Saturday, January 31, 2004 at 11:47 PM Hey SV, I've been seeing something that might be a bug; Just a minute ago I loaded up the forum, and it showed 2 threads with new posts so I clicked on the first one and read the new addition, then I clicked "Forum" so I could go to the second new thread, but for some reason both the thread I had just read, and the other I hadn't read yet were marked as old (were grey) - instead of leaving the second unread thread marked as new (blue). I've seen this twice. Hopefully my description makes sense. | |

Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 12:34 AM All right, that does it -- I'm going to have to re-install Virtual PC on my Mac so I can see what Windows users are experiencing. (Heck, I should probably just buy a Dell or something someday...) But right now, I'm not exactly sober so a fix probably isn't forthcoming (I'm with Adam on liking the red wine :-) But thanks, Kevin. It is almost certainly a bug... I'm assuming just about everybody but me is using Internet Explorer on Windows? At least, that's what the site stats show. Although Mike (not-the-first) says he uses Netscape... whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist! (Anybody using Opera? Safari? Mosaic? Lynx? Cyberdog?) Okay, I'm going to stop writing right now before I embarrass myself still further... | |

Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 5:29 AM Mozilla? | |

Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 3:01 PM Mozilla? Aw, in my head, that's the same thing as Netscape Navigator. ;-) Kevin -- actually, this doesn't sound like what you are describing, but I thought I should mention it anyway... I've said that "new" messages are messages that were posted since your last visit, and everything else is "old". Well, the more technically minded of you may have wondered, what constitues a "visit"? As you may have discovered, if you log out and then log back in, that counts as a new "visit". But what if you never log out? And what if you checked "remember my login and password" so that you never have to login? A: There is a one-hour timeout. If you don't click on any forum links for one hour, you will automatically be "logged out". If you didn't select "remember login", this effect is obvious, because the next time you hit refresh or click something, your name will disappear from the top-right hand corner of the page; and, in order to post, you must log back in. If you did select "remember login", when you come back to your computer after an hour or more, you are still "logged out", but the instant you click something or hit "refresh", you are automatically logged back in. This updates your "last login" time and marks threads that haven't changed since you walked away from the computer as "old" -- even though, in some sense, you never left. Anyway, as I was waking up this morning, it struck me that one might see an effect similar to what Kevin describes if they were clicking links on a stale copy of the main page -- i.e., one that your browser loaded over an hour ago. But that doesn't sound like the bug Kevin is seeing :-( | |

Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 3:10 PM First off, great job, SV! Really nice work. This isn't a bug, really, but more of a question...is there a way to change our passwords after we've set up the account? Thanks. | |
| |
Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 3:50 PM Flatvurm - Check out the "Settings" link on the main forum index, there should be a password change form in there. | |

Sunday, February 1, 2004 at 11:32 PM Right you are, Kev. Thanks. :) | |

Monday, February 2, 2004 at 11:23 AM First, I'd just like to say that you rock SV, great job on the new forum. But I seem to have found a problem -- When I log on from somewhere besides my house, it does not seem to have saved my time zone, so it shows it as PST rather than EST. | |
| |
Monday, February 2, 2004 at 11:40 AM Oh, and my bad -- I should've posted this under "Bugs" =-P | |
| |
Monday, February 2, 2004 at 12:00 PM I'm pretty sure the time zone info is stored locally in the site cookie, so you would have to set it at each new location in which you view the forum. | |
| |
Monday, February 2, 2004 at 1:56 PM I'm not sure if this is a bug or if it's my computer, but when i use IE to view TLC it still has the old forum and old clip of the week in the main page and when i use netscape it's current and up to date. | |

Monday, February 2, 2004 at 2:03 PM Try clearing your cache(s). Also try CTRL+Refresh (CTRL+F5) | |

Monday, February 2, 2004 at 8:46 PM Kevin is correct; the time zone is attached to the machine, not your personal user settings. I figured people are more moble than computers (unless it's a laptop or something). Not that "Loveline" fans are jumping on transcontinental flights all the time... I was also thinking of multiple users sharing the same machine, in which case the time zone would only have to be set once. It seems like the time zone should be something that the browser passes along to the server when making an HTTP request, or maybe there could be a <time> HTML tag, which would enclose time in GMT, which the browser would format according to the user's local computer settings... but -- alas! -- I am not in charge of the WWW design committee or whoever decides these things ;-) And as you can see, I can rearrange messages into different threads rather easily :-) | |

Tuesday, February 3, 2004 at 11:19 AM Perhaps it would be possible to attach the time zone settings to the user preferences rather than store them in a cookie? | |

Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 11:30 PM None of the Sound bits will download. Error 404 on Both Opera and IE. I even tryed save target as... but it would only do HTML and no .mp3 it's not my stuff. I'm 95% sure of it. Bug? | |

Friday, April 22, 2005 at 1:04 AM MoreJelloPlease reported a similar problem recently (Sound & MP3 Problems?!). I'm especially perplexed by this error message posted by X da C:
Is this the kind of error message everyone is getting? Do the people who are having problems have any extra Internet software installed (e.g., Norton Internet Security)? Do none of the following links work for you? Also: Mac, Windows, or Linux? | |

Friday, April 22, 2005 at 10:08 AM All of them work for me. I'm using Windows XP. Wheee, that's a rhyme. I wish I could do that all the time. | |
| |
Friday, April 22, 2005 at 10:36 AM They all work for me, Mac OS. BUT, when the problem was first reported I got the same error message trying to download the clip of the week. I just assumed it was a bandwidth limitation - and they had been made unavailable. I tried a few hours later, and it was still down. Got the clip the next day with no problem | |

Friday, April 22, 2005 at 6:29 PM They didn't work for me. Windows XP. (HTTP 404 Page not found) | |
