Post technical questions and issues here. Yes, the layout is slightly different!

I turned compatibility ON because of a cut/paste and Java problems that I don't have with compatibiity off. And while I'm reasonably computer competent, I'm not sure how to set up side by side browsers...

 

It's pretty easy, actually. You just download and install Firefox. Then when you want to use it online you just click the icon like you would any other program. I've been online using IE and Firefox in the same session. You can see a bunch of help topics on Firefox here. (I'm assuming you have admin control over the PC you are using. If it's a work/school PC you might not be able to do this.)

 

I got this a couple minutes ago using Firefox 16.0.1

An exception occurred: Mysqli prepare error: MySQL server has gone away in /var/www/html/library/Zend/Db/Statement/Mysqli.php on line 77

They were really hanging for me too at that time. Firefox kept showing "connecting" at the top of the tab.

 

Same as DG Bro it took awhile to connect i'm also using Firefox

 

I looked in the server error log but didn't see anything unusual around that timeframe.

 

I love getting notifications that somebody quoted my post... three weeks ago.

What does this system do, feel bad if you don't wake up to a new notification so it stockpiles a few for rainy days?

 

Yes. Yes it does.

 

When I make a tag, I'm not sure what happens, but nobody gets them.

Example: If I were going to tag Grimmy, I would do it this way

[Grimby]
Is this correct?


i

 

It has to be the whole username. For Grimby, it would be @[Grimby the Hutt] (without the brackets).

 

Is there a set limit to how many tags can be in a post?

 

I think the upper limit is 10, due to the way the add-on is coded.

 

Search function isn't working.

 

There were some error messages in the server log about the search process failing. I've emailed Grimby and Grahame to let them know.

 

Probably connected, but I can't view my own (or anyone else's) recent posts.

 

Looks like search is working again. The nasty error messages in the log have gone away as well.

 

Nobody is getting alerts from tags from me.

Also, every time I go to the homepage, I get a "Stop running this script?" message on my computer. It only happens on the homepage; no where else.

 

Can you post an example of how you are doing the alerts?

Also - for the script issue - what browser/version are you using?

 

Every day when I come to the main forum page for the first time, all the forums are collapsed and I have to manually expand the ones that I want access to. Is there a way to save which forums I want expanded and which collapsed so I don't have to do that every time I log in?

I know I asked this about a month or so ago, and someone said you guys were working on it. Just wondering about an update?

 

I use Internet Explorer 8 with a Windows XP computer.

Tagging example:

JediFalcon

 

Rew - right now there isn't a way to do that. I think Grimby was looking for something but I know Darth Real Life has kept him busy lately. We've also had some issues here (search and memory problems) that have to take priority.

Rainbow - not sure on the tagging. I know other people have had issues with it. However I've been getting alerts fine. As far as the script goes, it might just be something that doesn't play nicely with XP. I'm on Win 7 and haven't had any issues like that. The script might be related to the member display section on the right of the main page as that's the only place that occurs. One thing to check - if users are having a problem getting your alerts make sure they haven't turned off alerts for tagging. It's set in Alert Preferences under Settings in the user profile.
