THIS IS THE NEW FORUM 3-8-20

[CaptK]

It seems to be working as it did. There are still some small issues with it - smileys and maybe avatars seem to be missing? Blech.

Thanks for your patience!

[CaptK]

I got it fixed I think...

[PalmettoSailor]

Nice job!!!

    Thanks for working so hard to keep us connected!

CaptK,

Thanks for your efforts! The transition seems to be seamless except for the loss of avatars (yours works!) and photos/attachments that have been posted. They appear to be there, just not accessible. I've tried, Satari, Firefox, and Chrome. Smileys work!

[CaptK]

(I uploaded a new Avatar... yeah, I cheated... )

I believe the other issues come from a change in the path/directory structure... I have about a dozen other sites I am having to transition right now at the same time (3 different server accounts at once), so if you can bear with it for a couple of days then I'll have the time to be able to deep-dive it and see if I can get that fixed. Thanks!

[CaptK]

While waiting on some large uploads , I figured out the Attachment and Avatar issues; they are fixed now.

Let me know what else you see/notice, thanks! 

[bruce]

A dozen sites! No rush, thanks.

The attachments issue is better. Clicking on the filename downloads the file and it opens. Not as seamless as clicking on a preview image and the window expanding, but it works.

I tried posting on the Testing forum minutes ago, one line of text and a 241 KB photo that I attached successfully on 3/7, and it wouldn't post. Razor's post of 8/30/19 remains the most current.

I tired to upload a new avatar, sized to 241 KB, saved (clicked Change profile), and it didn't take.

Above using Safari.

Update at 9:58: Avatar working on Chrome, still unable to post test message with photo.

[CaptK]

Bruce - maybe try dumping your browser cache, if you haven't? I just tried it myself and attached a pic to a test msg with no issues.

Thanks for the help/feedback! 

[bruce]

That must be Barque in your test msg, what a great name! Jamie says hi.

Huh. I'm guessing this will post, but when I try to attach a photo of my Scottie Jamie, a 212 KB jpg, a 247 KB png, and a 62 KB png sequentially, in Safari, it won't post. Tried the same series in Chrome, same result. Cache cleared before each attempt, and went back to the original message and started a new reply each time. I'll keep playing around. Hopefully others can post photos and it's just me.

Thanks!

[CaptK]

Well, something happened and now I cannot post either. It doesn't seem to start the upload process. I didn't change anything, either.

Arrgh...

[jimhuber2]

Thanks for making this happen!        Jim

[CaptK]

Sure, Jim, thanks!

I think the issues are buried deep in the database, some small corruption with farther reaching consequences. Maybe next week when I have a day I'll put the forum into Maintenance Mode, make a fresh install from untainted code, and then see if adding back in to the new, fresh DB *only* the members, posts, and attachments from this current DB, if that gets us back on track.

So - have fun in the meanwhile.
