Forum software upgrade on Monday

[U2Lynne]

I'm going to be updating the forum software on Monday. This means that the site will be closed to viewing and posting for a couple of hours. The tracker should continue on since I'm not doing anything to it. However, I will be doing some database changes during the upgrade and so it may make the database unavailable for a little bit which may cause the tracker to spit out an error. That should correct itself the next time your bittorrent client tries to contact the tracker.

After the upgrade, I'm sure there will be things that decide to not work or cause errors. I tried to be on the lookout for them when practicing the upgrade on a test site, but I'm sure there are a couple of things I missed. This thread is to be used to list any small problems that occur after the upgrade. Some modifications I did to this site early on that no one (or hardly anyone) uses will not be carried onto the upgraded site.

List of things I need to fix:
- if you use Quick Reply, your stats look like they are zeroed out after you submit the post. You can do a refresh on the page and they will reappear
- torstats page isn't working
- banners page isn't working
- I'm not sure if the tracker cleaner is working - I think it's fixed
- allow searching for 'who'
- add last 10 list of torrents/vines/b&ps to member page
- add TTD trader in postbit
- main page clientscript error / cron job error
- cron jobs!!!!

Do we need to sacrifice a small animal or virgin to ensure a smooth transition?

thanks for the heads up :)

may the phorce be with you..... and also with all of you.

thanks lynne

Getting this message

when trying to logon to main site. ---Kurt

Forgot to add a big Thank You for everything you do!:)

[U2Lynne]

Mr. Wolf, what did you do there?

Oh, that whitelist thing I've seen people talk about.... let me go see about that.


STG header will have to wait. I seem to recall that it's a background image. For now I just put it there.

[direwolf-pgh]

Mr. Wolf, what did you do there?
i created & deleted a post.

also check out the front page torrents when u get a sec. :)

[U2Lynne]

Well, you aren't supposed to do that.... you mean you deleted it the *real* way or the, um.... other way?

Oh, maybe it's a template thing I need to correct. Later....

[U2Lynne]

i created & deleted a post.

also check out the front page torrents when u get a sec. :)
How on earth...???

It's only the front page.... maybe a cache thing? At least it doesn't say that some of them were mp3s!!! I wonder if it's related to the whitelist thing....

[KPO]

I don't even know how to explain it there is some very weird sh*t going on. I just UL'ed a Aerosmith show and it did not have the normal "you must DL your own torrent.....Click Here" at the top of the page so I tried it down below, as just a normal DL and ended up in a forum? I think, Just a msg from someone want silver DVD's

Anyway I'm confused and the Upload I was trying won't work


Thanks

[trustthex]

lol. dont worry about it, you wanted a list of things that were broken. i just happen to like the ol' stg theme.

good luck bug squashing! :headbang2

[U2Lynne]

Hey KPO, it ended up on our test site, which is why you don't see it. I've got some pointer wrong and I'm trying to track it down.

[Five]

hmm... the quick smileys are gone (I always liked those!)

also the 3-d effect is gone from the purple bars

and some neato little moderation checkbox thingees I don't know how to use have appeared... :cool:

anyhow, I guess I mean to say no serious differences that I've noticed on my end yet.

the 3d effect is the style. if you go to your CP you can change to style2 for what you are after.

ohh.... there are all kinds of neat toys now.

[U2Lynne]

I *think* torrent uploading is working now. At least KPO seems to have successfully uploaded a show.

And yes, I realize if you use the regular Quick Reply, after you hit post, it looks like your stats are zeroed out. However, hit Refresh and they will be back. I'll work on that later also.

[KPO]

Hey KPO, it ended up on our test site, which is why you don't see it. I've got some pointer wrong and I'm trying to track it down.

Everything is fine now....actually better that fine I think the menu changes are fantastic:clap::clap::clap::clap: :wave:

my CP works. also used another login and it worked there also. FWIWtake that back. snow storm here too for first 7 links. the rest work except the last three.

[U2Lynne]

Yeah, it works on the test site, but not here. Same files - I just recopied them. Time to go look at the error_log.

[dcbullet]

Haha, good description.

[U2Lynne]

OK, this is fucked.... the error on the User CP page is because of a missing ")". But, I put it in and the server loads fucking shit. *And*, it still doesn't work on the site. So, something is up there and I'm just gonna have to work it from a different direction.

[U2Lynne]

Yeah, it works on the test site, but not here. Same files - I just recopied them. Time to go look at the error_log.
Yikes! Wrong. It doesn't work on the test site either - same freak out of the server loads.

I'll see if the default one will work.

[U2Lynne]

OK, profile page taken down until I can figure this out. Everytime someone hits it, it goes into some loop or something and I can't work on it.

[Five]

the 3d effect is the style. if you go to your CP you can change to style2 for what you are after.

ohh.... there are all kinds of neat toys now.

thanks I got it now:thumbsup

maybe 3d should be default? anyhow no biggie at all

I also found the smileys :D

and I got the snowstorm on the first 7 in the cp as well

still exploring...

[U2Lynne]

Just don't go to the profile page!!! Or try to. actually, it's removed right now. Something would happen when someone tried to hit it and the server would freak out.

[Dylan]

When trying to view torrent stats it comes up with a blank page??

when u reload it says done but its empty

Dylan

[possessed]

Guess we should have sacrificed that virgin after all. :disbelief

[U2Lynne]

Hehe. Yeah, I guess. Now I'm afraid to ever put that page back on the server!

[U2Lynne]

OK, I'll silently say in this thread that the profile page is back up. I actually *may* know what happened, but I'm not gonna test it out. That page is now all default.

[fubar]

all is well.

[U2Lynne]

All right, I also know the torstats page won't load. I swear, it was.... don't know why not now.

[saltman]

quick links > banners list . doesn't load also.

There is a second bread crumb at the bottom of the pages now. Don't know if it's supposed to be there. Or if it was always there. :hmm:

[U2Lynne]

There is a PM preview like I had before, which happens to be a hack. It is the default hack template which is different than how I did it before which is probably why you notice it now.

Yeah, I added that forums drop-down because James asked if it was possible. I'm still getting used to it.

[U2Lynne]

There is a second bread crumb at the bottom of the pages now. Don't know if it's supposed to be there. Or if it was always there. :hmm:
It was there before. Although maybe it was below the Quick Reply before? I can't remember. But, it is a hack that I used before and I liked it so I installed it again.

[maurionfire]

hey I have a "tracker sending invalid data: <NULL>" is that common?

[paddington]

not really.. can you tell us exactly which torrent it is so we can try it out and see if we can replicate the problem, please?

[paddington]

It was there before. Although maybe it was below the Quick Reply before? I can't remember. But, it is a hack that I used before and I liked it so I installed it again. I like it down there so I can see what forum I'm in w/o having to scroll back up. :thumbsup

[Daken]

I used to be able to search for "The Who" (including the quotes). Now, nothing seems to come up.

[paddington]

yes it doesn't seem to like that anymore - maybe it is looking for the phrase WITH the quotes?

ANyway, you can get what you need by using the advanced search with these params:
Key Word(s): who ; Forum: Music Downloads and child forums

That wil filter the junk for you.

[LvDMB2]

Not sure if this is a problem due to changes 2 torrents are saying tracker sending invalid data <null>

As for "The Who"... I forgot that I need to delete the word "who" from the list of illegal words that vbulletin has.... somewhere. I gotta find that file.

Let me try it again and get specifics.

Is there any reason that I keep getting logged out? I've had to log in 4 times in the last hour and a half. :hmm:

[door71]

I have always clicked on the link, then chose open file and it always went to the Azureus download page. I used to get a pop up telling me the download has been added to Azureus........now I'm not.

[U2Lynne]

Make sure when you login you check the box to stay logged in. (vbulletin did something with the cookies and other security features in this update)

OK, so this time, you click the attachment and you aren't getting a pop-up at all? Is this on every torrent or just that one? Also, do a force refresh on that page and see if it helps.

Downloaded them yesterday prior to the upgrade or after the upgrade? Once it is on the desktop, can you double-click to start it? You may have to look in your browser preferences and set something to open up Azureus. I changed the name of the script that downloads your torrent file. It used to be called "downloadtor.php" and now I am using the regular "attachment.php" file to download.

If you continue to have problems, can you give me a link to the thread so I can check some stuff out. Also, are you downloading from the same IP that you are posting from?

I figured this one out.... you are already seeding 10 torrents which is the limit allowed.

Note to self: I need to put the S/L/C back on that list.

Is this only on that one torrent, or on all torrents? Can we get a link to the thread? What OS and what browser? I am pretty sure this is a browser thing, but we'll figure it out.

(Just FYI, I'm on a Mac, OX10.4.11, firefox)

I can't open an odt file. I'm not sure what it even is. Can you make it a jpeg or something and then just attach it here. Also, what OS and what browser are you using?

I restarted apache yesterday when I was having the profile.php file problem, so it probably re-evaluated how many torrents you were on and wouldn't let you have more than ten. If you were originally downloading the show and then just leave it seeding when you complete, it doesn't kick you off even if you are over your ten seeding quota.

you actually have 10 torrents running, according to the tracker.. maybe that hit the threshold and caused it to stop sending data in the acks? Not that that is what is should do.. but maybe related to the 10 torrents thing?

