If there are forum problems...

[DBK]

please report them in here. I apologize in advance for any errors/dead links/wierd happenings that occur. I'm learning this stuff on the fly, so I may not be aware of potential issues.

If you find em, I'll work to fix them as quickly as possible. :cheers

I got the picture error fixed.....Anything over the size of 800px is not recommended for popup window picture loading....So I resized my pictures in the vBGarage and they work fine now lol....

Hey,
I tried all day to post various posts with valuable pictures re installs, comments based on experiences known and so on. I write it all neat, and the the freaking post wont go and all effort s get lost - i don't habe that muc time to dedicate, it's not that I' m jobless, you know...!

I am about to abandon the site, what the hell is going bad lately -I love the crowd here, but the site just sucks lately ! :mad

[DBK]

SLF,
What are the errors when you try to post? If there is a database error it automatically kicks an email to me, and I haven't received any at all? :confused

What's an example of something that happened? Sometimes if you type an ultra-long post it'll automatically time out, so if you're posting something over a long period of time and that's what's happening, just copy the text of your message before you post in case...

Don't leave us wild man, I promise, you tell me the problem, I'll take the time to find the solution... :biggrin

[DBK]

BTW, anybody else having issues?

[SLF360]

DBK,

first of all, thanks man. I write the text, and when I put an icon to the post headline, or when I put pictures as attachment (but not only then), and click on submit, the explorer hangs and everything freezes. Then, I can't even copy the text anymore, and all was in vain. It happened at the very beginning of my participation, and then all was without issues, until recently this phenomenon returned, to just drive me crazy yesterday.

What could this be ? Is the bulletin getting to heavy in size, or what ?

[Neilda]

Don't leave us SLF.... it would be like Clarkson handing his GT back because of a technical.

We need you!

Neil

[wonkawonka]

Ditto!
If I may suggest a possible workaround... Dump internet explorer and get firefox: http://www.getfirefox.com
Better, cleaner, etc...
I haven't had a problem with the site yet (except that it says I can't used the "advanced" features for editing a post, which I don't care about).

[DBK]

Hmm...SLF, sounds like it's browser related. You know, I've encountered the exact same problem on SVTperformance when using Internet Explorer on a certain PC at my parent's house (though never on this site). I know how infuriating it can be. My own home PC running Firefox and the Mac Powerbook running Safari I primarily use have never encountered the problem on any site.

Probably a software version conflict. My suggestion would be to upgrade to Firefox, which I would suggest anyways, but I will certainly look into a fix with the vBulletin people. There is a new version of the forum software out, but I've been reticent to upgrade as it was only jutst now declared stable. I will see if the new version addresses this problem!

Don't say ciao just yet :biggrin

I say hello again ! Did as you suggested, installed firefox (thanks wonka), and fired off my edition of the last post (Gallardo vs Z06) without any issues... That was not possible seven times ina row on Gates crapware aka internet explorer...

Thanks buddy !

DBK,

I don't have a forum problem, I have a don't know how to use the forum problem.

When my PM thing has 50 messages it's full. I don't know how to get rid of some I have to trash. When I click on PMs only 4 or 5 show up. How do I get to the others being stored? I once did it by accident, but can't repeat it.

Help,

Allan

[DBK]

At the top, where it says "folder controls" you can click on either sent or recieved messages. You may have a bunch in the sent folder that you can delete. Because the default comes up as received messages, you've probably only been deleting received ones...

[Pipelion]

Thanks DBK,

It took me a while even with your help, :ack

Now I've got it, thanks to you. :biggrin

[BigsGT]

Dave is there anyway you can set things so it's possible to upload more than one photo at a time? Other boards I use allow you to upload three at a time. I've refrained from posting some photos due to the time it takes. Not a big deal and thanks for your efforts!

DB

[Neilda]

I'd like to know who 'The Architect' is! I've seen him post elsewhere.

[DBK]

Thanks for pointing that out Bigs. :lol Here I am uploading one pic at a time like a retard when all I had to do was change a setting.

