ThinkDigit Forum - bugs, suggestions etc.

Hi

With bug complaints being spread across many threads, it's hard to find them all.

I request all members to post errors and bugs here, and if you see another member posting about bugs or errors anywhere else, please point them here.

Also, instead of posting "I got a Database error!", try being a little descriptive of what you were doing when you experienced the error. It will help me troubleshoot the error better.

For instance:

Bug: After logging in from the home page, the header does not refresh, and shows the username password fields instead of the logged in user. If you click on a thread or refresh, this gets fixed. Possible caching problem.

is a lot better than

why does it not show me logged in?

and

I got a database error at about 12:24 PM on 6th August 2010 when trying to post using the quick reply in the following thread <URL here>

is a lot better than

Database error!!!

Thanks, I appreciate your help reporting the bugs, and will try and fix them all ASAP.

Quick reply doesn't work. Says message is too short (<10 chars).

Got multiple database errors today, some happened when I clicked quote post button, some happened when trying to refresh user cp, got fixed in a few minutes.

Here's the list of errors/bugs/glitches I've faced so far :

1. When I login the page automatically redirects me to the front page of the forum but still the front page does not shows login status on the upper right corner. I've to visit a thread and then the login status is showing correctly on the upper right corner.

2. occasionally I face database error but with threads with 150+ pages.

3. Occasionally I face timeout error when editing or posting large messages - it occurs if I wait too much while editing or posting and sometimes while even opening a thread.

4. Sometimes all images in a thread does not loads correctly.

5. The number of spam messages has increased.

6. occasionally I face slow opening of pages but most of the time it's fast enough.

7. sometime the time stamps on a post is not showing correctly.

8. Very frequently I face miscounting - Say I've opened 5 threads and made 5 posts - out of those only 2 or 3 will be counted in the total post count.

9. While posting a link - page title of a page is also automatically inserted in the post.

for eg : nVIDIA Geforce 480 470 285 260 9800 275 295 GT GTX AMD ATI Radeon HD 5870 5850 5770 4890 X2 - Guru of 3D: PC Hardware Reviews or

MSI 790FX-GD70 : Roundup: Four 790FX Socket AM3 Motherboards

Thanks a lot for creating this thread - it was very much needed.

Regarding bugs...

I sometimes get database errors while physically deleting spam posts. And moderation features work slow.

Edit: 10 characters is back.

The forum name has been increased hugely by digitadmin?. A simple Digit Technology Discussion Forum was enough.

What about giving the moderators the permission of IP range banning for a while? Because the spammers actually register from the same IP range and they are always outside from India.

Hi guys

I'm evaluating VB4, will let you know soon when we will shift to it. Also, I've found the site loading to be a lot faster, and I experience very few bugs, but I'll look at logs to see what the problem could be. Thanks for the heads up, I'll spend my Saturdays looking into this.

Any volunteers to help me fix it all on Saturdays? I could really use help bug testing and problem solving... we could connect on IRC while I test.

I'll always be @ #krow on Freenode.

Thats a feature actually and a very good one. If you get a very long title, then you can edit your post again. 95% of the time, titles fetched are appropriate and good.

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters

Not sure if this is the right thread :

But I hate the worst part of reporting :

This forum requires that you wait 180 seconds between reporting posts. Please try again in 125 seconds.

Why would I wait for 3 minutes to report a spam, advertising etc..?

Thanks Neeraj. That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't really have too much experience with vbseo, which is what has been added recently, and seems to have broken a few things, plus it takes time to install vb4 on a dummy server and then vbseo over it and then importing our 1.5 gb sql database. I'll keep you guys posted, but I'm not going to have the time to reply to each and every post in this thread. I'll give you updates every few days. Next saturday I plan to have some of the bugs fixed, and hopefully a vb4 test forum also running.

I've not faced this error ( message too short ) even a single time and I'm using my trusty opera 10.60.

May be it has something to do with browsers though I'm not sure.

Don't know why you are getting this error _ may forum gives errors in busy times coz of heavy loads on the DB and connection.

BTW, I use Opera with Fanboy's URL filter and Optimized Element Filter.

^ click on the link above, you'll find yourself logged out. I think this can be fixed by tweaking around with the cookie settings of vBulletin.

Clicked on that link and the header was not showing that I'm logged in but after I clicked on a thread link the header was again showing that I'm looged in - so clicking on the link did not log me out.

BTW, while login into forum I always tick Remember Me.

P

When I visit my profile page, the visit count climbs, sometimes slowly and sometimes more quickly. So far so good (I know my own visits don't count).

BUT the names of the last five visitors often (but not always) stay the same. In some cases, this may be because the same member visits my page more than once. But this happens too often, sometimes even after the count had increased by a substantial number.

This has been going on for a long time. Is it a bug?

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 PM ----------

One possible explanation occurred to me after I posted the question:

When a guest or a member who's not logged in visits my profile, the count goes up but there's no username to record. Is this correct?

Profile visit count also increases when a lurker visits your profile, I think.

I am also getting 10 char error.. plz fix it ASAP..im using FF as browser

The error has stopped for me. I tried clearing "everything" from my browser and then logging in again. (Cookies, Search History etc.)

Okay. When I quick reply (with 10+ chars), the 10 char error comes. However if I post again, a new message (same thread), the old post is the one which actually appears.

^^flush your buffer

The tech team has run some fixes. Has anyone got any database errors in the past few days?

All those with the 10 char problem, please do as ico suggested... I am completely unable to recreate this problem in Chrome, Firefox, Opera or IE. I can't fix what I can't see...

while posting first getting the 10 char error comes but after that internal error
http 500 internal error comes
unable to creat a new thread

I am facing the 10 char problem again. It has been a few days since I have been logged in though. This time I also tried clearing cookies; it didn't work.

Applying Punitive action to a spammer i.e. Deleting all his posts at once takes a lot of time and I face MySQL errors while doing it sometimes.

its more than 2 weeks, am not able to start a thread because of 10 character bug :-x

, when it will be fixed :?:

I keep gettin this message>>> The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters. , what ever amount of words i type i cant post

. its happenning in hardware QnA section

Today morning got two types of errors :

1 : Database error
2 : Could not connect to the remote server

I've been trying to submit a thread in ISP Discussions section with body of quite a few lines and this is what I'm getting -

" 1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters."

The body contains 1103 characters, so I have no idea on how to overcome this message.

EDIT: Looks like this kind of error has already been discussed here.

Is the 10 chars bug solved or not???

Note: I have obeserved that the 10chars bug is happening frm fireox & not from
Opera 10

Please test and tell me if this problem continues... Please empty ALL browser caches and cookies before doing so. I've switched back to the legacy vertical postbit top see if that helps.

ok thats better.

