New Bugs and Issues

[hmxsean]

So this afternoon Greg flipped the switch on the new vBulletin forums for the site. Immediately the performance of the site got way better. Yay! There probably are a few bugs here and there due to migrating everything over and getting it working. Feel free to post them here.

I found a huge bug ... the forums now load really fast so I don't have time to twiddle my thumbs between pages ... this boost in productivity is simply unacceptable! I barely even feel lazy when posting here at work now!

But seriously though, they look great, and the faster load time is awesome. Look forward to seeing everything made to transition smoothly!

One small thing though, I keep getting kicked out to the login page and then it won't load the "You have logged in" thing ... so ... I don't know, I still seem to be able to post, but it is confusing to me when it keeps asking me who I am when I've already told it. Just a small little thing really since it doesn't seem to be interefering.

It's a cookie setting in this software plus some links use www. in front of rockbandgame.com.
Those are two separate domains as far as cookies are concerned, but act as one on most web servers.

To fix this, the admin needs to adjust the cookie domain settings in the AdminCP.

So far, I've seen these issues:

• Not working again - Use of different domain names in some area. Some links have www and some don't. This causes users to be logged off when they should be logged in. You will get a lot of complaints for this one. It happens on many BB systems. Are you using a redirect on www? Even though I see www in links, they are not going to those. This might be what is causing the login issues. See http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...48&postcount=7
• After changing my profile settings for the timezone, it wants to go to an ip that starts with 172. It is not using the domain name.
• Fixed - Announcements not at top in forum list (Not a bug, just symantecs)
• Suggestion: Imported members have the "Instant Email Notification" turned on by default. This option might have been hidden in the other software so we could not change it and it was imported here. In time, your email server will have a lot of outgoing emails when the site gets busy. Perhaps turning this off and let the user decide?
• Conversion to vB left   in some posts. Here's one of them: http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...94&postcount=1 . This one has more markup language tags besides   : http://rockbandgame.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=41 Also, see next note.
• Viewing a single post makes it centered.
• Some original BBcode tags are not being translated in vB. New bbCode needs to be added to vB to support old posts. See this post for the issue: http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...8&postcount=12
• Topics/Boards not being marked as read due to below post: http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...38&postcount=4
• Private Messages: "Total" value is incorrect. Need a new PM to see if "Unread" is correct. Maybe not tied into the phpfox PM system? If not, maybe this section should not be shown?
• Signatures not showing in vB. The link to edit your sig in vB goes back to phpfox's profile page where the old sig is but that entry is not being shown here. Maybe purposely by your setting to not show sigs or a bug if sigs are allowed here.
• Post count incorrect - Posts from old forum not counting in total posts by member.
• Links in footer have issues
  • TERMS & CONDITIONS - New popup window produces an Javascript type Alert window but displays after clicking OK.
  • PRIVACY POLICY - New popup window produces an Javascript type Alert window but displays after clicking OK.
  • HELP GUIDE - Javascript error. Does not work.
  • CONTACT US - Bad URL. Does not work.
  • INVITE - Bad URL. Does not work.
  • ABOUT US - Bad URL. Does not work.
  • PRESS - Javascript error. Does not work.

More on the subdomain www of rockbandgame in links:

I use Firefox as my main browser. If I leave off the leading www for a site, it adds it for me.

If I go to rockbandgame.com, it puts me at www.rockbandgame.com. I can force it by removing the www. Now if I click any of the links from the horizontal menu (Main/Browse/Blogs/etc), it redirects me to www.rockbandgame.com on all the phpfox links and the new Forum link.

This is where a problem occurs.

If I view the main forum index, the links on the right for the last topic look like they go to www.rockbandgame.com but they go to rockbandgame.com for me. The topic does come up but because my cookie is for www.rockbandgame.com (which phpfox assigned when I logged in), vB does not see me logged in.

ADDING:
Another area where the www is dropped is when a topic has a new reply and displays
http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...s/firstnew.gif.
Example:
The link properties show http://www.rockbandgame.com/vbforum/...o=newpost&t=92 but clicking the image brings me to http://rockbandgame.com/vbforum/show...o=newpost&t=92 which again thinks I'm not logged in.

ADDING #2: I might have found another area where it is messing up. It look's like it might be the redirect URL. I just edited this post and saw the redirect put me at rockbandgame.com instead of www.rockbandgame.com. I didn't notice this before since I was using the quick edit feature, which worked okay before. This time, I used the "Go Advanced", which is the same as clicking the Reply button. After I posted the edit, that is when it sent me somewhere else.

I hope that explains it better.

Hate bumping my own replies but editing my reply above to add more things found probably does not mark this topic as having a new reply.

Don't worry, I am monitoring this closely and have stickied the topic. We are going to try to fix a good deal of this for tomorrow.

Any 360 user of q has the GH2 is careful with the following error of the game, this are the steps to do it:

1. - A data of the game and a band.
2. - Later it creates another band, but this errase it.
3. - The go to the menu of the 360.
4.- Put again the game, but when you load your data the screen freeze and you can't play again.

This is actually for the reporting of bugs on this website. If you are having problems with GH2 you should probably report them here-

http://www.redoctane.us/support-center/

as they handle Customer Support for the Guitar Hero series.

You know what they say two heads are better than one. *rimshot*

That is true ... and this server is better than the last one.

Server speed issue seems like it's behind you now Sean. I'd cross it off the list myself but it got lost somewhere back there on page 1.

Kudos to this beast on steroids.
The real test will be when HMX releases new information.

PS: It might be wise to remove any sharp objects from Mattmoss' work area.
