RS Upgrade Bug Reporting

[Reefmack]

..... In general settings there used to be an option to automatically subscribe to any thread you post in or not. Although by default it is enabled ( the way I like it ) others may want the option to turn it off....

There is still the option to turn off the default auto-subscribe.

Eddie tell Travis what browser you are using & version level - that always helps debug website problems.

Newest version on Firefox.

hmmm weird... I use IE 8, but I have a copy of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.10 & it's working for me... maybe Travis can figure it out...

Do you get the same from the one of the main forum pages - like this?

Red Sea Max Owners Club

Are you using the new beta version 4? click on Help on top bar and then About.. & it should show you...

Glenn - On the RSM forums, I get all pages. Only on the new posts tab I do not. I'm using Firefox 3.6.13

hmmm I did just notice one thing, in my, in Firefox browser, the top left Toolbar function is labeled "Today's Posts"... in IE it's labeled "New Posts"

Glenn - Yep, they are on default. I even tried "show all posts" on the thread cut-off setting and thats where I left it.

Hi Travis,

When I used to log in before, I would use the NEW POSTS tab to look at new posts. Well since the upgrade, it doesn't show all the new posts anymore. For example, Today I logged in and I had 266 new posts and when I clicked the NEW POSTS tab, it only showed me 78 posts - 4 pages. Before it would show me all of the posts I missed and then say, "These threads below have not been updated since your last visit" and continue on with those posts...

OK thanks for the patience guys... I did some investigating and here's what I think is going on. You guys are getting different results for this because the links to "new posts" are different at the top of the header and below your avatar on the left side of the home page. Since the URLs are different there's a discrepancy in which posts get pulled depending on where you click. I need to investigate the discrepancies further to find out which link should be used in both places. Adding it to the list.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for looking into it. I believe I got the same result when I clicked on either one. Top of header and below my avatar. This morning I clicked on the one in the header. Tomorrow morning, I'll click on the one below my avatar and report back here...

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

I always click on the one at the top labeled New Posts... http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

I get the same 25 pages of 500 new posts whether I use the link under my avatar (home page) or any of the other methods.

 

[redsea reefer]

I don't get all new posts either way..........................

 

[Reefmack]

Hi Travis. Is the webshots site blocked by our software? We have a member trying to post his images from Webshots and even a direct link won't open:

http://image76.webshots.com/176/5/69/14/2106569140074923220wWlZcS_ph.jpg

Glenn just found that putting the URL in a new window/tab will open the picture. All I can think of is that the site is blocked?

 

[redsea reefer]

Hi Travis, This is what I'm talking about about. See how it says 202 new posts. Then I click on it and go to the 4th page, it stops at P.4 65 posts and no arrow.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Travis - question... on the home page under my Avatar is a link "New post" and at the top of the page in the bar... on the forum page is a link "New post" when I right click on them... they use different code... could this be related to Eddie problem?

here two 2 different ones used... by the two New Post

http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/...e=vBForum_Post

http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/....php?do=getnew

also... if I copy either of this to a firefox browser... I don't see the > but don't know if I am on to something or not... thought I would share with you though...

hi travis, this is what i'm talking about about. See how it says 202 new posts. Then i click on it and go to the 4th page, it stops at p.4 65 posts and no arrow. I've used both "new posts" tab with the same result.

 

[nanoreefing4fun]

Eddie - Hopefully Travis can figure it out... I still think it's related to the two buttons being coded to do two different things... if you right click on them & select properties, you will see one (at the top in the bar line) is

http://www.reefsanctuary.com/forums/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

and the other is...

The one under my Avatar & I think.... everyone's (not just yours) Avatar is "incorrect" or does not = show you all new post...
