We're back... — Forum Archive

19 May 2002, 16:40

So the forum is back to its state on May 9th 2002. I'm sorry, but we lost a week of messages in the upgrade process, this is something that I wasn't able to deal with, but at least the sitw was opened then.

You can see other changes on the way, I sure hope you will help me find most of the bugs caused by the switch, I'm working on them as we speak.

And also, let me know if you find the performance better than it was, or any comments at all.

The domain name and email addresses should be available soon.

And I would like to thank the opportunity to present to you the new "Member" level on the form... Salvation Member, I think you can guess what it means :D

19 May 2002, 18:28

Splendid stuff ! Welcome back everybody. Dreams Never End :)

19 May 2002, 20:25

This is very strange - feels like regaining one's consciousness after major surgery and finding that certain parts of the body aren't quite functioning properly... for instance, besides losing lots of messages and threads, this particular thread says SEVEN replies on the menu but only three in reality. How bizarre!.......

Let's hope the initial teething troubles of this new set-up can be overcome then.... ;)

19 May 2002, 22:17

Well, I had some database problems earlier, which might explain the reply thing, did anyone lose a post?

Sure thing is, I'm a little mad at myself for losing yesterday's posts and I'm a little worried there isn't more on here right now.

Now let's hope everything will get back to normal. As far as I know, the only "problem" right now is a design problem in the fanclub continent selection page and the tours & concerts concert selection page, which should be fixed tomorrow...

If everyone else works, I'll be ready when the domain goes back! Let's just hope I won't be removed from search engines :D

Hello everyone, it's nice to be here...

20 May 2002, 09:52

Nicolas, I'm not sure what's happening, but people are still posting at the old site.

20 May 2002, 10:23

I like the new look,

It's cool you added the Salvation member, but how about the Get Ready member? Maybe 1-50 you could be a member of get ready, or put "Needs to" Get ready?

Just an idea?

20 May 2002, 11:24

:scratch: Is this a parrallel universe?

20 May 2002, 13:00

Just testing again here - this time using the Netscape browser on my IMac instead of the Internet Explorer one I usually use (which has given me no problems except on this new site - for some reason everything was sticking, thus preventing me from loggin in a keying replies). This one is all right except that it's still slow, but this time round I cannot even reach the "Log In" menu at the far far right hand side of the top menu bar - as the page won't open up wide enough for me to access it - only allowing me to get as far as "Account" and then not going any further on the next drop-down menu..... Oh, and by the way I STILL get the "syntax / incorrect code, etc" error message the moment after I've hit the "log in" button after keying in my password and email address... what are these teething problems all about? I don't get it.....is this site only workable on very select browsers or something??

20 May 2002, 13:07

Also - I just found out I cannot even click back in to edit my own message instead I get this same error message again:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126' Include file not found/edit_message. asp. line 72The include file 'include/menu. inc' was not found.

What is all this about? Can't seem to be able to sort the problem out!!

This message was keyed in using the "quote message" icon.

which seems to work for some reason, whilst the "edit post" one just gives me that error message.... :( :(

20 May 2002, 13:15

Hey Nic, how long is the site safe for? Which option did you go with?

:smoking:

20 May 2002, 17:11

Hey, I like the new look but what is the "right" NewOrderOnline? Now we have two of them.

20 May 2002, 17:50

IIm on an imac to and am having afew problems here and there. When Im typing a message, I can't see any letters appear on the screen. However, when I click submit reply, my message shows up. So Im typing in my posts without seeing them on my screen.

Sometimes, I'll click on a thread to and nothing will come up on the screen besides the blue border. Hope it doesn't sound like Im whinging. Just having afew difficulties accessing the page. Anyone else having any problems besides the few who have posted ?

20 May 2002, 21:45

Well, just a test post on the nexpoint.net board, just to see what comes up. Also glad to be back Nick!!!:D

Damn it, those fools let the domain active, talk about stupidity. Ah well, at least it gives me time to advertise the switch, since I'll have to wait almost a week before it's done...

I guess I fixed it. As for the rest, I'll have to work with you on it, because it's very weird. The author of the menus is confident it works great on Mac, if you tell me you have a problem, I'll see what I can do.

We're supposed to be good for ONE FULL YEAR.

I took the cheap option, to don't have to beg everyone each month, it seems pretty stable now, and so far I have no reason to doubt it will be slow or giving problems.

Except for Martin, he seems to be a victim of the new menus :D I'm hoping I'll find something, because I sure don't have a Mac to test the site on..

