I think we need some seperate threads to collate problems that peeps are having.

The Webteam can easily subscribe to these and users can either post in the threads or use the Private Message (PM) to let us know of anything fast.

I'll create a separate thread for general comments here:

http://www.ducatisportingclub.com/sh...d.php?p=307209

Issues we know of so far...

Occassional homepage / login problems - being monitored.
Auto-refresh of Today's Posts - Split decision so far; Poll maybe?
Avatars / Sig Blocks - some guidelines issued, need collating.
New Gallery - same - some guidelines issued, need collating.

Website General Performance:
Eamonn is monitoring the performance of the site generally and is able to make adjustments to prevent some errors from happening.
Late last night there was an outage that might well be beyond the control of the webteam (I waited until after 1am with bleary eyes for some sort of resolution but got Nada! - We owe Flanks a drink for being on the ball this morning).

Can this thread please be kept for specific issues that you feel need to be address, can anything else please be put in the General Comments thread.

Frank, its great

but, the 2 issues we found yesterday are stil cropping up:

Home Page - AK has no prob when going onto site at all, from home or work PC.
If I leave myself logged in on home pc (or my brothers as I did last night) when I click on the bookmark (which is the home page) it still says I am denied access etc, tho can then click onto forum & rove about as usual.

Same issue with the membership bit - on both PC's for me - but not AK.
The only worry I'd have with that, is others who have joined the board, but then decide to become members might find the same as me in that access is denied to that section.

One PC is running 2000 - and I run xp here. AK has XP & 98 at work (whenever he can 'blag a go' that is )

Just teething snags I'm sure - otherwise its fine (apart from being able to have my own choice of avatar that is but at least AK has his back

[Jools]

I'm sure these are just teething problems and probably bandwidth issues with the interwebbynet or the server rather than the site 'per se', but I've replied to a number of U2U's and other messages only to be met with a 'server cannot be found message'.

[Gizmo]

Just a small one - on the white theme the words "private messages" in the breadcrumb login box uses a white font on a white background so are invisible.

[swannymere]

It does'nt 'remember me' when i log in despite having tried every combination i know,also how do we post 'icons' in the actual post.Sorry if i'm being stoopid.

Thanks guys,

There must still be some membership / access issues - I've never seen these myself on my own account or on a non-paid up account I've made for testing purposes.

AK - I'll have a look at your account and see if anythings amiss or its a generic thing.


PM link at top - yes, when using the plain white style its almost invisible (but there is a red underline on my screen) however, your right - we need a workaround that will work in all styles.

Smilies - you need to type the code in when using using the basic editor that is the default

Got to teh FAQ - type smilies and a page on using them will appear OR here is a link to the page showing the keystrokes:

[twpd]

As reported previously, whenever I log in at the homepage using whatever pc at home or at work I get this:

"twpd, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"

I get the usual server cannot be found, server too busy etc as others are probably experiencing too.

[phil_h]

I've been trying to delete a load of my old pms, cos its much easier to see them now ... but there seem to be loads of duplicated messages, so its a very slow job ... AND I'm sure I've deleted some of them 3 times now

[lizzie]

Can someone explain how to change the time...I seem to have lost two hours somewhere!

[Iconic944ss]

Erm....Lizzie, step out of the Tardis please

Sorry - system time appears to be ok.

Phil_h, PM - please have a look at this thread:
