CF is back and running the latest version of the software...

[Erwin]

Took me all night, but it's finally done. I had a bug that I had to spend the past 2 hours trying to fix, but it's fixed!

There are definitely bound to be bugs, so please report them IN THIS THREAD so I can fix them.

Also, the old warning system and user notes have been removed, and the new yellow card (warning), red card (infraction) will be in place, once I figure out how to get it up and running.

The appeal system should still be in place but obviously the rules will be changed. In essence, only red cards (infractions) can be appealed - yellow cards are merely warnings. If you watch football (soccer) you'll how that works. This system comes default with the software and should not have any bugs with it.

Thanks for your patience all!

[Erwin]

Also, the slave search database server is also up and running. And the IRC server is back up and running.

[Quentin]

Nice work Erwin!! :)

[dianne050]

[aReformedPatriot]

[MMXII]

[dianne050]

Great Job Erwin!!!!

Never mind

Never mind
God bless you for all your hard work, Erwin!

[Shubunkin]

I can't get into any other forums but this one. :(

[Brian90]

Congrats on the server upgrades! :thumbsup:

God Bless. :wave:

[Under_His_Shadow]

God bless you for all your hard work, Erwin!

Whoops, I guess that's a bug too? I didn't click "quote", but just "reply" on these last 2 replies, but, as you can see, it posts them as quotes!?

[Greenthumb]

I've got a bug...

Every once in a while when I post a message pops up saying...

Thank you for posting...your post will be visible once a moderator approves it...or something like that.

And then my post shows up.

Other than that...everything is great Erwin...thanks! :D

[Shubunkin]

I'm getting database errors if I click on a thread ... but if I click on the latest (orange colored) thread at the top.... then it's okay. I don't get it. :confused:

I just got that too. :o

This is what I get sometimes:

[MariaRegina]

Another weird bug.

When I click ANNOUNCEMENTS - all the threads are dated ... 2005, 2004

The only way I can get into this thread is because it was most recently accessed.

[MariaRegina]

Now, the threads are all current in ANNOUNCEMENTS.

It seems like a momentary glitch.

[Dr. Holly]

Thanks Erwin for all of your hard work here on CF. God bless you & yours! :prayer:

[MariaRegina]

(1) This is new --

THE REPORT BUTTON

is now available for me to report my own post.

Is that another glitch?


(2) I cannot view warnings/infractions. There is no option for that in the CF CONTROL PANEL.


(3) Will we be able to report abusive PMs soon? The FORWARD button is not reliable as an unethical sender can modify a FORWARDED PM.

[MariaRegina]

Now the REPORT BUTTON is not displaying in my post. GUESS I SPOKE TOO SOON.

It's back.

Thanks, Erwin, for trying! :)

:groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray: :groupray:

[MariaRegina]

Another bug noticed.

In the REPORT BUGS forum, the two sticky threads that are closed have lines running through the titles, yet in the ANNOUNCEMENT forum, the locked sticky threads do not have those lines running through the titles.

[Bullheadangel811]

Thanks Erwin!! what would CF be without you??? Wait there would be no CF!!!!!:(

[Erwin]

Most bugs should be fixed - please check.

[Erwin]

The old warning system is scrapped. Consider this CF's third amnesty. :) Everyone starts from zero.

[MariaRegina]

Testing.

I can still see the REPORT button in my own posts.

EDIT: Yes, it is still there.










And there is NO way I am going to test the REPORT BUTTON. :)

[MariaRegina]

Check the date on these first two posts: 1970?

1st January 1970, 10:00 AM

Wow!

Looks like some dates got scrambled!

http://www.christianforums.com/t3297553-public-appeal-i-ddie4him-official-warning.html



I noticed this bug because Ceris was listed as the initiator of the appeal ... I knew this could not be right unless it was a test. And it was not a test.

[Erwin]

He posted while I was upgrading. That's no longer a current bug.

[AdJesumPerMariam]

Is the "add a not feature" that we can place on posters so us mods can keep up with certain people, gone?

[insaneinthebrain]

I've got a gray square on my list of subscribed forums. (pic attached)

I have this same problem, but I don't know if Erwin will see your pic in this thread...hmmmm:)

Ooops! I just got notified this is the correct thread for the new software bugs.:)

[MeekOne]

Just one small bug, Erwin. I had to go into my miscellaneous options to change from wysiwig to standard editor because I couldn't post in the threads or reply to PM's. Can you please fix that so I can return back to using the wysiwig? The standard is so standard. Thank you again for all that you do. :)

[Rin4Christ]

Thanks Erwin! I'm excited about the multiqote feature.

[insaneinthebrain]

I have this same problem, but I don't know if Erwin will see your pic in this thread...hmmmm:)

Well, he did say
There are definitely bound to be bugs, so please report them IN THIS THREAD so I can fix them.

I can only do what the man requested. ;)

[Henaynei]

the multiquote function may be the single most spectacular and effective tool yet in place to squelch infractions related to having the statements of other posters misquoted and misused.... most excellent

[She]

I cannot post in the graphics version. It works on the 'pda' version but not on the graphics version. I tried doing all the things suggested by Erwin earlier in this thread but I still have the same problem.

