Title: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on November 04, 2008, 08:09:26 CET
It seems that some members are getting various errors when trying to access the forum or even once logged in. It would be very useful if you could all post when you receive an error, providing the date/time and what the error message was. In this way I can try and resolve the issue with the hosting provider.

Thanks

Thanks guys, I will check again with the hosting provider this evening.

There might have been some errors within the last hour as we were testing some things.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on November 04, 2008, 18:21:01 CET
Hopefully things should be sorted now. The only problems that users may get is when going through a post that had an image that no longer exists. Some images there were uploaded in the gallery were later removed by the person who uploaded them.

The forum and the gallery have been upgraded. You won't notice any changes to the forum upgrade, but the gallery is now the pro version thanks to member donations, it has added alot of new functionality, like slideshows, personal galleries etc.

If you do come across problems let me know as things didn't go 100% but can't find any noticeable issues.

Thanks for the comments guys, permissions have now been sorted out on the gallery (found out that was one of the 'errors' that didn't show up straight away'. You can now leave comments, add your own personal gallery etc etc.

Very nice skip,thanks for the upgrade ;D

Post by: skip on November 25, 2008, 15:58:58 CET
There may be an issue for some people trying to upload pictures into the gallery and the system telling them they have exceeded their max space limit.

Am looking into it with the gallery developer and will revert back. Please bear with us for the time being, thanks.

Guys we've been having forum errors lately which I think has limited you all from uploading pictures. Please please post in here when you have problems or we won't be able to help you out as I won't be aware!

Thanks to Diplodus Sargus, Shanook and ggantno1 for highlighting there were gallery problems via PM but please do post in here.

Have arranged some of the code, let me know if you're still having issues/errors
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on March 07, 2009, 17:32:06 CET
Should now be resolved for good following another major change to increase available memory limits on the server.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: shanook on March 07, 2009, 18:56:05 CET
still the same

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1024 bytes) in /home/nickpm/public_html/talk/Sources/Subs-Graphics.php on line 315
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on March 07, 2009, 19:16:50 CET
If you try and upload a picture that is too large you will cause a memory error.

Pictures cannot be larger than 1024px wide which will help reduce the problem.

However as there is still an issue I am re-tackling with the hosting provider.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: ggantno1 on March 07, 2009, 22:08:25 CET
Hi guys as said before from skip I had this problem as said by shannok I managed to upload some files but had to use an image converter to reduce the resolution and size of the pic from 3702x2304 to 800x600.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on March 07, 2009, 22:24:23 CET
Hosting provider reckons he now has it sorted and I've done some further tests so let me know.

It should also auto resize pictures down to 1024 wide now for us, i just tried with some larger ones and it did.

When I enter the forum a sort of error is occurring. The Windfinder bit is overlapping the Recent Post's table. To tell you the truth it's not bothering me that much but I think it would be better if I report it.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on March 11, 2009, 14:42:17 CET
Hi Kurt, it's a problem on smaller monitors 15 inch, using low resolution desktop settings like 800x600 or maybe 1024x768

It will display if the monitor is bigger or screen resolution is higher. Unfortunately it seems that the forum is unable to auto resize.

Would be interested to know your monitor size, resolution setting (right click on the desktop and select properties) and whether you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: Granitu on March 11, 2009, 17:18:34 CET
you're right skip it happend to me on a 15 inch 1024*768

If you weren't signed in you will receive that error as guests cannot see everything.

If you were signed in and followed the link from Google then you don't have access to the board where the issue is being discussed. There are certain boards restricted to premium and VIP members only.

What post/link were you trying to access?

Another error when i am trying to view others profile says this

Many apologies, but you can't view just any profile.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on April 23, 2009, 17:00:05 CET
That one isn't an error. Profile viewing is not allowed for new users to prevent online members being spammed etc. It wasn't working properly before but have now been sorted out with the latest software patch. Once you get to 20 posts these features will open up.

Forum crashed last night and database got corrupted. Only available working restore was 28th Sept, which means posts, new topics and everything else after that were lost. Sorry guys sometimes computers take revenge!
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on October 04, 2009, 14:39:17 CET
personal messages were lost from around the 27th August. As I note the size of the personal message data table is very big and might have contributed to the crash, can I ask members to click on My Messages and under Preferences select Prune Messages and delete ones older than 30 days.
Title: Re: Forum Errors - Please enter them here
Post by: skip on October 05, 2009, 06:45:55 CET
It seems some people are getting a new message notification when there are none. Will try to look into this this evening after work.

Seems the datacentre where all the servers are suffered a catastrophic power failure causing most server to go offline betwen 14:59 and 18:33 local time. Power was restored within 30 mins on some servers but others including ours took longer to come up because once power was restored the hosting admins had to go round checking each one and bringing them back online which took more time.

The network still isn't 100% so it may be a bit slow for the next hour but hopefully will be back to normal by tomorrow.
