Website Problems

[Bigwheel]

Is anyone else having problems with the website tonight? Sorry to posts here but I can't even get to the member's list to find a moderator. All other websites are working.

[Bigwheel]

I'm logged in but certain parts of the website are not working. That's good though (haha)

[intheruff]

I've had problems for two weeks and last Sunday couldn't post or send pm. I've sent three messages to the moderator however no reply. I cleaned up my harddrive and now all seems to be ok. Probably just a temporary website problem.

[aydee]

Is it me or is it shooting blanks? been doing this for a couple of days, the others work fine...

[drummerchick435]

You're not alone. All the ones with a drop down menu don't work for me!

[Steamer]

Not just you my friend and NOT my computer. Can't send PM's or get to composing and sending PM's from user profile pages either {won't scroll down}.

I get "done, but with errors on page" going to the DW forum home page on my PC for the last couple of days..

I'm sure the people flipping the bill for this forum service we all enjoy for free are working on the problems as we speak Abe :}

[Bruce_B]

I can't get the search function to work. When I click on the search link I get nothing. Is there something wrong with it or is it just me?

Read the related thread regarding the recent updates and the various "issues".

Add the search function to the list of problems but not coming from my computer either. I crossed checked on other PC's and types of browsers and I still get "done, but with errors" for the DW forum homepage ONLY for the last 3 days.

Sure the owners of this site are looking into a fix after the latest update.

[Bruce_B]

I see. Updating software always seems to cause problems.

[dkerwood]

Heh. I thought it was just me. I keep just opening it in a new tab, and it works great.

[Bruce_B]

That works, thanks. Weird though.

I would but I can't open it, nor can I search or open "Quick Links". I feel better knowing it's not just me. :0)

[ExPLiciT]

my search, quick links, forum tools, and search this forum are all broken. i cant start a new thread to tell people ahhh lol

[805Drummer]

It almost seems to me that they are not links anymore...I'm in Safari, and when I click on either Search, Community, or Quick Links, nothing happens. Absolutely nothing at all.

[Pass.of.E.r.a.]

hmmm I'm having the search function problem as well and for some reason, about half the pictures people put in posts don't appear..... it just says "Attachment" with a box around it. no picture. really makes it hard to search through the volumes of drum porn..... XD

-Jonathan

[dkerwood]

To access all the broken links up top, just open them in a new tab or window OR manually type the address into your browser.

As far as the missing attachment pics, that was busted a week ago. :-)

[Bernhard]

Yes, I'm aware.....help is on the way...

Bernhard

[konaboy]

Anyone else having this problem, I've subscribed to quite a few threads and some I've started yet I've not received notification there were replies to them. Just noticed it in the past week or so

[michael drums]

Yea...

Having problems posting(sometimes)

Having problems PM'ing(every time)

Looks like Bernhard is sending help, though! ;-)

[Steamer]

Tabs are gone today too I noticed at the bottom of each thread {?}. Since PM's are down we need to share our findings with the updates on the open forum threads like this one.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

PM's aren't down at all - they're functioning. What is not functioning, however, is the re-direct link back into your inbox.

[jeffwj]

PMs are not working for me.

Jeff

[Garvin]

I just spent about 5 minutes on a post, and then the thread disappeared... Aliens? Tha guvment? I'm scared...

[Steamer]

PM's aren't down at all - they're functioning. What is not functioning, however, is the re-direct link back into your inbox.

Not on my end Mediocrefunkybeat. Might be a type of browser issue. I did recieve a few without the re-direct like you mentioned but cannot send out a reply {page error when sent}. Could be just like the older pics issue related to the updates like not showing jpg's but showing others types based on your browser of choice.

Ok. If it helps, I'm using Firefox version 3.0.6. I'll test on Safari to see if that makes any difference.

EDIT: Ok, so browser is definitely a factor in this. Safari 3.2.1 works perfectly at the moment, re-directing me straight to the page after sending a test PM. Firefox 3.0.6 sends the PM but doesn't re-direct me back to my inbox. Steamer, which browser are you using? IE 7 or 8?

[805Drummer]

I know this is somewhat irrelavant, but unless you have to use it for work, Internet Explorer is the absolute worst browser choice ever. It's security, speed, ease-of-use, EVERYTHING, is inferior to the other ones. I suggest Firefox, Safari, or Opera.

[GRUNTERSDAD]

I am usi ng Firefox with a mac and found that if I want to click on a members name to check their info it won't work. However if I right click then click open it dies work.

Have you downloaded the new update? I downloaded it today and this doesn't appear to be an issue.

[Steamer]

. Steamer, which browser are you using? IE 7 or 8?

Windows XP Pro and Internet Explorer which may appear to be the problem ONLY for this forum site Mediocrefunkybeat.

I'm using Firefox 3.0.6 and I still can't send PMs. I'm also still not seeing about 50% of pics.

Well it's recently been updated (the forum that is) so there are still bugs. It's just a trifle annoying, but doesn't seem to affect the functionality of any of it.

[TheGroceryman]

Well i find the search function to be pretty weak. I mean i typed in the EXACT name of a thread in the search, and lo and behold two pages down i find the thread i was looking for, when it probably should've been the first option.

Oh, it's always been like that. If you search for "pdp 805," NOTHING comes up. But this isn't something Bernhard can fix, it's more likely a problem with vBulletin, the website that powers this forum.

