Bug Reporting Thread

Using Firefox.Logged in as minnemooseusIn my minnemooseus profile, time zone set to "Display times in the time zone of your local computer". Time zone name set to "ET (US)"Session start, page loaded, and current time listings are my actual local times. The time stamps on messages are ET (US).I have not done any profile changes since version 2.0 came on-line. When I first came to earlier today, no dates/times were displayed anywhere. Now everything seems normal. Topic namesstill not wrapping for me.Moose

Oh, that title. I keep my browser window wide enough that it didn't need a second line -- when I narrow my window, it doesn't wrap for me, either.

Hmmm. They wrap in IE, not in FF. I'll see what it takes to make it work in both.

I just went to reply to a post and although my name is up on the board was asked to log in. I did so. Didn't see any alternatives.Earlier I came into the forum without logging in, as an anonymous guest, and without logging in found my name up on the board soon after.This is a little different but similar to the problem I'd been having for months already: I'd be reading the board logged out, and after some number of page clicks -- half a dozen, a dozen? -- I'd be sent to the log-in page. At the top of the page, however, there was a link to "logout," so I got in the habit of clicking on that instead of logging in. Then I could read again for a while before I'd get the log-in page again. Every time I got that page I would lose whatever I'd been reading and would have to start over. I don't know if I should be describing this old problem now, but it could be that attempts to correct it are what have caused the new problem of my being asked to log in although I'm already logged in.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The problem is likely too many cookies. Go to the bottom of your profile page and click on the "Click here to delete all cookies set by this discussion board" link. You'll be asked to log in again, should be the last time.

For some reason none of the posts have a date or time stamp for me anymore. That is everywhere, even in the replied to on XXXXXXX section.ABE: This the the footer of the previous message: Edited by bob_gray, : Added content

1: what browser and operating system are you using?2: try changing your profile timezone to using the board time settings.I'm thinking that maybe some browsers don't make the time info available. I see time info with firefox, IE, mozilla. I haven't tried others.

Possibly you don't have Javascript enabled in your browser? If not, then you'll have to go your profile and select to use the discussion board's timezone.Nwr is also correct that the problem could be browser specific. Let us know which browser you're using and we can tell you how to enable Javascript, if possible for that browser.

The activity meter on the new board seems stuck on minimum activity. There have been multiple posts today in some threads, and the AM hasn't made a move.

Reporting this briefly here for completeness.I have been contacted by a user who is unable to login. It seems that his member info is messed up.Full details in the Private Administrators Forum (to protect the privacy of the person concerned).

On second thoughts, I won't report the indicated problem in PAF. That's because PAF has disappeared into thin air.For details, without the name:I shall call the user "xxx". When I look up "xxx", it shows that name as an alias. When I check the profile, it says:The user ID nnnn does not exist.where nnnn is the actual user number.Looking up under Board Central also says that the user does not exist.His email indicated that he has created another account. He is having difficulty logging into that. I suspect the problem in this case is in his browser, rather than at the site. I was able to login as this alternate member.Incidently, the profile information no longer has a visible password. So how does an administrator help a person who is having password problems, and can't get mail from the site that tells him the password. (Note, this is a hypothetical, since it isn't the problem in this particular case).

It's back. Thanks for pointing that out. Percy probably just fixed it.Maybe your link would have worked even if the forum was not showing up
in the display. But it is now back to showing up.

I am using Firefox 1.0.7 on Win XP. Java is enabled. When I looked at the "JavaScript Console" I had a series of error messages that all looked like this: And The line varies but the messages don't.I just compared to my other machine and this version of Firefox is _very_ old. I'm going to try upgrading.
