Travis Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Howdy All. I just upgraded SSV's software. As with any software upgrade, things will get a bit wonky as I set everything back. Let me know if something is broken or isn't behaving correctly. I know there's a number of things that I have on my list. I'm going to try to get things back to normal over the next few days. Hopefully, you won't notice most of them. OCtoolguy and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Scared me, I have been hiding, I hit the return key and all of a sudden it went to "Software Upgrade".... I though I had really screwed something up! OCtoolguy, meflick and Travis 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Thank you Travis. We appreciate all your hard work for us here in the Village. Travis and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I've updated the theme. Hopefully, nobody can tell the difference. I see the individual display records for our database is broken (things like scroll saw reviews, clubs, shops, etc). I'll have to dig into that and figure out what's wrong. Let me know if anybody else sees anything off. Thanks all! OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 OK. I was able to track down the error in the database records (scroll saw reviews, clubs, pattern vendors, etc), I think I have everything fixed now. Let me know if something isn't behaving correctly. thanks all! meflick and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 @Travis, When I come here via a bookmark on my tool bar the takes me to new/changed posts since my last visit. I know it must do some kind of search to do this. I now get a banner across my the top, just under the advertisements that is highlighted and states " The search index is currently processing. Activity stream results may not be complete." Not sure if this is new or I just never noticed it before. I don't know what it is telling me.

When you update software, it goes through the entire site and re-indexes all of the posts for easier searching. Your page that you land on should be pretty up to date. It usually does the most recent content first, then goes to the older stuff. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimErn Posted April 20, 2019 Report Share Posted April 20, 2019 I use the unread content page mostly, in the past when you clicked mark site read, the screen would refresh with no threads listed tried that today (just got back from vacation) and the page does not refresh like it did, but if I revisit the unread content page, it does show that those threads were marked as read OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 In the unread listing I click the bullet or star next to the thread tile, go to first unread post. Before the upgrade that worked fine, almost immediate screen display. After the upgrade I get a "waiting on ..." until I give up and just click the thread title, then it comes in immediately I kind of feel this is connected to the my previous comment about the mark as read not refreshing the listing OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted April 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Huh...yah, when I click the Mark Site Read, it will refresh the status of the posts (making them unbolded and removing the bullet), but won't remove the posts. If you refresh, they disappear. I guess it's nice to be able to click into a thread after clicking the button. Maybe on the next update, it'll revert to how it used to be. When I click the bullet, I still go to the first unread post. So that seems to work for me. It seems a bit laggy, though. But that could be my connection.

JimErn Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Ok I see the unbold now that you mentioned it, that works, hate change like it the other way though still lags lot when I click first unread, but the thread comes in immediately when I click it, no lag at all, I have a high speed connection, and if the thread comes in like it should, then the first unread sub routine is having an issue IMO OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 The only thing I have noticed lately is that it seems like your server is slower. I used to click on something and I'd get a pretty fast reaction. Now, if i click on a notification that somebody reacted to or quoted me or whatever, the little activity symbol goes round and round for upwards of a minute sometimes. I have a very fast computer and a 100/100 internet speed so the only thing I can think of is traffic on your site. It started recently like within the last 2 weeks. I was wondering if you had done something and I just saw your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I just noticed after submitting my last post here that it took about 15 seconds to save it. That's slower too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Ray I've noticed the same thing. I notice especially when I click the icon for go to first unread message that can take over a minute, but if I also just click on the thread title it comes in right away. I've tried FF, Chrome, IE and Tor, all the same here, no issues on other forums I visit. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 I could not get on yesterday afternoon (my time), it kept saying Opps Sorry we seem to have a problem, or some such thing. Now today it is slow when I press submit reply. Marg OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Site seemed to be down early in the am yesterday for me too, now it works better than ever, weird. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 Yah...I heard it was down for a short time yesterday. There was some server upgrades that happened in the background. I think there was a bit of lag as it switched DNS severs, which made it unavailable for a bit. I'm hoping things are working a bit better. Page refreshes seem to work OK, it's more the dynamic stuff that seem to be lagging a bit. I'm not sure if it's the server, or if it's the software update I made a bit ago. I'll check with the company that makes the software to see if they have any insight. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 This is an old thread from 2019. Nothing has changed recently. I haven't had any trouble with typing or posting comments. If your missing letters when typing, it sounds like a bad keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
