Forum Update

Don't know if it's related to the new server, but when I try to edit a post it shows only a blank form.

I tried on Chrome and Safari and the behavior is the same.

I guess it's a good incentive to write the right thing but it would still be convenient to be able to edit. :)

Bernard

Is it every post or a specific post? For instance can't you edit THIS post above I'm quoting?

Also try this: Right click EDIT POST and click OPEN LINK IN NEW TAB (for chrome). For the post above this should take you in this URL:
https://www.audioshark.org/editpost.php?p=302670&do=editpost

How does that load for you? Blank or fine?

Lucky me; only 12 seconds to post my last one (#60) without double post.
But, I did have to click on "Post Quick Reply" twice.

EDIT: And this one went perfectly.

I had tried to edit 3 posts and faced the same issue.

For this one, surprisingly, I was able to edit.

Edit:... I tried to edit another recent post and it worked too. So maybe it's fixed.

I haven't followed this thread, so maybe this topic been discussed:

Unlike before the update, I now have to sign in every time I visit this site.

If someone can point out the error of my log-in, please do so.

This is not related to update. This usually happens when the cookie in your browser somehow got corrupted. There are 2 solutions :

1- You can use another browser (eg. if you use chrome, try logging in with firefox).

2- You need to delete the cookie in your browser. How you do that is different according to your operating system and browser so its not easy to describe here but you can google like "delete cookies manually in firefox v57 windows 7 professional"

BTW. cookies are set in the device you use, so if you use another device, the problem will also go away. Eg. if you cant login with your chrome browser in your desktop computer at work, chrome browser in your laptop will NOT be effected by this issue.
 
@Logician ...

Earlier today I experienced another double post; and my Chrome browser was stalling.
The only way to get out of the stall was to choose one of those two options ...
That message screen appears roughly after 25 seconds or so (it varies roughly between 20 and 30 secs).

I thought the problem with edition of posts was fixed, but I faced it again yesterday.

It seems to only occur when trying to edit long posts though, it works fine with posts of a few lines.

I have not been able to determine the number of characters beyond which it occurs, but it's somewhere between 7 and 20 lines of text. It seems pretty consistent.

When trying to edit a long post, the editing forms is empty.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Bernard
 
The funny thing with editing is that sometimes it shows an empty post.
Anything you type will automatically delete whatever was there but appeared invisible.
Lol

* Stay safe, make tons of music (money too), and get some stimulus if you lost your job.
If you are retired you are good to go, meaning you're rich but also most vulnerable. So listen to a lot of music @ home and be happy to stay distant from others (minimum 2 meters, and best to stay in the water...bathtub, swimming pool with chlorine, or fresh water lake, or salt ocean water ... in the summer). Fresh air is good, music is good, vitamin D, healthy food, diet, natural flavors, outdoors, healthy exercise...fishing, camping, canoing, paddling, golfing and chess (brain exercise for the mental equilibrium).

• Stay the distance
• Sanitize your hands with soap
• Respect ... Wear a mask

This world is the one we built for our grand grandchildren...be proud of what we're leaving them ... our hi-fi stereo sound systems with all our albums ... Madonna, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd, John Coltrane and Ozzy Osbourne. They'll most likely put all that stuff on eBay and stick with their iPods. With the money they'll be able to buy hires music downloads, and poutines.
 
[Activity Sream] -> [What's New?]
... @ the bottom left after scrolling to the bottom ... [More Activity] doesn't work anymore for me...today it has broken. No big deal I just use another avenue ... [New Posts]

I'm only mentioning as it is new from today; I just noticed it earlier and after few tries and just now again I can positively confirm that it is broken (for me).

* When you click on [More Activity] it brings me back to the top page, instead of showing the next past 30 activities (posts). This is the first time that it happens from my recollection of the past seven years.
 
Not sure what is going on now.

Up to 2 days ago I used to be able to cut and paste text and pictures - eg just spinning from another forum - now the picture comes up blank with IMG ??
You go in and add a picture and its the size of a small stamp - so you cannot see it.
