Bug Tracking

Hey everyone, we've been working hard to get this new site up and running, and there are a few bugs that we didn't see until after launching. I'm going to attempt to keep a running list of the bugs we know about in this thread, and mark them as solved as we get them fixed.As you encounter issues, check here to see if we know about it, and let us know if we don't already know.

User Accounts

1. Some users have multiple accounts, causing forum posts, membership status, and Registry content to be scattered across those accounts.

Registry

1. Registry menus sometimes redirects users to homepage instead of where they should go.
2. Registry edit button is not intuitive. Change or provide directions for useFIXED9/18.

Forum

1. Image attachments in forum show up at bottom of page instead of in shadowbox.
2. 203 Missing Posts (posts since forum transfer) FIXED 10/17
3. Broken Links in OC Technical LibraryFixed 9/14
4. Remaining Broken Links in OC Technical LibraryIf OK before move, OK now.
5. Online/Offline status not working
6. Post Count incorrect Fixed with software update
7. Member Status incorrect Fixed with software update.
8. 'My Topics' doesn't find topics from before the forum transfer.
9. Images not showing from before forum transfer FIXED 10/17

Derrick - to my knowledge I have only one account, and I do not know why my post count is reset to 1 and status changed to new member. I have started another thread asking why this effort took place, and wondering what the problems were that led those in charge to believe that the site had to be reconfigured.
Sorry for being bitchy, but this is the only forum where these things seem to occur. I am perplexed.

I tried a few as well. Some of the links are legitimately broken. Others will need to be reconstituted on the new site from the old site's database. We'll put that on the list.

Also, we'll have to contact the authors of the posts where there are legitimately broken (offsite) links and ask them to update them or better yet send us the content and we'll host it. They would have been broken before the forum migration, but to maintain the integrity of the OC info we need to do this.

I think we fixed 'My Topics', but since I changed my username I can't tell. If someone could check and let us know, that would be great. Thanks.

You should be able to go back and edit your Registry entry anytime and change everything but the title. The edit feature is a little obscure, but when you find your entry (browse, search) and hover over it you'll notice that unlike the entry above it, there's an additional little - kind of star - on the right side of the popup array of buttons.. Click that and there's a dropdown menu that opens up and gives you the option to edit your entry. The required fields are identified with a menu and with a star next to the fields. The rest are optional.

Try that, and if you have add'l problems let us know.

Since the Registry module is built from a canned Component, we probably can't change the way the edit feature displays, but we will ask the developer of the component if it is possible. And we can work on providing more info about how to access it. I'll add that to the bug list above.

Hi martinss
You should have access to edit your entries in the Registry now. Let us know if you're still having problems.

I know that's at the top of Derrick's list.

I do not expect new posts will be overwritten, and I am sure that Derrick will run a site backup and test it before he implements the fix so if something does happen the backup can be restored immediately.

Thanks for hanging in there!

Hi WyattsRide....

Please see the first post of this thread, where we're tracking the bugs. Two that you've mentioned are listed there, but this is the first that we've heard that parts of existing posts are missing. We know the images are missing, but were pretty sure that the text (except for the last 203 posts) were intact. If you can point us to one we can investigate.

HI Rick,
With the re-migration of the Forum, your text and photos on that post have been restored. Let me know if you find anything else.

Cheers,
Bill Van Vlack
