New Website Forum – Discussion Topic

[Stephen GarradParticipant @stephengarrad28964]

I don’t understand the problems that some people seem to be having.

I’m not a regular poster, the last thing I posted was a picture of the rudder on my puffer a few weeks ago. I seem to be logged in every time as I would be able to reply to any post if I wanted to. I visit the site every day via MS Edge with a shortcut to “Latest posts” to keep up to date and have seen that some seem to be struggling. I’m not tech savvy & haven’t a clue what what clearing cookies & caches means or entails. It would be a very great shame if Morton’s did pull the plug.

When you sign in you have the option of remaining signed in.  I only signed in the once when the new forum went live and I haven’t had to again since.

You don’t have to sign in every time you visit so that might make life a bit easier for some.

Hi

For me it looks as if the  site is playing up,

I have just tried to make a post on “Yes another Clyde Puffer,” and it says that I must log in, but the log in page says that I am logged in. the fact that I am posting now must mean that I am logged in.

When I looked at the post, it shows the last post was 24 Min’s ago and the post shown is from six days ago, were in fact there have been post in the last few day’s.

Will we every be free from these bug’s

Hi All,

The updates and latest posts don’t show on my tablet or phone, but the Laptop is fine 🙂

I’m just back from a weeks solo holiday in Lanzarote which was great as a re-boot for me and the old enthusiasm is back with a vengance 🙂 watch this space, I do have a biplane to finish then a new boat design in the back of my mind.

Regards to All

Ray

Fred, Had exactly the same problem some 3 days ago.  Found I was logged out although the ‘stay logged in ‘ has always been ticked.  Went through all the BS to log in and finally achieved it on the third attempt.  The site said you are now logged in as Len Morris 2 but when I went to the Forums they were old and the site said I had to Log in to submit a post.  Just shut the whole job down in frustration and walked away for a day.  Tried again a day later and there I was logged in and everything worked again.  The bugs need sorting or many people will just walk away permanently.

I have reported it to Mortons IT. The same problem is showing up on the ME site again.

Welcome back Ray, glad you enjoyed your break.

Colin

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Mortons have so far been unable to replicate the problem, see below. As mentioned, there is now a green ‘Report Bug’ button which can be used to alert them to problems.

Hi Colin/Jason,

Thanks for letting us know.

Currently we are unable to replicate the login issue, both myself and Darren have tested on multiple browsers and the devices we have available to us.

Our hosts are also saying they can’t replicate this and have asked for screen recordings along with device information to show when this happens, they can then attempt to replicate and debug.

Our hosts did offer fixes, that appeared to work, but there may be another underlying issue that we haven’t identified.

If anyone has an issue where they are unable to login, please encourage them to file a report so we can help our hosts to replicate, identify and fix issue.

Please encourage them to make a bug report for anything else that isn’t working for them that should be.

I have added the ‘Report Bug’ button to Model Boats now also.

I’m aware of a pagination issue when people try to view all of their replies on their profile, I’ve made a note to follow up on this ASAP.

Many Thanks,

Andy – Webmaster

[Chris EParticipant @chrise]

I have tried to do a screen recording but today it is all working.

[Chris EParticipant @chrise]

If this works the answer is simple.

When you log onto the site it asks if you want to save cookies and my default answer is no.

If instead I answer yes save all cookies it suddeny works & I can post.

 

[Chris EParticipant @chrise]

Fingers crossed but after more tha a week of the forum being totally locked I now appear to have a fully functioning forum. This is a test to pove it (or not?).

[Chris FellowsParticipant @chrisfellows72943]

I’m logged in and can reply to some posts I’ve looked at but not Tim Rowes Wild Duck Meets Eventide which tells me I need to log in to reply to the post!

This is on my Android tablet and I can’t do screenshots etc. to submit a Bug Report. I’ll have a look using my PC at some point.

As per Fred’s post earlier I must be logged in to post this. Still issues then?

Chris

 

[Ray Wood 3Participant @raywood3]

Hello Chris,

I have the same issue’s with both my phone & tablet being a long way behind with posts, being android devices there must be a problem, the only way I can keep up with the current post’s is on my laptop 🙂 which is steam powered !!

As Colin has ceased being moderator for MB’s, there maybe nobody listening 🙁

How’s life with you ? must be motorbike season soon 🙂

Any progress with the Fairey’s ?

Regards Ray

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Yes I have stepped down but somehow still seem to be doing the job! I have drawn the attention of the webmaster to your posts.

Colin

[Chris FellowsParticipant @chrisfellows72943]

Hi Colin – didn’t know you had stepped down. Thanks for your time and effort over many years doing that and other things.

Hi Ray – I think it was before Christmas when I last did anything with my models! Went to NZ for 4 weeks in February/March sampling some full-size boats. And as well as having to sort out some other things one of my sons has bought a flat and I’m spending most of my time decorating and working on it so it will be sometime before I’m back on the Faireys. Haven’t taxed my bikes yet but will do from 1st May.

Went for a ride around the fens yesterday with some members of the local Moto Guzzi club.  Cold but dry.  Now looking forward to this year’s Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride in aid of prostate cancer research and men’s mental health.  Close to my heart as I suffer from one, so far!

The weather does at last seem to be improving!  At least the lakes in the surrounding fields have finally gone.

[Fred Ellis 1Participant @fredellis1]

Hi

First thank you to Colin and the other mod’s for all the work that they have put into trying to have a fully working forum.

Last night I was locked out of the forum and was asked to log in, yet the main page of the forum said I was logged in, after so many attempts I sent a bug report, now these morning I seem to be logged in. this is not the first time this has happened,

For me it looks as if Mortons could not organise anything it was back in October that this discussion started and we are still having the same problems, as Peter Cook and Dudley Moor said Good by, Good By,

See you on Mayhem

Fred

[James Hill 5Participant @jameshill5]

I’d like to echo what others have said and thankyou Colin for all your work and help.

You’ve sorted things for me since I joined the forum and it’s much appreciated.

Jim.

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Thanks everyone.  I’m still sort of doing the job but under no obligation!

Colin

[Bob WilsonParticipant @bobwilson59101]

I feel the secret is to sign in via the Chrome browser, and remain signed in!     If I sign out, I cannot get back in by my normal browser, Firefox! 

 

 

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

Just had a response frome the Webmaster, see below.

Colin

Hi Colin,

Thanks for letting me know. I’m off today but have cleared the cache and object cache from the site, that may resolve the issue, I’m back tomorrow afternoon so will run some further tests then.

Cheers,

Andy

[Chris FellowsParticipant @chrisfellows72943]

Thanks Colin.

I did manage to post on Tim’s thread so it looks like it did the job.

[Len Morris 2Participant @lenmorris2]

Just wonder why ‘NEWS’ is not being up dated.  Last entry is October 1923.

Len

[Colin BishopModerator @colinbishop34627]

My Mum was born in 1923….

Colin

[Richard SimpsonParticipant @richardsimpson88330]

Just after twenty past seven?

[Len Morris 2Participant @lenmorris2]

OOPs!  However the question remains.