But is there anyway of preventing these spambots to register at all? I mean 90% of the new users registering on the forum are bots.

Ok let me look into that... if they're humans registering and then giving login info to bots, or actual humans posting and spamming, then no I can't do anything. Something tells me we'd have 8726340857613456 users if automated bots had found a way through our defenses... these are humans.

well, there are humans too but most are automated bots from what it seems as they all spam in the same way and return everytime after getting banned. Humans don't return immediately.

For example, you see this guy: Digit Technology Discussion Forum - Tech Discussion Forums in India - View Profile: nopq263 I had banned him many days ago and I see him always trying to reply to the same thread when I check "Who's online."

been trying to open a new thread in hardware q & a & all it comes is that 10 character or more error even though it was wayyyy more...but able to reply via quick reply...the annoying part is when i have written a huge post for help,after submitting everything gets wiped out except the thread name..it is very annoying...been trying this for the past 15min....cleared my cookies/history...everything..yet the prob..tried both on ie & FF..though i use FF more...

^^ well...try Opera. Opera browser | Faster & safer internet | Free download Thats the only thing I can suggest.

Send me the content of your post if it's urgent. I'd create a thread for you.

which browser u r using....

Argghhh...i still have this prob & can't post the query...What is going on??I never used to have any such problems with digit forums...so u are saying changing browsers would make it work??Damn i really wish i did not have to install other browser just for the digit forums since i already have chrome,FF & IE..but ahh well..will try...
@ico...thanks a lot..will see..if i can't get this to work on opera too..then will post u the message for the thread...

so finally it worked in opera...but still am hoping that the team fixes the issue at the earliest...would be a lot convenient then....Thanks for the suggestion...@ico & karanth85..thanks again...

which version of firefox u r using.....???
i m using v3.6 & i hope this bug is not there in v4.0

hey but u can post in quick reply...in firefox....

i am using v3.6.8..but yes i can post in quick reply,cannot open new threads..is it only me facing this problem with fire fox or do others also face similar problems?

Ok. In order to form a standard approach for this, and prevent me from chasing wild geese, I suggest the following:

At least 3 users have to be able to recreate a problem using the specified parameters.

Let's take this 10 character bug now as an example. I suggest you check what your "Message Editor Interface" setting in your usercp > options is, also, after clearing cache and cookies, tell us which browser it happened in (name and version), what OS are you using, and any procedures you followed to get the error. In case you're using the neat digit mod, try disabling it and see if the error goes away. Also try with a different browser, and tell me if this happens in all browsers or just one. Waiting for 3 people to respond with this data.

My data:

Attempted in Opera 10.61 | Chrome 5.0.375.127 | IE 8.0.7600.16385
Result: Cannot recreate 10 character error.

Account setting for all IDs I tried with are set to the default:
Message Editor Interface - Standard Editor - Extra Formatting Controls

@Raaabo: Clearing the Cache/Cookies is not resolving & also the OS type...
this issue is related to browser....

Raaabo, the error only comes when you use "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing" option for ur forum editor.

Does not come for standard editor.

For the Quick Reply, the editor is by default "Standard Editor" but a lot of us here use "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing" editor hence such problems faced.

IMO, it won't matter which browser or OS someone use.

Test results :

The 2nd and 3rd line was posted using FF 3.6.8. - success !

The 1st and 4th line was posted using opera 10.61 - success !

Posting test completed without any errors on both browsers

erm the problem wasn't that of quick reply with FF..rather the problem was more of opening a new thread in this forum with FF...

one more thing i wanted to point out was that when i opened a new thread with opera finally,i could later edit it using FF but cannot open a new thread as i keep getting 10 char error...

Somehow "WYSIWYG" editor worked for me just now!!!
Raaabo did u do something?

I'm on FF 3.6.8 and with NeatDigit extension.

^the problem is with FF 3.6.6

A

its with ff 3.6.8 also, I can't open new thread for months....... :-o

I use Firefox 3.6.8 on my Mac and Opera 10.61 in Windows. The cause of the problem is unknown but it can surely be fixed by clearing everything out. I have faced it in both the browsers and also fixed myself in both of them.

Welcome to the club... :twisted:

..Use opera browser,u will be able to post from there....

So,u mean TD does not support FF which I'm using ATM ???

Try now please... just made some changes, want to see if the problem continues...

Testing to see if the double-post prevention is off

Ok good, can people please test and let me know if the 10-char problem is gone or not. I was never getting it with any browser, from any account, anyway, so cannot test.

P

Firefox 3.6.10 10 character is problem is there. When u try to start a new thread and try to submit it u will get 10 character problem. and when u try to post on the same page with error u will again get the 10 character problem and when u go back one page (back button) u will see that the content u posted if not there just write again the content and submit it it will work.

I am getting the 10 character problem in Firefox 3.6.8 and IE 8!!!

Me Too.. used IE8 & FF 3.6.10

I just changed the Edit mode to normal (not WYSIWYG) and it worked perfect.

Please test and report --- need to know status post the upgrade to 3.8.6 PL1. I still can't get this error in IE or FF myself...

I only got that error once, and never again, very frustrating to try and fix something you can't reproduce

new problem, whenever next page is clicked , a pop up of advertisement is popping up............................ :-x

, please look into it.

i have an idea, not sure if its gonna work. register as a new member & try create a thread. cause i seen many new users complaining that they fail to create new thread (in the HW Q&A section mainly).

bro, what advertisement? where? i clicked through half a dozen thread. not a single advertisement. oh yes i using AdBlock on Chrome. but still no popup.

I'm also not facing any kind of add problems and I'm using ad block for opera.

A

am using ff................

testing 10 char quick reply

OK. Something serious broke.

Are new users facing this error more than older members? If a newly registered user logs out, he or she will not be able to log back in... for some strange reason... looking into the problem. Should be able to fix it by sometime tomorrow... will post an update here.

Meanwhile, can people please test to see that the character error (now 1 character error) still occurs when posting a new thread.

^^Why not a clean install ?

ichi said:
^^Why not a clean install ?

+1 for this.
Install fresh vb4 with no plugin and default theme, features and settings. Use same database. Then slowly add required plugins and add new themes.

thats one nasty problem.

yup. this will be best way to clear all the errors (will take less time than experimenting & fixing things. Windows format style :))

).

if it's going to be windows format style all the useful discussions/infos will be vanished.

So it's better to take a backup first and I really save those pages which I think is useful - this saves bandwidth, precious time and help the world to be more green

BTW, if I don't post anything or browse forum pages for a long time say 1-1.30 hour and while browsing back forum pages after that long period of time - the pages loads really slow first 3-4 pages why is that ?- I use remember me setting while log in anyway so I don't have to relogin again to post something after a long period.

Test: Now 10 Charts error doesn't come in advanced mode.

