Forum Bugs and Suggestions

**Skylover** · 01-26-2012, 06:06 AM

replying is slow but it works fine for me, just have to click many times

**Amaury** · 01-26-2012, 04:56 PM

Strange, I'm not encountering any of these problems.
Could it maybe just be with newly registered users?

Just noticed this issue today:
When doing google search and following the links it always leads to a blank white page with "Page not found" on it.
But if using the site's search engine it will go to all the threads that I'm looking for.

Not sure if it's Google's or FFshrine's internal bug (or whatever it should to be called), but it's a little inconvenient because google was always faster to find the right topic, if using the right key words.

The only bug I'm seeing is that when I click on View Forum Leaders on the Quick Links drop-menu, I get a white page with this:

A user just asked my attention on this.

If we see his posts, you have certain info. But if you go see his profile, everything is wrong.
It seems his account has been RESET. He had like 50 likes or less (can't recall exactly), friends list was deleted, as well as the profile messages that we exchange together. And the join date is wrong. In his posts it shows one date, but when you click to see his profile, it shows another info that is not even EQUAL that is shown to us. :/

In here see his post. "post 3"

when you click to see its profile...
http://forums.ffshrine.org/members/hcl.html

everything is wrong.

Have anyone encountered this problem too?
I have sent a PM to Jessie about that.

I have some questions if it can make the account to go back as its original shape.
Another weird thing, is that I gave him some "likes" and they are not shown in the his profile. I gave those likes today..... and the likes giving to him are there. You can all see.
also, it does not shows his post AT ALL as well as STARTED THREADS

Looks like the user's last activity was on July 9, 2009.

Mine is just a guess, but probably this issue is happening because of the change in subforums/threads' URLs format.

Previously they looked like this:

Code:

http://forums.ffshrine.org/subforumID/thread-title-ID/pagenumber.html

And now they're:

Code:

http://forums.ffshrine.org/subforumName/ID-thread-title-pagenumber.html

Either redirects aren't occuring or Google still has the old format cached and needs to update.

EDIT:
Redirects work from the old format:

After the forum directories got reset, the links within my megathreads now direct to nowhere. Will they resest themselves eventually, or do I have to fix all of them manually?
Respectfully,

**Jessie** · 01-27-2012, 08:21 PM

The links in the threads in your sig all seem to work fine for me.

That could be the reason indeed... either way I can't really experiment with anymore, because the issue disappeared, everything's back to normal and redirection from Google works fine again. Hopefully the issue is not coming back.

Okay so yesterday i had reformatted my computer and when i tried to log in to ffs, i forgot my password, so while trying to guess the password i used up all my log in attempts, so then i had jessie reset my password again and he could log in but i was stuck with the quotia limit. So no choice to make a second account, but the bugs are still present. while i cuold still log in i still have posting issues and this code is at the top of my window.

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

When i post it takes me to a blank page with the same quote an i have to refresh the forum again.

Is anyone but me experiencing these bugs?

**Sarah** · 02-01-2012, 08:09 PM

fixed some things, does it work for you now?

**OrangeC_Legacy** · 02-01-2012, 08:19 PM

Sorry im still getting the errors and log in issues to my main account.

**OrangeC_Legacy** · 02-01-2012, 09:46 PM

The code on the top is gone and posting is fixed now i can confirm. However my main account still won't log in.

**Sarah** · 02-02-2012, 02:52 PM

post a screenshot of the error and let me know which style you're using

**OrangeC_Legacy** · 02-02-2012, 03:11 PM

my prntscrn is not working atm so i can't provide the screenshot yet, however if i can explain it, it takes me a login attempt screen, counting from 1 to 5 with eatch attempt.

The theme im using is the light.

**Sarah** · 02-02-2012, 03:12 PM

the problem is we can't replicate the bug; i don't get it, jessie doesn't even get it when logging into your account which makes it really really hard to troubleshoot.

I'm sure the prtsc button on the On-Screen Keyboard works just fine.

**Sarah** · 02-03-2012, 05:00 PM

do you still get it if you switch themes?

**Sarah** · 02-03-2012, 05:13 PM

PM me your password if you don't mind (or change it to something then PM me), it'd help me troubleshoot

**veidt** · 02-04-2012, 11:43 AM

I also got error messages...

always there on the top of the page:
Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

trying to switch the theme:

----------------
now the error message is gone! yay!

**Mr. Fate** · 02-09-2012, 11:13 AM

Why are all my settings such a mess? I just joined today, and at the top of the screen I see this message:

Warning: fetch_template() calls should be replaced by the vB_Template class. Template name: advertisement_footer in [path]/includes/functions.php on line 4316

And whenever I go into any of my settings, everything is overlapping and I can't see what I'm trying to change.
