Foot.ie Update

[tetsujin1979]

is everything gone blue or am I becoming red deficient?

[Dunny]

[nigel-harps1954]

Same here, someone done an update? It's running smoother for some reason here too..

[Mr A]

[Mr_Parker]

IIRC foot.ie was blue back in the day?
It definitely wasn't always green anyway

[thischarmingman]

My eyes! The goggles, they do nothing!

[dahamsta]

Upgrade this evening. Preparatory work.

[dahamsta]

Done. I'll fix the style tomorrow. Head wrecked.

[harpin]

What's the story with the scroll bars on every reply? Can barely make out posts of one sentence

[Macy]

Done. I'll fix the style tomorrow. Head wrecked.
I was getting blank screen in both ie8 and firefox yesterday evening. Seems ok here in work (also ie8).

[tetsujin1979]

Looks like the mobile skin is not working as well, I can only get the full version of the site on my phone

[dahamsta]

Mobile skin is gone, I'll reinstalled it when I fix the main skin. harpin, what OS / browser / resolution are you on>

Look at ya giving Umbro ideas.

Adam, any idea when the mobile profile will be back, I had to do work today!

[dahamsta]

There's some corruption in the styles database and I don't want to introduce anything new until it's fixed. I have vBulletin looking into it.

[Mr A]

Quick reply seems to be doing some weird stuff. If you type in stuff and leave it for a bit a little yellow box with Auto-Saved pops up in the bottom right of the text box.

Then when you hit 'Post Quick Reply' you sometimes see a warning saying you could lose saved data if you navigate away from the page. The post works- but it's a bit annoying and could lead to people either losing posts or posting multiple times by mistake.

Am on Firefox 7.0.1

[dahamsta]

The 1st behaviour is intentional, replies are now saved automatically to save long posts being lost on timeout. The latter is probably a result of that?

[dahamsta]

I've switched style caching back on now, should be a bit quicker. Working on getting back to green now, but it'll take some time.

[Mr A]

I couldn't get the behaviour to repeat, so looks like it's fixed.

It's a good idea, it just shouldn't trigger a warning when what you're doing is hitting the post button :)

[dahamsta]

Could have been a local caching issue though, i.e. old javascript.

[BonnieShels]

Another thing that is coughing up since teh upgrade is that you can't (or I can't at any rate) post in the full site from my phone.

HTC Desire running Android OS 2.2.

Just a heads up.

[Schumi]

Not sure if it's related to this upgrade but the site is really slow for me this afternoon.

Using Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows XP.

[pineapple stu]

Yeah, back to being really slow for me too. Google chrome; Windows Vista.

[dahamsta]

Never tuned this server when I migrated across a while back, and it obviously isn't up to the newer versions of vB as-is. I've rebooted the server to load in a new kernel, upgraded the cache, and done some basic tuning to MySQL. I'll do some more fine-tuning over the next few days, and if that doesn't work I'll move it to one of my spares. Should be quicker already though.

[pineapple stu]

Probably slower for me now actually.

[dahamsta]

Ok, those adjustments seem to cause a memory overrun. I'll try again tonight.

Mobile style is back.

[BonnieShels]

Mobile style is back.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. I have been gone off my head with boredom in work the last week.

[dahamsta]

Note that automatic read marking will be wonky for a few days, I've had to disable anything that's using resources. The search engine is disabled too. It'll all be back next week.

Sounds like a very sick puppy ..:computer:

[BonnieShels]

Set up mobile style last night on the phone and now I can't get it off as the settings are not available in mobile style. Come back the old foot.ie, all is forgiven.

For a gypo you've decent taste in music, great band the jayhawks.

I'm still getting those scroll bar things.

[nigel-harps1954]

It's all grand here. Quite liking the blue in fact. Used to it now, back to green and I'll have to adjust my eyes again.

[dahamsta]

I actually quite like it myself. Might make it an option alongside green. Had to put off building the server until Friday, but we should be back up and running with all features by Monday.

[BonnieShels]

Couple of things have popped up whilst using the full-site on my phone, last week I couldn't post which I got over and just resisted but as of yday, every time I click on any link on the page even it's just a page number, I get sent to Amazon. It's almost like the right hand side of the page is one giant link for Amazon.

One thing I am missing though is the original mobile site which was so easy to use and navigate around.

Also New posts aren't showing up as bolded on the main /forum page so I am missing out on things all the time.

[dahamsta]

I noticed the Amazon thing myself, seems to be a bad IFRAME embed, I'll take a look at it later in the week. I can only run one mobile theme, and although this one has it's shortcomings, in my view it's better overall. I'll need feedback from other people if I'm to revert. The lack of read notifiers is as a result of the features that I've switched off for performance reasons, these'll be back later in the week or early next week. I have to move another service off this machine, and it's a critical one so I can't rush it.

[CraftyToePoke]

I am experiencing some problems with the site since pre the server upgrade you had on the banner last week which havent come right post upgrade.

The site isnt keeping unchecked/unread threads in bold for me, or when I refresh the page, all threads on that page lose their bold, thus making it difficult to remain up to speed with discussions I am following. The 'View First Unread' function - when available - has been inaccurate.

The drop down navigation menu on the bottom right has vanished, and the skip to 'top' function also. I found these really useful when getting round the site, now I have to always scroll up to the top of the page and return to 'Forum' to got to a new section.

Apologies if all or some of this has been covered in the previous pages, only had time for a skim through it.

Anyone else missing the drop menu ?

[Dunny]

Will the what's new search function be back, adam?

[SkStu]

im still getting the scroll bars and whereas i used to be able to leave the site and still have unread threads showing as unread when i returned, now it seems to mark all threads/forums read when i leave and return and even sometimes while i am still in foot.ie (e.g. I click into a thread and come back out and all threads in that forum are showing as read). Its actually gotten a lot worse since the initial upgrade.

[Dunny]

Getting the unread thing aswell stu.

[nigel-harps1954]

Me three.

[dahamsta]

Sorry lads, still haven't moved that server. Bit busy atm, I'll get to it this weekend.

[tetsujin1979]

Noticed strange behaviour since the last update
Normally, when I log in to the site, all the unread posts are left unread if I don't open them, and I can come back and check them later
But recently, it looks like logging in marks everything as read and I'm missing new posts

So, say there's a new entry in the "Say anything, whatever's on your mind thread", but I don't click the "go to most recent post" button and leave the forum
When I come back, that thread is marked as read, with no new posts, even though I haven't read it.

Just me or anyone else?

[passinginterest]

I think it's the same for everyone until all the functionality is turned back on after the server move or whatever is happening. This combined with not being able to just hit "what's new" to view the most recent posts has made me almost stop coming onto the site at all over the last week or so.