While create post in OSS section using advanced editor I get this:
The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 1 characters.

Firefox 3.6.3, Ubuntu 10.04

D

OK that problem is fixed, the forum is reverted to the older 3.8.4 version for now.

I think there are some problems with the database, honestly, so a "fresh" install is not an option, because it's not the PHP code that's broken. Let me have a good long look at it and see what can be done to fix it all once and for all.

As for VB4, it's still very buggy, with experts suggesting that it's sort of like upgrading to Vista from XP, so waiting a little for the "Win7" version of VB might be the best solution for us.

That's me, btw. I have so many browsers open to test this thing, I can barely remember which browser is which account

R

OK. I disabled the WYSIWYG editor for all types of input methods, and this seems to have fixed the 10-char problem.

New users who registered yesterday, and could not log in after a log-out, you can now use the forgot password button, reset your password, and then continue posting, etc.

Note: No members who registered before yesterday were affected in anyway at all, and a few cookies and a couple of lines of code were hurt in the making of this bug fix, but they were deleted in the most humane way possible.

Hey the 10Char Bug is gone....
I posted this comment in FF 3.6.6

^^did u try full fledged editor or what ?

ichi said:
^^did u try full fledged editor or what ?

i never changed any setting....i just clikced quote & commented....

^^well...then there is no progress.

B

test

Even after the update the full WYSIWYG editor is being an a$$, and since it basically adds very little and uses so much more RAM, I've disabled it. Hopefully I will stop hearing about this nightmare of a problem now. Look out for other bugs, and report here please...

The forum is now running the latest 3.8.X version and we should see if anything else breaks, or perhaps gets fixed.

What's next?

wow..even i managed to post a new thread from firefox...thanks a lot mod..so what was the problem??

Just thought of posting: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/discussions/132803-we-going-under-revamp.html

Test Post.

faced a weird bug today - whenever I was trying to go back to the main forum page or parent section of threads I was getting this error message :

The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later.

After i logged in everythimg was behaving normally but at around 6 am thsi weird bug started to appear.

had to clear browser cache and then it got fixed.

^^ faced same problem today at noon time. was browsing from mobile.

^^ I'm also facing the same problem now, I can log in and open user cp but if I try to visit any thread that dreadful message pops up.

A

me too facing same problem, now.

I haven't done anything btw.

I'm looking into it, brb.

Edit:
okay, some admin had changed *NIX Server Load Limit to 7. I've changed it to 10.

yup the problem was universal....

I'm getting lots of database and server busy messages.

got server busy error @ 10-11:30am today.

I^^+1..................

I'm still getting server busy errors while clicking on new posts link and for opening threads and also upon posting replies. Hope i can make this post.

Have not faced that on yesterday and not even today.

BTW, when ever you get a error message post the time when you have faced that error - that would help the admins to look at the log and fix the problem quickly.

I got the server busy error at around 9am today. I'm on mobile so it is really frustrating when you get such errors. Maybe the forum needs a server upgrade.
Edit just got another one before i could make this post.

this server error is becoming too frequent!

Load limit changed to 13.

what does that mean ico?

WTH is going on!!!!
Every time I log in a Server is busy message comes.
Are we all of a sudden getting more than expected traffic or being DDoSed or WTF?

please make sure sure that situations like yesterday will not arise in future.

been facing server error now & then but my post gets posted. WTH. sometimes i end up posting 2-3 times & wasting time deleting the duplicate posts.

yesterday faced this bug whenever I tried to post anything on any thread - posting an example ( * means ip address ) :

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.6:

BTW, only the mods faced that prob on 28th bcoz users were able to post - last post I saw was by clius at 3.10AM.

^^ nope...everyone faced that problem from 3am to 2pm. No one could post in that duration after cilus' post. I had to close the forum in the morning when I woke up.

^^ yup. i wasn't able access a visitor's msg also. only in evening time (when i checked) the forum was back.

Where is the preview of Dec 2010.

Cant see Profile pic

Any ideas?

It is working fine. Save the picture you want to have as your avatar onto your PC and then upload it.

Call me a n00b, but I cant even find the option to upload a new one, and I looked everywhere on the CP!

Happens with almost every other post of mine since last week.

I'm on Firefox BTW.

I am facing the same problem. If i click on the "Digit Technology Discussion Forum" at the top of the page, i get the dreaded "Database Error". :sad:

I too, have to use the "Forum Jump" at the bottom to navigate through the sub-forums.

I hope this issue is rectified soon though.

Can't login with opera 11 and chrome 8.0.552

Opera gives database error, chrome does not accept password and goes back in the enter password page(as if no password was entered).

Firefox works fine though, something is wrong, please look into it.

Hi guys
I am having problems Viewing the "Forum Index" due to the dreaded "Database Errors"
I see many of you have already put to use the "Thread Jump" method to circumvent the problem

But then i noticed if i logged out of the forum and cleared the cookies
i can navigate the forum at ease, albeit with limited privileges
Is this some sort of "Cookie Problem"?

sourav you use opera.? i use it. will try some other now. but operamini also gives the same error!

no luck with IE8 :-(

Jaskanwar Singh said:

I am using Chrome and Firefox(sandboxed)

Firefox is reporting less errors,
but errors nonetheless

I am also facing the "The Login Loop" problem faced by Tkin but strangely only in Chrome
I had to disable the LastPass Login as that is incompatible with this forum's login

Just clear everything - including cookies, history etc. It fixed the problem for me.

Hi ICO,
I am noticing that my posts counts is not increasing. Its 36 below avatar. But when I look for my posts page, there are atleast 50 of them!
Would u pls, explain, if thats a bug, or is there something I dont know!

If you post in the Community Discussions section, they don't get counted.

daily getting "Database Error".... more than 5 times a day

ico said:

Umm.

Ok.

That must be for a reason. Thanks.

The TDF link- *www.thinkdigit.com/forum is NOT working for more than last 72 hours...but if I login from any other page's direct link I can post without any problem....the main forum page JUST DOESNOT work

Screen Shot-

*img132.imageshack.us/img132/8847/errorqg.th.jpg

yea, it doesn't. Finally realized that.

^ But we can easily post using direct links of topics, sub threads , etc

ico clearing cookies and history didnt fix the prob. actually it opens when you are not logged in. but shows database errors after you log in!!

Digit needs to move over to unlimited bandwidth hosting plan? Forum link still dead.

Jaskanwar Singh said:

yea. That is a different problem.

1 more thing..I have to login 2-3 times then manually enter User cp link to be logged in or else I am greeted by same 'you may require to login'

p.s- i normally post from my mobile using opera mini but face no problem but when I use desktop net in Chrome(10), Firefox(3.5,4.0 b2) face the mentioned problem.

online after 2 days of non stop database error. Chrome 10 Beta as well as Operamini 4.2. nothing works. hope the problem is solved.

