I don't know if you can duplicate this or not, but using my AOL 9.0, I am unable to insert url or image links using the icons.

While the dialogue boxes appear, and I can put the text in the dialogue boxes, it simply does not come through to the screen. Before the recent change to the new server and software, I had no problem.


I have to do it manually, typing in the protocol.

However, I have no problem if I sign into BFN using IE 6.0.

Hi - I'm having trouble using the search function as of yesterday. Basically, type in search term, hit enter and....nothing. Blank page with no results.

Am using the latest version of Firefox. Will fiddle with it to make sure none of the extensions are causing a conflict.

Is it just me or is anyone else having this issue?

EDIT: Solved
IT seems that No-Script had recently updated and I need to allow fastclick.com in the exceptions list. Just FYI for anyone else that has this issue

I too am having problems with the search function, it's been maybe 4-5 days. It no longer saves my search preferences.

I like to do a regular search for my name, for "Items posted within the past" 2 weeks, with the results sorted by "Post Date."

However, a few days ago these were reset to default to "*Forever" and "Relevance" respectively.

I've tried repeatedly to re-set these, then clicked on "Save Search Preferences" and "Go"

A dialogue box comes up that says "Search preferences saved" but they aren't.

I wanted to search for all the threads I started. No matter which link I hit (find all posts by vs find all threads by) it brought up just the posts.

I get timed out (logged out against my will) in just a couple minutes when I use foxfire. I've learned to copy my posts before I submit them, but it's a PITA to have to log in every few minutes. This doesn't happen in IE.

Hmm - don't have that problem and have always used FF. Check your settings; maybe something got switched?

the search function really sucks- my recent posts are not found at all any more (for the past few days)-I made a post last night in the Clyde forum and this post is not found using the search on my user name. Even when the search function was working I didn´t like it as much as the old one- much more cumbersome and more clicking around needed- could you not introduce a feature on the search page where one click takes you to the threads with your recent posts in? it is getting really difficult to keep track of my threads now.

The search function and the save preferences function need work. Actually, they need to work if they are to be used. Actually, they don't really need to work if the idea is that no one should use them. Is the old forum around somewhere? It worked.

When I click on a link to another thread on BF it takes forever for the page to load, even though I have a fast DSL connection. It loads the page as though I'm not logged in. Don't know why that should slow things down?

When viewing multi-page topics, the page guide at the bottom is wonky. If I click "last page," I'm taken to the page before last. When I click on the numbered link that's supposedly the last page, it's the same as the second-to-last.

I can't imagine how rendering would contribute, but for what it's worth, I'm on Firefox 2.0.0.12, 64-bit, Linux.

P&R is stuck at 11:05 am, which is a couple hours ago. Thats the latest post that shows up. But I know its still avtive. I'm getting emails of more recent posts.
.
I open up threads, and I get the same thing. None of the recent posts are there. What can I do to get back to the present?
.
EDIT: other forums like FOO seem to work fine... and I've deleted all offline content... which didnt help.

Hi - I was trying to post in Recreation and Family. I just tried to post again and it worked this time. It didn't take my first two trys earlier this morning. But my post is showing now so never mind. Thanks!

I upgraded my account through PayPal yesterday morning. It doesn't appear that my account has been updated yet. How long should I expect to wait?

Cheers!

Not very.

lol. right. thanks brian.

I have to be extra nice to Utahns. And you're the 2nd local tandem owner I'm aware of on the forums.

I would like it if the search function were never fixed properly. The reason I say this is because there seems to be a class of users here who's sole function is to post snotty "use the search function!" type posts at n00b$, and that's just not right. A less than adequate search function, (which Bikeforums has always been plagued with,) would at least give the dear, tender younglings an excuse for why they did not find the two Wilford Brimley threads from 2003 that were already posted.

I'll look again, but I'm getting email updates for thread that haven't been posted to in a while and would have been in a weekly update otherwise. Now, I thought perhaps it was resetting IE but I had many more that would've done that and besides that....

I hadn't even opened BF prior or at the time I got the email (At least I think so...would just opening the site reset cookies or would they be long gone and done for)?

The common thread to the uncommon threads seems to be 04-10-08, which is what the posting date common to all seems to be.

Should I refrain to wait for the eerie laughing of the late Vincent Price? WAIT! I have no speakers on this doohickey today!

Seriously...I've cleared my cache daily since the Clinton :eek: administration... ;)

oddly enough, i just got about 15 emails about threads from 4-10 or 4-11-08. i'd already gotten my weekly annoying emails as well. i guess something got lost and found again.

Now I *KNOW* something is silly...

The last email was for "database error * many" update :roflmao:

Maybe the server's union went on strike so we all got :rolleyes: RERUNS...

Well anyway, it's Sunday, need a sundae. Thanks.

Internet Brands is experiencing a system-wide outgoing email bottleneck. Our tech team is working hard to address the problem. But in the meantime, subscribed thread emails and activation emails will be slow and inconsistent. As an immediate fix for user activation, please contact IBcommunity1@internetbrands.com for manual activation.

Thank you for your patience and for your diligence in reporting issues. This has been very useful to our tech team to help locate the problem!

I've noticed that the titles of threads I've read are not being un-bolded. That usually is the precursor to the server choking.

Even after you manually refresh the page?

Yes, and the "New" tags next to your, and my last post in this thread are still there.

And sometimes is is clearing the boldings and new tags. In the Framebuilder's forum the "Bamboo!!" thread is not clearing, the "Adding Rack Eyelets" is.

I'm not able to post in the Politics forum, but I can still post in at least some of the other forums. Has there been some change I don't know about?

Didn't know where to put this but I'm sure it will get moved.
Upgraded my membership last Friday.
How long should it take for me to get my little star and have access to the classifieds?

Ssssslllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww posting today - usually predicts a crash of sorts.

I'm getting a problem with IE7 tabbed browsing and one of the advertisments on the side.
4/5 times when this ad is in another tab and I switch to that tab it crashes IE7.
It's always this ad that's on/off screen when IE7 crashes.

That count down to 0 is like adobe's way of saying "you have X seconds before we're going to crash your IE7"

obvious solutions would be A: membership or B: use firefox with flashblocker.
but I thought I might point out a broken ad. froze IE around 15 times on me today with this single ad.

Search has been down for me since last night.

I have been trying to find a post to answer a poster's question and I did a search by poster (ME) and all that comes up for ANYTHING I clicked is Tempest--the grey bike grows up, obviously by me also. Is my computer as memory-challenged as me? :50::50::50:

Brian, Do I really want to click on this link in the right side bar?

I'm not sure I want to meet somebody into BDSM.

Google really has problems. That was on the front page first item (before the Spadout girl even)...

Edit: well, gee, those were the most evil looking heeled boots I've ever seen...:twitchy::innocent:

They did that in their Groups often too. Oh well.

I turned off tabbed browsing altogether. Scrolling down the page with the scroll wheel would just open files every time I hit the wheel. I wish I could disable some of the shortcut strokes too.

Why can't I post??? I'm a newbie. I have tried four times to post in Classic & Vintage.

I'm not a moderator or admin, just another user, but parts of the site have been down for a few hours.
