Re: Last Post Button
Is it possible it's just a time stamp issue? I seem to recall you fixing an issue with that about the same time you changed the icons, so maybe your fix broke something else? I'm just Arm-chair programming now, so feel free take or leave this.

Re: Last Post Button
To Perdition, Asgara, Theodoric, Stile,
Are you still seeing the problem with the last post button? I had never seen it before going on vacation, then while using hotel wi-fi I saw it frequently while using Safari on my wife's MacBook. Now that I'm home the problem has disappeared, both on my development machine and on the MacBook. Complicating matters is that I did make a few minor code changes, but I didn't think they would fix the problem.
I also saw another problem I had never seen before, and that has also disappeared now that I am home. I would be logged off EvC for no reason over and over again, and with no discernible pattern. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Re: Last Post Button
Last post button seems to be working fine now. I wasn't able to detect a pattern and now seems to work properly. Weird huh.
I never experienced the other issue.
The only issues I have is that the site is real slow right now. Rest of the net is running fine for me just seems to be EVC

Let me know if the performance issue recurs while I happen to be online. I've been using Skype for chat, Skype name is "evcforum".

Re: Last Post Button
Performance is great this morning. No issues at all. I will contact you if I notice it again.
I don't use Skype though. Too many ways to communicate with people now, the last thing I need is a new way.

Sign-in from another computer
Hi Percy
I tried to sign-in from my school station today for the first time since the board was rebuilt and couldn't get in. It said my password was not correct, but it worked when I got home. Any ideas?

It's not the man that knows the most that has the most to say.

Re: Sign-in from another computer
Hi Lyx2no,
Can you try logging in from another station? Or you could check some user-error types of things, like that the keyboard is working and is not in caps-lock mode. Let me know if the problem persists and I'll investigate.
Is anyone else having problems logging in?
PS - Should you really be logging in to EvC Forum from school?

Some links showing up as not clickable
I've encountered this sort of problem in various places, most recently in this message. The first link in that message is:
When I first viewed that message, the link in question was displayed as ordinary text - It was not a clickable hyperlink. The second link was correctly functioning as a hyperlink.
After I added my moderation message at the end and submitted the edit, the link in question became a clickable hyperlink.

Minor Update Just Installed
A minor update has just been installed, but first let me apologize for the 15 minutes of unexpected downtime and the slow performance.
The site became inaccessible because the MySQL server hung. I have restarted the MySQL server and the site is up again.
Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about the current slow performance. Both IAC Search Media (I do not know who they are) and Microsoft are indexing the site at the same time. I suspect that combined with my update process that the MySQL server became overloaded and hung.
The update itself was fairly minor. In the status box at the top of each page is the number of active members. This number used to be the total of all members (minus those who were suspended or marked inactive), but it is now the total of all members who have been active in the past 90 days. Since tracking of who's been active over the past 90 days only began about 15 minutes ago, the number of active members is now only 36. I can update this to be more accurate by using data from the message database, and this is what I was doing when the MySQL server hung. I will try again when the indexing of the site by Microsoft and IAC Search Media completes.
AbE: Forgot to mention: Birthdays are now only reported for members active in the past 90 days.
Edited by Admin, : Add AbE.

Another Minor Update Just Installed
Long links are now automatically shortened. For example, this link:
http://www.site.com/this/is/a/very/long/link/that/should/by/all/rights/
get/shortened?and&it&includes&arguments
Becomes this:
The problem with links longer than 180 characters not being handled properly has been fixed.

I really like this feature! It makes it much easier to navigate through a particular sub-discussion within the thread.

Re: Yet Another Minor Update Just Installed
Well, I hate it... really clutters up the top of the screen and confused the hell out of me when I woke up to it this morning. I demand this feature is removed stat or I may just sulk about it for the day...

Re: Yet Another Minor Update Just Installed
Your wish is my command!
I figured that not everyone would find this useful, so the feature will soon be enhanced with a button that turns display of the participant table on and off. A user preference will control whether the table is on or off by default.
I apologize that I can't do this stat and that therefore you'll be sulking today, but it can't be helped.