^^ No the prob is still there - after login I'm getting DB error
" MySQL server has gone away "

even after trying 8-10 times with opera I gave up - used FF and voila - the prob is no longer there. Went into user cp and copy and pasted the links of thread into opera.

I want to use opera only as before - so fix this issue asps ( I request only ) .

as i don't log out so only way that works for me is to enter a subsection directly from history, if i haven't ran Ccleaner.

& i face same problem in chrome. haven't used opera but don't mind using it if problems are fixed for opera (opera mini too. please).

If you are opening this after logging in: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/

You will get a MySQL error.

^^why is it so?

Now it's 3 straight days the forum home page is down.

All, please read the announcements put up by Ico and I. People are working on this. You cannot log into the main index page. Just google your handle id+digit forum (ex: asingh+digit forum), and hit the first link. That should get you to a thread, from there you can navigate where ever you want to go BUT the core index page. So post away.

We will inform you once this bug is rectified.

^^ Theres' one more trick :

after logging in when you get db error hust put this on the address bar and hit enter

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/usercp.php

I'm using this method.

^^
Great. Updating the announcements. Thanks.

The forum home page is back working

yep, it's working like a charm and I can feel a little bit of speed improvement as well.

most of problems have been fixed.

I've actually done nothing. Lol.

Site is too slow.

yup..sites slow..takes us loads of time to move from topic to another and also to post quick replies it takes time.

But its OK atleast main problem is solved..
What caused it?

No some times problem will occur .They have to change lot thing in forum as you can see there is limitation in signature.

^^ signature limitation is ok. i have visited forum where its really difficult to part the post from their signature. half of the screen is filled with some *BLING* *BLING* signature & lots of links, pics, etc.

^^ signature limitation is ok. i have visited forum where its really difficult to part the post from their signature. half of the screen is filled with some *BLING* *BLING* signature & lots of links, pics, etc.

and yes, efforts now should be to improve the loading time.

Yeah,but the limit is a bit too small, in other forums I could atleast put some color on the fonts(which I can't here as formatting also counts against the limit), did they fix the image bug? Are images allowed?

i don't think images are allowed. but yes, at least colour font should b allowed.

I can do nothing about site's loading time etc. cuz I don't work for Digit. We need a faster server OR we should use nginx/lightppd instead of hog Apache.

well, a lot of spammers register in our forum compared to other forums and the first thing they do is, edit their signature and put a hyperlink. We need to disable that. And to disable it, we have to disable BB code in the signature which also takes away other features. Sorry, but signatures will remain the way the are.

There is no such problem. I've verified from my dummy account.

Session timeout if you don't check 'Remember me' is 30 minutes btw.

Ok, Thanks

I think Opera Mini might be causing it.

Still,thanks for reply

^^ will check from opera mini soon. & if i face same problem, will report here. but i came online at around 9am in mng & was not facing any problem.

Should we get a mobile theme? I wonder how many people browse from phones?

@raaabo
its a real necessecity. :-(

i browse from both pc and mobile though. :-D

Raaabo said:

Would be nice, seriously.

ico? What do you think?

yes, we need a mobile theme.

Is there any way of forcing it on anyone who browses using a mobile? Because if there isn't, we'll have to give the option of atleast choosing the mobile style. And this is broken like I told earlier.

Mobile Style Options 3.8 - vBulletin.org Forum - this will add a separate link to choose the mobile style, so we can get away with it.

I'm still having database errors. Any idea why ?

the forum links in side panel of thinkdigit web do not work. every time i click them i have to remove page_link from url and then press enter.

pauldmps said:

Me to and slow also.

No one has experienced database errors out of the people whom I know personally. If you experienced it, then just clear out the cookies. You might have been logged in since looooong.

Regarding the server being slow, it is definitely NOT now. Blame your ISP for that.

^^ Actually database error happens few times and believe me my ISP is awesome i can't blame them. here is my speed *www.speedtest.net/result/1167803944.png :-D

No database error for me since we have shifted. And infact I have run many intensive queries. I repeat, NONE. You can still blame your ISP there if you aren't getting decent speed on this website.

I have not even received one data base error since the new build. Try to clear all cache/cookies, and log off the portal once. Currently traveling to office and using a modem net connection. Smooth.

I am automaticaly getting unsubscribed to threads. Or the nEw posts dont show thread as highlighted.

thetechfreak said:

No such problem for me while using a desktop browser. When you use Opera Mini, you expect these glitches as the data is being tunneled through Opera's servers.

NIGHTMARE said:

no DB error. no slow TDF Forum. the forum homepage opens in less than 8sec on mobile & around 10sec on PC (using GRPS that 100 times slower than your BB). its a problem with your PC browser. try from your iphone if you still have it.

easiest way to get DB error. try to post the content in this post:

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/pc-compon...ing-guide-february-2011-a-22.html#post1337160

Workaround: Do a one liner post, then edit and append all the links to the post

Well last few days I wasn't able to access TDF (on BSNL broadband) and today I thought there's something wrong. I tried proxyip and it opened! So, after being a regular member after so many years, TDF suddenly becomes inaccessible to me? Well i also see the new sign "we are shifted to new server". Could this be the issue? Can it be solved? I'd really like to be able to access this forum without proxy.

You dial from your computer or your modem automatically connects you when you switch it on? Because you have to change your DNS servers accordingly.

If you use Bridge mode i.e. you dial from your computer ---> change in your connection properties.

If your modem connects you automatically ---> change from the modem's settings page *192.168.1.1/

^^ Did it in a modem setting page. Doesnt work.

Actually when I had BSNL Unlimited 950 plan, all the sites used to open. When I shifted to Combo 1350 Unlimited plan, selected sites started giving problems. Now TDF is not opening after new server.

Categories have been defined for avoiding this problem only and not get everything cluttered. Have patience, take your time and decide which category suits the best for the thread you want to create.

You may refer to the Category captions before posting, which will help you to decide.

sygeek said:

^^ I think there is some criteria you need to fulfill before you can add your Avatar. Like minimum number of posts count.
When you qualify the criteria, you can find the settings for avatar, by:
Clicking "UserCP". Clicking "Edit Avatar" under "Settings & Options".

Edit2: @ico : Looks like I need to get used to the site (and should have read the rules more carefully)

New members can't change avatars and add signatures. They need to first get into the group of Authorised Members. (10 posts and 4 days)

If you'll be more active, advertisements will be disabled. Lastly, we have too many sections actually to avoid confusion + cramping up of things.

was trying to open the forum's homepage. opened on next try.

It is working fine now. I also experienced it.

yup. now looks fine. no more error.

