Forum Upgrades
 

I just upgraded the forums from phpBB 2.0.1 to 2.0.3. This should hopefully fix most of the problems that AOL users were having. Let me know if you come across any errors.

Today, I upgraded the forums from phpBB 2.0.3 to 2.0.4. This fixes several bugs and increases stability and security. Let me know if you come across any errors.

I have been getting lot's of DNS errors Today. Could this be because of the Forum upgrade?

Actually, I think it's because our server has been acting up lately (which is also the reason why the random image and quotes on the main page don't show up every once in a while). Hopefully, our host will fix the problems soon.

Oh... Would the "Debug mode" things be the servers fault too?

When and where did you see that?

2 times actually. First I tried to reach New TMNT forume, then sometime later in General TMNT. It said something like "Debug mode" and some parameters and such and I couldn't access the forum. I were smarter I would have taken a screen shot..

Ok, I got that error too. It looks like yet another problem with our server...

CURSE YOU AOL!!! :x

Is it just an AOL members problem and is that the reason I couldn't post for the last few days?

Yep, the posting problem you were having had to do with AOL. But I edited a setting on the board so that the problem hopefully won't come back.

Ever get the felling you ISP is trying to tell you something? :lol:

Okay, I'm getting problems with the forums, too. Every time I log on, the forum acts like I haven't logged on at all. So, I log on a second time, which finally allows me to post. However, once I log on twice, all of the folder icons are marked yellow, or "read." It's driving me crazy because I can't tell which threads have new posts since I last visited. :dead: Is this happening to anyone else?

No, I don't have any problems at all right now. After week end the server problems seemed to stop. After that everyting has worked perfectly for me.

Now let's see that's one order of non double loggings, with a side of red folders ..... and for you karpo *Looks at him over the top of the board* I'll put you down for what ever troubles going, K? :lol:

Heh... Well as I said, No problems after the week end...

Hmm don't think you're getting away withou giving me a tip!!

*Thrusts out her empty palm*

Or I will set AOL on you! Doody doody doody doo

LOL! I just hope Krang knows what's going on, because I certainly don't. :razz:

Probably some a bug or soimething.... I have seen Rat king replying as a guest many times... Sounds like the same problem you are having Azure.

Make sure you're visiting the forums using this exact URL: http://www.thetechnodrome.com/forums/
That problem might have something to do with people who are accessing the forums through http://thetechnodrome.com/forums/, http://www.technodrome.com/forums/, or http://technodrome.com/forums/. Let me know if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the tips, Krang! Haven't had any problems since. :D

Oh waitasec... I spoke too soon. It just happened again, even after using your suggestions, Krang. :(

Hmm, after you try logging in and it doesn't work, have you tried hitting back on your browser and reloading the page?

It happened again, and I tried refreshing my screen. Still didn't work. I had to log in twice. :dead: I dunno what's wrong...

Try deleting your browser's cookies and making sure that it is allowing cookies from thetechnodrome.com.

Okay... Seems like no problems right now. I'll let you know if it happens again.

The forums have been upgraded from phpBB 2.0.4 to phpBB 2.0.5, which has more bug fixes and better stability. Please let me know if you come across any errors that were not in the last version.

Cool, it actually seems to be running faster now.. unless that's just my imagination. But I am pretty sure the forums are running faster

It should be even faster now, since I added a template caching feature to reduce server load (so we don't get suspended again) and speed up page loading times. If anyone notices problems such as blank pages, let me know.

wow, it's much faster ^^

well, i couldn't enter the site yesterday... every link i tried brought me a 404... :ohwell:

but now everything is ok :) though, i can't notice if it's faster

Yeah I had the same problem.. Except I do notice that the Forums are faster. Even on this stupid 33.6K modem

Thats true!! it is faster!!! Cool! 8)

I had that problem yesterday, it said something about a server down I think

I think it said "Page temporarely suspended"

Yeah, the page was suspended because we were using up too much resources on the server. I'm not sure what caused this, but I added the template caching feature so that it is less likely to happen again.

Woah... The forums are definitely loading faster for me. I'm on a 56k modem for the summer, so I'm very thankful for the upgrade. :D

BTW Krang, I still get that strange error I reported in this thread. I log on, but then all the folders are marked "read," my name appears on the bottom, but the forum says I'm not logged in. I have to log in twice. Dunno if this happens because I don't log on as often as I used to, or if it's some sort of bug.

Heh, nah, youre just weird... :P :D

We weird people have to stick together!!!! *bashes a random robot with a kendo stick*

...

Hey, is it just me or has the "you can't make a post so soon after the last one you just made" time period gotten longer?

Hey! Kendo stick! That's my gimmick!!!! :x

I think it might be a problem with your ISP switching your IP address too often, since the board uses your IP address as part of the validation process. Did you get this problem when using another ISP?Yep, sorry, I increased the time to 30 seconds to cut down on posts that consist of only an emoticon or a single word, since those have been increasing lately.

lol that's funny me and another forum member were talking about that the other day.
