So, I'm having some problems with the forum...

Postby GentlemanGearGrinder on Mon Apr 19, 2010 2:28 pm

First off, as of last night the forums look like this

Image

At first I thought it was just my laptop or my network, but I've gotten on both a different computer and network. Plus, forums on other websites seem to work fine. Its really confusing.

Second, I'm having this problem when making really long forum posts where the text window scrolls up a few lines above where I'm actually typing as soon as I stop typing. I literally can't see what I'm typing, except when I hit the keys and it rapidly cuts down to where I'm typing and comes back up to where I can't see it.

Is anyone else having these problems? Is there anyway to fix it?

You're not alone, John, but I can't tell you whether/when it's fixed since I seem to be the only one for which the forums are totally normal. IDEK. Must be because I'm too awesome to subject to that lame sh*t. ;)

Most people here are having the same problem. (Me included) It's been acting up since sometime late Saturday/early Sunday. This is the longest time the forum's been down for me since I've been here. It was also led up to by the forum being really really slow. Not sure when it will be fixed, but Teddy doesn't have control over it cause the forum's from PHPBB. :|

I think it has to do with your board style. I was using "arrow" and it looked like GGG's screenshot. Out of curiosity I tried changing the style to "prosilver", and it looks normal (or at least what I'm assuming it normally looks like since I don't use "prosilver"). I also tried the "blackbox" setting and that seemed to work too. Then I tried going back to "arrow", but it was messed up again.

Yeah, it works fine with a different layout. Hm... Not as fast as normal, but still looks fine.

If you were experiencing problems and switched your style, try switching back. Things should be back in order - however, still slow.

We're switching to a new server this week, so things should pick up soon.

Thanks.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I thought it was my internet connection. But it's back to normal meow.

Lol, seems I'm having short-term memory problems. For some reason I thought johnpmadrigal was the OP. Silly Abs indeed.
