issues with posting

[Jorge]

should be fixed now.

let me know.

[mfgbypooter]

ok Jorge I'm going to check it now.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Something's wrong Jorge I had a hard time logging back in.

I get the confirmation page that I have logged in but then redirects right back to being logged out.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Nope can not log in using IE at all.

I had to post this using Chrome.

*

[mfgbypooter]

I managed to get logged in with IE now, this post from IE, still no toolbar here.

*

[Jorge]

I have posted this in the vb forums and waiting to hear back from support.

[mfgbypooter]

Thanks Jorge.

The not being able to log in problem is serious.

Seems like a lot of redirection issues happening too.

*

[YWD67]

Still have to use the refresh after loging in after using the capatibility view. When I login it shows that
I am not, but if I refresh it shows me in and I can post.

Poot try using the refresh after it redirects and and shows you out. See if it shows you in then.

[mfgbypooter]

What you said sometimes has to be done repeatedly, sometimes it works right off the bat but more often than not it doesn't.

So for now I guess the best bet is to just stay logged in unless otherwise directed.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

I had a hard time logging in today, but seems OK now. Text editor is also working for me.

[mfgbypooter]

you have the toolbar?*

[mfgbypooter]

aw shit see it's still fucked up.*

[RACKnRAIL]

I have the toolbar, but I'm noticing other little issues. Like when I view a PM it won't show as read. Also, deleted some spam and I have to refresh to show the threads are deleted, which is different. Things are far from normal, that's for sure.

[mfgbypooter]

I'm just talking out my ass but it's starting to look like Zp needs to be taken down to the shop for some major repairs.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

Yeah, even when I log off and log back in my last PM keeps showing as it's not been read. Strange!

I am noticing when I view "who's online" I get the same results as I did a half an hour ago. I'm still viewing the "I want one" thread and pooter is still modifying the same post. Something is fucked up.

[YWD67]

I hope to hell this extended down time does not kill ZP. The longer it is screwed up, the greater chance that when it is fixed, there will be very few people left coming here.

[mfgbypooter]

Well now the toolbar is completely gone in Chrome and we also have the added delight of having posts with horizontal and vertical scrolling.

*

Same here. Toolbar is gone again. This is getting fucking frustrating

[YWD67]

Any chance of shit canning the Version 4.1.7 vBulletin for the older one that was working just fine? I wonder if any other vBulletin operated sites are having the same problem as we are witht he new upgrade?

I noticed the horizontal and vertical scrolling yesterday Poot.

[test]

testing :painkiller:

[test]

testing quick reply.

[RACKnRAIL]

Toolbar is back. Hmm...could it be?

[mfgbypooter]

Saw this posted over in vbulletin forums so it looks like ours could be a common problem requiring some settings changes.

Messed up Editor/Avatars/Other visual glitches after upgrade?

The updates to the mobile style can remove the editor from your default style if vBulletin is improperly configured.

In your Admin CP go to Settings -> Options -> Style and Language Options.

Set Default Style For Modern Mobile Browser to None.

Set Default Style For Old Mobile Browser to None.

Save at the bottom.

Always make sure your default style is not set as mobile in style. Modern/Old Mobile styles should have either none or your mobile style selected; not desktop style.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

Is it still messed up for you, pooter?

[mfgbypooter]

yup, even logged out and logged back in the site still doesn't correctly refresh pages, still no toolbar and both scrollbars are still there.

*

[YWD67]

Has anyone else noticed that even after you are login, the adds still appear in you posting text area. Use to be if you were signed in they disapeared.

[RACKnRAIL]

Geez, from home with FF everything was working. Now I'm at work and it's worse than ever. Oddly enough emoticons still work...:target:

[YWD67]

Emotions have always showed up since I was able to get around the login problem. It is the damn text tools that have never shown up.Jorge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!How about some kind of update on the status of the Zipper.

[mfgbypooter]

Holy Shit all I'm doing is surfing Zp and all of a sudden I'm getting all these Virus alerts.

FUCK.

Off to investigate further.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

Viruses? I haven't seen that yet.

[mfgbypooter]

Yup thats what I get for clicking on links found in old posts in the archives of Zp.