Should be good for 5 at a time now :cheers

[The Architect]

See signature.

DBK, Great site. I haven't used forums that much, and have luckily only experienced one issue on yours, that I'm sure has an easy fix. When registering my car I noticed that when my car's picture came up it was w/o stripes. Unfortunately when I clicked on side strips it removed the strips. When I went to fix, I realized I now own two of the same car, one with strips and one without. Now if I could only find that second car, w/o the strips, in my garage. Is there an easy fix? Please don't send that Martrix guy to my house. Thanks. :frown

[DBK]

I'll let SuperB know it's an error. He created the registry for the site :cheers

[Cobraman]

Thank you DBK. From the other duplicate cars on the site, I'm guessing I'm not the first to make this error. Thanks for your quick reply. :thumbsup

[cmoody32]

Is the sight down or is it me?

[SuperB]

The registry wasn't down, it was a dns issue.
Until that get's resolved, the link to the registry now points directly to the IP.

I've noticed many times that the site is down, but it's usually not down so much as extremly slow. I often get a database error which indicates to me that the entire issue is with the database server being too busy due to hosting other sites.

I'll offer again to host it for free. My sites are never down and are never slow. :thumbsup

Glad to hear this - I thought it was my machine's fault. The site has been almost unavailable to me since yesterday evening - lots of database error messages and time outs!:eek

[SuperB]

I'm sure it will get worked out, DBK is just a little to busy with the Rally to invest a bunch of time on the site.

[fjpikul]

DBTGT - remember the paid for banning on the Viper site? Maybe you should reconsider your affection for RED cars!

[cobrajeff]

I'm having trouble posting pictures to the photo gallery. I thought it was because I was too close to the limit for total pictures, so I went in and deleted some of my older pics. Still can't load any new pics (and they're small - less than 100k each). Keep getting an error message like this:

Unable to move file [/tmp/phpVKapoT] [/home/fordgt/public_html/gallery/uploads/286/5-0036.JPG]

Any suggestions? This has been going on for a few months - I noticed for awhile others were having problems, too (could tell by the lack of new photos posted) - however, now I see that others are able to post photos again, while I still can't.

regards,

Jeff

[Beach-GT]

Same problem I have had. Loading them into a thread seems to work, Just not the gallery.

ever since the site got hacked a few months ago i am having the same exact problems as you :confused

I used to get the message:

"Sorry, we couldn't find http://registry.fordgtforum.com/"

Found a Bug! When selecting "Mark IV Red" in the "Quick Style Chooser" at the bottom of the page, it somehow disables the ability to get to the Registry. All other choices seem to work OK.

Ralphie

[RALPHIE]

Here's one - When selecting "Mark IV Red" in the "Quick Style Chooser" at the bottom of the main page, it somehow disables the Sponsors Link Ads at the top of the page, above the menu selections. All other color choices seem to work OK.

Ralphie

PS - I don't mind, as it allows the pages to load faster, but then again, I like to use those links to contact the vendors when necessary.

[Empty Pockets]

...yet another reason BLUE is the best color!:lol

[RALPHIE]

Here's another one - When selecting a person's name on a thread, to get the menu items:

View Public Profile
Send a private message to "Username"
Send email to "Username"
Find More Posts by "Username"

They do not appear when "Mark IV Red" is chosen with the "Quick Style Chooser."

Ralphie

PS - are the Mark IV Red issues intentionally created to harass Dr. Frank?

[fjpikul]

No, they were created to make RED the fastest user color. Keep messing with other colors and I'll start to doubt your sincerity.

[acheron800]

Why can't I post in the Ford GT for sale section?

[acheron800]

?

[DBK]

Are you selling a Ford GT?

[acheron800]

Are you selling a Ford GT?

Yes, and I cant post a for sale thread.

[BlackICE]

You probably have to be a certified FGT owner, subscribed member, or sponsor of the site to list for sale items.

[B O N Y]

Only $ubscribed/$upporting members can post in the for sale areas.
