I get it nonstop!

Just got back home from Cincinnati, tomorrow I will research the log in issue, I saw it too while on my note book and on my phone at the summit (would no longer be logged in if not active for a short period of time). Not sure about the bad request thing some are seeing. I've seen it once in a week (on my wife's iphone). Once she got completely out and restarted it went away. I'll also search for hacks for enlarging the thumbnails.

Steve,

You can change the session lifetime in global config to something a little more than 15 mins. The won't fix the remember me problem but at least people won't be logged off so quickly.

And just to make your day, here's what bigger thumbs looks like.

OK, log in problems are back. Every time I leave the site and come back, even if it's just a few seconds I have to log in again. It's really getting quite frustrating having to log in so much, be taken to the social page and have to go back to the forum. It was so much better when we stayed logged in all the time. Heck I stayed logged in for months at a time, sometimes so long I had to look up my user name and password cause I forgot it cause it was so long since I had to use it.

Also the site still goes to the wrong page when I hit the back button sometimes still. I will go to a board, pick a thread, read the page, then hit back, it will go to the threads again, then hit back to go to categories and it will go to the posts again, then have to hit back and it will go to categories finally. Oh well, maybe I should be in the shop practicing instead.

The designer was busy today on the site, may have changed something that affected the log ins. I'm not seeing it on my pc or on a friend's Mac when they just checked. But I will still ask.

Me gets that aswell Ben you just have to hang in there
good idea get in to the shop and make a few

need to that next week myself getting rusty

just so I understand John and Ben, the site was holding your log in when you closed or browsed away and now you are logged out under the same conditions (in less than the 9 hrs I have set for a session)?

Steve, Did people staying logged in all all the time cause an issue with the software? I don't mind logging in and out. It seems to be the best way for me to get to the new posts ("since last visit") without out doing a lot of searching around and manual filtering. The Vbulletin seemed to keep track of what we had read automatically, which was a bit more convenient, but the way it's working now is no big deal. I do still get the 404 error occasionally, but much less frequently. I think you are doing a very impressive job in ironing out the bugs and addressing user complaints/suggestions.

From my end it looks like things are starting to take shape, there's just a new normal.

I hope the user suggestions keep coming, I think the suggestions and your responses to them have greatly improved the site since you first rolled it out.

My three favorite words in software developement: Dependable, friendly, and intuitive. Right up there with good, fast, and cheap. Pick two.

By the way, what time did you get up to start work this morning? The time stamp on your previous message said three hours and 5 minutes ago. That would have been just after 4:00 AM eastern. Say it ain't so!!

Regards

alot on my mind right now

I also have been getting the 404 error. Almost every time. I cleared cookies and cach again to see if it will work. Has been so far. Hang in there Steve. I'm sure its hard to have this active of a site and trying to make all the changes that are required ever day.


Just curious if the adds could be moved to the side if the screen. Then there would not be as much scrolling to get to a topic and folks would most likely absorb the adds more as well.

Michael,
Thank you. I will make it and the site is going to get where I want it because there is a solution. I just need my designer to finish his job I paid for long ago. Just stressful when in someone else's hands plus I have a personal situation that is loading on an extra layer of stress for me. I haven't been seeing 404's but I also haven't been logged out. 404's are when something is literally missing so less likely to be related to a user's system. If you get them a lot, the next time will you pm me the details of what you were trying to go to when you get the 404, then I can try to fix it on my side. FYI, ads have to run inside the template which excludes the background area.

Yes Steve,I could go to other sites and come back and always be logged in. I could even turn my computer off all day, turn it back on and then come to horseshoes and still be logged in. Like I said, for months at a time. Only time I had to log back in was if I did an update or cleared cookies and had to log back into all the places I go.

Keep up the hard work Steve, even though we get frustrated it's just small stuff and as they say we shouldn't sweat the small stuff when your doing all the heavy lifting.

^^ Ditto!
