[delurk] Do I need to change a "setting"? That button merely takes me to the first post in the thread. [/delurk]

That's because directly after the move of the forum literally every post is marked as unread. Just mark every subforum as read and from then on the button should work as intended for all new posts.

TeraS · « **Reply #42 on:** February 14, 2013, 05:34:53 PM »

You can mark all forums as read by clicking the button at the bottom of the front page of the forum...

TeraS · « **Reply #45 on:** February 19, 2013, 01:58:19 AM »

Did you register separately for the Gallery?

On the Collective you need to register TWICE...

I've almost forgot about another one important thing.

All old forum links are dead. That's bad. Well, that's horrible. At least for me. Dead bookmarks, dead links in topics and so on.

What can you do? You can configure redirects from old forum location to the new one. It's relatively easy to do because boards and topics on the new form have same IDs as on the old one. So you can use something like Apache's mod_rewrite to extract topic's ID, assemble URL to the new topic's location and redirect the user to that location.

If you wish I can write an example of code for your .htaccess file. However you should confirm that you have enabled mod_rewrite first.

TeraS · « **Reply #47 on:** March 05, 2013, 09:42:42 PM »

Well, that's in work actually, but it won't be activated until we turn off the old forum. At the moment we are redirecting from the old index page to this one, but we need to get some info off the old site then we'll deal with the mod-writes next.

If you'd like to send me, by PM a rule, I'll have a look at it nonetheless.

What kind of links are dead? If they're links to posts and topics, I'm not sure those will work even if I use the right rule.

If you have static IP address you can and a condition to the rewrite rule so everybody EXCEPT you will be redirected to the new forum.

http://www.hypnopics-collective.net/smf_forum/index.php?topic=17535.0 — the topic is full of dead links to other topics

compuscribe · « **Reply #50 on:** March 09, 2013, 10:11:49 PM »

This isn't really an issue so much as a minor nuisance, but is it at all possible to change the number of topics that display on a page? In the games sub-forum, for example, the stickies take up, quite literally, half of the first page. If you could double the number of topics per page, that'd be wonderful! If not, I can learn to live with it, but I thought I'd at least throw it out there for consideration.

Captain · « **Reply #51 on:** March 09, 2013, 10:21:40 PM »

To be fair we could probably omit half the stickies in the games forum. Merge the game links threads, get rid of the "please post in the game links" and "be nice to the authors" threads, etc.

TeraS · « **Reply #52 on:** March 09, 2013, 11:06:26 PM »

And so done.

dzeiger · « **Reply #53 on:** March 10, 2013, 07:23:51 AM »

There is an option in the Look and Layout section of Modify Profile to adjust how many topics you display per page. I changed mine a little higher early on when the stickies plus all the posts with "new" posts pushed all the way to the second page with the default topic numbers.

TeraS · « **Reply #54 on:** March 10, 2013, 10:00:07 AM »

Default is 25 topics per page unless you change that in your options...

Am I missing something, because I don't seem to have a "Look & Layout" section of Modify Profile. I checked several times before posting

[edit] Oh! I didn't realize there was a drop down menu under "Modify Profile." That could be a bit more obvious!

Thanks for the help!

TeraS · « **Reply #56 on:** March 10, 2013, 10:17:36 PM »

It is a little hard to find, it was easier in version 1 that the MC Forum and the Garden use, but we can't use it for the new Gallery when it rolls out here...

Thank you for doing this (and Captain for suggesting it), it looks much better now !

mdqp · « **Reply #58 on:** March 24, 2013, 04:03:12 AM »

I have a weird issue with an old poll appearing in my thread (I had closed it and removed it a long time ago, in the old forum). What's more, it refuses to let me remove it, so I am currently stuck with it.

Edit: fixed by a mod, so this isn't a problem anymore.

SotF · « **Reply #59 on:** May 31, 2013, 02:59:55 AM »

Just noticed that it's impossible to view the gallery due to registration issues. Keep getting a message to contact the Admin when I try to register but that's it. Everything else seems to work

TeraS · « **Reply #60 on:** May 31, 2013, 06:45:56 AM »

Have you registered separately for the Gallery? You need to do so otherwise you cannot access it...

If you have, please contact me via PM to work this problem out...

