Oh sorry "site" problems, not personal problems.

[lumberslinger178]

:sun:only problem I see is lack of members posting pictures:happy:

[tsubaki]

The gallerys look great, their broken down by boat types.
Would it be possible to have an index added as to boat year, owners site name to be able to quick reference each album instead of browsing all albums. Currently I believe their listed in order requested or posted.

Hey guys,

Bygracealone here...

My problem is not a direct result of the site upgrade, but the site upgrade has made the problem visible...

When I first joined the forum, I mistyped my login name. I typed Bygraceaone See, it's missing the letter "l" before the "o" I intended for my name to be Bygracealone

Is there any way for the admins to fix this without deleting my history?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

[C YENSEN]

If you ask MJ real nice I am sure he will......

he changed mine for me:sun:

HOT DAMM, pearch got it goin!!


Well, started having problems being able to access the site at about 4:15pm today and it continued till now. HOWEVER I took the time to check other sites ( photobucket and the like) and they also would not open. Could be the time of day with the world trying to do the same thing.
Don’t believe it’s just us.

[tsubaki]

pearch, you got to start another thread about the boat (WITH PICTURES):sun:

[THEFERMANATOR]

pearch, you got to start another thread about the boat (WITH PICTURES):sun:

And how your going to start coming down to FLORIDA and buy boats to haul back to MICHIGAN.:sun:

[tsubaki]

Crusades didn't get that involved.

(p.s. JUST DON'T LOOK RIGHT: A FLORIDA BOAT WITH SNOW ON IT)

[randlemanboater]

I had trouble yesterday at the same time as TSUBAKI. I used the same link from my "favorites" that I always use but it said the site was unavailable. Tried the refresh button a couple times with no success.

I closed the browser and reopened it and it worked fine.

[parishht]

I have noticed that when I type a quick reply, I can type fast and none of the letters are missed.

But then when I go to advanced I get something that looks like this:

I woder if thi is a probem that anyne ese is havng nd
I wonderif it has soethng to do with the sileys

[tsubaki]

Probably the windtalker doing the translation:you:

[valiant_200]

How fast do you have to type to trigger this problem? I type pretty fast and the only problems I have are my own typos.

[THEFERMANATOR]

I've been trying to log in for over an hour, just now made it on. I've been getting an INTERNAL ERROR SERVER message.

[tsubaki]

Got this starting at 4:00pm today, trying to access Forum, Gallery and History.
Internal Server Error

Front page would come up and it continued till 4:35. Hitting refresh and manually typing the address didn’t change things. The Links page opened.
Then starting at 4:35 the front page wouldn’t open. And got this.

And then it resumed to the internal server error. At 5:25 I gave up.
Tried again at 5:50 and got thru.

[tsubaki]

Damm theferm, feel like a siamise twin or something.

[macojoe]

Yes we were down for about a hour to hour & 1/2

It was a server problem not something we could fix, Which made us a bit PO!! Cause we are supose to be switched to another server automatic when ares goes down and it didn't happen that way??

We atr going to be talking to them about that!!:devil:

[tsubaki]

Well I was cut off from responding due to the same thing again.
Well at 6:05 it started again. Figured I was beating a dead horse by 6:25 and proceeded to drink bourbon.
Any way, at least ya'll are on top of it. Didn't know if it was showing up elsewhere.

I will summarize what the server farm told me: Apparently, an automatted failover occured on our main server, resulting in the secondary handling all services. There is an issue with the PHP libraries on the secondary node.

That is real bad. Any problem with PHP will take the board and the Gallery down because they are both heavilly PHP dependent. The home page and the links page will still function, but everything else is hosed. I have been watching this all afternoon, even while at work, and I am logging all outages. There was nothing we could do about it but get with the server farm and tell them to give it a kick. I would kick it personally, but my leg isn't that long. :bat:

[THEFERMANATOR]

Well it's been real hit and miss for me. And now the link to the forum I had saved quit working(http://66.29.78.48/community/index.php). So I went back to the home page and logged in that way and I see were back under the WELLCRAFT V20 address. I also had to log back in again. And the smileys are out for me as well.

If you are using favorites to navigate directly to the forum, please update them now. That address was temporary to allow members access to the site while we were still in transition.

Also, Google has not updated yet so if you google this site, you end up with a dead link to the old YaBB board. The best and surest way of getting here is to go to the home page www.wellcraftv20.com (http://www.wellcraftv20.com) and click on "Forum."

Supposedly the PHP problem is fixed. We will keep an eye on that...

