Board upgrade in progress, We're still working on it..... Options

[trackbird]

I find if I hit the reply with quote button to the mangled post I can see the hidden text that was only a email button.

I have issues with IE and FireFox.

I'm running a "clean up" that should fix the quote problems. It's up to 21,000 posts right now and will run all night. It should be better tomorrow.

Also, I can't seem to post from work (even before the upgrade), I'm not sure if it's a new firewall setting (I can post on ls1tech and cc.com, etc) or just my machine, so if I'm not around much, I'm still here and I can answer and send PM's and do admin/mod functions, just not post????

I have to log in everytime I return to the site, even when I check the "remember me" box. This is the only forum this occurs on. Just thought I should let you know.

A coworker had his personal website blocked as "violent/hateful/racist". It (and he) was actually none of that; his hobby is building a small functioning model of a Sherman tank (remote controlled, but big enough for his kids if he finishes it before they are grown). Apparently something on his page triggered some automatic content detection filter, but we never figured out what it was. FWIW, though, two of his children are adopted, so his household is actually multi-racial (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That sounds like a cookie issue.

I had the same problem with logging in. I cleared my frrax cookie and re-remembered my login. Now when I return, it logs me in.

The odd part is, when I click on View New Posts, I remain logged in. When I clicked on one of the posts, it then showed me as logged out. Also, almost all of the smilies are broken for me.

spark-plugs are all always lit... do I have to go through every single thread in each section for them to go off ?
I don't necessarily read all threads, but the way it was set up allowed us to know where we had new replies/threads since last logged in.

I'm with Eugenio SS - spark plugs used to be new posts since last login - not just unread (all 21k+ posts)...

[slowTA]

If you look towards the bottom of the page (right above 'Board Statistics') on the right you will see a link 'Mark all posts as read'. That will take care of all the spark plugs.


Someone is going to shoot me for saying this, but I'll take my chances.

With the old board I could log on using my phone, although it was kind of slow and not everything worked right I could still post. I had to quote another post since there wasn't a 'post' button, but I still got it to work. I was thrilled when I saw the 'Lo-Fi version' link at the bottom of each page just now. It loads fine on the phone, but it offers no way to post at all! Not even on a real computer.

So I tried the full version and it crashed the phone, I had to pull the battery to get it working again!!! When you click on search with the Lo-Fi version you are directed back to the full version page, that works on the phone but asks me to log in. My log in isn't accepted then, but if I (wishfully) try the homepage again it shows I'm logged in... but crashes.

So is there away to allow posting on the Lo-Fi version without directing us back to the full version?

I'm going to guess not, but I'd have to check with the board designers to get a final answer.

Thanks Kevin, I appreciate it.

THERE'S the little bastard! Found it - thanks...

I've been busy lately, new baby being born and such as that.

So how are things progressing here with the new board version?

So far, things look pretty good. The spark plugs are "missing" if you click on "view new posts", we get folders. I can live with it and don't care, but some made mention of the spark plugs.

How's your wife doing?

I'm still not able to see quoted messages from before the board transition (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

[trackbird]

Dan, what browser are you using? And, just post a link to one of them in this thread and let me take a look.

The "clean up" routine would only run to about 22,500 posts, then it wanted to die. I ran it about a dozen times and that's as far as I got. Hmm.

The only browser worth using... Safari! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I kid, but I work at Apple, so I'm legally forced to say that, or something.

Sean's post at #21 is a perfect example. I see when I view the source that the text is, indeed, there.

However, it starts out as: <div class="postcolor" id='post-72032'> <!--QuoteBegin--Jon A+Aug 1 2005, 04:08--></span>

That </span> shouldn't be there, but removing it doesn't fix things. What I do get is an Email image followed by a -->. What makes that seriously weird is that that should be commented out. So it seems that somewhere some comment isn't being interpreted properly or is wrong. I'll try to look more into it later.

[sgarnett]

I also have the same problem. I'm using Firefox 1.04 on Win XP Home, Win XP Pro, and Redhat Workstation.

[trackbird]

Odd, I still see it as (but with the old quote graphics):

One worry I would have--especially with the LS1 ABS--is that it's "springiness" would somehow let the ABS conspire to bounce the arm on the bottom of the car. I don't know that this would happen, if it did I would think a preload change could tune it out, I'm just sayin' once again, no gaurantees.

But I wanted to let you know the option was out there.

Now that I'm getting most of the compliance out of my LCAs, I'm looking again at putting some back in to the torque arm link (where it belongs) with Jon's spring idea, but possibly substituting a die spring. Any spring will have less damping than the rubber pads, though.

Jason, any thoughts?

Has anyone tried using a coil spring with LS1 brakes?

How does post #8 in this thread look to you guys:

http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/index.php?sho...ic=2&hl=welcome

This is one of the oldest threads on the board, so I know it was updated by the script. Did it fix the post so you see it correctly?

[sgarnett]

Post 8 in that old thread looks fine in Firefox on Redhat. I haven't tried it on Windows XP.

Ok, then I just need to find a way to run the post rebuilding tool and get it to complete the task.
