Hi Brett,

message numbers seems off and some of the post I have in my profile give me 404's.

Do you want us to report bugs?

[Essex_boy]

Starting a poll gives me an error warning

[inbound]

The Glossary Link gives a 404

[mack]

"Print msg" gives me an internal server error.

Mack.

[inbound]

Site search and subscribe give internal server errors too

[Brett_Tabke]

[10:17] Jake: also, if you log out, you can't view any threads
[10:18] Jake: it redirects you to a login page trying to redirect you to: Passed URL: [webmasterworld.com...]

[bakedjake]

encyclo has lost his "Moderator" status.

[bakedjake]

Library [webmasterworld.com] is broken.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]

[inbound]

All of the homepages for the forums (where the threads are listed for each forum) are limited to 1 page.

Such as [webmasterworld.com...]

##Examplified##

[edited by: inbound at 3:27 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[bakedjake]

Subscribe [webmasterworld.com] is broken.

HTTP 500 - Internal server error

[edited by: bakedjake at 3:25 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[bakedjake]

Glossary [webmasterworld.com] returning HTTP 404.

[bakedjake]

"My threads" linking to invalid addresses:

[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]
[webmasterworld.com...]

... and a bunch more. It looks like the only "my threads" being linked to correctly are the post-4.00 threads. This one is correct:

[webmasterworld.com...]

[edited by: bakedjake at 3:32 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[bakedjake]

Member Green_Grass [webmasterworld.com] also reporting "my threads" problems:

I can't seem to access :Control Panel- My Threads ...

I tried log out and login again but did not work.

[inbound]

Posting replies is problematic, see the above double posting (EDIT: Which has since disappeared).

When refreshing the thread with what should be a new reply on the bottom, no new reply is added. This appears to be sporadic.

[edited by: inbound at 3:40 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[bakedjake]

Esoteric admin bug - can't delete a message if there is no content in the edit box. To reproduce:

Step 1 - edit a message
Step 2 - delete all the text from the message body box
Step 3 - click the "delete - wipe message" checkbox
Step 4 - Hit Submit

Gives you an error.

[edited by: bakedjake at 3:40 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[Brett_Tabke]

jake/mack/essex_boy - I am going to login as you guys from time to time over the next few mins... your ip tracking will be off...

[bakedjake]

Pagination is broken. This thread now has 18 posts, all on one page.

Looking at the active [webmasterworld.com], it shows two pages.

If you click on the link for the second page [webmasterworld.com], you get a blank page.

This is very annoying when you post to this thread, because after the post is successful, you keep getting redirected to that second blank page.

[edited by: bakedjake at 3:43 pm (utc) on July 9, 2006]

[inbound]

Timings for last posts on the active list (and hence the list itself) are incorrect.

Currently there are pages such as

[webmasterworld.com...]

appearing, even though they were updated many hours ago.

[inbound]

The old Tools give an internal server error
[webmasterworld.com...]

Also, for a nice bit of irony: the report problem link at the bottom of every page has a promblem (internal server error)
[webmasterworld.com...]

[bakedjake]

Feature request: Add reverse DNS to IP login addresses in profile.

[Brett_Tabke]

ok - fixed most of those...

> irony

...I turned it off because i was getting flooded with the same report...

Building a Better Forum, One Bug at a Time

Nice work Brett

[Brett_Tabke]

I was just telling jake in IM, it is amazing the number of subtle differences that have crept into the systems the last few years.

Apache 1.3 vs Apache 2.0
Perl windows vs Perl Linux.

Other htna chmod/flock differences and the annoying system util differences (blat vs sendmail), they were fairly close to being alike.

I just ran into about ever difference you can think of uploading this mod. The biggest being the differences between some of the subtle apache settings.

[inbound]

The number of messages to each page seems fixed at 20, even though I have tried 30 (my default) and 50. Not a huge issue though.

[Brett_Tabke]

> Add reverse DNS to IP login addresses in profile.

it is in there, but I am not storing it Jake because that would add alot of space to peoples user files. We have some members who switch ip ever 10-15 minutes. The largest I have see was a member files with 2000 chars of ips for 1 day. (eg: 123.123.123.123... for 2k). yeowzer. That is why I went to the limit on the number of ip's tracked.

I suppose I could do a lookup on the fly... for a profile view.

[Brett_Tabke]

Should have the posting bug fixed. It was a permissions issue.

[coopster]

Rolling through messages in a forum by using the Newer/Older links at the base of the page for one of the active threads in the forum leads to a 404. For example, this thread [webmasterworld.com] is currently the 2nd thread in the forum list. Try using the Newer/Older links at the base of the page.

[jimbeetle]

Hmm, this shows as the third page [webmasterworld.com] on the active list. When in the thread itself there are only 2 pages.

[mack]

Don't know if this is a bug or a feature...

When you post a message then edit it, it shows "edited by" even if there has been no later post.

Often I post then notice a typo and go back in to edit, this might lead to a lot more edited by comments than previously.

Mack.
