Sonofbeast2.0 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Gosh, this is quite a set back! Main thing I want to bring up again (in case it's still not working) is the fact I don't get notifications for someone quoting my posts. The box is checked in the notification area as well.
The Interpreter Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 A. In respect to others, if you are going to use that phrase (which some find VERY offensive), at least capitalize Lord. B. A day or two of posts is quite better than many forums lose. Mr. Dane works hard to keep this place going. I, for one, say THANKS 6
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Fixed that... Sorry about that. Finding myself say that more often than not... I also didn't mean no disrespect to Dane or anything by that. Just meant it was a setback and thats all. Not that I appointed it towards Dane or anything. I applaud him and all other Mods/Admin on the site as well! Hopefully the site is set for smooth sailing again and no more massive slow downs or even crashing. 1
BoddaH1994 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 This isn't the first time something like this has happened. It's rare, but it happens. I actually uploaded dozens of photos and wrote a whole nice article about Beastbuzz on year and the whole site crashed and I had to start over. This was probably back in 2005 or so. 5
Dieseltech20 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Great job getting it fixed. Losing two days is nothing. One forum I visit had a crash in 09. They lost 8 years of posts/info. Host was supposed to be handling the back ups......they weren't. Took 5 years but they finally recovered all but about 6 months. 9
BoddaH1994 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 If we lost 5 years that would be a travesty. Imagine all of you guys who created usernames over the past 5 years loosing your log in, user name, posts, and post counts. The two days thing is irritating, but certainly not the end of the world. 11
jcgoble3 Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 One small forum that I used to post on years ago had a server crash and lost the database. When they tried to load the backup, they found out that all available backups were severely corrupted and unrepairable, and because of limited storage space, all of the older, non-corrupted backups had been deleted/overwritten. The result was that every single post and every single user account, almost three years' worth, was permanently lost; nothing was available on Google or the Internet Archive because of restrictions they had in their robots.txt file. They had to completely start over from scratch. Traffic was significantly lower afterward, and they never recovered to the level of activity that they had had before the crash before I stopped posting there. I'd be surprised if they still exist. Moral of the story: backup scripts are not "set it and forget it". The backups need to be regularly checked for errors. 4
Dane Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 I have them set up to backup to my personal home server every week. Pay a third party site to back up nightly onto my second server and the host does a backup every 3 or 4 days. I'd say we have a pretty good backup plan. 10
The Interpreter Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 The server of late has been much more consistent in its service. Someone must have done something to help ensure promptness. Thanks! 3
freaks76 Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 It does seem to be moving alot faster since the crash. 1
The Interpreter Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Until last night. For me. I missed a page on This Or That as my post took 10+ minutes to post. Later, this morning, the server is taking up to several minutes to serve up a page again.
jcgoble3 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Is there a reason why long lines of text no longer wrap in the BBCode editor? I get side-scrolling instead, even for normal sentences with spaces between the words like this one. 1
malem Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 ^ Word wrap works for me, with Firefox on Linux. Try clearing your browser cache. 1
jcgoble3 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 It also works for me in Firefox on Linux, correctly wrapping lines at the end of the last word that fits entirely on that line. On Windows 8.1, I get one of two issues, depending on the browser. In Firefox, word wrap is completely broken and does not work at all. In Chrome and Internet Explorer, word wrap works, but it does not work properly, in that it wraps wherever the text hits the right margin even if that is in the middle of a word. In none of those three browsers does clearing the cache have any effect. The skin (IP.Board/KICentral) does not appear to be a factor, as the bug persists in Firefox after switching from IP.Board to KICentral.
malem Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 ^ It also works for me with Firefox 36 and Chrome on Windows 7. Does text wrap here: http://ckeditor.com/demo ? Perhaps a hijacker (eg. adware/spyware) is modifying pages, or perhaps a Windows component used for displaying text is malfunctioning in some way.
jcgoble3 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Does text wrap here: http://ckeditor.com/demo ? Same issues there when I switch it to source mode. Additionally, upon updating Firefox from 35.0.1 to 36.0 on the Linux computer (which I did on the Windows machine yesterday), the bug of not wrapping at all has popped up there as well, both here on KIC and on that editor. So that part seems to be a Firefox 36 bug, yet somehow it works for you. I can give it a try on a Windows 7 computer later tonight after my dad goes to bed.
malem Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 ^ I actually do see the problem in source mode; I normally keep the editor on this site in its default mode. Considering that it's affecting multiple browsers, it's probably a CKeditor bug exposed by the browser updates. This certainly isn't the first time that FCKeditor/CKeditor has been slow to become compatible with new browser releases. 3
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Most Recent Topics tab on right of home screen flashes when I first load the page, but then disappears soon thereafter.
Oldiesmann Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 The sidebar on the main page of the forum? Hover near the top right corner of the box that says "Kings Island Discussion" and you'll see a "<<" button. Click that to open the sidebar. It shows then disappears because the forum doesn't know to hide it until after it's loaded. 1
Imperial79 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Does anyone know why I can't view the live webcams for Fury 324 and i305? It has been a few days now. Edit: It is working now. lol. Sorry for the post.
JTW Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I haven't heard of Fury 324. What is that and where can I find it? 4
The Interpreter Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Just me or is the server creaky right about now?
jcgoble3 Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Not just you. It's being very, very slow for me right now. 1
The Interpreter Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Seamless, speedy, sustained performance. Huzzah! 1
Creed Bratton Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Each time I open a thread, I'm having no issue aside from when I open the "Coming Attractions" thread. In that thread, there is only one topic that I can see...."flying eagles back?" Confused.
malem Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 ^ Check the filter bar above the topic list. By default, it only shows topics updated in the past 90 days. For that forum, only one topic meets that criteria.
BB1 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Does anyone know why I can't view the live webcams for Fury 324 and i305? It has been a few days now. Edit: It is working now. lol. Sorry for the post. Fury 404? I'm sorry, but that coaster cannot be found! (I'm sorry, but when you make a post like that, I have to use computer style lingo!) Overall lately I have experienced no lag nor troubles on site! 3
dtk1378 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I'm not usually one to complain about ads as it is usually just a small line in between the threads. But now we are getting ads from CNN that take up the whole screen if you don't stop the "Expanding" notification in time? 1
