Title: Anyone else having the forum playing up.
Post by: Top Cat on August 06, 2013, 11:06:40 pm
Strange thing happening whilst perusing tonight. If I click on a section with the green light on and then threads in that section, once I go to another section the green and red new post lights don't go out. It started with the APR section but now all threads and sections are playing up.   :chicken:

Also getting error codes when trying to post.


Anyone else having issues.

I've had intermittent issues where if I've clicked on "mark all as read" in a subsection eg Wanted, not all of them are cleared. Majority of the time, it sorts itself out. Over the last 24 hours, it has been more persistent and the same threads will not clear - even if you click on NEW (next to thread title).

Doesnt appear to be marking threads as read when you have viewed the latest post either.

Edit: But it does when you post in them.

I dont know where SteveP is? I sent him a text on Wednesday when it started playing up.  I have spent a couple of hours in the admin section moving around dusty boxes but no joy. I found all the errors even a a button saying "fix fault" but it never did anything.  :sad1:
I think a newer version of the database needs downloading but i dont want to make the fault terminal.  :laugh:

backup the DB.
copy the DB and rename.
update your config file with new name.
update the database.
if it foobars then just update your config file with the old DB name; until you have more time to spend on it. 20 mins tops.

or press the DFA button (like that) repeatedly  :signLOL:
