Working on Errors...

A word from our sponsor:

We currently have 3 bug reports in the wild.

  1. A user has reported (and it's been conditionally confirmed) that they can't send a PM by clicking the "send message" link on posts or profiles (not all users only some users)
  2. A user has reported (and it's been conditionally confirmed) that when they send or view PM's they get logged out, but going to another page logs them back in
  3. A user has reported, that they can't see any of the images on blogs or stories (using older Android Samsung Tablet)

I'm working on these errors trying to figure them out, but at the same time I'm wondering how wide spread. If anyone else is seeing these errors or any others please let me know..

Sending PM's

Every time I send one (I've been PM'ing Erin today) I get sent to a page that says 'You are not auth'd to view this'. So I login again which happens instantaneously so I don't think that I'm really logged out. The PM is sent successfully.
This is repeatable. If you need any more help please let me know.

Not just PM's

I have had the 'You are not authorized' message, but it occurs randomly for me. Usually just selecting another page from the top menu seems to prove that I'm still logged in. Of course, I might not be, I may be seeing a cached version of me still being logged in!

I have attempted to report this, but of course if it affects PMs then they aren't getting through.

It sounds like a race condition to me, possibly cache related.

Problems

I can log out and still see a message that says Visitor, logged in, not verified. For a while I couldn't log in from any page, across three browsers from my PC (Lappy) but that has been straightened out. Thanks to whoever did the heavy lifting on that!

it's fine here

For the past several days, your site has been working flawlessly. I'm impressed. Everything seems to load for me. I'm using an Apple computer, Comcast is my provider, and I use Safari.

Whether that helps or not for your information banks, I think it's working better and loading faster. Thank you, Piper.

You've done great work.

Now if I can only stop my VCR light from flashing and get ABBA to play better on my eight-track.

Thank You!

Thank You for the kind words, a whole lot of work has gone into the upgrade and we've been working hard at it and other things.

Too Sick

Sorry, I definately planned to tackle this today, but I'm too sick to figure out where to even start. When I figure that our, or I get un-sick, I will let you all know.

Android Problem?

The person with the Android problems, do you know what version of Android and (I presume) Firefox? I have access to some older Samsung Android tablets with different versions software, I could try and duplicate the problem. Maybe I could give you some additional information to work with. Or maybe not. ;-)

Galaxy Tab ll

Checked w/ my Tab ll 10.1 and things are working fine, I'm using it to post this. All the images look fine for me. I'm running Android 4.2.2 and using Firefox 55.0.2. If you are using older versions of software consider updating them. Also check your Flash and Java software. You may need to update them or turn them on. The last two are a PITA as the current versions won't work on the older machines and uploading the older versions that do work can be a pain.

One other thing I thought of. Your antivirus and/or ad/popup blocking programs may be blocking the illustrations from downloading. Check the settings on those also.

When I have a chance later I'll get out my old Galaxy Tab 1 10.1 and try it.

Galaxy Tab 1 10.1

Tried it out on this O-L-D Tab 1, and it also worked alright. Android 3.1 and FF 45.0.2

Same as Cyclist, refresh My Stories or click on a link to that page and I was logged out. That behaviour hasn't happened today so all is well again.
