Forum Issues

[Gisli]

As you can't help but notice, there have been a number of changes to the forums. Primarily these relate to (1) updating the version of the VBulletin software, and (2) Changing this site to be more of a Ravensflyte guild site that spans various games, and less of a Warhammer or Aion site. One of the changes was to shift the "home" domain to www.ravensflyte.org.

Between the domain name changes and the software changes, you might be experiencing various login-related problems. I've heard that some people aren't able to login at all. Be sure to let us know if this is happening to you. Personally, I am having various problems with the site remembering me, and recognizing when I have logged in. Here is something that works for me, and might help you. When I come back to the site, it usually won't recognize me, even though I have turned on those settings. But if I click on the "forum" button, it usually then knows who I am and gives me appropriate access.

Isak tells me that there is a known bug in the software related to this, that should be fixed in the not-to-distant future.

"But if I click on the "forum" button, it usually then knows who I am and gives me appropriate access."

Aha! Danke.

Ool, :sorcerer: in these times.

My issue was that while it would say I was logged on as me, I wouldn't be able to access the Aion:Ravensflyte section.

Thanks I'll try that.

If you still have problems let me know. Flipping some permissions on and off seems to get them set correctly.

Clicking the "Go to new post" button next to the thread title (for threads with new posts, obviously) only takes me to the top of the page where the new posts start, not jumping down to the new post like it's supposed (and used) to. This happens in both Chrome and Firefox.

I think it has to do with the search friendly URL's. I dialed them back one and it appears to work for the front index, but if you are in a forum it seems to be hit or miss.

I dunno.

The "goto=newpost" parameter is successfully being converted to a post number (my address bar shows showthread.php?3552-Forum-Issues&p=25835 now after clicking the new post link for this thread), but it does not seem to be using that number to do anything.


Edit:

Interesting...

The #6 at the top right of your post links to showthread.php?3552-Forum-Issues&p=25835#post25835, which does jump down. Note that that link has the same p=25835#post25835 even if I enter the thread by clicking the title but manually shortening it to showthread.php?3552-Forum-Issues#post25835 also works.


Edit:

Without the p= query, it doesn't know that it might need to go to a different page in a multi-page thread, so both the query and the fragment are necessary and it's just not adding the fragment properly.
