As a new "orger", I just want to take a moment to say how impressed and pleased I am with this entire site! I know this is a great deal of work for you and the other "mods" but I have found that I am enjoying this site as a twice daily, guilty pleasure! Thank you for enabling us to share the wonders of Prince! | |

Hi Ben...nice work. I do notice a performance improvement.
Hey...maybe you're tired of hearing about this, but the login needs to stay on whatever page you're on, not go to "My org" or any other preset page. I know you have a rationale for this, but it feels wrong...when you're logging in, you expect to login, not be whisked away from what you were looking at. And it's not just the home page...I can be looking at P&R, decide to log in, and zoom--I'm sent elsewhere, never mind that it is sometimes a blank white screen. Speaking of blank white screens--the thing they all have in common is that they only happen during a form submit. Fear is the mind-killer. | |

Founder | Teacher said: Today while in chat, one regular 20 sec update of page failed and I got to the page that says "Sorry, you don't have the authority to view this page" or something to that extent ( I forgot to take it down, sorry ) When I hit "chat" from that page I got straight back into the chat without having to log on again or anything.
Yeah, this seems to be the error you get when the database is too slow... for example, when a big search is happening. We're investigating how we might be able to fix this, no easy solution has popped up yet. But, you shouldn';t worry about that error--and hitting reload on the browser is usually enough to continue. ben -- "the prince.org guy" |

Founder | luv4u said: Heavenly said: The site has been sooooo sllloooowww lately, and sometimes fail to load after a few minutes, that only closing all browsers and starting fresh helps, or just waiting a minute or two, but still it's very very very slow
I knowwwww, sooooo slowwwww (slow mo). When this happens, just wait a few minutes and try again. It's not a great solution, I know, but it does come back to normal speed after a few minutes... ben -- "the prince.org guy" |

no notes are showing up in incoming or outgoing...
there was a long list in outgoing - now it's gone - have sent some since then and they just haven't shown up at all - although i know at least one made it to the recipient. OK - it seems to be working again... all that had dissappeared is now back. [Edited 10/3/04 19:17pm] | |

#1 When I go into a thread, scroll all the way down to the bottom to jump to another forum and select "go", I get the following message:
Invalid forum Sorry, the forum you've attempted to view does not exist! Everytime this happens I have to click on the forums link, then the thread etc. #2 Timing out too fast: while writing org notes or replying to a thread I gather my thoughts while typing and it is very frustrating to type up everything, hit submit and everything you typed disappears due to a timeout . I have started to copy my text just in case I take too long typing up my thoughts/opinion on a topic because of the timeout, after the timeout I have to go to the homepage, click on the forums link, find the thread I was just in, find the person I was replying to, then paste my text that I copied previously, then submit. Please stop or at least extend the timeout on org notes and posting on threads. #3 typing in password to log in multiple times - I walk away from the computer, come back to reply to a thread and I am constantly asked to log back in, why??? I feel that once I've logged in with my password I should'nt have to keep doing it every 5 minutes. [Edited 10/4/04 19:38pm] Ohhh you keep saying stay the niiiiiiiiight

Okay, I'm not seeing any of the threads jump to the forefront when they get a new post! What's happening here??? If a thread is on page two, and you post on it, it stays on page two!!! Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

Look above the `blue line` above the word `topic`. You'll see an option to switch between what you're getting now, and what you had before. Click on that you should! | |

Founder | Peter said: All of the above code is used TWICE in the page source. Delete one of the forms and the error is gone.
- Peter - Thanks. I've removed the forum jump from the bottom of the page for now, as a solution. ben -- "the prince.org guy" |

Yeah... the thing is, the generated HTML for the forum jump box is precalculated and cached, and assumes it will only be used once per page. I'm not sure I feel like reworking the cache code to handle either case. But maybe. Thanks for the code snippet ben -- "the prince.org guy" |

Just a simple one Ben.On the "My Org" page i have the list of threads i've posted and whether there's a new post.I've stopped subscribing to topics as this i hope is what it's about, that to find if someone's posted we used to get an Email, which must be a bother to you, and now i prefer to just check "My Org".
I've got a page of about 35 listings of threads i've posted in, which have generally 'Died'. How long have you Enabled this function to last.i.e.Is There away of deleting the Dead Threads which are just taking up space on the page.Surely this function isn't gonna list every thread i've posted in Ad Infinitum? Explanation of "Your recent posts": This is a list of forum threads that you've most recently started, or posted replies to. In addition to being a quick way to jump back to the discussions you were most recently involved with, it gives you a quick overview of which threads have had new activity after you posted. The "new posts since last thread view" column will be "YES" if, after your most recent post, someone else has responded.
P.S. Thanks for your time and genius in creating and maintaining one of the best sites on the Internet.The social growth this site produces is invaluable to all Members ~PClinuxOS~ I've been here longer than I care to remember, ... I drop in from time to time, ... | |
