Ok, now that I got that out of my system, the old forums are pretty screwed up. Any thoughts on what caused the breakage? |

I think there should be smilies on the forum, even though it is still under construction, smilies would be nice. |

It seems to be caused by incorrect content-type headers but they're all in the script just like they used to be. Loading a backup file of when it used to work fine, produced same result so I'm not really sure what's to blame but it doesn't seem to be forum related, more like some other server related or perhaps apache thing? I'm yet to contact our host, whenever I have time it's too late to chat with them but if someone else can perhaps inquire them about any recent updated they may have deployed it'd be nice.

Just a thought. |

Just tryin to toss ideas out that might help...

 Posted: 14 Feb 2006 20:02 GMT Total Posts: 2486 | Well, I spoke to the host and they said they did not updated anything. They said last updated was just a php update and even that was like january 29 or so. As with our problem they couldn't suggest anything and pointed me to error logs which as I've already checked did not reveal anything CG related but rather some sql errors from the design.cg.org code. Basically, we still don't know what causes the problem but it could be something to do with baking cookies since other scripts seems to be able to read off the user (if you were logged in) or at the least already stored cookie on the computer but this is at least something. I'm just terribly busy atm and unfortunately don't have any time to look into the problem any firther till weekend, if you Allyn can please take a look and see what you can do. that's be very nice. Thanks.

 Posted: 18 Feb 2006 09:05 GMT Total Posts: 2007 | Probably because the old one actually worked and they (by they I mean Nikky and Z) don't know why it got borked. |

 Posted: 18 Feb 2006 14:40 GMT Total Posts: 2486 | Yes lunchbox, you've got it right. Also, the whole site framework was built around it and none of us have the time to just get it all recoded all of a sudden. But again, we don't know why it broke down since none of us actually edited anything and host claimed that they didn't update anything either. So atm we're still puzzled and are looking for what might have caused it to just die out like that.

Actually, the front forum page needs a major facelift. :P

 Posted: 23 Feb 2006 21:58 GMT Total Posts: 2486 | I'll try to find some time this weekend to poke around the scripts a bit. Meanwhile, I'll probably take off the forum link from CG main site and replace it temporarily with link to here. I should have done it the first thing but never really had a chance to really sit and do it.

Whenever you login, you have to refresh the forum page to get it to recognize that, and, also, it doesn't automatically mark the forums as read when you logout then log back in. |

 Posted: 26 Feb 2006 16:16 GMT Total Posts: 1892 | I've been looking over the code and turned on server side error messages, but that hasn't helped any. We're getting errors from tzlib, tzlogin, and tzstripped, different scripts that do the same thing. I literally have no idea what the problem is, nothing we changed could have done this, not of this magnitude. |