What kind of upload speeds do you get? I know I only get 75 and in order for my speeds to do anyone any good, I just pick three needy torrents to upload to. That gives each of them 25 up. A couple of those torrents you listed have no leechers, so you can't be uploading to them at all.

Hello,

I use the "First Post Date" option as the Default Forum Sort Order in my userCP however it no longer seems to be working. I save this option but the video forum still displays in the Last Post order. Other than this, I seem to able to get around the site with no problems and it does seem to be loading a lot faster. :thumbsup

[aikox2]

I also use 'First Post Date' as my thread order default, and it no longer works. It may be listing by Last Post, but it certainly is not working correctly.

Hopefully that will be corrected; I find it very useful to see the most recent posts/uploads whenever I return to a forum. I don't want to see anything old - I already have ; )

Thanks for the upgrade, and TIA for working out the bugs.

[U2Lynne]

First Post Date.... OK, now I understand what you guys are talking about. It was an old hack that I never used and I totally forgot about it. I've gotta go find my old code for it (hopefully I saved it somewhere).

[trentnaka]

I just uploaded a torrent and when I downloaded and started to seed I get a "bad data from tracker" error. I'm seeding and connected to peers, so all seems good that way. I tried opening and seeding a torrent I downloaded a few days ago and get the same error message. Everything works at the other sites I use, so something seems to be wrong with the tracker here:hmm:

[U2Lynne]

I see you on the Peers List, so that is good and means the tracker is aware of you. Are you seeding from the same IP that you just posted from? Have you ever got that error before? "bad data from tracker" is a very generic error and could mean a ton of things, so I'm not sure what to suggest here. We didn't do anything to the tracker yesterday. The only changes are the forum software which uploads and downloads the torrent file itself.

[l1bertas]

I'm also getting the "bad data from tracker" error'. My down load has stopped downloading even thouh I'm only at 67.7%.

[saltman]

The hack that changes the format of posted email addresses isn't converting them to the xxx ( at ) cccc (dot ) com. or however it went before.

[U2Lynne]

I tried BitLord instead of BitTornado and the error message went away.
Actually, the problem got fixed and there is no need to change over to BitLord. I would strongly NOT recommend going to BitLord since it pounds the tracker and you may find yourself banned from the site (automatically) because of the pounding.

I hope so too. As one who checks in constantly, it makes it simple to see what has been poste since my last visit. I imagine many people used this feature.

It looks like I'm gonna have to rewrite this hack since I can't find it anywhere. It allowed you to pick a default sort order in your User CP for all the forums, correct?

In the meantime, you can go into the forum and on the bottom you may select "Thread Start Time" and hit "Show Threads" and it will put them in order for you. Or, you can go to the torrents page and see them all also: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/torrents.php?tor=list

When I try to upload a torrent with µtorrent, there is no upload torrent button. I see only this text:

Valid file extensions: Please only attach a single torrent file to this post. If you wish to attach images, do so in a separate post. Thank you.

The text is there before I try any uploading.

[U2Lynne]

I'm not sure how utorrent comes into play here, but if you hit the Go Advanced tab on the Quick Reply here, do you see the Manage Attachments button where it should be? Have you tried doing a Force Refresh on the upload page?

[U2Lynne]

You know what, this one is on our tracker from you recently "km2007-07-15.stc9000.sbeok.flac16.torrent" You probably started to upload it and stopped and perhaps that is causing problems? I've removed it so perhaps you are OK now.

[quadrophenia]

There is still no upload torrent button on the upload page. And since hours there is no upload on TDD.

[quadrophenia]

I started to upload Depeche Mode and stopped. "DEpeche Mod Crocs 1981"

[U2Lynne]

There is still no upload torrent button on the upload page. And since hours there is no upload on TDD.
You must have seen the button at some point in the last 22 hours cuz that is when you uploaded that torrent onto the tracker. I've since removed it from the tracker. So, do a Force Refresh of the page to get it to completely redo that whole page again. Don't just go to the upload page, you need to force it to refresh.

And, if that doesn't fix it, can you tell me if the Manage Attachments button shows up in the Go Advanced tab for you.

[quadrophenia]

I refreshed the page several times but it doesn't help. The Manage Attachments button shows up. Same problem on the upload video torrent page. I never uploaded a video torrent.

I refreshed the page several times but it doesn't help. The Manage Attachments button shows up. Same problem on the upload video torrent page. I never uploaded a video torrent.
So the button showed up this morning (or yesterday) but now won't? I haven't done anything to that page, that's why I am trying to figure this out. And I hate to ask this again, but you did a Force Refresh, not a regular refresh, right?