Now I just wish I knew which one it was I'd go back and delete that mother f.

[RACKnRAIL]

:pop2:






...........

[w31n3r]

quick reply

seems ok. are the issues isolated to IE? chrome here...

[HelenaP]

Yup thats what I get for clicking on links found in old posts in the archives of Zp.

Now I just wish I knew which one it was I'd go back and delete that mother f.

You should be able to click on your name then ->> "Find latest posts"...

[HelenaP]

On a couple of other notes - I'm seeing two stickied threads for Drew's "Occupy Wall Street Thread"[s], and when I signed in, the board kept jumping back to the sign in page.

Thought I'd been banned...http://i257.photobucket.com/albums/hh210/allothers69/Viannen_moi-girl.gif

Editing is a bitch again.

[mfgbypooter]

You should be able to click on your name then ->> "Find latest posts"...

Doing that doesn't show my surfing history only my post history.


On a couple of other notes - I'm seeing two stickied threads for Drew's "Occupy Wall Street Thread"[s], and when I signed in, the board kept jumping back to the sign in page.

Are you saying you are seeing duplicates of the two threads?

As in 2 threads with the same title twice which would be 4 threads?

If not then what you are seeing is the two stickied threads for Occupy Wall Street posts.

The Occupy Wall Street Thread (New Protests)

The Occupy Wall Street Thread (Politics, Issues, and General Discussion)

As for redirects, the Auto-Refresh is not working properly so you must manually refresh each and every page you view for them to be current.

*

[crymomma]

I am able now to make threads after a week without being able to.

[RACKnRAIL]

should be fixed now. let me know.I'm letting you know that it's far from fixed from my workplace using IE. However, it seems to work from home using Firefox. There are still lots of little glitches though. I get the ads now even when I'm logged in, which sucks. My PM box never seems to show that I've read my PM's. Can we not revert back to the previous vBulletin? It all seemed to go amok after the last vB update.

[mountain_rage]

I can't seem to edit my posts anymore with firefox, and on many occasions my posts will not show up right away after posting. They do show up eventually, but they stay in some weird purgatory state for a while. Did you talk to Jorge about rolling back until the issues are fixed, he would be the one to ask. Or do the super mods handle that stuff?

[mountain_rage]

Or maybe my posts are not showing up, i duno anymore, my posts only show up if I post a second post after the first one... But then they seem to disappear again on my screen.

[YWD67]

I brought up the issue of rolling back to the older system but have not heard from Jorge yet.Other sites using vBulletin are having the same problems. According to poot the problems seems to surround the integrating of mobil devices to vBulletin sites.As I said before, the longer the problem goes on, the possibility increases that fewer people will return when the problem is corrected.

[mfgbypooter]

I know I'm getting tired of this shit.

*

[Jorge]

I believe I have fixed it. Let me know if you see keep seeing problems.

[YWD67]

I believe I have fixed it. Let me know if you see keep seeing problems.Still no toolbar, still have to refresh to show that I am logged in, can not get smiles to work.Adds still appear after signing in, and scroll bars still appear. Same old same old Jorge.

[YWD67]

Hit 3000 post and damn near no one around to see. Oh well, only 998 more post to hit 4000.

[mountain_rage]

It doesn't even come up on refresh. I leave the page come back and it isn't there. They only appear after someone else posts, or I post. But if I post, they are visible immediately after the post, but both disappear on refresh, or when I come back until someone posts. This will be a test post.

[mountain_rage]

Ya still doing it for me, not sure if its just in firefox.

[Jorge]

It might be a caching issue. I noticed that it was messing up on chrome and I had to do a shift refresh to kill my cache.

Give it a few and let's see if its working.

Regarding login, do you live outside the US?

[RACKnRAIL]

I don't seem to have any issues from home using FF, but it was messed up all day at work.

Oh yeah, ads are still appearing after logging on, which never use to happen.

[mfgbypooter]

Looks OK in Chrome for the most part but still fucked all to hell in IE.

*

[crymomma]

Still keep having problems with my posting, change my setting over and over again. Not able to PM anyone when i am having problems with making a threads and reply's. Hope this issue will be fixed cause i had to reply again to someone thread to be able to do what i am doing now.

