I'm having a problem getting read messages marked as read. Even after marking all forums as read, they are still showing as new in some cases, but not all.

Is anyone else having this issue or is it just me?

there is some wierd formatting when you reply. The emoticons window is huge and they don't show properly. Not a huge deal, just letting you guys know.

You are due to catch a break.

I've just been logging out and then logging back in to clear the unread messages.

It works for me, in the short term, at least.

do you guys have "www" in the url. For some reason I only have those issues when i put in www in the URL. Try just putting in http://wtfdetroit.com

I'm having these same issues. I click the always log me in box and it doesn't even log me in the first attempt. It works the next time, but then if I close the internet window and re-opne it im my favorites again, it doesn't remember me.

Other than that, I'm good. Nice work.

I'm still getting that error too. Nobody else mentioned it, so I updated my windows completely and reset all my internet explorer settings just to see if it was my PC. But it's still happening to me too. Wierd.

I still get the login problems as of Today, december 30th. Also, starting about twenty minutes ago, when I look at a thread where a new post is, it still shows up with the Orange circle as if it's still unread. I've tried refreshing, etc., to no avail.

Vinny,

are you using http://wtfdetroit.com/index.php without the "www"?

Once I switched over to that url, my similar problems ceased to exist.

I have the same problem and it's fucking weird.

I'll log in as soon as I come here (on the bottom of the index).

Then I'll go look at stuff and when I want to post it wants me to log in again. This is a bitch since I use the Quick Reply thing all the time.

Now I might get 3 or more threads done with that log in but it isn't too long before all of a sudden I'm logged out again.

WTF?

I use that url and firefox but do a clean up and all that other shit after I get offline, every single time so my cookies are non-existent.

Oh, I'm also having a problem with the Off-Topic board. It's fucking boring. Is this a tech issue or are the OT legends letting the side down?

Can we get some fucking decent topics in the OT board or not?

Don't make me start another Bible thread.

Fucking happened again!

I logged in, viewed threads in the Boardroom and the Stands and then came here.

I checked to see if I was still logged in and according to the page I was.

So I use the quick reply and BOOM! have to log in.

Fuck!

Anyway, I use the http: not the www. url so that's not the problem.

Might it be because I delete my cookies?

It's not a big deal since I don't post much but it's still a pain in the arse

That just happened to me again.

The thing that bothers me the most is I can't figure out which threads I read because it will show either everything is read or everything is unread.

Fucking annoying.

Pharaoh
01-05-2006, 07:23 AM
Ok, it happened again!

I logged on and checked the Boardroom. I made 1 post then checked the stands.

Nothing much there so I came here to see if any experts had come up with a solutions. No such luck so I typed in this reply:


Yeah, and if one of you expert tech heads can figure it out we'd be grateful.

BTW, this never happened when I was using Explorer, even though I deleted my cookies all the time.

So is it firefox?

I think Mola uses it as well so if he's got no drama then why is this site fucking with me?

And was asked again to log in.

WTF! I'm just gonna copy all my posts for today and from now on I'll use Explorer when I come here. It's no big deal.

Good luck H1Man

I just tried and went to The Stands and checked a post in there and all. So, we'll see if this post goes through.

edit: It worked fine for me.

Insted of clearing you cookies, try clearing you "cache", that might work.

Pharaoh
01-05-2006, 09:12 AM
So does anyone wanna take a guess at why I'm having problems then?

If bangpow is using the same browser and it's all good for him why is mine fucking around?

Glenn
01-05-2006, 09:12 AM
it's gotta be a cookies issue

that's my best guess

have you tried lowering your security settings one notch?

Pharaoh
01-05-2006, 09:19 AM
Can anyone explain to me why I've been to this thread 3 times since going online and everytime I come in here I have to log in to post?

Fuck this shit.

I'll just use explorer for this site and firefox for everything else

Or are my settings fucked on firefox? I have no idea.

Damn pc shit - too much fucking hassle.

I use Firefox 1.5 and I cleared my cache a bunch of times last night because i was working on my site. I also use a Mac, which i'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I mean, it shouldn't.

01-05-2006, 10:48 AM

There is a problem with this emoticon.

The only way to get it to display properly is by posting the URL and using img tags.

http://wtfdetroit.com/images/smiles/evil5.gif

It shows up as "evil3" when you select it from the emoticon menu, but evil3 is a different one, the url says "evil5" but evil5 is yet another different one.

I normally wouldn't care, but this is one of my favorites.

Does this site use any 3rd party cookies? The reason I ask is because my security options are set to reject all 3rd party cookies, so I am not sure if that plays any role in the login issues.

The problem does occur with Firefox too, so I don't think it's just limited to IE.

MOLA1

I think the issue might be with Firefox.

Whenever I used Firefox, I almost always had to login multiple times before it worked. But with IE, it's not as frequent.

i'm so scared right now you guys....

The way I understand it, there's actually a few second delay in getting the visitors moved over to "Who's online" after they log in.

Does that make sense?

When you see a visitor "checking private messages", that is actually a registered poster that has just logged in and their name just hasn't been recognized/moved over to the "Who's online" section yet.

I'm sure that clears it up.

But fear is the appropriate reaction, TK.

It works 98% of the time, like when I click on your profile, I can view your posts. But I have seen it every now and then when it doesn't work.

And yes, the site has been slow on occasion over the past two days. Hopefully it's temporary, but since your site is hosted at the same place, you probably know more about this than I do.