Hey quadrophenia, there is a thread about this issue here: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49922 I finally understand exactly what you are talking about and I'm working on the problem (although I must say that this issue is pissing me off big time!).

i'm not sure if it's related to the upgrade, or if the search function should now work this way, but i notice two things that weren't happening before (i used the advanced search page):

#1 "steely dan" (in quotes) ==> error - no matches

#2 immediately retry #1 without quotes ==> 30 second wait

related to #2, any search with no matches ==> 30 second wait

thanks!

The Steely Dan one is because of the word "Dan". It's too short and so you get an error. Try just "Steely".

And yeah, they changed the way the search works. It used to be if you got no results or you got an error, you could immediately search again. Now it makes you wait. It is the way it is supposed to work now. I'll put it on my list of things to look into. I would guess that someone has figured out a modification to get search back to the way it was.


edit to add: I just installed a hack to the search. If you input "Steely Dan", it should now simply remove the word "Dan" and continue your search.

I tried on another computer with Firefox 2.0 under Ubuntu-Linux 7.10 and have not the same problem, but a different (new) home page ?

Hi Lynne,
Thanks for all your hard work on this. One thing I noticed today.
My RSS feed is not updating the audio and video torrents anymore. It still does the other forums but the last torrent listed is the Dave Mathews video from 12/10 @ 21:10et.
I don't know how many people actually use this, just wondering if anyone else noticed this. Did you do an update on the 10th that may have affected it?

Due to the notice we got today to take down the Zeppelin torrent, we no longer allow non-members to view the Torrent forums. This is probably why you aren't getting an update in your RSS feed. Perhaps there is a way to put in a username/password for a site in order for it to work?

Hmmm, I'm not a linux user, so I really can't help with this. Perhaps you can open the console (Tools > Error Console) and see what the problem is?

Thanks Lynne,
That's probably it, I'll check it out.

I can no longer open torrents with Azureus. Each time I log in and try to open a torrent, I get "Open this file with Internet Explorer" with the file identified as "attachment.htm." Please help!

BTW, I've opened torrents successfully on other trackers. So this problem appears to be unique to this site, which has been my favorite torrent site. Bummer!

You might want to look at this thread: http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=49846

It is something set in your browser. When I upgraded the site, the name of the download file changed from downloadtor.php to attachment.php, so your browser used to be able to handle downloading the torrents when it had one script name, so it should be able to deal with this new script name.

Just a nitpicky thing -- I logged on, changed the page style from "snowflakes" to "rotating Banner", which worked, but it was like I hadn't logged on. When I re-logged-on, it said welcome slickdaddyo, but again it was like I hadn't logged on. I kept hitting "back" on my browser, and eventually was able to re-re-re-log-in. :)

With the old software, I was able to logon and NOT check the stay logged in button and everything would be fine for my session. However, they do sessions a bit differently now and I think you have to check that box or you may get told you need to login again when going to some pages or trying to download attachments/torrents.

Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about this new 'security feature'.

I can not search for U2 as it does not have 4 letters. Is there a way to fix or get around that problem?

Hello. I have run into a few problems:
1. I tried to find where to enable the 3d effect and couldn't find it in my CP.
2. When I try to open this thread http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48584&highlight=neil+young+echo
I get an error message:

1. What 3d effect?
2. That is because you used the word 'echo' which is a no-no. Our ModSecurity doesn't like it and I'm not going to allow that word in the exceptions.

First Post Date.... OK, now I understand what you guys are talking about. It was an old hack that I never used and I totally forgot about it. I've gotta go find my old code for it (hopefully I saved it somewhere).


Just wanted to say thank-you for all your work on this site and specifically for your work on restoring the "First Post Date" order feature that a few of us enjoy using so much. All your efforts are very much appreciated. Thank you again.

also the 3-d effect is gone from the purple bars
the 3d effect is the style. if you go to your CP you can change to style2 for what you are after.

Hello. I have run into a few problems:

I can't find where to change to style2 to enable the 3D effect either. Is this an option only available to mods?

Thanks

Just for you, I put it back in. It's called TTD Default - 3D.

Thanks Lynne! :clap:

Is there a way to make avatars 3D? :hmm: :D

that layout looks nice. changes the fonts quite a bit, but its sure easy to read.

It does? In what way? I didn't think I had any other changes in that style except the css.

[direwolf-pgh]

the username, forum headers & threads look bold. :hmm: maybe its just the color change
the fonts are black.

EDIT: yeah - its just the color change from blueish/purple to black. it looks nice either way.

Yeah, could be. It sounds like it is just changes in the css. I did look to see if there were any template changes and there were none. If it's just some fonts and colors and stuff, no big deal, I don't think. I see the changes in the navbar on the top, but I'm not sure where else you are talking about.