[Jorge]

@crymomma have you tried shift+refresh in your browser to clear you cache?

[mfgbypooter]

So is there a fix for all these problems coming soon or what?

*

[Jorge]

I just reproduced the IE issue, let me search the vbulletin forum to see if anyone is having a problem here. Looks like the latest release of VB stinks. Working hard to get this fixed guys, please be patient.

[w31n3r]

couldn't log in using chrome till i cleared the cache :/

once in everything seems hunky dory

EDIT: everything works just fine in FF. i'm guessing the VB coders are FF fanbois...

[RACKnRAIL]

Definitely still fucked up for me. See if i can post a screen...http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/8005657421/ZP11.jpg

[HelenaP]

Hell. It's doing ^that^ in FF...

[Jorge]

If anyone is online, I want to test a few things. I will be on for 30 minutes working on these fixes.

[Jorge]

Update

We have 2 main issues, login and posting issues.

IE Login Issue
This appears to be a core vbulletin issue. Seeking a fix.

Posting Issue
This appears to be a cloudflare / vbulletin issue. Seeking a fix.

[mfgbypooter]

ok jorge

*

[RACKnRAIL]

I'm here too. Let us know Jorge.

[Jorge]

I have CloudFlare off right now. Are you have issues with posting?

[mfgbypooter]

hey the toolbars back!

but the scroll bars are still there.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

I am still unable to post with IE.

[Jorge]

IE is a different story.

[RACKnRAIL]

Here's a screen of what I'm getting.

http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c57/8005657421/Test-1.jpg

[RACKnRAIL]

Well, with Firefox I don't have any problems that I can see right now. Everything is working.

[mfgbypooter]

tweaked a little bit but shit's still buggered so best keep seeking that fix.

*

[mfgbypooter]

As of this post in IE8 the scroll bars are now gone, but the page loads extremely slow before the reply box appears.

Tool bar is missing.

*

[mountain_rage]

Seems to be working for me in FF now

[mountain_rage]

Or not, I'll check IE. Can't even post in IE, getting the same issue as others. But my weird posts not showing up issue is still happening in FF.

[YWD67]

I have no problem with IE as long as the Compatibility View is on and I refresh after every post and when I login. Still no toobal and scroll bars are still here plus the damn adds.

[Jorge]

I am working with the guys over at vbulletin to fix the issue: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php/389782-IE-Login-Issue

Right now I am trying to conquer one problem at a time and the cookie issue is my first concern.

[Jorge]

@RACKnRAIL

Do you still get the above error? I just turned off JS minify.

[crymomma]

I am on, sign in on reply to comment. Will need to check later to be sure i can make a thread without leaving a comment on another thread.

[RACKnRAIL]

@RACKnRAIL

Do you still get the above error? I just turned off JS minify.

Posted with IE. I have a toolbar as well. Looks good at a glance, except for the ads still on the side after logging in...even after I post.

[mfgbypooter]

My edited hosts file must be keeping me from seeing those ads as I have yet to see any on my end.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Jorge I will be online for awhile if you need any feedback here.

*

[mfgbypooter]

And I am currently surfing Zp using IE8.

I downgraded from IE9 when the problems started, thinking it might make a difference but it obviously didn't.

When I logged in with IE8 just a minute ago, the log in worked just fine, logging me in then loading the forum page.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Posting from IE8, the tool bar is there, the quick reply box loads quickly, and the post displays correctly without the scroll bars.

Upon refreshing the page however, the scroll bars show on the new post, along with all the other posts in the thread showing scroll bars.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Update:

I checked my view in IE8 and compatability view was checked.

I unchecked that, it instantly logged me out of the forum, so I logged back in.

Now I am not seeing the scroll bars on any post in any thread I have viewed.

Hope my feedback is helping.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Surfing and posting is looking normal in IE8.

I am going to log off, switch host files, and log back in to see if I see any of the ads mentioned by others.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Damn, now I see the ads both logged off and when logged in.

edit:

Jeezus I can't stand this, gonna swap host files back to regain my sanity.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

The ads fucking blow!

[mfgbypooter]

ok I switched host files so the ads are gone for me, since Jorge left I also switched browsers to one that uses the IE Engine and now the scroll bars return...

