POST SITE PROBLEMS HERE

Published on July 13, 2005 By KarmaGirl In Blogging

I am seeing a bunch of hit and miss posts about issues that people are having. However, it is impossible for the web programmers to find the reports in this fashion. Though Cordelia can relay the messages, she can't actually fix the issues (as can none of us expect the web team).

So, please post your issues here. *BUT*, when you do, make sure that you are giving every detail possible. A "this site is acting odd" report will get us nowhere. Post when, where, and how the problem occurred. Also let us know what browser you are using and if you have already tried cleaning your cookies. Reproducible issues are easiest to track (with info on how to reproduce them) so, please try to reproduce the issue prior to reporting it.

Please remember that the more info you provide, the more likely it can be fixed.

How often should I kill cookies? Which ones do I kill first?

Never kill cookies. Eat them! HAHA! Sorry, I had to.

Yum yum in my tum! Taste good, someone does have a bakery, after all!
The links to my articles have come alive again in the WC forum, they have
new menu context items there too, Stardock forum also has new loggin in and out
options or? has reactivated them, JU has improved editing and quoting, is still
closed down for work which is good you can login there if you sneak in from a
back door but cant log out without using an other secret back door I have found,
it looks better though. Hang, on!

Forums seem to be in working order. But, that's about it.

Darn it, I have new poems to post. They'll wait, I suppose.

L_W, we haven't said anything because...well...we don't know. JU seems to be having bad effects on our other sites, and since it's a free site (not a core business site) it may be up and down until we know that it can stay up without taking down our other sites.

They (the web guys) are working on it as fast as they can.

Two problems today..
1. not getting notice on e mail from tracked articles
2. count for comments show up on main page, but show as zero on individual articles.

If I wasn't egotistical, I'd make an unsolicited suggestion... Oh, wait, I am...

I assume you've got everything buffered and streamlined as much as you can with the hardware you've got. Why not serve this place up as static HTML that updates itself every 10 minutes or so. The forums, at least. That would cut down on the 'real time chat' aspect, which db forums were never really intended to be.

Add a "verify" step to the submission, so that people will edit it before it goes in, and then let them wait a few minutes for everything to update. You could even put a little 'X minutes until next update' statement somewhere so people wouldn't just sit and bang the boards checking.

At least it would take the load of the db with little or no extra expense, right? IMHO, the real strain on this place is all us nitwits banging away at the messageboard, usually when there's not been enough time for anyone to reply anyway.

Just a suggestion.

Should I be making back-up copies of my favorite articles, "just in case?" I'd hate to attempt a log on one day to find JU shut down until further notice

We wouldn't do that. If anything, we would end up switching it over to use one of our other forum systems (like the one WinCustomize uses).

There are no current plans to shut down JU or to even keep it down for an extended amount of time.