Ok, got one more. Don't know from few days I'm noticing that, even read threads appear as bold sometimes without any recent changes / posts.

Please look into it.

Something is reaaaaly wrong with the forum, try opening a thread from usercp, its logging me out and instead of opening last page it opens a random page, can't edit post, can't quick reply, logging in when inside a thread does not log in.

Something IS fishy! ^^ Same problem!

Yup, guys take a look here : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/feedback/1656-feedback-thinkdigit-com-web-site-18.html

No quick reply...and even it logged me out and even after login in it did not show me logged on even after refreshing it, it did not until going to different pages...

So I'm not the only one with this issue. I tried different browsers and the same issue persists. Looks like some sort of bug. I can't even edit my posts.

yea, I'm sorry I can't fix it. Before I slept it was fine.

I've informed Raaabo about this.

Posting works but cant PM anyone. Login request goes on in an infinite loop.

Quick Reply has gone

why waste time logging in? simply use the "Post Reply" button. saves time then logging in every next page.

just when TDF at its best, an annoying bug appears :evil:

Well, the problem is fixed now.

Everything is working perfectly fine.

There is an issue in seeing visitor messages.

Whenever I try to see them, I am asked to login.I login but then it seems the page is only "reloaded".It gets stuck in that login page.

im using Aurora channel of firefox.

Also, what happened to edit,quick reply etc?

the problem is still not solved
members are still being treated as guests in all threads

Why am I getting logged of when I open multiple threads..?

Sorry I have created a separate thread for this, but the problem still persists as it is.

Those of you who want to edit post can try this URL -
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/editpost.php?p=POSTNUMBER&do=editpost
^replace postnumber with the actual post number. For example this post's number is "1407242".

If you don't know the post number, you can find it out in the url of the #Postcount.

Well, I don't know, but everything is working fine for me. No problem while trying to see visitor messages, PM's, opening multiple thread. Everything is working as before.

And regarding the forum problem, it is still there, no difference.

Please fix the problem mods and Admin.

Whenever I try logging in, it worked fine. But when I move over to some thread, the login box again appears, but I'm able to reply to threads. But again when I click on some member's avatar to see his/her profile, it redirects me to login page..
It has been happening since yesterday on both Chrome as well as Firefox (latest versions).

^ Ya ther's some problem today i think

Cookies problem ? Getting logged out after log in. Have to clear cookies to login back.

^^ yea, I thought that but isn't the case.

It isn't even a vBulletin problem. I guess the hosting people have fiddled around with server settings.

You must be posting lots of links in the post, and being a relatively new member, TDF is having precautions!

Bear it for some time. This is not a "Bug", and won't last long.

Well I clicked on the thread link from peripheral forum:

I have not attached any "print" anywhere on my own.

yup. That's due to mod_rewrite. The word 'print' at the end was causing this.

I've changed the thread's name to 'Print, Scan and Copy.' This problem is solved.

clicked who?

I clicked gameranand in my visitors message.

it's working fine??

Yes Working .....

Sorry to disturb , but it happened two time before this , so i reported here.

no problem.

Not a bug as such, but needed a few clarifications on Tapatalk plugin.

1) Why is it that tdf doesn't allow to upload pics to Tapatalk server instead of tdf server which has a 3 image limit per post.

2) Not a problem as such, but are Tapatalk signatures disabled in tdf?

Ok i got a problem... I have lost my UID and PWD for this forum.
Can anyone help me out? As far as i remember, i registered here by connecting through my facebook account, but i cant find the option to log in using facebook now. The registered email here is something strange.. its showing as <some numbers>@www.thinkdigit.com.
Please help me. I need to format this system, and then i will not be able to log in using my current profile.

Well, looks you can easily get your UID, at the top right see Welcome <your UID>. And for password, you can go to Show Password option on your browser.

And you are right your e-mail is 02047381787949624352@www.thinkdigit.com, don't know how can it be possible. As far I remember there was never any option for Log In Using Facebook here in TDF.

Let Admins put more light in this.

I can't fix Tapatalk related problems because Tapatalk related options aren't available in the vBulletin admincp. That's the only thing I have access to.

However, I have increased the 3 attachment limit per post to 10.

Also, JPEG size limit increased to 200 kB and resolution to 1600x1200 from 100 kB and 1024x768 respectively.

Thanks Ico

finally able to post. was posting links. maybe that was generating the error.

yup..the URL title parser creates problems.

Yup..That's right. Try posting no more than 3 URL at once. Post 3 URL at once if URL > 3, then edit the post and repeat the same

I do it like that only

i posted only 2 URL. so is the 3 URL limit a measure to counter spam?

No...there is no such limit.

If the other website takes time to parse the URL title to the plugin...there is an error. It depends on them.

I have posted like 10 links and all URL title have been parsed successfully.

I usually create 15+ URLs for articles and I get no problems, there is no such delay or any kind of database error.

@ico, have posted more than 3+ links on some occasions with no error. anyway thanks for the info :smile:

Well, yeah, it happens sometimes, not all the time.

Bug in Tapatalk. Any way to make admins take notice?

Posts made one after the other donor automerge, cluttering threads.

^^ That is a downpoint of Tapatalk.

No way admins can fix it then?
Or should I report it to Tapatalk makers and ask them for a feature.

When you use the forum on the desktop, you are using the forum scripts to post which always send automerge request to the plugin.

When you use Tapatalk, you are posting through the Tapatalk scripts which don't send any request of automerge.

Forums use various Automerge plugins. Some rely on the default vBulletin feature, some use any one of the numerous plugins available. You can't comply with every one of them. So, I doubt the Tapatalk dev will be able to fix it.

Looks like I am going to have to live with it. Any chance reps can be enabled here?

Infected by Virus from TDF.

What actually happened:
I was browsing on TDF. And I encountered this warning page, when I tried to open LOL PICS thread.

*i.imgur.com/bET4i.jpg

What I did:
I did what most of people do. Ignore the warning, and continued browsing. Soon strange things started to happen.
First Internet Explorer tried to open. But I closed it down.
Second, Chromium got shutdown. I felt suspicious.
Next, I checked that the Task Manager got disabled, which was a perfect sign that a malware had infected my system.

I immediately disconnected from net. Stated PC in Safe Mode. Installed Avira Free Antivirus. Did a quick scan. Quarantined the 14 infections which were detected, of malware named, TR/Spy.Web.H and JAVA/Exdoer.ED. And restarted PC in normal mode.

Now Task Manager is enabled, and PC seems back to normal.

I tried to visit that LOL thread again, and encountered same warning (posted above). This time, I think it's safe NOT to overlook the warning.

PS: I thought to create a thread titled, "VIRUS FOUND from TDF!!!!!!

NooOooooo". But stopped my temptation, since it seemed too drastic.

