Title: Jennie, should we dump our cookies again?
Post by: chriskleeman on August 03, 2007, 01:50:11 PM
Hey Jennie,

Should we all dump our cookies again, empty caches, all that good stuff?

Thanks,

Don't know.  I'll see when I get around to doing the upgrade, which got postponed today due to "real life".

Just curious ... I don't look into each forum. I come to the main page and click "View New Posts".

Now that we have 2 forums and 2 subforums or categories or whatever they are called ... none of the "announcements" show up on the new posts page.

So I missed the announcement. Anyhow, figured you'd want to know what's doing what ... or what isn't doing whatever.

Thinking.gif While I see a list of several Archived 'forums', what are the "subforums" you are seeing?

I never see the forums list page as I go directly to the two forums. New posts show up with small reddish icons ( in my skin, anyway ) beside their name. Of course, they also tend to be near the top of the list, anyway. The list does extend below the bottom of the window but there's no reason to scroll unless the "new posts" list gets that long. I'm not sure what the Forums list is good for except for the list of birthdays. I've pretty well got the list of forums memorized by now! tease.gif

In other words, I'm not sure there actually is a problem with the list of new posts on that 'front' page.

However, the "Announcement" function does not seem to use the 'new post' icon as do the regular and "Pinned" topics do. doh.gif Strange, since one might suppose an "Announcement" could be more important than just a pinned topic. dntknw.gif

I'll grab screen snaps off of another board and then come back and share. It will take me several days - I have a busy weekend. smile.gif

Well, there's your prob. You don't visit this place the way I do. harhar.gif

There is - it's minor - but it's there (and I'm pretty sure it's an IPB issue that they will have to resolve. I'll talk to my bud when I have time). I'll explain better when I can come back and spend time here.

I had a PM which came through fine. I tried to reply (twice) but it wouldn't let mine go through. I don't know if that's a function of the upgrade, my OS, or something else. dntknw.gif

Chris:  I think you are ok.  I didn't have any problems.  Let me know if you do.

Gregg:
I do believe it is because of your email address.  If you update the email addy, it may work.  I know the PPM is not coming to you via email, it is a board function to alert you when you log into the board.  It may not allow you to send if the outgoing email is "unavailable", as your email is.

No problems here either.
I was still logged in when I visited today (yesterday I noticed the board was down).

Only thing (but not really a problem) is that I had to change my bookmark from
http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/

to
http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?act=idx
 

Nothing else, all working fine smile.gif

But I wanted you to see that other page.  Hurt.gif Devilish2.gif   It's the "portal" page, and there are things afoot!

Ok, I've changed it back.  I thought it would do something else, but it doesn't.  
http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/ works as before.

I suppose that's a good a guess as any. But, I've sent and replied to PMs in the past...

Thanks for your attention to my little glitch. smile.gif

Maybe parts of the new software won't work with "older" operating systems?! tease.gif

That's something I have always wondered ... just how often does one erase caches, cookies, etc.?

I dump the cache in my browsers especially if I notice a slowdown. I delete cookies from sites that I visit which are related to banks or places I purchase things, etc.  Generally dump stuff where I don't want to leave a track record.

I suspect that may be true, as it worked this morning using Windoze.

However, I had to try three times before I got one to go.
