Just had a 'funny' with e-mail notification. I responded to a Thread (this one: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...-long-program)) and some time later got an e-mail notification
However, there was no new post by Keekeee14. Now, I suppose they could have deleted it by the time I looked for it, however I also noticed that a thread I had previously responded to (this one:http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...ock-UDP-please) had been updated and I am still waiting (after half an hour) to get the e-mail notification.Code:Hello Doogle,
keekeee14 has just replied to a thread you have subscribed to entitled - Its suppose to have a trivia for each decade.Help!!( its a long program) - in the Visual Basic 6 and Earlier forum of VBForums.
This thread is located at:
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=687761&goto=newpost
I guess it may all just be circumstantial but could the Database have got its Knickers in a Twist ?
EDIT: Don't Panic - Just got the e-mail notification I was expecting - patience is a virtue. I assume Mods et al can confirm that Keekeee14 deleted their new post.
I received that message with code mentioned in post #182. I haven't receive any other message with code in it for you.Quote:

I did take a long time entering this post - but I certainly only clicked the "POST QUICK REPLY" button once!!.
Then after a short delay - few seconds - the pop-up appeared.
It's very alarming to see a message like this about "losing your changes" - and feeling that you don't want to click either OK or CANCEL!!!
Nope, no deleted posts from this thread.Quote:

I wonder if it's the auto save feature kicking in while waiting on the save call... *shrug* At any rate, I've found that hitting the "Leave page" allows it to continue, and usually takes me to the page where I am notified I posted too soon ... the source of some of the double-posts out there... I don't resubmit the post... I jsut back my way out of the thread... and I haven't lost a post yet...

Still getting the occasional total blackout of this website ... no response whatsoever, not even to pinging. Just happened a few minutes ago ... the 2nd or 3rd time this week for me. Even this site reported it as being down. This is getting old real fast. :mad:
I find the site is performing much much better than it has been last week. It is definitely improving.
Thats true, but still not back to 'normal'. It still is slow if i compare it with before the upgrade.
I was away for a week, and only returned today. The site doesn't appear any better to me. I got a few database errors and timeouts. When it works, it works well, but it doesn't work consistently.
That navigate away from page popup still appears for me! Is anyone else experiencing this?
It happens with me too.Quote:

I received that database error when I tried entering this thread.Quote:

As an FYI - on Friday, I elevated the issue with a few people internally. On Monday, i'll be on our corporate office and will bring up the issues again in person.
Brad!
Well yes and no. I can't help noticing that you're using VBulletin 4.1.5 which is not by any means the latest version, other sites being operated with 4.2.0 and no difficulties of any kind.Quote:

So I go to CLOSE THE BROWSER window - and I did not get the ABOUT TO NAVIGATE away message!!
Isn't that the whole point of the message?
Well, actually, no. Not now we have auto save. It's usually safe to leave the page these days .... which just makes the false showings all the more annoying!Quote:

Yes, I suffer the same pains when using this forum as you guys. I'm a horrible typist - I type everything twice - first wrong, then I fix it. :) When I did the above post, it was one of those times where the forum decided not to show what I was typing until a few seconds (very long seconds) after I entered it. As such, I didn't catch all the typos....Quote:

Brad!
Shoot brad, I don't blame you :] so don't be hard on yourself. In fact, today the performance is a huge improvement then it was a couple days ago. I'm glad to see that we're making solid steps forward to fix the issues at hand.
It is difficult to draw any sort of parallels between direct versions of the software, there are just far too many variables! For instance, the shear size of the database that VBForums must be using given the number of threads, posts, users, and level of traffic.Quote:

Did something change today? Yesterday I was getting LOTS of delays when posting. Today, I have been here for some time, and it has worked flawlessly. There is a difference, though, since I am now on a MUCH faster connection.
I'm not sure what performance improvements you guys are talking about, but I'm sure not seeing any improvements. It's really bad today for me ... very slow & getting database errors. :(
I've gotten 1 database error today, which is 90% better than yesterday :]
Got a trailing comma that doesn't look good here...
Yeah, performance went right back down this afternoon. Things were FLYING this morning, but not so much, now. Lots of DB errors and the navigation dialog.
Yet more multiple posts here!
Edit:
You must be lucky! I don't get one, looking at the current users browsing this thread.Quote:

That would be why I don't see the trailing comma I am using fire fox.
Hmm, I am not convinced...Quote:

Could this be user specific?