Basically, if I switch to graphics with my Privacy settings down to 'medium high', I get the box with "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to shut down". It then shuts down. If I manage not to get that box coming up, I am unable to post because, after typing a message and submitting it, the message comes up: "You have to type at least one character to post", and my post gets deleted. Most of the time (9/10 times) the box comes up which closes internet explorer down, altogether.

However, if I switch to the graphics version with my Privacy setting up to 'High', I am able to look at all the threads and the forum but, obviously, I am not able to log-in or post. This leads me to conclude that the Forum software is blocking out my personal cookies when I am in the graphics version. Why is that? Have I been banned?

Posting in the pda version means that I am handicapped to a certain extent since it does not allow me to quote other people's posts and I am unable to edit my own posts. I am also unable to post links. And I cannot post smillies, although you do not have a smillie which demonstrates how I feel about this.

[MariaRegina]

Thank you, Erwin, for a magnificent job.

[arensb]

The new quotes in replies (with link to the original) is very cool indeed. Thanks!

One question, though: it looks as though there are three buttons at the bottom of each message, which all do the same thing: "Quote", the little square icon with a quotation mark, and "Reply".

If they all do the same thing, would it be possible to remove two of them, just to clean up the interface a bit?

[Gracebewithyou]

My icons and color fonts are not working ,do you know what I can do to enable these posting features again....

[~Lady Trekki~]

Hi Erwin...great job! It's good to have CF back and running better than ever. :clap:

I only have one problem so far...you fixed a bug I liked! I want to rep people but am out of reps...used to be able to rep through their blogs even after I was out of reps. Now I can't. :(

Oh well...^_^ :)

[Ryder]

Still trying to post, here goes...

[Ryder]

Ah, ok, finally.

Sorry all, the update put me to enhanced interface and I couldn't post. BlakeMichael helped me figure that out and I'm good to post with standard interface it seems.

[Breaking Babylon]

Glad to have helped, Ryder. :wave:

[candleflame]

Hi Erwin sorry to trouble you but am having difficulty doing reply, to reply to posts. It keeps logging me out each time and tells me to refresh and log in again which I do and the same thing happens again. I have managed to PM and it seemed ok. Thanks:wave:

[ttreg]

oops

[Erwin]

User notes are gone, yes.

It's working for me - try to empty your browser cache and delete all temporary files, and try again.

Weird - try deleting all your Temporary Internet Files and see if that helps. I'm using Internet Explorer and it works fine for me. It's a matter of getting the old javascript replaced with new.

[Erwin]

My icons and color fonts are not working ,do you know what I can do to enable these posting features again....
??? It's working for me. Try switching to WYSIWYG.

[Erwin]

Ah, ok, finally.

Your browser has the old javascript files in its cache - you need to delete these files, and reload them. It will then work.

[Erwin]

This is a cookie problem - delete the CF cookie, log in again, and it will work.

[BeachBlonde]

When I go the last post of a thread it will take me to the 3rd page rather say 8. I'm working around this but find it silly and odd!
thank you Erwin.

[candleflame]

Sorry Erwin but how do I delete the CF cookie you tell me I need to delete. Where is it? sori I'm thick.

[MariaRegina]

When you log out, aren't all the cookies deleted?

[VC15]

that's good news, hopefully other people will like them too.

Which thread?

Yes, but not if the cookie is corrupted.

[She]

Thanks, it seems to have worked now. But there are no smilies. (Perhaps that's because I changed to basic editor.)

It's working now. :clap:

Thank you.
:wave:

[Windmill]

Why is the old banner gone? :(

[BeachBlonde]

Every thread I go to..if i click last post I am taken to several pages before.

I'm hitting repy to get by right now until I figuire out wha's going on.

[MeekOne]

It's working for me - try to empty your browser cache and delete all temporary files, and try again.Yay! :clap: It worked! :clap: Thank you so much, Erwin! :hug:

Some members complained about the crucifix.

This is a cookie problem - delete the CF cookie, log in again, and it will work.

Hi Erwin sorry to bother you but still having problems. I deleted the cookies and emptied temp Internet files in my internet option settings, did a virus check, clean up and a defragment but I still can't reply normally to posts. Like some of the other people in this thread and the bug thread , I can only reply using advanced reply and PM and I've just tried to add a buddy and it says I can't I have to refresh and login yet again and again and again. Is the CF cookie somewhere else? I love CF but its very frustrating at the moment. Thanks for you help.:wave:

[TheSerenityPrayer]

Thanks Erwin!! :D :hug:

Try a different browser like Firefox. If that works, then it's the other browser - for some reason you have a corrupted cookie which needs to be deleted and you have to log in again. I really don't know what else to recommend.

[BeachBlonde]

still unable to reach the last post on the site..taking me to pages several before

[Rin4Christ]

I'm not certain if this is a new problem or not, but when I press "last page" when linking to a thread from my subscribed threads list, it always takes me to my last "unread" post instead of last page.

I don't seem to be having the problem anymore :)
Thanks if it was the site,if not....weird..

[Rin4Christ]

Fixed!


Thanks! works great now!:thumbsup:
