attachments that have parentheses in. Or may be commas in. I didn't test all possibilities before settling on 'Ackerman 4 2' as a comma-less, paren-less attachment filename. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Blume Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Don't know where to put this, but NEVER experienced audio spam before on browser. When I clicked on my bookmark to return to this site, before logging in, I first heard loud sighing of some sort and then a bit of a television (?) promo on the new season of "The Hill" (not sure). Something about Lauren not getting a pass... I just deleted cookies...if not before the window with links to Italian recipes and the news about this weekend's soccer match changed to Tractorhouse.com. Happened to anyone else before?

Spiral Stairs Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 The site is intermittently forgetting that I am logged in. I am reluctant to delete my cookies because (i) deleting all cookies introduces a world of inconvenience for me, because much of my online activity depends on them; and (ii) I am just a caveman, frightened and confused by the prospect of trying to figure out how to delete specific cookies (and figuring out which ones to delete). I guess I'd rather deal with logging in more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ...frightened and confused by the prospect of trying to figure out how to delete specific cookies... No need to fear, if the site was working well for you before. Don's recent tweak appears to use the same cookies as last week, so you can safely use the "Delete cookies set by this board" button mentioned upthread by hillvalley. You'll find it on the topmost page, nestled just above the "Board statistics" section. Close all other dr.com windows before resetting cookies.