No problem for me so far. Browser is FF 8.0.

Check again, your PC may already be infected!
But not if, you are on Linux.

I'm surprised, since I thought Chromium and variant browser worked on sandbox model. So couldn't infect PC. But guessing I was wrong. Big time.

Start using Ubuntu.

Some member posted some pic from that site.

until afternoon all was good but I checked now and ..

@climbx
no mate. You mean posters name gone missing or complete text? If complete text then i donot see it

for name it depends whether you have entered or not when copying manually.

now this looks fishy.. Is it happening for me or what?

Image is too big so posting link..check that image to see what I am getting on my page

*i42.tinypic.com/4h9no6.png

^ hmm, not a problem with me. Tried in every browser I know.

hmm problem solved.. was a browser prob..

^^ Yes, that is a browser broblem. I was getting a lot of this in my Chromium browser.
With the current version, (17.0.954.0 (Developer Build 111694)), it seems it has gone.

Why isn't there a reply button in the visitor message, in order to reply to a visitor message, visiting the member's profile and posting from there is too tedious.

@mods, is there any infraction system for the ones who violate forum rules ??

@CA50, Check the "View Conversation" link on the right hand side of each message. Just click that and you'll be redirected to conversation page where you can reply.

Yes we have infraction system.

^ thanks mate.

Can you explain how the infraction system works here?
Lately i have seen number of post which violates forum rules in some way or the other, i think infraction can be used to control this.

Just a suggestion

J

dont know why you are much conerned. infractions are between the member and the moderator. moderators infract when it is necessary.

from what i have seen...moderators over here infract you but dont infract left-right-and-center which is seen in other lame forums out there. usually you'll get a holiday for few days. i have received many.

my job is to report which i do properly. action is in the hands of moderators. they know better than us.

i dont report much but whenever i have reported..my reports have been addressed fine if my report is fine.

Mods on this forum are better than most forums and guess what? People like me who dont use facebook and use forums as it are sent on vacation very regularly. Moderators monitor the forum a lot more you can imagine.

^^ Lol yeah. TDF is like a mine field, now a days. One wrong step (word) and KA-BOOM! You will be blown into pieces....

Just J/k.

Moderators over here and fair and just. They'll take the necessary action when needed.

J

yup...i agree with thetechfreak. mods might not infract you for every little thing. they notice you...they will warn you in the lines, might infract you too and one fine day you will get a limited period ban.

i have got many bans but only 1 infraction.

@thetechfreak, @vineet369 and @Joker,

Guys this is a forum and i guess i have the right to post any kind off feedback, be it positive or negative. Now that infraction method is my idea, i felt it that way, so i post it over here.

I am not forcing anyone to implement it or such, such posting my views.

Peace

J

no probs.

No probs. Me too. :meditate:

This is democracy after all.

Is these kinda of stuff intended ?? or it something wrong here??

This was the post I was trying to post. But I don't know why there was error posting. Even after edited your test post and the new one I posted, I couldn't post this. I tried several times. Finally, I posted line by line... Can you please tell what's wrong in this post? or What should I avoid?

The thing is I quoted that post here in this thread, the same error again. I think there is something wrong in the content of the message.

Hi. Is there a way to hide Post Counts (below my Avatar) temporarily? I would just like to hide mine for the time being. (Which means I want to hide my post count from me itself. Don't mind letting it see to others, or letting other post counts to be seen by me).

Strange request I know. But can it be fulfilled?

Not possible.

Never mind then...

Is this new theme for TDF, or did I accidentally changed a setting?

*i.imgur.com/ivRtj.jpg

Its new theme... I also got it...

Hold your Hippogriffs. I think ico is working on a new theme.

theme looks cool though..

Whosoever is working, please include the new threads list at the bottom of page...!
It was really helpful...

pramudit said:

yup. Later. This is a work in progress.

Probably testing, the bottom section for thinkdigit links is entirely missing.

This one looks like the good old Kirsch theme.

Also, I have a problem with the icon which signifies new posts. It's hard to differentiate between the current read/unread icons.

Previously, it was blue and orange.

@ico: Why this secrecy secrecy secrecy di?

(I mean, no accepting PM's, hiding online status etc..)

(PS: Really hoping for a dark or darker theme.)

@Sygeek: As the mods/admins told, "Work is IN progress..." sheesh

This new theme taking less kb on mobile and works more fluently :thumbs:

Btw the new moderator list is cool...
I finally got to know what does these different color means...

Guys, keep this only for reporting bugs, discuss about new theme *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/151695-our-forum-now-has-new-look.html

NOTE : Our Admin is testing the new theme and it's Work In Progress.

just want to report that new theme works better with kaspersky internet security http scan in comparison to the present theme.on my intel atom setup cpu usage jumps to 100% while loading forum pages when logged in using present theme but with new theme there is no such issue.

Great, Then!

We don't want someone using IE on this forum. :lol:

^^ Still there are same people who uses IE.
P.S. rapid changing of themes is disturbing. Better option is to take this forum offline & make the changes and then bring it back online.

v6b is better for those who only visits forum. And for others v6a.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/rules-announcements/151724-site-updates-database-errors.html

Hello,

The main site (not the forum) is going under an overhaul. The database errors are due to that.

Also, due to some circumstances, the database of the forum has been reverted to the state it was in @ 7 pm IST - 23 Jan 2012.

So, if you are wondering where your posts have gone, there is the answer. ^^

with regards,
ico.

Are the red colors part of the theme? Every links and username are RED!

And I am facing Database error whenever I click any thread from UserCP. Clicking threads from Index page works though. And after I post any post, it also greets me with a D/B error, while the post does post successfully.

new posts keeps throwing database error

*i.imgur.com/dqr1N.png

Any thread which has x unread posts, clicking on it first will bring a database error. Clicking on it subsequently brings the last page

Also, using quick reply results in post getting submitted, and then posssibly double posted since this error gets thrown:

This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between posts. Please try again in 28 seconds.

G

the theme is awful...n db errors...is there not another server to verify your changes then go live

Please revert back to good old TDF. The Red color is seriously irritating.

MY EYES!!! MY EYES!!! Spare the red!!!!

shall be fixed now. I was sleeping.

It was problem with some plugin. It was behaving weirdly due to some reason.

Sorry for the invconvenience caused.

Ok. The Database errors have stopped now. thats a good thing. I was getting DB errors at each and every page. good its fixed

Can see a sliding feedback on the right hand side. Nice.

G

the forum is slow again...open a thread in subscription page , it takes more than 10 secs to render

^ But I haven't faced any problem regarding slowness, even in the subscription page. :unsure:

Nope. I am not facing any such problem. Clear your cache and get a faster dns like 4.2.2.1 to see if it helps :wink:

Re: ThinkDigit Reloaded 2012, requesting feedback on the new website

i have one suggestion for Bazaar Section.
The seller mentions the warranty as like 2 years remaining, so it should be made mandatory to mention with the month-year the warranty ends because sometimes the thread old and edited too. It also gives good idea to the buyer.

