GREAT IDEA STEVE-O!!! I am officially reporting in to say that I am not recieving ANY emails from the forum host. I used to get them by the bucketloads alerting me that someone had posted (so I'd know where to check) or sent a PM. Some on here have said that they are getting sporadic emails, but I have not recieved any in the past week. |

Hi, Macca. I have been online daily and reading other postings. I primarily look for current postings of interest, and may respond to one that grabs my attention.  |

Ok Blue Dev. I deleted my cookies just like you recommended. When I did that I was automatically logged out of the forum. I didn't think of that before, but I never log out of the forum. It's set as my homepage so when I sign online the forum comes up and I'm logged on. Once I remembered my password Just waiting for someone to post something now....... Cross your fingers..... THANKS!!!!!!! |

I am getting emails for the other threads but not MAAN. I cleaned out cookies and files on IE which immediately lost my log in so then I had to search for my password. I am back now. Hope I didn't lose my scuba equipment. |

Well shoot. It seems to me that it must be a problem on my end if others are getting some emails. However, that wouldn't explain Jane's mysteriously missing MAAN emails though..... BTW Scuba Jane is bubbling along Jane! |

I haven't gotten any e-mails about postings in the past couple of days.... I was getting them on all forums I'd ever posted on (which was most) then only sporadically about postings on MAAN, now none at all.... It was an easy way to access the forums, because I would click on one of the e-mails to take me to the forums, then cruise the rest! Of course, now that I don't have my direct link to the forums, it doesn't matter about the e-mails, because I can't just click on them anyway. FYI -- I can still access the internet via my "old" way of accessing the forums and I can access the NW Observer web site, I justs can't get to the forums.... I get an error message about being unable to open that page.... I can survive without the e-mails; I had just gotten used to having them as a notice about the new postings.... ❤❤❤ |

I am aware that the performance of the message board is very slow. It started last night and continues today. I've reported it to the hosting service as I have done before. Not too happy with those guys right now. You expect an occasional glitch but this is too frequent. I'll stay after them. Thanks for your patience. BluDev Last edited on Mar 26th, 2006 12:07 pm by |

My only difficulties with the forums today are in terms of speed, but it is MUCH better now than it's been in the past week or so! In fact, I didn't notice a problem with it today until Crackah posted and noted himmer's difficulties.... After that, I had a brief (a couple of minutes or so) period when I couldn't get on just by clicking on the e-mail. Since then, just the slowness... I seem to be getting e-mails now whenever anyone posts, while during the past week I would get them sporadically.... Hope this helps!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!♥♥♥ |

This is the Crackah is reportin' in with my official list of strange cyber happenings on this forum.
1. NOT ONE EMAIL HAS CROSSED MY BOX ALERTING ME OF A POSTING OR PM SINCE MY FIRST REPORT OF MISSING EMAILS. NOT ONE. (Have checked and unchecked all necessary boxes, logged off and on, deleted cookies, rebooted, and checked spam folders) They used to come reliably, then became sporadic then stopped completely. Continuous problem. 2. Forum runs slow as molasses sometimes and other times it's fine. I have tried noting times and dates to see if there is a pattern, but can't come up with one. Intermittent problem. 3. Sometimes when posting or PMing, when I click send I am taken to an error page. PMs seem to go thru fine in spite of the error message but postings do not. Intermittent problem. 4. I have actually had less trouble with graphics and smileys in the past 2 months or so than I did in the beginning. The only ones I can't see occasionally are Macca's hearts and I think it has to do with her OS or Web Browser or something. Intermittent problem. I started noticing the regularity of these problems around March 17th I think. I access the forum usually through America Online, but often use IE 6.0 web browser (Have trouble on both AOL and IE web browsers) and have Windows XP OS. Hope that helps!
Thanks for working so hard on this Blue Dev! I know you're frustrated, but we appreciate it! |

Cracker Jax - Which email reader do you use? Outlook, Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc.??? Do you have a spam filter and if so have you checked to be sure these emails are not hiding in your spam folder? The support folks at the hosting service think they have found a reason for the intermittent slow performance....we'll see. But, they do not understand the email problems. They have not identified any problems. |

