Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Known Issues with Boards Upgrade

Hi Labrat,

Just to let you know, I noticed that more than half of Mr. Data's Timeline for the Terran Underground series (in the Original Fic TOC) has vanished. What can be done, if anything?

Nan

I never read that series, Nan, so it's difficult for me to identify what data is missing. Mail me a specific list of missing links and I'll see what I can do.

It may take some time to fix - we're working our way through a long list.

Fixed

I've been having issues with the system keeping me logged in. I log in, click on a thread I want to post a comment on and it turns out I've been logged out. I log in again, it takes me back to the main page as logged in and when I click for a thread again, I'm logged out. Sometimes I can't post anything, because of it. My few comments were posted during these short periods, when the system keeps me logged in.

I haven't changed my computer setting since the upgrade, so could some of you guys check if there is a problem with my board settings? Pretty please.

I don't have this problem on my tablet, it keeps me logged in all the time, but I prefer posting from my laptop.

Thank you all the admins for your hard work with fixing the problems.

Raise a ticket for it, Kate. It's an issue that's been fixed for others, I think, but I'm not part of the tech team. The ticketing link is at the top of the forum.

I think Annie and Morgana said it was Internet Explorer problem. Have you tried a different browser?

I noticed how AnneB and Morgana resolved their logging in problems, but I've been using IE for years and never had any problems with it. I would prefer to stick to it if possible.

I'll raise a ticked for it Labby. I didn't want to double, because other Folcs had already ticketed it.
Thanks

Me, too. I used IE loyally for years, but then they did something weird to it when they did the last upgrade to V8 or V9 and I repeatedly had problems not being able to load the boards (and that was BEFORE we upgraded to these new boards). I've also had problems logging into other websites. The problem you mentioned having with these boards, about it logging you out when you moved to another screen, I used to have when I logged into my credit card website while using IE. Nor could I access the website I needed to register for our new healthcare plan. When I switched to FireFox, those problems disappeared (for the most part). Plus, I love that it has a spellcheck feature. LOL.

It's the first time I have ever had with IE. But your experience is interesting, I may consider Firefox.

When you log in, there is a box to check that says "remember me" Be sure to check that box. That was the problem I had. On "Off Topic" is a thread that I responded to about always getting logged out and that was the answer.
With regards to IE, we've been using Firefox for years and have had no problems at all.

I still have this problem. My viewed links don't change color. I don't log out from the boards and my browser doesn't clear cookies automatically. But the viewed topics never change color. What should I do?

Andreia

Andreia,

I am not seeing the problem you describe. The links I view have a non-clicked color of a sort of burnt orange and the clicked links have a pale steel blue color which is very distinctive. Do you have any custom CSS installed? I forgot who suggested this very early in the process right after the upgrade. I found the links I look at have a very distinct color change between unused and used and this is much different than it was right after the upgrade.

Mike

Sorry to say but I just worked on another TOC for Nan in Original Fiction and the link issue is just as Andreia related and I remember from just after the upgrade. Wendy could this be a forum specific issue? Last night I created a bunch of links for Nan's Home series and got the orange/blue combination. I modified a TOC of hers in Original Fiction TOC and get the original color pallet...

Now I can get around this by bolding the URL then the bolding is removed once you click the link but that is a major hassle and takes a lot of time.

Thanks

Mike

All my links are orange since the upgrade, viewed or not. And it's the same in both computers I use (at work and at home). But I just tried it on IE and the links changed color (I've always used Firefox). So it has something to do with the browser, but I don't know what. I don't have any add-ons that could be related to it.

I have IE. The orange and blue colors are so pale, it is difficult to tell them apart.

I'm really not an expert at all here, and also I don't visit the boards at all these days except to check up on issues related to the fundraiser and upgrade. My links appear to be behaving as intended, but I haven't actually looked at any TOCs.

Have you submitted a ticket?

Wendy

I submitted a ticket, because I tried it on Chrome and it doesn't change color, either. As far as I can tell, it's just working on IE.

I tried it with Chrome (34.0.1847.137 m) (does not consistently work), IE (11) works in all forums, and Firefox (28) works in all forums. So it seems that it is a Chrome issue.

The odd issue is that with Chrome it is a hit and miss type thing some links have the Orange/blue color combination and some the blue/blue.

Mike

For what it's worth, I am also using Chrome version 34.0.1847.137 m and I have not experienced this problem.

Joy,
Lynn

I mostly use Firefox on my pc and Dolphin on my Nexus but I do have Chrome installed on both and I'm not seeing this issue either when I use it.