[michael drums]

Well...


I'm still having the occasional problem posting. Anyone else?

Sometimes when I hit the "Submit Reply" tab, it hesitates for about a minute, then I get a "database error" screen, and I'll log back on to drummerworld.com, and I go to the forum and find out that I'm NOT logged off, and that my comment IS posted on the thread.

This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. I hope they're working on it.


;-)

[Vipercussionist]

Yeah, I've had that happen a few times, usually my first post of the day, then it seems to go on OK from there.

Funny, it actually happened on THAT last post!!!!

[michael drums]

Not surprising.


It's more the norm lately, unfortunately. :-(

But...it could be worse. ;-)

Good Luck!

[michael drums]

As it JUST did with me.


Uhh...

[tomgrosset]

I can't seem to send private messages.

Just click submit reply a gazillion times and it will go thru

Ahhh...

I'll try that, razorx.


Thanks!! ;-)

[BattleArmor]

PM's are working just fine for me as of 5 minutes ago.

[joshisaces]

I can't view my profile visitor messages :( or anyone's profile for that matter.
I'm really hating the bugs in the DW website.

Quite correct yet another bug in the ointment.....

Just checked and I can't view my stored PM"s or my public profile page now today {database error page}

VERY frustrating! I just want it to end! when you have a message that you can't read, it just eats you alive! hehe. if it's just somebody saying "hey" I'm going to be really mad :)

[michael drums]

Nah!


Try to go to PM, and I get that darn database error page! :-(


DRATS!!!!!!!!!

[joshisaces]

But that doesn't solve the problem, unfortunately. :-(


This is one of those issues that will test our patience.


zzz...

[bobdadruma]

I can't be vain and visit my profile page. I'm sure that it will all be over soon! DW will return to normal and all will be right with the world! Perhaps DW could declare itself insolvent due to bad loans and the US Gov. will bail us out!

IHATETHIS D;

[Ian Williams]

Thanks Bernhard, Nutha, Dogbreath and technical staff. The problem was fixed, for me. I hope for others, too.

[BattleArmor]

The profile pages were not working yesterday and now, they work. As well as PM.s for me anyway.

[michael drums]

Thanks Bernhard, Nutha, Dogbreath and technical staff. The problem was fixed.

Uhhh...


Not so fast, iw!

I'm still having the occasional glitch posting. And PM is definitely NOT functioning...EVER!


Sorry buddy. :-( I had to chime in to say that.


Drats!

[michael drums]

Yep!


It just went to that darn database error page on that last post just now. :-(

Definitely NOT fixed, folks!


Dag nabbit!

[Bernhard]

The old attached pictures should be here again....

...still working on the issue with replying PM's...

...any other issues still???

Bernhard

[joshisaces]

Personal profiles are working again!
All is well!
haven't tried out PM's yet though. The posts go through fine now.

I just tried to post THAT same message and it happened :P

Haven't tried to PM yet today but this is still showing under the top of the page AFTER you are logged in B. :

"Welcome to Drummerworld Discussion Forum. To view the newest messages first, you should register and log in."

[Steamer]

Okay here's my latest findings on PM's B. with a bit of a change from before. I'm not on my own computer so it's not related to the ongoing problems experienced with my own browser and DW.

No longer getting the database error page BUT it takes so long to process sending a PM that I get sent back to this page to require me to log in yet again. Tried twice same deal:

"You are not logged in or you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
You are not logged in. Fill in the form at the bottom of this page and try again.
You may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Log in "

[michael drums]

Nope!


Still can't PM as of 3:40 PM EST today, Feb. 13, 2009. :-(

Though, I did "receive" 4 repeated PM's from Bernhard today. And I tried to PM him back, AND to try to forward them to him, but to no avail. :-(


Patience continues it's test. :-|

[risendrummer]

Try emailing Bernard just a suggestion.

bernhard@drummerworld.com

Nope!

Pics are back! Thanks, Bernhard. It's only a problem if it doesn't get fixed. So, nice work.

PM is still down and the about half the time posting glitch, though. :-(


But the patience test is still running. ;-)

[Steamer]

One more question for you Bernhard.

Are the previously setup and used Tags and the Tag function in general we use to have up till recently that disappeared a few weeks ago coming back too?

[michael drums]

Well...


PM is still down. :-(

I wonder if the DW powers that be will have this worked out sometime this week? Seems like it's taking a while to de-bug this, huh?


I really hope that it's not too serious of a glitch. :-|


hmmm....

[joshisaces]

Posting is better for me now.

[joshisaces]

Are you kidding! I'm going to stop posting in this thread because whenever the posts are going good I always inform here, and it never works anymore! hahahah

[michael drums]

[Elvis]

Does anyone else here "subscribe" to all the threads they've either created or taken part in?
I do, and as of Valentine's day, while I still received the email alert, the body of the message is blank.
I get the subject and the "from" and "to", but no message and/or linky. Blank.

Anyone else having this problem?

On the sunny side of the news, my PM capabilities seemed to have returned.
It seemed to successfully send one out, anyway.




Elvis

[michael drums]

Hey!


Elvis is right. The PM is back in business! At least, it is for us two.


But hope it is for everyone else also. ;-)


And, THANKS have to go out to the ones responsible for gettin' us back on the PM track!


Much obliged, guys! ;-)

[Elvis]

...now what about those subscriptions that have no message?


Elvis