America Online Blu Dev... Same as I've always used. Apparantly Outlook won't work with AOL... or at least I'm not smart enough to make it work... There is a spam catcher built in on AOL and I check it daily. Nothing from the forum is ever there. |

Cracker Jax Member

Correction.... I just checked spam folder for today's spam (usually check it each night) and there was ONE email at 8:44 am this morning telling me that Pappy had replied to the Community Park forum. I told that silly folder that it wasn't spam too! None in spam folder on previous days. |

And don't you dare roll your eyes cause I am an AOL user!!! |

You know something Blu Dev?? I just noticed something very interesting. I opened that spam email and noticed that Pappy's post is in the email...Everything he wrote on the forum during that particular post I can read without going to the forum and signing on... I went back a month or so and opened some old emails from the forum and it used to just tell who'd posted and where... Didn't used to let you read the actual posting in the email....

BluDev, Crackah reminded me to tell you that all last week (when I couldn't use my regular browser, which is Safari) I couldn't quote other posters without adding my post to theirs... You know, my post would just show up as part of theirs.... That was using Firefox as my browser....Of course, now everything is going fine for me....♥♥♥ |

Well, it doesn't look as though I am getting e-mails on a regular basis still..... Safari is my browser and I use the Apple Mail program, Version 2.0.7. |

Steve Adkins Member

Windows XP Internet Explorer V6.0 Email.........go thru RR, uses Outlook express, mine never seemed to stop. As you know, I am frequently logging on from far flung locations, I avoid going thru the firewall at work, just to remove one more failure mode. Ditto Cracker on 2, 3, 4 above. The one I'll add is I've had cases when I've been trying to post, get it all typed out, hit the "send", and nothing happens, just sits there. I'll copy the whole mess to avoid having to re-type, go back to a topic, then have to post again. Intermittent Problem. The overall speed & performance is great tonight............back to normal.

Howdy BluDev! Just thought I'd drop in to mention that the world (forum) has spun off it's axis and now all of the forums are backward and upside down... for instance, page 279 of MAAN is now page 1 and the latest post is now at the top of the page. You're probably aware of it, but just wanted to make sure you knew.... |

I posted this on the web site forum earlier, without realizing I was posting in the wrong place!!!!: Well, it looks as though the forums have changed so that now what was at the end is now at the beginning..... I guess it's still in the changing phase because when you click on the link it takes you to the end still. If you click on the name of the forum, though, it takes you to where you need to be.... Also, the e-mail you get telling you there's been a new posting also takes you to the older postings, not to where the new one is..... ♥♥♥ |

Alright - everybody just settle down.  If your head is spinning and you are feeling nauseus back away from the screen.The Forum is in the process of getting a facelift so if your world is upside down it's only temporary. Firecracker is trying to present your posts from newest to oldest. That was accomplished but it seems that repositioning when you submit a post or link from a notification email still takes you to the last page. Hang in there we'll get it right soon enough.

That was accomplished but it seems that repositioning when you submit a post or link from a notification email still takes you to the last page. I read several forums (or I call them "message boards") across the world wide web and on all of them, while threads are presented in order of newest to oldest, messages within the thread are presented oldest to newest. Now I am admittedly a backwards reader so I can adjust to the new format eventually but to me, it makes much more sense to have messages within a thread read from oldest to newest. For example, if you click on a thread that you haven't read in a while (or maybe, have never read), you have to scroll backward to read what you have missed. I also read some "blogs" out across the WWW and those do usually present postings in order of newest to oldest but blogs are (usually) only posted to by one person. A blog is like reading someone's diary or journal - in which case, you probably would flip to the most recent entry first! The forum, in my humble opinion, is NOT a blog but a "running conversation". In order to participate in the conversation, you need to know what's been said and logically (to me at least!) the conversation needs to "read" from oldest comment to newest comment. DISCLAIMER: This is just my very humble opinion and knowledge I have from my travels out into the great world wide web! If the NWO staff wants to change it, I'll adjust (somehow:-) |