Most probably, it would be a small mistake in the PHP code of the forum software. But I am not really sure about it. :)
The following is a similar situation where it would output an extra "," at the end:
Here when joining the array, if the last element in the array is empty or contains only white spaces, then the joined text would contain an extra space at the end.PHP Code:<?php
$users_viewing_thread[] = "akhileshbc";
$users_viewing_thread[] = "gep13";
$users_viewing_thread[] = "guest1";
$users_viewing_thread[] = ""; //an empty element - this would affect the implode(aka array join) function's output
$output = implode( ', ', $users_viewing_thread );
echo $output; // will output the following string: "akhileshbc, gep13, guest1,"
?>
Output of the above code would be:
Just a guess.. :pCode:akhileshbc, gep13, guest1,
:wave:
@ gep, tested in IE and Chrome too and I don't get the trailing comma either.
the member list is disabled... could you enable it?
It looks like IE8 shows the trailing comma, IE9 doesn't...
Attachment 90761
This was turned off during testing, as it was identified as a component that could be adding to the performance problems. It will hopefully get turned on once all the testing/investigation is completed.Quote:

i have seen little response to issues (other than the main speed one) posted in this thread, this includes code or highlight buttons on the quick reply window, breadcrumbs at the bottom, and the poor highlight syntax of the new forum
is anything going to be done about some of these, anytime soon?
i do like the thread started date, with the thread starter in the forum list, something i inquired about previously

Not without a code snippet that enables use to use Ctrl+Alt+LeftShift+Elbow+Cripplefingers+B as a shortcut.

To say nothing of customising a hotkey combo for the purpose!Quote:

Something that happened to me yesterday(and I forgot to do a print screen) was the formatting of the thread was all messed up. Like the 1/2 of one post was ontop of another and my quick reply was behind a bunch of post, ect. All I had to do was refresh(F5) the webpage and it was formatted correctly.
I saw the same bad formatting while uploading attachments - and I ignored it for a few days.
Then when I thought it was time to post a screeen shot here of the attachement popup being all out of whack - and it decides to work!
So they either fixed it or it's hard to duplicate.
I knew I got something messed up:( I used BBKing tags, and all I got were the blues.Quote:

I'm guessing that "Last Week" means the previous Monday through Sunday time span. So if your message is 11 days old, that would date it at Monday, 8/13 ... which in my mind is still "Last Week".Quote:

double posts, database errors, + "Leave this page" messages today.

Hmmm, seems to view the single post only, the easiest way is to just replace "&viewfull=1" with "&perpage=1" in the link.Quote:

I only wish it was written in .Net instead of PHP. At least it would give me another example of balky, slow, and erratic performance offered by .Net that I could point to. I make good money ripping .Net "solutions" and replacing them with efficient, clean burning VB6 alternatives! ;)
But more frustrating are the many, many times a day when it appears to have crashed and be restarting from its ashes.
And then you have those herky-jerky popups about leaving the page - that usually don't even apply. Don't get me started on the awful, goofy Manage Attachments dialog. Or the stupid AJAX "draft saving" that seems erratic. or... well tons of things.
And strangly enough we still have the stupid "scripted window" alerts when you click on "link" and "bulleted list" and other buttons - even though other vBulletin sites haven't had these for years.
About the only thing that brings me back here is that there is still enough posting volume here for the site to be considerd "alive." Other forum sites covering this same topic seem to be fading away to nothing.