Instead of
Warranty Remaining : 1 Years Remaining

Warranty Remaining : 1 Years Remaining (Ends February 2013)

I hope rules will be updated..

Ohk, so it's not a bug... Its coz the page is optimized for wide screen...?

Speaking of "wide screen" I think the wide nature of monitors can really be put to good use now! I really liked the "Latest Threads" column on Index Page!

Thanks to the one who is 'responsible' who listened to the user. (Most prolly ico?).

It would have been great if the column was in UserCP instead of the index page, since most of the member goes to UserCP in majority of the cases. (Like, I have the shortcut directly to UserCP).
But nevertheless it was a feature which needed from long!

Possible, but don't want to dig deeper into templates. This is fine for the time being.

We now have a mobile style.

Thanks ico, its pretty cool considering you didn't use a template. Forum loads extremely fast now

Although the texts are a little crowded making it difficult to differentiate between other options.

Edit: Mobile theme doesn't seem to support the usercp, is this a bug?

Go to User CP and click on "Subscribed Threads"..

This is a work in progress. I was working on my own mobile style but realised it is going to take way too long. So got someone else's style and modified it highly.

I don't know if you used the mobile theme or not. Mobile theme _does not_ have the Feedback button.

TDF v6b doesn't have it either.

Sorry, I meant for guests on mobile in Opera Mini, the feedback button is squat in the middle of the page.

Guests should register and sign in.

I'm not behind the Feedback button, so I won't touch it.

Alright. Well it certainly looks odd on Opera Mini.

I don't know if you guys have been facing a similar problem, but everytime I post, I get a message 'Posted via Mobile device' appended to all my posts. Even though I am using FF 10.

Edit: I am posting this from my office computer with FF9, and such a message does not appear. Only appears on my home machine.

If you are not posting from some mobile device, then it really is a very peculiar problem!
Try using other browser (Opera) at your home. And then reinstalling FF.

Take a look at the user agent string of your mozilla.

Don't have Opera and not feeling like downloading and installing it at this time. Trying in IE (duh!)

First go here and see your user agent, then report, if it says something like mobile device then you need to change it.
Whats My User Agent?

Right now I am googling to find out how to change it, I'll report back asap.

ok. do this. But here is a warning....this will remove all your Firefox bookmarks and settings.

Go to Start --> Run...

firefox.exe --profilemanager

Delete the default profile and create a new profile.

Try Private Browsing first?

You need to update the .net api in your system ASAP to resolve this issue.

Solution is given here : ScientiaMobile • View topic - Firefox 10 detected as mobile device

when I click the social group tab I get this its at usercp

thetechfreak, you do not have permission
to access this page. This could be due to
one of several reasons:
1. Your user account may not have sufficient
privileges to access this page. Are you
trying to edit someone else's post, access
administrative features or some other
privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator
may have disabled your account, or it may
be awaiting activation.

Re: ThinkDigit Reloaded 2012, requesting feedback on the new website

Use v6b theme.

I have a request to admin, I hate the V6a theme, so I change it to V6b, but it resets at next login, so either fix it to my profile or make V6b default.

Isn't V6b Default .. I believe you are changing theme from the option which is on homepage instead you change it from ucercp and keep it as default user theme..

while using firefox/chrome the whole page is filled with same post by sarath "content" posted on same date/time!

thats not a bug.... Sarath created these posts so that he can use them later to expand the details....

Ah yes, I realised the aesthetic problems caused by them and have since deleted them, even before you posted. They shouldn't bother you now.

As far as your query is concerned, it is no bug, I did it voluntarily.

Its cleaned up now

BTW a few threads still remain and will complete cleaning them when time permits.

ok. got it. didnt knew about the expansion thing. otherwise no confusion would have crept in.

@Sarath

You can always "copy" as many posts as you want at later time too.

Copy the post to the same thread. And it gets inserted right after.

So, no need of "avoid replying in this thread" warning.

Lol

I was not a MOD when I made the "avoid posting in this thread" post every 24hrs
After I was bestowed with powers I didn't edit that post but copied it exponentially. Hence it looks so vague

Now I can copy + lock
But even that is not needed now

I was not with that luxury before

BTW for the record, I've deleted the unnecessary clutter I had created in every thread of mine

Peace :beer:

Searching a thread from thread tools throws database error

Kinda disappointed with this new form of TDF.

Once, old and regular members did not get adverts, but now it seems that the forum has become advert haven with even pop-up adverts. Most of them are sham adverts too.

Ad-block plus et al?

It is more of an expectation thing...

My point wasn't that there is no solution to this. My point was that I did not quite expect this to happen in the first place. The background ads are fine. Pop-ups (that too turd and potentially unsafe ones like "spot the differences") are not.

So after going thro TDF 'old' member's thread, I was proud that I have been regular here since 2004. And then I saw my number of posts which are just 300something and i was like wtf! So what I post mostly in movie thread? Don't the posts in chit-chat forum count?

Posts in the Chit-Chat section are not counted.

If they were counted, I'd have 20K posts. lol.

well, I don't know. They aren't counted since years, may be because this is a technology forum. Doesn't make any difference if they are counted or not counted.

I'd actually prefer if post counts is hidden from the postbit.

This is a technology forum, so only relevant posts that add the purpose of the forum count.

I would actually prefer post count to be turned off on the show-off section too.

In Show-off section, you can post your rig pictures and other technology related stuff. So that's OK I think.

Posts are not counted in show off. One Guy posts a purchase. Then 200 people will go Congrats Congrats damages blah blah. And the Guy will be like thanks thanks blah blah. No need for post count.

Skud said:

One day what a guy did, he posted his purchase of a pressure cooker with pics etc

the next guy congratulated him

then the cooker buyer thanked him

another guy posted and asked himto enjoy pulao

and so on.....

there are quite a few members who only post on “post your latest purchase“

I think you can catch my drift :wink:

^^ So ain't it indirectly discouraging the use of pressure cooking technology on a technology forum?

Post count's got nothing to do with encouragement/discouragement.

Certainly not the kind of pop-ups I want to see in TDF.

Even Some Ads Open In New Tab. Please don't use ads like this, they sucks.

A forum bug. Whenever I post through mobile theme my forum signature doesnt come. Why so?

