Error message.

Still unfixed as of today. I would assume that it is permanent.

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Tue Dec 24, 2019 4:51 pm

I would hope not.

I posted a response to a thread from my phone last night and did not receive the error message - surprising as I had done when sending a PM or posting responses previously. Unfortunately it persists on the computer.

Multiple errors exist in both the forum and fleet lists. At this point we are unsure how to correct them easily due to server configurations. They will be looked at when the time permits of people who have the technical know-how to resolve these issues.

I have this message too. It seems for me it only applies when sending PMs

Just had the exact same message when making a post right now so doesn't seem to be restricted to PMs.

Edit: even when posting right here it happened again - but not when editing the post.

There also seems to a problem with many recent new members shown as never active yet they have posted one or more messages which should not be possible.

Some amount of time-related stats seem to be set to Thursday, Nov 14, 2019 (eg my 'Last Visited' is currently set to 6:31 am that day.)

Just a random thought here. Would it be practical to switch to different forum hosting software?

From my observations, Xenforo seems more innovative than phpBB. No offence, but it seems to be more dynamic and user friendly.

Any update as to the investigation/resolution of this issue?

Bus Suggestions · Post by **Bus Suggestions** » Sun Apr 19, 2020 12:34 pm

Seems as if this error now only occurs on quick reply - the full post editor and the edit function don't display this message anymore.

Other forums I've been on that have "upgraded" their board software have created user unfriendly, bloated cesspools that seem to needing a bleeding-edge computer just to be usable. No thanks.

No problem editing posts, but still get it otherwise. It's more hit and miss whether it actually does it nowadays.

Not a problem, only when im sending PMs to people that are not me.

I get the error every time I post, although the posts do actually save.

Private Messages won't send at all.

Xenforo basically just kills the forum community. SkyscraperCity, since 'upgrading' to Xenforo, doesn't require a bleeding-edge computer, since I can run it just fine on a low-edge notebook with 3.8GB of RAM. However, it creates a completely user-unfriendly experience, with sidebar ads, ads disguising themselves as posts and drop-down sub-menus for forums rather than the old VBulletin layout which was similar to the ATDB index page experience. Quite the number of members dislike the new 'experience,' and I wouldn't like to see it happen here.

Regarding the error, I've found it always happens when quick replying, never happens when editing and is hit-and-miss with new posts through the full editor. Usually happens when quoting posts (such as now). Haven't tried PMs yet.

I came across this a few times in the past couple of days. Did anyone get thos message????

There is another thread on that subject. It is hoped to have both resolved in the near future when it is planned to move to another server.

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Mon May 18, 2020 4:08 pm

There are currently plans to do some upgrades this coming weekend to a later version of the board which may initially not contain all the fixes but it hoped to to get the fixes in shortly afterwards.

I have just had a quick look at the new version under test and noted a few things which will take a little while to get used to for instance the Unread Posts and New Posts link no longer appear on just the home page but will in the new version appear in a new "Quick Links" button which will appear on all pages so that it will no longer be necessary to return to the home page before selecting unread, new and other posts including "Your Posts".

I hope it all falls into place over the next weekend.

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Mon May 18, 2020 4:14 pm

Correction - while the quick links appears at the top of all pages, some options like unread posts do NOT appear on all pages.

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Sat May 23, 2020 8:28 am

It appears that things are ready to go sometime today. So some outage may be expected.

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Sat May 23, 2020 6:42 pm

We seem to have got there. Let's hope it all works.

JRBUS123 · Post by **JRBUS123** » Sat May 23, 2020 8:46 pm

Looks like the error has been fixed up

. I’m no longer getting the error message. Thanks guys

Also, nice upgrade. One key thing I’ve noticed is that the “thanks” button has been removed

Post by **Fleet Lists** » Sat May 23, 2020 9:05 pm

That is one of a number of things which I hope are still being looked at.
Another is stopping spammers - some months ago some changes were made which stopped them and we were only getting 1 or 2 a week - But since this version has come up we have already about 10 of them so that makes it harder on the admins.
