Hi

During a search it now asks you a random question. Previously it used to ask this only when you hadn't logged in. Is this change deliberate?

Yes it is. It will stop when you reach a certain number of posts.

It was put in place to stop spamming.

Hmmm :think: Can't save changes to my signature :C Only tried to change the date and I get the error "BB code url is not allowed." Always worked before. :shrug:

Any clues????

OK this is really annoying.
As posted earlier, certain posts are not displaying properly.
So far all posts by Tea Lady and Watson.
I don't have either of them on ignore or any settings different. Could it be something in their sigs that is causing this? Have i inadvertantly turned something off/on? Help :C

It is definitely a problem at your end more likely than not it's Internet Explorer. Get rid of IE for a bit and try Firefox, free download here: Mozilla | Firefox web browser & Thunderbird email client. You'll wish you did it years ago.

This seems to be a problem when there is a URL in the sig, you are not the only one having the problem.

Just wondering if you have a virus that is attacking IE.

Have you tried another browser to see if it does the same thing.

I just had another play with it... permission to put a URL in your sig has been turned off.
If you already have a sig with a URL you can't edit it & save it until you remove the URL.

If you want to add a URL to your sig, it won't let you.

You will get a message that says "BB code url is not allowed."

I have had a couple of people ask me how I got a URL in my sig, the answer is that it was put there before the permission was removed.

I dont know if its just me but whenever I go to view threads, posts or my messages from home pc or my iPhone I get security messages, i get "this page no longer exists" messages. Darn annoying as hell. I get replies in threads but dont get the email for a week or two. Slowly getting " not happy jan". Did i say it has only been since the swap over.

Is this problem only from your home computer and iPhone?

Are they both with the same service provider?

Sounds like they are trying to pick up the old server so maybe there's a DNS cache problem. These should have cleared world wide a few days at most after the server change over but who knows.

Try flushing the DNS in the computer and if this works have a go at the iPhone.

How to Flush DNS in Microsoft Windows

In Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache. Open the command prompt and type the following:
C:>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
The above command will completely flush the DNS, deleting any incorrect entries too. You can also use the command ipconfig /displaydns to view the DNS resolver cache.

Flush DNS in Mac OSX

In Mac OSX Leopard, you can use the command dscacheutil -flushcache to flush the DNS resolver cache:
bash-2.05a$ dscacheutil -flushcache
In Mac OSX versions 10.5.1 and before, the command lookupd -flushcache performed the same task:
bash-2.05a$ lookupd -flushcache

iPhone - How to Flush DNS

Step 1 - Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

Step 2 - Reload your iPhone Safari page.

If this doesn't work please post back in here and we'll see what else can be done.

Hey jenno,

When you click a link from your email, is part of the URL on the next line and not linked?

Can you visit the homepage Woodwork Forums - Powered by vBulletin from home?

Can you ping the domain?

Just had the weirdest thing happen when I tried to type a reply in to the forum in two threads this being one. My keys no matter where I typed were incorrect. Yes I was hitting the right keys. Yes I checked another program or two they were fine. I had to close down Firefox and restart clearing the cache was not enough as was signing out.

Working fine now.

Fumes are bad I'll admit Cliff but no glue in here.

I even had Sue come watch just in case something was seriously wrong Cliff She admitted for a change it wasn't me. Even the fumes.

Hi Neil. My PC and iPhone are on different accounts. On the iPhone I am using the Tapatalk program which says forums are "native" to it. When it works it's great. check up on things at work and all. Here is the most common message I get, even after clearing both dns's.

"This webpage is not available
The webpage at https://www.woodworkforums.com/newrep...eply&p=1284284 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error"

It happens quite regularly on the PC and the iPhone says "permission Error, Security error, you may not have permission to access". that's most of the time, I reload about 3 times b4 it gets anywhere.

Thanks, in the end it was down for 2 hours 3 minutes 39 seconds!

We had some problems getting it rebooted, so it took 2 hrs to fix instead of 5 minutes.

Today i'll see if I can workout what caused the server to stop responding.

It's a bit of a mystery atm, there are no intensive tasks like backups running. I can see the server load and page load time spikes in our monitoring.

Yep thanks, server load spiked for a currently unknown reason. We have the forum software set to basically switch the site off once the server load exceeds a certain value. While it's annoying, it essentially gives the server a chance to catch up on the tasks and recover....much better than the alternative of being overwhelmed and crashing.

Considering the crash a few nights ago, and visible load spikes last night and tonight, there is obviously something going on that needs fixing. :)

I got a server too busy message when attempting to reload my boat thread on the Storer forum a few minutes ago (circa 10 pm, 9 Mar '11). Seems to have cleared up now though, and this thread loaded from scratch just fine. And I have been finding the forum appallingly slow on the odd occassions in the evening as well, but have put that down to overloading on Optus' local cable feed (it's highly congestion-sensitive).

Cheers,
Alex.