[spareparts]

I've been having problems last night and this morning logging on, i went back and updated my short cut, but it still was giviing problems. Seems to be working fine now

[C YENSEN]

I dont use a shortcut at all and I could not get on all afternoon:bat::bat::bat:

[valiant_200]

I checked the site on and off all afternoon and part of the evening, and it was there everytime I went looking for it. I also checked the error log and there were no errors indicating that the site was unavailable. Not sure why it was down for you. Continuing to monitor this to see if there is a pattern.

[Bygracealone]

Site was unavailable to me for much of the day today...

[Admin]

Yes... and nobody is happy about it. Something out of our control went afoul at the server and the site was down for much of the afternoon. All should be well now.

[tsubaki]

Gotto be completely unrelated to this thread. But my computer picked up a Trojan worm about Monday and is now useless.
The unit is at 10-15 years old and has been updated by my wife to such a point she said "****-it I'll order a new one", "and quit lookin at those porn sites, you don't need them anyway, you got me".
I'll be down a while till the other one gets here.
Meanwhile, I'll sneak on hers here and there.

[parishht]

Just wondering why, when I don't look at the site for a day or two,
threads that I have not read are marked as if I have read them?

[THEFERMANATOR]

It's a login issue that makes posts look like they have already been read. I don't think it's an actual problem, it happens to me on some of the other forums I vist that use Vbulletin. I believe it is just a Vbulletin deal.

[macojoe]

Yep I agree!! Suck it up and live with it! You guys are so picky, I am going back to the old board:love:

[valiant_200]

I think what vBulletin considers to be new posts are posts that have been made within the past 48 hours or so, whether you read them or not. I seem to remember seeing some setting for that when I was setting up the board. I will check into this later when I have a little more time.

I'm glad to see that this is the biggest complaint. :happy:

[bigshrimpin]

Hey MJ - everytime I try to add a pic with the new gallery. I get "Error: Unable to make thumbnail"

http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery1:FAQ#I.27ve_installed_Gallery_and_all_seem s_well._But_when_I_try_to_upload_an_image_it_says_ Unable_to_make_thumbnail.280.29_or_Invalid_image._ What_gives.3F

[macojoe]

Is this before I fixed your log in or after??

When I fixed the Log in it all looked good and I signed in as you, but did not try to upload a pic?

[tsubaki]

Did you have to delete "specs" in "General" or are you working on it?
http://www.wellcraftv20.com/communit...=specs&page=11 (http://www.wellcraftv20.com/community/showthread.php?t=2808&highlight=specs&page=11)

[macojoe]

Never knew it was there? Was it there since the move, or was that before the move??

[tsubaki]

It was started about mid March 2007, after the move I noticed there were duplicate entries to most of the posts. There were also incorrect photo posts (mine and photobuckets problem) I had planned to correct when the post duplication was corrected.
It disappeared sometime after 2/25/08.
The double posting looked like this:
http://www.wellcraftv20.com/community/showthread.php?t=3210

[macojoe]

Thanks, I will get the team on this and see what comes out in th wash!!

[tsubaki]

:love:

[Admin]

Okay, I found the Specs thread and I have manually pruned what are hopefully all of the duplicate posts from it. It took me three days of off and on work to get rid of them all. As you have probably guessed, the duplicate posts are some artifact of the move involving the database. I don't know why the thread itself disappeared. It seemed to have been deleted, so this may have been someone else's attempt at killing the duplicate posts? Do not know.

The biggest problem I see with that thread are the incorrect/missing images. All images should be either attached to the actual post or linked from our own Gallery. Photobucket sucks and should only be used for things you don't care about having tomorrow. Ideally, the creators of the posts with images need to upload their images to someplace stable, (i.e. not PhotoBucket), and edit their posts to display the correct images. If you need a WellcraftV20.com Gallery account, you need to talk with the Maco Man.

:beer:

[tsubaki]

Gotya, gonna start fixing the picture thing.
THANKS AGAIN, Benny

Is there a time limit as to how long I can be logged in and not active? :head: I notice that during the course of the night I have to re-log in from time to time if I was not using or doing anything.

[macojoe]

When you log in make sure you check the box that remembers you. Other then that I am not aware of any time limts?? I have my computer on for days at a time and I am always loged in??

[THEFERMANATOR]

You may also want to check your temporary internet storage size. If you set it really low, then your surfing will be constantly overwriting your cookies which will cause you to not stay logged in.

Also if you are looking at porn and delete the cookies and history you have to login again.:beer:

Yes, your session is limited to 900 seconds of inactivity before you are automatically logged out.