Hi Kris, The preference for oldest posts to newest posts versus newest to oldest seems to depend on whether you're a "regular" poster or new to the Forum. Those of you who have been longtime posters seem to like the way it is; those who are new don't want to have to scroll through several pages to see the latest comments on an issue. Sometimes there are weeks in between posts on a topic, for example, and maybe something new happens to get people talking. If you're a regular, you get an email notice and it takes you right to the end where the latest comments are. However, if you're new to the site, you have to scroll to the end, sometimes past weeks or months of comments, to view the latest conversation. We'll try to keep both groups in mind as we incorporate changes to both the Web site and the Forum, knowing that sometimes in order to accommodate one, we have to inconvenience the other a little. Feedback from "regulars" and newcomers is appreciated, so please keep it coming. |

Thanks Patti, I guess I will have to become "irregular" so that this will work for me I'm not trying to argue or anything (let's call it "debate" - sounds nicer ) but if I were not a "regular" and popped in on the forum, I wouldn't post anything without reading back to see what had already been said. I mean, I just don't think it's right to jump into a conversation without having at least SOME understanding of what has already been said. |

BluDev Administrator

Kris - I agree with you. Most often topics are listed according ot the last post - which means the topic with the most recent post is at the top. As far as posts within a topic goes, I like the traditional oldest to newest sequence but maybe that's just what I am used to. Apparently we've gotten some feedback that some people want to see posts newest to oldest. What's that saying...you can please some of the people some of the time but..... BluDev

I just logged back in and found the forum had been reset to show old posts first - I'm not sure why that is happening but this system is a little "unique"....

The forum should be as it was in the beginning and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask... Thanks again for your understanding & patience during our "fine tuning" Scott |

One thing I have noticed, is that when I first come on to the NWO web site in the mornings, and then open the Forum front page (index of threads), that my screen name does not appear on the list until I either make a post or open one of the Topics or topic threads. Perhaps this is true of others showing up as members within the numbers without their screen names being listed. |

He stated at one council meeting that he's written "a little program" to cross reference the forum for him so he can figure out who everyone is. |

Just learned that the 1983-03-28 birthday was massively used by spammers around christmas time this year. -(I assume this means that for some reason they are using this brthdate all the time and it just started this past December) Anyway, saw that the wowbb people were working on an add-on to the software to block the regsitration of those users. No ETA at this time though. |

ff12, If it is showing up as changed on your account, then it will likely eventually show up here. I've noticed that happening sometimes when I've made changes. In fact, sometimes others can see the change before I can! We'll be on the lookout and let you know when we see it change.... ♥♥♥ |

Anyone else notice any problems with the forum being s-l-o-w this morning? I just got tied up over on Bullwinkle's Corner, where I couldn't preview what I was trying to post, and then it was posted like 20 times! (Maybe it was just me, but I'm wearing my duct tape hat for now, just in case.) Jane and I also noticed that the "Most users" number has been altered. She says that we had 41 posters earlier this week (I don't remember when, but it is likely documented on MAAN), so if it's being adjusted for accuracy, why wouldn't that # be used? Just trying to make sure no more monkey biz is going on...... |

the forum has slowed to a crawl once again. It's 2:30 am, I'm the only fool on here, and it's slower than heck. Historically we've attributed slowness to loading up a particular topic with graphics, but this time it seems universal to all topics. I visited other forums I use, and they are not experiencing the same issues. BluDev, sorry amigo, the boys at wowbb must be selling alot of subscriptions and clobbering the band width Last edited on Jul 21st, 2007 06:35 am by Steve Adkins |

Is it a pretty red tractor, ff12?? I was getting ready to tell you how pretty I thought it was!! (I've noticed that sometimes I have to shut down or restart my computer when I've changed my avatar, and that others see it before I do! I thought it was just my funky computer!) |

I can see that fancy red tractor too ff12. It's got something to do with stale cookies or some other computery graphical mumbo jumbo. Hang in there... I'm sure it'll appear for you soon!
Pappy, your John Deere's in big trouble!!! Looks to me like ff12's tractor might "Tokyo Drift" a mudhole in your tractor! |
