Problems

[pro5x2]

I can't access my User Control Panel, and am unable to use search. It is locked at having to wait 16 seconds. Also, i am unable to view new posts, (no search) and am unable to see when there are new posts.

Any help please??

[pdhaudio83]

still the same ?

[pdhaudio83]

I just ran a simulated test using your screen name. I searched for "test" and no errors came up...

[pro5x2]

Yup. I click on User CP and I am forced to log in and when I do it brings me right back to the loginscreen. I can get into my PM's though and post, but, no CP

[pro5x2]

I know I posted in here, but it doesn't show now. lol

Also, even after reading a PM from Chris, i go to the new posts, it is froze at 17 seconds till next search again and even if I go to a new window, it keeps telling me I have a new PM

What about on this page:

http://www.themazdaforum.com/vaispy.php
--can you view new posts there? That might clear up if it's some weird permissions issue or not.

Also I assume you got my PM linking you to discussion on another forum from two days ago where users were having the same issue. Does your error mention mention "security token" or similar?

I'm finding that this is some 3.6.x vbulletin glitch (solved in 3.6.10), more reason to get us upgraded to 3.7 as soon as possible. Like I told pat via PM I can do the upgrade any time before midnight tonight, but people will just have to deal with about an hour of forum downtime.

I only tried a few things.. rebuilding/optimizing database tables and making sure all your access masks were set to defaults.

When you get back on the computer you were having trouble on, if it's still having trouble, try clearing your cookies and cache.

Goodmorning fellas! Just wanted to let ya know I am still having the same problems here, but, i do beleive it is the computer. My phone works fine as well as my powerbook. It's the PC giving me issues. GOnna reboot and see what happens

So, I don't think it's the forums. I'll let ya know

Alright, after reboot, I can access everything, but, strange way of doing it

I click User CP and I see new posts. I click the post with new posts and there aren't any. I hit refresh in the browerser screen and WHOALA!! there they are!

Same with going into the User CP. same posts. Hit refresh, wham-o a whole crapload of posts.

Could it be that I am using Internet Explorer? >.<

The site should work just fine with IE but I don't ever recommend IE (even if there was a gun to my head). Honestly I bet it was some bug with a cached session. If it happens again, clear the cache and/or cookies and see if that fixes it.

I did do the upgrade to 3.7 last night btw.

[pro5x2]

Cleared cookies twice and cache and still same problem. I click on user cp and it shows posts from previous time going into CP. I have to refresh every page i click into to view the new posts inside of it.

IE = trash
IE7 = improved trash
IE8 = unimproved improved trash (in Beta)
FF = WIN
Opera = #2 WIN
Safari on mac = #3 WIN
Safari on windows = trashier than trash
Flock = multimedia WIN (because it's running FF code on the bground) :)

enjoy.

[pro5x2]

So, it's a work computer, should i upgrade to firefox?

[fez]

of course.

they will thank you eventually because you won't catch so much sh*t!

use the latest FF 2 for now. ff 3 beta 5 is stable, but it has a couple of minor issues.

Also, frequently use CCleaner to get rid of your cookies, cache, and other useless crap.

^^^ amazing website, btw. :)

[pro5x2]

Installing firefix now. We'll see if it's any better

[kansei]

Yeah if your IT dept doesn't care, go for it.

[pro5x2]

They probably will care. But, Oh well.

Everything works fine on firefox now.

[fez]

w00t. glad to hear that.
and if your IT dept has at least a little bit of smarts - they won't mind. :)