Its not a bug. Signatures waste space.

no. I meant that my siggy doesnt comes. meant to say that if I posted via desktop theme siggy comes. but via mobile its not.posted. as if.my siggy is empty.

i didnt mean about viewing siggy. just said siggy isnt posted for people.viewing from desktop.

why don't you guys use adblock which is available for all good browsers. I don't even see a single Ad, I did not even knew there were ads, some time ago I saw noob complaining about ads then I knew their are ads for new users, and today It looks like there are ads for every user but I have not seen them even once, I did not even knew about it

Oh god people don't even read the forums. Use v6b for god sake.

Same here buddy. I was even't aware of ads as I had adblock installed. I got to know about it when I format & made a re-install of the os.

Why don't you remove post Count too?

If you are asking this question you clearly don't know how a "community" work. We are here to help each other, to discuss about stuff, to find out solutions to problems together and to collaborate in making the ultimate guides which have the potential to provide light to those who are trapped in the darkness of confusion.
I may have gone a little poetic here but I have made my point.

And btw if you are wondering why post count can't be disabled, then it's because post count acts just as a subtle reminder of the experience of a poster. It's there so that you get a fair idea of it.

Also, no one can ask somebody to "give" them post count. Therefore it doesn't lead to posts like it does for asking about reps and all.
Hope this provides "some" light to you!

@Raboo, ico:
How about welcoming different dealers in TDF by opening a new sub-forum for dealers, and possibly by making new userclass?
Dealers should be responsible for the deals, TDF will just act as a medium.
Then, may be all the users here can get some exclusive deal. And the min point you guys should note that many new users join everyday and make PC suggestion thread. If they can get any part cheaper than the usual market price from those dealers, it would be awesome.

@other members: Share your opinion about my idea.

Oh Really? No-one can ask. Because there's no need to ask at all. You cannot deny the urge everyone has to have more Post Count. As a result, Post Count leads to more spam than Reputation system does comparatively.

If some idiots are asking for reps. It's there problem & they should be treated likewise. Why to disable the entire system because of a couple of people?

It's discussed a lot of times before. Just browse the last few pages.

And I am afraid this forum is against the Like button. We just don't require them.

Thank You button is something which I like.

We'll look into implementing it after we move to vB 4.2. yes, we are bothered about block of texts.

That Amazon thread was deleted because we aren't going to promote "faking" up your address.

Hacks and Jailbreaking section is no more. All threads have been moved to Chit-Chat.

Guys, when are we going to move vBulletin 4.2? Also I would also request a theme change. This theme is getting very old now.

Hd 6850

You see, I typed 'HD 6850' but its 'Hd 6850' in the post. Sometimes it becomes 'hd 6850'. Why is this so?

^capslock fix. Some people type with caps on so....

Post this:

Code:

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TYPE HD 6850. DID YOU SEE THAT?

When will everyone able to change or put avatar in TDF?

This is what happens when you type hd 6850. Did y

WTH is this. I just copied and pasted it here. How did the upper case alphabets become lower case?

Its not a problem, its a feature.

What feature?
When I want my text should be in upper case, i cant, so what's the use of having such a feature.

paroh tkin reniarahim1 eagle6 and funskar has also reported this

1 solution is - use the v6b theme instead of v6a for now.

y has the width reduced...??Facing the same problem..,,

Same here, width is ridiculous.

Everyone -

Click here -- scroll down and change Forum Skin to - TDF v6b and save the changes.

And yes, this is ridiculous but there is nothing that I can do. I'm not the one who did this.

That can be done on any page

Scroll down on this page and select it

Nipun said:

yes. But if you will log out and log back in... you'll be back to TDF v6a.

Until you *save* like I told you. :mrgreen:

If you will *save* by following my instructions, everytime you log in from anywhere, you get TDF v6b.

and make sure you use adblock plus

Thanks.. I went nuts when I saw the new width..

I guess every registered forum member who is NOT on TDF v6b should be getting a message on the top of every page telling him to change the forum skin.

This should be fine.

change the width quick i like v6a.With that recent thread bar on side

thanks ico..it worked...thanks again...

Same Here Changed to TDF v6b

but i want to have latest thread :hissyfit:

avinandan012 said:

Middle Click New Posts on top.

You won't have the sidebar in TDF v6b.

Is there some issue with the Avatar stuff for new users ?

^ it is for everyone at the moment. Even I can't change it. We'll fix it soon. Don't worry.

The submit reply button in mobile theme is too close to the logout link...

V

I can't see the "add reputation" button in any of the posts.
Is it only me or the feature has been disabled?

^Disabled.

Who did this ? :-D

Digit.

Is it just me, or the reputation button has gone missing?(I am pretty sure it used to be there)

aaruni said:

will never happen.

the no avatar thing needs to be taken care of. I badly need to set one.

@Serpent thats a disgusting idea

at least enable smilies in siggy.

Could we have a facility to mark threads as solved? It helps in sifting through solutions while searching.
Different forums do it differently. Some have a "Accept as solution" link to a particular post, some allow the original poster to mark the thread solved and many allow and request the poster to add SOLVED to the original thread title.

A MUCH needed feature. +1

And when the problem is marked solved, thread gets automatically locked.

^Locking is not a good idea to be fair. May be some one has got a better suggestion.

fix avatar upload and other pix upload easy

I don't think it will fine soon, its over couple of months.. still same the issue.

^Wait for upgradation of vB, and all issues will disappear.

PS: Everything is not in our hand.

report any post of that thread and we'll (mods) add the [SOLVE] tag to the thread.

How much we have to wait for vB upgarde?

@sam: doesn't report mean that the post is bad, or against the rules,etc?

aaruni said:

No.

You can use it for anything. Even for things like moving threads, thread title change etc.

T

But when I report a post, it says, "it is for reporting spam..........."

I've edited the report form text there. I hope it is more clear now.

the_conqueror said:

They were enabled but then disabled as we were getting reports.

Here's the reason why:

intel i5-2500k |asus p8z68 deluxe|hd 6950|corsair ax850

that's nothing actually.

but still the ability for the OP himself to mark thread as solved is good.

So, the forums have been updated. Good.

Now to the question:
Is there an equivalent for the earlier UCP view? There I could see on a single page all those threads in which I have participated and have any updates only.
-SS.

^Settings = UserCP.

or *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/usercp.php (same as above, but a direct link

)

@ico, a bit darker theme maybe. Its too bright.

How about you down 1 or 2 shades darker for this same color?

Consider discussing the same here for the New Version : *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/feedback/161164-tdf-upgraded-post-bugs-here-please.html

I don't have a suggestion but need one, how do I get back Digit's old look? I frankly can't stand this new look!

There is no ICON with different color to notify unread post like before.

Check Out TDF v6.5 Theme.

The forum should have that sidebar like the old vbulletin that tells the latest updated thread.We all are kinda used to that? I guess.At least i Am

Scroll down to change Skin. Or *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions <-- change here and save permanently.

CLosing this thread. Use the other one.

Nice upgrade.
