Bug Reporting II

Suzy seemingly posted message 121 to the "The Foundations of the Debate" topic. I saw her name listed on the All Topics index page as having posted #121 there, but when I went to look at the message, I got a "no such message exists" type message.As I type this, message 121 is still credited to Suzy at her message index page.Archer Opterix now has message 121 at the topic in question.Suzy, did you post a message there, that has failed to appear or has disappeared?Adminnemooseus

I did a rebuild of the "The Bible:..." forum, at "Board Central". The problem topic, at least for now, is displaying properly in the topic index.Also did rebuilds for all the other forums while I was at it.Adminnemooseusps to other admins: The "General discussion of moderation procedures" topic is now at part 8. Update your signature links if needed.

When I've had such problems in the past (using Mozella, I think), I recall that it has helped to click on the avatar (even if you're displaying the old one), which gets you a full sized version of the new avatar. This process seems to force an update of the cached version. You should then get the correct display on the various message pages.Adminnemooseus Edited by Adminnemooseus, : "Cach" to "cache" in subtitle.

Fixed, I think. Removed link from topic title. Posted test message, complete with grammar error in subtitle. This seem to be working correctly.Adminnemooseus

1) It just made me re-log in, even though everywhere showed I was already logged in.2) Server seems to be operating slow. Why does it seem to do this whenever I'm trying to get a bunch of adminning done? Also, maybe this is related to mpb1's 3 duplicate PNT's.3) There has been at least 2 instances of messages being posted but not actually making it to the topic page. They do show up on the "All Topic" page. See http://EvC Forum: Glenn Morton hypothesis: The Flood could ONLY have happened 5 million+ years ago and EvC Forum: Is evolution of mammals finished?. My subsequent messages took over the previously used but not posted message number. Related to #2?4) I merged the MartinV account into the Martin account. The message number for Martin seems correct, but they do not show up at Martin's message index. I tried doing a "Update Member Message Lists" at "Board Centeral", but kept getting a "Internal Server Error" message. Related to #2?5) I'm currently at the veterinary clinic, and there's a really annoying whiney dog. OK, this one's not Percy's problem.AdminnemooseusAdded by edit: OK, Martin's message index now seems correct.Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.

I've now done a "Rebuild Forum Data" three atimes for the "Is It Science?" forum. It fixes the problem, at least for the moment.I'm also having the problem that a message will post, but the page posted from will not change from the message creation window to the posted message. But the message is indeed posted.I also tried to do a message edit at the topic in question, of one of my own messages. It just wouldn't work at all. I actually went to the "Board Central" profile edit pages and checked to see if some wise guy/gal admin had turned off my editing privileges.Adminnemooseus

ArchArchitect posted message 20 at the "The Bible was NOT man made, it was Godly made" topic. I briefly saw it, and then it was gone (no message 20 at all). Now, a message by Ringo is message 20.I was doing an edit on ArchArchitect's message 18 when this happened. Perhaps that has something to do with the glitch.AdminnemooseusAdded by edit: At least for the moment, message 20 shows up as being from ArchArchitect at ArchArchitect's message index.Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.

The problem is, the date and time of the message's original creation is in the date format and time zone of the reader, as set up in the individual profiles.On the other hand, the "edited by" notes are reported in the date format and the time zone of the person doing the editing.For the date, I see the U.S. format of "5-10-2007" (M-D-Y) and the European(?) format of "10-5-2007" (D-M-Y). Despite the fact that I personally use the M-D-Y format, I do recognize that the D-M-Y makes better sense.For the time zone thing - Suppose the message creator is in a zone 2 zones to the west of you. It is 4:00 pm for you, but 2:00 pm for him. He creates a message at 4:00 pm (your time) and then edits it an hour later. The message creation time (on your browser) is listed as 4:00 pm (your time zone time) and the edit time is listed as 3:00 pm (his time zone time). Seemingly, the message was edited an hour before its original creation. That's the situation I'm seeing - Message created at 1:00 pm and edited at 12:03 pm.What ya say about having everyone on GMT?AdminnemooseusEdited by Adminnemooseus, : New subtitle.

The above is his quote within another quote box. Both at the source and here, the code isn't working correctly, and I don't see why.Also, being suspended doesn't seem to stop me from posting or editing, although it does stop me form doing anything at "Board Central".Not as suspended as I thought,
Adminnemooseusps: Nevermind about the dBcode problem. I now see that there is a backslash where there should be a normal slash. Let's try it with that fixed:

Fixed - Did a forum data rebuild for the "The Bible:..." forum. Currently doing same for all the other forums, just in case.Adminnemooseus

The problem happens for at least 2 topics. After new message is posted, the page will not reload, although the message does post. Will not update on "All Topics" without a forum data rebuild at "Board Central".AdminnemooseusEdited by Adminnemooseus, : Change ID.

Everything looks normal to me.Something wrong with the date and time stuff in your computer?A...Moose...

Randman and I have been exchanging e-mails.His has lost track of his password, and the password retrieval system does not work for him. You get this message:

Sorry, we cannot process your request because more than one person is using that email address.

As he suspected, and I confirmed, it is because of linked accounts using the same e-mail address. I got the same message when I tried to retrieve the Minnemooseus password. There is the work around of changing to two addresses, but still this seems to be a bug.Adminnemooseus (ret.)
