It would appear weird things happening with the forum. Some having difficulties with accessing the site, some having difficulties posting.

I can post to some threads, but I cannot respond to Expert Textpert in this thread: 

https://www.beatlesbible.com/f…..spPostForm

using my computer. I’ve tried Chrome, FF, and IE.

I can reply to that thread on my Android phone. Any suggestions for how to get that thread working again on my computer?

EDIT: In case it helps, here’s what I see when I try to post to that thread:

Forum not set – Unable to create post

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/bbfuture/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/simple-press/sp-api/sp-api-primitives.php:59) in /home/bbfuture/public_html/wp/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 896

Oooh, that warning has reared its head after appearing a week or so back. Joe will be pleased, he was hoping he’d get the opportunity to fix it but didn’t feel one occurrence justified it.

Ok, why has the link colour changed to bright blue, wait, they have returned back to the normal dark purple after editing this post. Hmm. Strange days.

That’s right. Glad you reminded me of that conversation. Poor Joe. I didn’t let him keep his fingers in his ears for very long.

Joe, let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. Cookies and milk perhaps?

I’ll look into that issue when I get a chance.

Some users have reported being blocked from the site since I changed hosts in early Jan. This was due to an overactive security measure put in place by my hosting company. I’m told it was blocking more legitimate users than spam attempts, so it’s been disabled now. If anyone has any further problems send message to me (joe at beatlesbible dot com) and I’ll do what I can.

EDIT: I’m testing out another caching plugin, to make things work better for most visitors. It shouldn’t cache anything if you’re logged in, so you should see the latest versions of everything. What’s more, the forum and homepage shouldn’t be cached at all for anyone. If you spot anything that’s painfully out of date please let me know.

On my PC, when I have FF open WIDE, the regular (non-Santa hat) pictures of the Fab Four are showing. When I shrink the screen, I see the Santa Hats again. Is this just something that will take care of itself over time? If, not, I wanted to let you know, Joe.

EDIT: This only happened on my office PC, not the one at the reference desk. So, well, whatever. My office computer must still have a blue-meanie at work in it.

It’s because the image is cached in your browser. When you see the Santa hats, hold down shift, keep it held down and refresh your browser. If that doesn’t work follow these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en…..efox-cache

I’ll do just that when I get back to my office computer tomorrow. I’m at our branch campus today. I use so many computers and devices to access the site. Hey, yeah, I’m addicted. heart

Forgot to post this. 

Tried to reply to a PM on my ipod on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Wrote the text out but no way of sending, the button to send had vanished so had to give up. No idea why or where it had gone?

Don’t know whether anyone else is getting this, but when wandering logged out, I have started having a “Warning: Unresponsive Script” box pop up with the following message –

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

I got that a while back but a refresh of the page brought it back to normal. Haven’t seen it since.

That’s my fault. I’ve been tinkering with trying to speed up the site. One thing that can help is combining various scripts which control page layout etc, and I think it was caused by that. It broke the page in Internet Explorer anyway so I disabled part of it, but do let me know if you see the error again.

Something i’ve noticed over the last couple of hours is that when quoting a post with an icon/smiley the code is displayed not the icon.

It’s still happening when logged-out. For the past few hours, it’s happened every time I’ve gone from one page to another.

I’ve noticed that, too.

My ____ topics with unread posts will say one number (let’s say 9), but when I click on the icon to read them, there will be 12 – the 3 extra being ones I’ve already read. Is that just me?

Nope. Thought it was just me going senile.

Now, when logged out, the main page is showing recent posts, but you click on them – as I have done with both posts above, and they’re not showing up. I clicked on this thread a couple of minutes ago logged-out, and the last post showing was mine! Even though AG’s was over an hour ago, it wasn’t showing until I logged in!

I am getting weirdness all over the place. The script thing has become sporadic. Now though, logged in, it keeps showing 2 unread PMs (both received today, one from Zig and one from fabfouremily, both read). In a thread, and logged in, I press “fab forum” and it takes me to the main menu, but shows me as logged out, but I press to enter another thread, when I arrive on that page, I’m logged in again!

I have no idea what is going on!

The “unread posts” thing is insisting that i havent been in the News thread and read the new posts, even after i go in the news thread and there is nothing new. two-virgins 

Edit.

Ok, i selected mark all read, i’ve logged out, been elsewhere, came back 35 mins later, logged back in and its back to informing me that there is an unread post in the News thread when there isn’t. I think its trying to break me mentally.

In one of my PM threads with wetsroosa, I can only see his posts in the thread. Strange, one-sided conversation :-)

I checked some of my other PM threads, and they aren’t doing that to me. This little exercise did teach me that mine and mmm’s avatars look really nice together when smaller and close together like pictures are in a collapsed PM list. The fleshy pink of the Beatles faces and dark surroundings go well with Paul’s pink shirt and relatively darker surroundings. There is a little bit of that effect when young John’s face is showing in TheOneBeatleManiac’s avatar.
