Bugs on this new site update (Dec 2006)

Post by Snake Man » 2006-12-08 07:18:04

This topic is to list any bugs, broken links and issues of the web site (all sections) and the phpbb forum conversion (f4 areas were ubb and ofp was yabb).

Known bugs!
  • - Posts count wont reflect real post numbers(?)
    - Converted topics in un-sorted order.
I already noticed few missing links in the F4 web site which I'll try to fix soon. Download areas should be okay now with the stuff converted to RAR packages (smaller size etc).

Its not working on the converted posts, but seems to work fine on anything posted in the phpbb itself. We'll try to find a solution for it.

Same goes for the topics being sorted what ever way.

I'm not sure I understand, your posts in profile are different than what the info attached to posts say or?

Ah I get it now. Well its unfortunate that there is some post counts missing, but unless there is some way to re-count them automatically I dont think we can track each users post counts down from the all posts by user feature. That would be simply too much work.

We'll keep an eye for any scripts/mods for this in the official phpbb forums.

Also I like to mention that I just fixed all the web pages where there was old ubb Falcon 4 links. Now the links are pointing to correct forum topics in this new forum.

And could you guys check that if anyone can view Members list from the main menu?

Oh and still one more thing, please check your profiles and update it accordingly, thanks :)

Hiya SM,
Had a thought....can't the MySQL database index be rebuilt using the old posts (from the Falcon 4 forums) so that the search function will work on those posts as well? I don't want to seem to be whining (and I appreciate all you have done before) but not being able to search on the old posts when trying to solve a problem is really time consuming because we have to go through the entire forum index of posts and look at each post to try and find something that will help solve our problem.

Again, I don't want you think I am whining about the search function not working on the old posts...I am just mentioning it so you know how it impacts us working on theaters.

thanks Snake Man! :)