SotF · « **Reply #61 on:** May 31, 2013, 08:32:02 AM »

Actually that was with that registration, tried it on a couple different computers and browsers

TeraS · « **Reply #62 on:** May 31, 2013, 09:18:09 PM »

Please PM me a User ID, password and email address as I cannot find you anywhere in the Gallery so I'll have to add you myself to it...

I have been registered for over a week now and worked fine but last 3 days will not let me log in . was beginning to wonder if it was my computer or the server . oh this is the log in for the gallery

bunsen44 · « **Reply #64 on:** July 06, 2013, 12:42:16 AM »

oh failed to mention I reregistered like 2 days ago. thinking it was my system or something please let me know .

It seems like the search function only returns the first thirty results at most (that is, if I search for a common term and set it to oldest first I get one page of results from nigh on a decade ago, and no way to go to any additional pages).
It could be that I'm missing something, of course...
To clarify, this is the search function on the FORUM. The gallery is fine.

TeraS · « **Reply #67 on:** July 08, 2013, 11:49:17 PM »

Checking...

Tera

TeraS · « **Reply #68 on:** July 08, 2013, 11:53:44 PM »

I'm running an re-indexing of the Forum and altering the settings on the search so that it brings up all of the finds rather than only 30...

The indexing may take a little time, but the other changes have been made...

Tera
Admin

TeraS · « **Reply #69 on:** July 10, 2013, 09:48:56 PM »

Okay, the search function of the forum should be vastly improved now after I poked it and changed a few things...

Please let me know if there are issues?

aks1371 · « **Reply #70 on:** July 12, 2013, 05:04:51 PM »

Hi,
Just now noted an issue that may need to be corrected quickly. The new (and maybe old also) search allows one to search the entire forum even without logging in. IMHO, a guest should be able to search only the announcements. Not only does search return the links from all threads, it allows the guest to access the content from the results.

AKS

TeraS · « **Reply #71 on:** July 12, 2013, 09:45:38 PM »

<has the monkey flip a switch>

Okay, that will end that problem, but it also kills the search for all guests...

That's the only choice there is...

Also removed the list of last postings that had been on the main page as it also was a problem...

Thank you for letting me know!

Tera
Admin

saphroneth · « **Reply #72 on:** July 13, 2013, 04:24:24 PM »

Well, it does look like the search function is a lot better now.

Getting all programmer-ey for a bit, would it be possible to have a search crawler bot which did NOT have member status and have that index things for a guest search?

aks1371 · « **Reply #73 on:** July 14, 2013, 06:59:04 AM »

Hi,
Just wanted to point out that the Forum Stats in the main page also contains the link to the latest post, as well as a link to more recent posts...

AKS

TeraS · « **Reply #74 on:** July 14, 2013, 04:06:40 PM »

Thank you both, I've removed the stats for now and when I can I will fix that issue as well.

Not sure if it's just me or what, but the "Add to Favorites" links are coming up with an error. Copy-pasted below:

Moved Temporarily

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@hypnopics-collective.net and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

aks1371 · « **Reply #76 on:** November 25, 2013, 05:18:12 PM »

Hi,

I get the same error as Chad22, but the image does get added to favourite, so I did not mention it earlier... I use Firefox and Windows 7 if that is of any relevance.

TeraS · « **Reply #77 on:** November 25, 2013, 05:35:41 PM »

This is a problem that happens sometimes when someone's favorites list gets huge and the server has a problem sending the cookie to update things. We've been trying to fix the issue for some time now, but with little success as yet.

Tera

Chad22 · « **Reply #78 on:** November 28, 2013, 01:27:23 AM »

Ah, thank you. And yes, my favorites list has gotten quite large. It's more of a bookmarks thing for me. Probably a good point for me to review it, maybe trim it down.

Thanks for your help. You folks run a fantastic website. Thank you so much.

justbob · « **Reply #79 on:** December 24, 2013, 12:05:51 AM »

I don't know if this is a problem or just an oversight on my part, but I cannot seem to find the button to upload a new image. (I last posted a picture on Nov 28th without any trouble.)
If the button exists, and it's my error, can you please tell me where it is now?

I thought maybe new uploads were put on hold because of the issues currently facing the collective?
