Upgrade Today (July 24, 2008)

[GB]

We will be performing a small upgrade to the site today 7-24. It should not take long, but expect some blank pages and the occasional 404 during the upgrade. The upgrade should not take long so these blank pages, if they happen, will only be quick outages.

Thanks GB!
You all take good care of us.

 

[GB]

OK the main upgrade is done. Let us know if you notice any improvement with the speed.

Thanks, GB. Sorry if I stirred things up yesterday.

[GB]

Not sure what you are talking about quicksilver so I am sure you are in the clear

I guess you are still working on the upgrade, flash chat not working, blank page.

 

[GB]

There were two upgrades that were happening today. The main one is done, but the secondary is not.

 

[GB]

All the upgrades are now complete. Chat should be working now. Please let us know if you find anything that is not working or acting weird.

Yes. I get the blank page and 404 twice as fast now!

GB - there is a glitch in the map at the top of the page.

What map?

I still am having the problem with where the cursor goes. When I click on an unread thread, the cursor goes to the Quick Reply box at the end of the thread, even if I click on the title (it should take me to the first post).

This is probably totally unrelated to the updates, but I used to get a popup notification when I received a message from someone.... now if I don't notice it in the upper righthand corner..... well, I don't notice it. This has been going on for a while now, maybe a couple months.

I think this is what Micheal is talking about

Pacanis, you should be able to change that in your User CP.

Andy, someone who was having the same problem mentioned that once they cleared their cache and temp internet files that the problem went away. Have you tried that yet?

Others who use better browsers have reported not having that problem

I am still confused. How is that a map?

I checked his settings and he is already set up to get the pop up.

Pacanis, have do you have a pop up blocker turned on? That would keep you from seeing the PM one.

Sorry, I thought he was refering to the top of the page where the toolbar with "portal" User CP" etc. is

I sure hope I didnt cause all this headache for you all with my "Creepy" thread
If so , Im sorry

I guess I should have read your message before checking my CP myself

Yes, I have a popup blocker turned on. The same one I have always used when I used to receive notification. And it does not prevent me from receiving notification on other boards. Plus, anything that gets blocked I know, just in case I want to turn the blocker off and read what the popup was. I no longer receive the email notification either when I receive a message.
The only changes I can think of was; 1) when I turned off my subscriptions, but that was a while ago, and 2) when the forum started adding features like the friend list and such.
