Thread: Site Upgrade (05-01-10) - Post Problems/Requests Here (READ INSTRUCTIONS IN POST #1)

I cannot find a way to delete adverts for stuff i have sold in the classified section.

This double posting is doing my head in, it only does it when I'm making a post with firefox, but not when I'm using IE. But the whole site looks crap on IE and perfect on firefox... aaaargh!

I'm using windows XP home edition btw.

It's doing my head in too (I'm using Safari on a mac) but it doesn't always do it. I've only ever used the quick reply and sometimes it's fine, others it double posts.

is it me or is the search function not working correctly, it is not bringing many results up

OK, there are lots of 'work in progress' things (as per my last post about the issues)... As regards areas appearing black with grey text, no, someone's not having a laugh - they're (there's two of us at it), making changes on the fly (rather than down the site and kick you all off to do it).

Oh, and cheeky advertising in signatures? Sort it out!!

Regards,

Rob.

That confused the living s**t right out of me bud - until I read a few more times and noticed the 'also' - please lets keep to one issue at a time (and I guess the "Yes search engine is terrible" bit before the "also" would therefore become extraneous).

Anyway, when you say you've tried to "post a picture from the net" does that mean you're uploading a file, or embedding a linked image (ie posting an internet address that ends with .jpg (or gif, bmp, png etc.)) - I don't understand what you mean by 'both ways' (in the context of uploading) - and where do you get the red exclaimation?

Regards,

Rob.

Hussar!!!I can read again!!(just the text size now please!)

Rob, like some of that CF at the top of the screen
i would like to have who has posted the latest post my subscribed posts back again.... please

The forum is certainly looking better than it did at first, although some times when I come in I cannot remember what is was like before!! Must be my age.

I miss the old forum.

I don't like how the smileys aren't on quick reply.
You can't view threads started by a member.
Classified section is all over the place.

Hi N8

Just to show we do listen and care you will now find that we have added the smileys back to the Quick Reply...

We are trying to get all the bit back on to system ASAP but not all of them are available yet. There are lots of changes still happening all the time and the software will bw upgraded a lot for the next short while as all the bugs are found and sorted..

I hope that we get the site as you all want it (and no were not going back to the old software

The video section is being a pain right now (Audi-Sport.tv) and this might take a few days.

If there is anything else please let us know and we will try and sort it out

Many thanks

Admin

I've still got the grey on black issue on the main forum listing. It may be as we still use IE6 at work? As soon as I go into any area, it goes back to as it was.

Yes, IE6 is crap for viewing the new upgrade, I just upgraded to IE8 and it looks normal again, normal being how it's viewed on Mozilla firefox.

Thankfully I am also "unmanaged" so I can download and install what I like. Time to reinstall firefox & chrome on the new machine.

We do have a bit of grey on black at the moment but it's better than black on black

In the thread lists I'd like to see more of a visual difference between the stickys and the normal threads. The one or two shade difference between the backgrounds is very missable.
And yes, I know it says "Sticky", but also very missable.

For a while now, the 'Music & Movies' Forum has a lock symbol () as opposed to the quote bubble symbol () which needs changing.

Can you tell I'm bored and have nothing better to do?

Isn't that because it's a locked forum, and the sub-forum level is unlocked (and therefore has the bubble)?

Yes, that would make sense, just looks odd with the other forums sporting the quote bubble.

Yes I can see how that could be contrued as a forum that isnt in use as such, should change it to the bubble if only for Joey lol

Any news on when it's going to be possible to scroll down to the 'lower' smilies which are still not accessible?

Trying to read the new forum on blackberry browser is almost impossibe, grey on black doesn't work.

When will a 'mobile' version of the site be available?

I am unable to edit my signature since site update. Am i just blind and stupid because it has been known before! Any help would be great. Regards Craig

When you say you are unable to edit your Sig, do you mean you've tried to edit it, and it's not working, or you don't know where the function for editing your sig is?

If it's the latter, scroll right to the top of the screen, and near the right hand side, you need to click on 'settings', then on the next page, about half down the left hand side is the edit sig function.

I actually knew this but im a complete nob so thanks mate!