You don't see the message when typing? oh boy, that one's strange. We'll have to do some tests, email me (Martin and You) and I'll see exactly what you're doing and I will make temporary pages just to find the problem.

As I said, I don't have a mac, so I can't find myself the problem.. I'm guessing it's the CSS and due to the colored scrollbar or something, because the messages are written in a plain old text area...

This one is the right one, the other one was supposed to be shut down in the move.. it looks like someone powered the computer by mistake!! Well, I won't yell, but I sure hope people will come here and visit the temporary site instead of filling the forum over there, where all posts will be lost.

20 May 2002, 23:25

Fixed it, the old site will redirect it for the time it will be up and running.

20 May 2002, 23:40

hello everyone...i was at the old site for a while...that's what happens when you bookmark the forum :D

21 May 2002, 03:30

Err, I'm having the same problem as Martin, I can't edit my own posts. Other than that, everything seems fine. It's a lot quicker than the old one.

21 May 2002, 03:34

Good to be back...

I don't know if someone else alreaday adressed that but you can't access the very old posts.

It's much worse in the french forum, where you only have accessed to one page and 4 or 5 subjects on the 2nd...

That must have something to do with some date, I guess...

Nice design by the way...

21 May 2002, 05:14

I like, nice one, it is much quicker than the old one, I have ADSL & it was still slow on the old site :) :)

21 May 2002, 05:21

I WANT MY MONEY BACK !

21 May 2002, 06:02

I think its grand :clap:

Although I did feel a bit like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz at first....:)

21 May 2002, 07:49

was wondering where all the messages had gone - like the new header bar, v nice...

21 May 2002, 08:27

Its all sorted now anyway. Thank god. I'd become a jibbering cabbage forced to eat riveta and weave baskets to pass the time.

21 May 2002, 10:27

Ah well....lost a few posts did we...anybody here too terribly disappointed? Or are we just all glad that we have our home back?

21 May 2002, 10:56

hrrm...and i'd thought it was just something strange to do with the domain being transferred over. didn't think it was actually that TWO different NOOnlines were existing... :lol: :lol:

glad that the site's up and running again...thanks again, Nic!

:hi:

Now, that is a problem if it's true, I tried to transfer the damned database so many times, I'm about to be sick..

21 May 2002, 15:25

Kill each other my Texan buddy? - the state we'll be in - we won't be able to focus or raise our hands;) Looking forward to it :evil4:

Works like a charm now......thanks!

21 May 2002, 17:52

Lets try this again...the words only appear when I point my mouse at the menu headers above!! Isn't that fooking strange? Most bizarre of all, I tested this same process on my AO-HELL browser and had no problems at all - and yet THAT browser is supposed to be the INFERIOR ONE!! NOT Internet Explorer, which is the better of the two - yet it is precisely this one that doesn't work. Besides, it's a real bastard to try and type without seeing the words too - not only that but I cannot click the cursor in anywhere to amend or correct missing letters without deleting the entire lot again and starting from scratch. This is like the Twlight Zone - it's too much for even this Martian to take!! :(

I know exactly how you feel ... Im having the exact same problems ... I only have internet explorer so I'll have to try downloading something else !!

21 May 2002, 20:13

Alright.. I'll try something else.

I might even get rid of the menus if those are the problem to replace with click-navigation instead (you click on history and get to the "history" page where you'll have the selection.

I will do a temporary page without the menu to see if that is the problem.

21 May 2002, 20:22

Thanks for your continued patience Nic ... it obviously means a lot to everybody that , with feedback on all the glitches and problems we encounter, folks here can work with you to get this forum, once it is up and running properly, to be one we'll all be very proud of.... :) :)

22 May 2002, 04:19

hey Nic, only a small thing - but i cant change my name when i edit my profile - wanted to add a nickname but i don't get the option when i try & edit it...

cheers

22 May 2002, 12:49

Gosh! You go away for five minutes and you come back to a new, faster, brighter Neworderonline page. Will our sorrows never end?

22 May 2002, 13:12

I like it!!:D This site works better and quiker for me than the old one!! So i guess we're here to stay? Martin, you should have known that ripping a computer from intergalactic space wasn't gonna pay off!! They don't function around here :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The nickname is not related to the profile, you must go into the NewOrderOnline menu, Account then Edit, it's there with the other options you have.

One day, I'll find the time to enhance all this, but it sure takes lots of time.