Chrome has never had much problem, anyone see any changes in FF?

*

[RACKnRAIL]

I have to refresh each page with FF to see new posts.

[YWD67]

Okey, turned off CV and the scroll bar is gone. Toolbar is back, fucking Yeah! I still have to refresh after logging in to show me being in. Add appear at the top of the page on the the leading post.
New problem all post are crambed to the left as if something like an invisible something (add) was keeping it from going all the way across to the right.
Oh and smiles are working again for me:smile::smile:.
I am using IE8 like poot.

Okey I tried to do and edit and things are really crambed into a twoinch wide box including the toobar.

I tied again everything is fine width wise, toobar etc. Hope that this last.

[mfgbypooter]

Ok back with IE8 using edited hosts file, so no ads.

I did not have to refresh when I logged in.

strange behaviour indeed, as I am not having any of the issues dog has even though we are using the same browser.

But with the ads blocked, performance and appearance is like it is in Chrome.

*

[YWD67]

Back to seeing everthing crambed to the left again, my post included. At lest it is 75% better then it has been.

[YWD67]

Just logged out and back in with out refreshing. Still seeing all post crambed in a two inch wide area.

[YWD67]

Are you seeing post like that to poot?

[YWD67]

My last post was the first one on a new page. The add is there and my post is crambed to the left of it. So it is the invisible add that is causing the crambing problem on my end.

[mfgbypooter]

I've gotta go out in the real world for awhile and run some errands.

You guys enjoy.

*

[mfgbypooter]

Are the ads still showing up?

*

[RACKnRAIL]

I'm getting the ads still with both IE and FF.

[YWD67]

They only appear in the top post of each page. The other post show nothing but it is there but invisible for some reason. That is why all post I see are crambed to the left with a two inch margin.

[RACKnRAIL]

I had to refresh the page to see YWD67's post, even after browsing to another thread and returning.

It definitely is not fixed. :sad:

[HelenaP]

There is no "Mark Forums Read" (or wevertf it says) link at the top...

[RACKnRAIL]

Still fucked up for me Oct. 23rd. Is this ever getting fixed?

[mfgbypooter]

I don't know why he stopped working on it unless the zp tee-shirt model is back in town.

*

[RACKnRAIL]

Fuck me! why not just restore to an earlier vB before the fucked up update? Let vB iron out the problems before re-installing it.

[YWD67]

It would not be hard to go back to the older version if Jorge had the system backed up prior to the update. One can only hope that was the case.

[Potato]

wtf happened here?

Did my avatar disappear?

Am I going to be allowed to post this?

[Drew Wilson]

wtf happened here?

Bug riddled update.


Did my avatar disappear?

No.


Am I going to be allowed to post this?

Yes.

[RACKnRAIL]

wtf happened here?

We're all still wondering that.

Apparently the last vB update fucked things up.

I do see your avatar though.

[w31n3r]

all seems fine to me on chrome and FF, and has been for the last few days. i know it's purely down to personal preference, but i would advice most people to have 2 browsers for times like this.

Jorge/Mods, i have a suggestion. till all the kinks are ironed out, i think it would be best to put up an announcement/send mass PM informing people what browser works best on the site(after checking of course). it'll save a lot of wtf questions for old returning members, and keep newbies and regulars in the loop.

[YWD67]

Anyone heard anything new on repairs to the upgrade?

[Krell]

I'm an admin on more than one IPB vBulletin board, and I'm sure there are some glitches here that still need to be worked out, such as delays in the board allowing access once logged on, in updating the post count once it is committed etc.

It's very frustrating to log in and not be able to post until you spelunk around a while, or to post and it not show up on the New Posts report.

[YWD67]

I'm an admin on more than one IPB vBulletin board, and I'm sure there are some glitches here that still need to be worked out,

The understatement of the year!::cursing:::cursing:

[RACKnRAIL]

You know it, we know it, Jorge knows it, but it stays the same. It's like Jorge has given up trying to fix it. I give up complaining about it, as that hasn't worked either.

[Jorge]

I have fixed the issue with the buttons on the reply window. This appeared to be a minify issue.

[RACKnRAIL]

test post...
