Test

mchunt_idnet · Sep 17, 2007, 09:14:12

Just testing.

Lance · Sep 17, 2007, 12:19:38

Is it working?

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:26:01

It is now.

Lance · Sep 17, 2007, 12:26:42

That's what I like to hear!

Ray · Sep 17, 2007, 12:30:37

Seems much faster as well

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:32:50

Indeed it does, Ray - I think we were causing the old server to have a nervous breakdown.

Simon · Sep 17, 2007, 12:35:11

Well done, guys!

I've got smileys OK. At least in the post reply window. After posting too...

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 12:48:09

Mmm,

No smilies for me at all......................

Rik,

The normal standard one.............

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:51:22

Can you try clearing your cache please? Do you not see the smileys, or can you just not insert them?

Ray · Sep 17, 2007, 12:52:38

Smilies OK here, Rik

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:53:01

Thanks, Ray, which forum theme?

The Forum default one, Rik.

Thanks. Is PM working OK for you - I'll send you one, just give me a sec...

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 12:57:25

Rik,

cache cleared but same.

I see the empty boxes and descriptions of the smilies but no graphics............

Weird.........

ReD

MAABOF

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:58:05

What browser?

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 12:58:27

IE6

ReD

MAABOF

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 12:59:14

I don't have IE6 on this machine, but IE7 is OK, as is FF.

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 13:00:59

Mmmm,

Did not install IE7 cos at the time it was way buggy..............

Strange that the forum move has done this, I have checked other forums I access and they are fine.

Nvm, dont use them much anyway !!

ReD

MAABOF

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 13:02:04

I'm just firing up another machine to check IE6, Red. Back in a mo.

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 13:04:17

I have smileys in IE6 too.

I don't know what to suggest, tbh. Anyone else got any thoughts?

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 13:07:33

Thx for trying,

The actual link does not work so that is the problem for me pasting the angry one for example into a new IE window shows page not found...............

Odd, the link works fine for me (and presumably, Ray).

Sue · Sep 17, 2007, 13:13:23

I've just logged in using my 'test' account, so privileges shouldn't be an issue - that's fine too. I'll ask around.

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 13:15:54

Its got to do with a cache issue.......

Try flushing your DNS Cache with this command ipconfig /flushdns ReD to see if that helps, and clear your cookies and cache as well, I have smileys working ok here

also a reboot never goes amiss

I think that's there to allow some re-direction to the new server, but I'm seeing the same and the smileys are working OK for me.

I'll keep asking.

I'm waiting to speak to Martin, Red, and will post once I have done. What AV/Firewall are you running? I just wonder whether the latter, in particular, might have something to do with it. Lance suggests you delete all temp files (Tools > Internet Options > General tab > Delete files button.)

ReDGryphoN · Sep 17, 2007, 13:50:18

Rik,

Deleted ALL file and files, cookies and offline content

I use NIS 2005

ReD

MAABOF

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 13:53:01

I'm out of ideas, tbh, Red. If it works for some people, it should work for everyone. I'll talk to Martin as soon as he's available and post back. I'll PM you at the same time so you don't have to keep checking the thread.

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 14:17:19

Martin's been down in the bowels of the forum, hitting the server with his club hammer, Red, and we think you should now be OK. Can you confirm please?

Gary (Killhippie) advises that you should not upgrade to IE7 while you're using NIS2005, they're not compatible. Thanks, Gary.

Sometimes it's best not to upgrade to IE7 when using Windows XP as it's sometimes incompatible.

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 15:31:43

I confess I never have done, but the newest machine came with IE7 pre-installed... At least it gives me one more browser to test.

Kheldar · Sep 17, 2007, 15:32:19

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 16:22:06

Yup. Disk got full, so we got given a new, larger and more powerful, server this morning. Instant migration with a few teething problems, now in our new zippy home.

i was busy having a day off

lie in after a hard night out at our local indian with quite a few sambucca's

Rik · Sep 17, 2007, 18:44:33

I don't know how to break this to you, but Sambucca is an Italian liqueur...

Kheldar · Sep 17, 2007, 19:34:46

you are correct

so you dont have to break anything

they give free sambucca and tia maria at the end of your meal.

and as we know them and go quite often they just leave the sambucca bottle on the table

OK another one for you and the new forum,

I have to log in everytime I visit the forum, even if I select forever as the login option so somehow it dont like the cookie.

Every other forum I visit once logged in with the same option has no problem from then on.

You may have to re-allow the cookie in your browser, as I think the url of the forum has changed since the server move. If you are using Firefox, the cookie may be only being allowed for one session by default. You need to allow it to be stored, in order to stay logged in.

Rik · Sep 18, 2007, 08:31:34

Exactly right, Simon, the forum is generating a new set of cookies.

After the upgrade even though I don't use it but it is safer then 6 supposedly

I did a chkdsk, 568 errors after updating, there were 12 before as I had run chkdsk before to make sure all was ok, so if anyone does upgrade who has not, do a chkdsk, after updating, after all Microsoft is not compatible with hardware either