Is it just me but when I click in the reply box & start typing, I then look up to see the text has gone down a line & is missing load of words, is as though that area hasnt finished loading or the box is refreshed, but the page had finished loading, strange cause using site exactly as before.

The issue reported above is still present & I have watched it delete my text, also I cant url link an image to insert into a post, although I've gone directly to the url & its shown up in IE straght away, so its something screwy with the site.

1) That's a feature, not a fault. The site's just trying to slow you down so someone else can have a go

Seriously though, it's a bit of a weird one that bud - just out of interest, have you seen it do the same thing in Firefox?

You might've noticed the site was up and down like the proverbial drawers last night - we were working on an issue which is causing the site to have a mahoosive go-slow each evening around 9-10pm. Once that's nailed we've got some more fixes/upgrades to integrate, and the AJAX stuff which is involved with replies and quick replies is going to get some work so you should see that sorted this week. I'll post again to let you know when it should (hopefully) be sorted.

2) Image embedding should work fine - the problem may well be related to .htaccess protection on the images you're trying to embed - more and more sites are preventing their content being embedded elsewhere using .htaccess and other tricks. If you upload an image to an Album on ASN, and embed it from there, does it show?



...That one seemed to work OK (that's a file on another server I have (completely separate from ASN) and not .htaccess (or other) protected).

Cheers,

Rob.

Any update on audisport.tv? I'm having probelms with it:

It took 3 days to be able to see the videos I uploaded even though on my home it said they had been watch 38 times.
On one of the videos I selected the larger embed size which now covers the data on the right of the page. I cannot edit the embed data (that I can see) so it's stuck that way. So I'll probably have to upload it again.
When I want to add tags to one video I have to re-enter the title and description in those boxes before I can save it.

I do like it though

Hi Rob and the Admin team; please could you action/respond to the pm's I sent in November and more recently on 6th January about support/updates needed in the detailing section please. I know you've been flat out so I can resend the content if needs be. Cheers, Rich.

Hi Rich...

PM on the way.

In short mate, there are a few issues with that one at the moment; but we're going to be working on settling down the Forum (& CMS / Blogs) before we attack that - mainly because we've got the two sites integrated and logistically it makes more sense to settle one bit down first, then do the other - just in case work in one area has an effect on the integration. There'll be an announcement (and trust me, there'll be bells, whistles, fireworks, the lot) when Audi-Sport.tv is fully functional...

Cheers,

Rob.

Over the last few days i receive this when i log on , again i am on mac using Safari _ firefox is the same (fault )

i still get duplicate posts.

SCREEN SHOT OF WHAT IS HAPPENING

Same here, I've had that message a few times also.

The site has been running turd for most of today, and I experienced the disappearing text thing whilst typing this out.

It seems we are posting to much as Rob has added this feature to both of our profiles

PS, I was using firefox when it happened.

Thanks for putting it so delicately jojo

Yes, we've been up and down a lot today and when we've been up we've been plagued with database errors. We're working on it at the moment... Hopefully we'll have it 90% improved in the next few hours...

Thanks and regards,

Rob.

Right, another little update...

As I'm sure some of you are aware, we've been down for quite a prolonged period tonight - hopefully it's been worthwhile and we should enjoy a bit more reliability and pace around here again, but of course we'll only know for certain when we've had some traffic through here, I'll keep you posted as far as I can as things develop...

Thanks for your patience and regards,

Rob.

You know how passionate I am about ASN! lol

Hey guys --

I keep getting "Searching has been disabled." - presume you already know about this? Also, I was gonna say, I'm in the trade so if you need help and I got some time, I'll have a peek or offer advice?

Dan

This user specific disappearing text thing is really doing my head in, Rob any ideas as to why this is happening mate, also any fix if known issue?

Only happened to me once Nige, I think it's when we start typing into the box before the screen is fully loaded up.

Infact, it's as I said it, I just tested it by hitting the refresh button, and started typing into the text box midway through loading, and the text disappeared.

Sorry I only caught half of that.............................................. ..lmfao

Its a new platform so the updates are being implemented along the way to sort these problems so patience is required...so am led to believe (thats a wink btw,I hope the updates sort them out as well as it looks like a normal un)

Ah damn I thought it wasnt permanent, you always have to spoil the fun (aka PITA)
