welcome and bug list

[RJDiogenes]

Off-topic or rather back to the thread's topic: which of you earned a huge hug for reinstalling the image resize? I was just going to do it but see it already does work.

I don't think it was me, unless I did something when I was messing around with the ABBC3 settings.

all bugs fixed except for that attachments >2 MB problem. It must be a wrong setting but not one of the obvious suspects. I'll go over the settings line by line the next days.
Right now I'll take a break - it's Föhn weather and I have a mean migraine which interferes with my concentration.

Aw, I hope you feel better. The 2MB problem is no problem at all. You've done a lot and we're happily ensconced in our new home, so go rest and feel better.

thank you
I had planned to check on the board on Monday, alas, my internet connection had broken again and only just now revived.

[RJDiogenes]

Are the new owners planning to look into that Internet issue?

[huggle]

the owners are the same. Only the house management company changed. They can't do anything about it: every tenant has a contract direct with their ISP/phone provider.
I've been offline 3 days now *grrrrrrrrr* but this time it wasn't Telecom's fault: there was an accident at a nearby crossing and a flying car hit the distribution box for the phone lines (the last relais before my house).
At my office, the stupid security settings block my domain, claiming it is a webmail site. I filed a request with the officials, asking for re-cathegorizing my domain as harmless and claiming that I needed it for work, using it as an external storage space for work I do at home and for mails and data I receive from colleagues abroad. The request was rated normal urgency level so that it might take a week or two till they "unban" me but I do hope they will listen to reasn and actually do it in the end.
If there is an emergency, please send me a text message on my cell and I'll use opne of the two public computers we have in the library. That one is open from Tuesday morning through Saturday noon. Not ideal but better than nothing.

Flying car? Was the guy's name George Jetson?

Cool, thank you. I'll put your number in the Emergency Contact Thread in the Moderator Forum, if it isn't already there.

we have a moderator forum??
Geez, I really must stop just reading the threads with new posts.

[RJDiogenes]

Indeed. You should be able to see it. Let me know if you can't.

Geez, I really must stop just reading the threads with new posts.

I'm guilty of that as well.

[huggle]

I only can see QSF and Mod actions

[RJDiogenes]

Okay, I think I fixed it. That Control Panel is going to drive me crazy.

[Jim Gamma]

Been more than ten years since I saw an ACP... so glad I'm not doing that any more, though it was an honour to tech-admin at Kellyz.

[huggle]

Now I know your weak spot! *does evil admin trademark cackle* next time you gang up with my sis against me I'll admin you

[RJDiogenes]

I want to hear more about this "ganging up" story.

[Jim Gamma]

So do I, as I don't recall it...

[RJDiogenes]

Has anybody else had any problems with pages loading slowly or incompletely?

[Lupine]

Not this site specifically. I've been having general slowness at times, but I thought it was my server.

[RJDiogenes]

Must be just me then. Last couple of days, I've had multiple instances of pages partially loading and stalling-- I have to cancel and reload to get the whole page.

[Lupine]

Ironically it's a bit slow for me today.

I think it's mess'n with us.

[RJDiogenes]

I blame the Russians.

[huggle]

I've had the same prob all week at my office and at first thought it was perhaps in connection with the freshly discovered Russian hack attempt into the governmental network. However, I've had the same prob on TrekBBS as well and that board's server is in GB. Possibly it's a global phenomenon. *checks on solar weather*
Ah! Found this:

coronal hole #72 is now beginning to face Earth. A high speed solar wind stream flowing from this zone is expected to reach Earth beginning February 25th and could lead to another round of minor (G1) geomagnetic storming at higher latitudes. Perhaps more aurora to look forward to at the beginning of next week.

Still, such minor solar storms ought not to influence the internet that much. Perhaps the windstorms we had all week in Europe added to the problem

[RJDiogenes]

ReNext has been okay the last couple of days for me, but Tumblr has been terrible. I have to reload the pages a couple of times to get all the graphics.

[RJDiogenes]

I found a weird bug: I am no longer able to add Smilies to the collection. I was able to as recently as a couple of months ago, but now I get an error that says "The submitted form was invalid." I've been trying intermittently for several days, so I don't think it's a temporary server hiccup.

I hope we can get this fixed.

What new Smilies were you trying to add? You have me curious.

[RJDiogenes]

This one:

I used it in a post one time and I thought it would be a good one to have available in the menu.
