Trifletraxor Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Just to let you know I just got 'Byron Alexander, you do not have permission to access this page' when I went to http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/ (which is the page I have bookmarked). It isn't a big problem, I'm here obviously, I just clicked on the 'Forum' button and got to http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/forum.php As it is a bug, though, I thought I'd let you know its happening. Do you still have this problem now that the CMS is "up"? The default destination for http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/ is the "Home" (CMS) section, that haven't worked previously. And, oddly enough, my own post above appears blank except for the sig as well. I think it *may* have something to do with whether the reply was made using the "Reply To Thread" button (my first post, which is blank) or just the "Reply" link tied to an individual message. Very weird. Anyone else having this problem? I've tested replies in different modes without being able to reproduce that problem. What kind of browser do you use? Me too. The site also refuses to remember my user name and login. I use Chrome, but didn't have this problem under the old regime. Okay, I'll download Chrome and see if it's a browser specific problem or something else. Hmmm... I still can't find the two recent threads I tried - the one on negative damage modifiers and the one about armour spawned by the linen armour link. Is it just that my search-fu is weak? Could they be part of the sacrifice? Atgxtg needed 2 weeks of threads to not end the world you know. If they were startet less than two weeks ago then that could be it. SGL.

The Venomous Pao Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Very weird. Anyone else having this problem? I've tested replies in different modes without being able to reproduce that problem. What kind of browser do you use? It happens using Camino (a native Cocoa version of Firefox) on Mac OS X 10.6.2, but not on Firefox or Safari (which I must sheepishly admit that I hadn't tested with yet, since Camino is my main browser for non-work things). So it definitely seems to be browser-specific. Odd. Quote 75/420 --- Geek blogging at http://strangestones.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Unless the Home page consists only of a message that tells me that I have no permission to access it, I seem to have the same problem as Byron Alexander.

Trifletraxor Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Could you try accessing the CMS page again? There's one article there now, maybe that was the problem? Also, are everyone having this problem, or just a select group? SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a big problem, I'm here obviously, I just clicked on the 'Forum' button and got to http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/forum.php Ditto. Also using Chrome (obviously, I can't use IE anymore now our EuroMasters have told us not to...) Ah ... everything posted over the last two weeks is gone ? :shocked: I feel rust's pain on this one. He's posted an absolute shed-load of stuff for his SciFi setting - and it's been totally wiped. Can it - and perhaps other stuff from the Lost Fortnight - be restored, please? I'm also a little saddened the BRP QuickStart downloads count has been put back to 127-ish again. It was up to 357+ and going well. I also don't know if the new download is from the same URL as I have merrily been posting about various forums... will eager new potential BRP-players now just be getting broken link?

They control the BBC, the main political party leaderships, NHS & local council executives, much of the police, most newspapers and the utility companies. Of course the EU is theirs, through-and-through. And they are among us - a pervasive evil, like Stasi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not miss the material I have posted there, because I do of course have that material here, too. What I really miss are all the excellent posts from others with their ideas and proposals for the setting. While I made notes, I did not copy the entire posts, and so quite a lot of good ideas went into the Internet Nirvana. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

frogspawner Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 OK here's a (new?) bug - couldn't upload a PDF file. (I was trying to replace the PDF version of rpgstarwizard's alien-generation one I uploaded the other day, which has been zapped). The error message told me the file types I'm limited to uploading is: Quote Britain has been infiltrated by soviet agents to the highest levels.

To be honest, I'm happy that we didn't loose more. I had some hours of gut-wrenching vertigo where I was afraid that we'd lost it ALL. I'm not even going to prod that database for quite some time now. We're stable now, and I probably don't need any more downtime to fix the rest. So, I'm sorry, but it's quite lost. (And I think Atgxtg will refuse to regurgitate any of it) I'm also a little saddened the BRP QuickStart downloads count has been put back to 127-ish again. It was up to 357+ and going well.

Byron Alexander Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Do you still have this problem now that the CMS is "up"? The default destination for http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/ is the "Home" (CMS) section, that haven't worked previously. Funnily enough, when I accessed the site about a minute ago I did still have the problem. However, just now I followed that link AND used my bookmark and both took me to the homepage. So it seems to have been fixed in the last minute by my reckoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trifletraxor Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 CMS bug should be fixed now. Now I must just fill it up with content... SGL. Quote Ef plest master, this mighty fine grub! 116/420. High Priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trifletraxor Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Okay, some of the worst stuff seems to be fixed. Getting late here i Norway, so I'm heading to bed. 25 hrs shift at the hospital tomorrow, so I won't get any work done then, but keep the bug rapports coming, and I'll continue working on it on Thursday.

frogspawner Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The links files in the download section should still be valid. They are too. (Just found one and tested it). Phew! So, I'm sorry, but it's quite lost. How about restoring the latest pre-upgrade backup into your TEST area, dumping off anything after the latest date we now have into a text file, an posting that for peeps to mine and re-post if they think it vital?

(Any mileage or interest in that, anyone?) It would be nice to get a chance to look at those posts again and to make notes of what I missed when they were still there. However, after some bad experiences with other fo- rums' problems, I suspect that what we have now is already the latest pre-upgrade back- up. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

frogspawner Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 How about these...? 1. The "Go to first unread post" buttons, on each Forum's thread list screen, don't. They just go to the top of the first page with an unread post on it. 2. The "Go to first unread post" button, in the threads themselves, work ok - but the "View First Unread" text is crashed into and written-over the button - in Chrome (but is fine in IE).

frogspawner Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) And another one... I have now re-added the lost "alien generation system (PDF version)" But it hasn't appeared on in the Downloads list (should be in SciFi|Other) or on the Latest Downloads sidebar list. PS: Though curiously, it has updated the uploads count both for me and for that area... (and you can find it if you "Search Downloads"). Weird!

travellingbeetle Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The Home page is now accessible to me. :thumb: With time, the "Home" page will become the new startpage, with articles and news arranged in sections. Still needs a couple of weeks before that's ready though. What about the graphics ones, like jpeg and png ? xls and ods - the microsoft XL and Open Office Calc extensions. Also, I was thinking of one day adding some sketchup files - the extension for those is .skp. Plus we have at least one ODF currently. That's a thought - look through the existing downloads and see what extensions they have? Added jpg, png, gif, skp, ods & xls before I went to work. I'll add jpeg tomorrow. What kind of extension is ODF? Looking through the downloads and their files sounds like a good idea. How about restoring the latest pre-upgrade backup into your TEST area, dumping off anything after the latest date we now have into a text file, an posting that for peeps to mine and re-post if they think it vital? (Any mileage or interest in that, anyone?) I never managed to set up the test area. All the databases newer than the one I used are corrupted in some way. How about these...? 1. The "Go to first unread post" buttons, on each Forum's thread list screen, don't. They just go to the top of the first page with an unread post on it. Yes, that's a software bug. I reported it in the vbulltin forum and have gotten a fix I will implement once I'm home. 2. The "Go to first unread post" button, in the threads themselves, work ok - but the "View First Unread" text is crashed into and written-over the button - in Chrome (but is fine in IE). I'll look into it when I'm home. Have to download Chrome and check it out. And another one... I have now re-added the lost "alien generation system (PDF version)" But it hasn't appeared on in the Downloads list (should be in SciFi|Other) or on the Latest Downloads sidebar list. PS: Though curiously, it has updated the uploads count both for me and for that area... (and you can find it if you "Search Downloads"). Weird! Hmm... Maybe there's some moderator default rules in play. I'll get a fix on that tomorrow. The Remember Me setting is now working. If you fixed this Trif, many thanks! Not me. Must be magic.
