Anyone Else Having Consistant Problems With The Site?



Recommended Posts

Since the new front end to this site has been used I've had a LOT of problems with it.

I use Firefox 10.1 to access the site and accross all 4 of the PCs I use I have the same problems - as well as my Android tablet.

Firefox refuses to allow the spell check to work - while this mayseem to be a browser issue I sincerely beleive that it's a site issue. I suspect that the text input dialogs are somehow tagged wrong and they come accross as a type of dialog box which will not allow spell check to work, I know this is a common issue with some sites for SUBJECT type dialog boxes, that is the SUBJECT dialog box (like the Topic Title dialog in these posts) does not allow spell check but the actual MESSAGE dialog should.

I also see a lot of issues with posts refreshing, like editing a post and the site refusing to refresh the page so I can review the newely edits post.

On my Android pad it quite often refuses to allow me to enter text as the keyboard won't pop up, while on a few other boards it works just fine. It's like it doesn't recognize that's it's in a text dialog box. I suspect that it's the same issue as with the above problem with Firefox.

Also the pages load glacially slow and sometimes won't render completely.

Is there still an Android app in the works?

I have had some problems recently with getting errors and thought it was my pc or my internet server, but it does it on my iphone too. I can't remember what the error says. I use Firefox on my laptop. I don't remember any spell-check issues but I will pay attention to that and let you know if I do.

We are actively working on resolving the issues mentioned above. We hope to have it foxed within a matter of days. I'll update you here and let you know once we find the problem.

Our own Android app should be released this week and our iPhone app should follow very soon after.

Alex,

It seems like it was SQL server error. But that was just one day, and I thought it was my laptop, internet, or browser. But I tried to also use my iphone which is AT&T 3G and I got the error again. But the next day it was fine. I will let you know if I see that again and what exactly it said. Today I've been posting a lot, with absolutely NO problems.

:)

We were having some database issues that were causing that error. They've since been resolved.

You should see an button right after the "Forum" button named "Current" Click on that button and you should be able to view Unread posts from across all forums.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
