After 20 odd years on site I missed looking every morning.

I think we now count as a OAP in internet terms!

Very seasonal, ups and downs in traffic, but here  :coffee2:

Glad it is back up and running, but photos still don't work.

I know some photos are missing, but new are working,

Can you see the photos on this message

https://www.allotments4all.co.uk/smf2.1/index.php/topic,83530.msg840305.html#msg840305

Still trying to work out where the missing are, and which are missing.

Should be back online - an index had dropped of the database during a DB upgrade.

Yes thanks Dan, the new photos are fine.  Hope the old ones can be retrieved too.

Another issue is that I get a 'your session has timed out' every time I press the post button.  Then it suggests I post again and it works with the second click.  Not a big deal but slightly annoying having to click post twice.

Thanks very much, Dan,for your hard work.
Some of the old photos for the seed circle are precious as they will be transferred to a database for ease of reference. Is there any chance of retrieval?
Have we lost the function for new posts since last visit?
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 01, 2024, 20:11:57
Haven't given up on retrieving the old photos, looks like a filesystem error on the old server, I am persevering.

And under where it says allotments4all at the top of the screen there should be an unread posts link?

Thanks

Post by: JanG on December 03, 2024, 06:43:31
Good luck finding the old photos. Fingers crossed.

Yes, certainly there is an unread posts link. But unread posts doesn't do the same job as new posts since last visit as there may be lots of old unread posts one doesn't wish to read!

Unread posts since last visit was always my starting point. In fact though, having just tried it, unread posts does only throw up recent ones so perhaps it will work well that way.

Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 03, 2024, 09:27:40
May have a way forward with the pictures, they all still exist, just the reference has become 'confused'

and yes the link at the top defaults to unread since your last visit  :happy7:
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 03, 2024, 12:14:43
The images should all be returned  :icon_cheers:

Let me know if you spot any missing  :coffee2:
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: galina on December 03, 2024, 17:16:49
Thank you Dan  :sunny:    And only one click needed for posting. 
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: JanG on December 03, 2024, 19:55:24
Great stuff. Many thanks. All seems to be working perfectly now and we have an appealing new look too.
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: JanG on December 04, 2024, 07:06:39
I think we've lost the ability to like a post. At least I haven't found it - which isn't quite the same as it not being there.
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 04, 2024, 08:01:57
Definitely haven't just added the Like feature ...

Not quite the same as before, bit more basic I'll see if it can be enhanced.
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: BarriedaleNick on December 04, 2024, 12:16:10
I still can't like posts - maybe a different view for mods??
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 04, 2024, 13:09:34
Hmmm will check
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 04, 2024, 13:47:15
Like / Unlike links should appear like this ...
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: peanuts on December 05, 2024, 06:27:17
I never use like or unlike feature, but on our computer, it appears as normal, under each post.

Yes, it's there. Great. I think perhaps perfection has been achieved!
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: BarriedaleNick on December 05, 2024, 09:07:25
Seems to be there now!
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: JanG on December 07, 2024, 07:29:57
One further question, hopefully the last. Is it possible to see who has liked one's own post?
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Palustris on December 07, 2024, 08:28:55
Not that I use Like, but I cannot see it anywhere.
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 07, 2024, 20:16:44
Whoops - slight hiccup this evening ...
Title: Re: Back on line again!
Post by: Admin aka Dan on December 12, 2024, 09:07:37
And again - disk space issues due to logs, now tracked down and resolved ...

It's always DNS or the logs (joke for IT people)
