Barbelo Valentinian The Scope Gallente Federation 114	Posted - 2011.11.02 12:01:00 - [1] - Quote OK, posts being eaten on "Post" I can live with. I've occasionally experienced it on other forums too, it's an occasional hazard of forum life. Select all and copy, I get it. But posts being eaten on "Preview" is JUST A BIT TOO ******* MUCH. Please sort. It makes me just not want to post. (Cries of relief from the audience; CCP wringing their hands in "cunning ploy" mode. Tinfoil hat on ).

Just copy it before posting or sending it to preview. That way if it gets eaten you can redo it in a matter of seconds. The old system used to eat them too.

All the others posts I've done I ctrl-c it before posting, just incase. I haven't managed to do a double post yet, not sure people do that.
Smoking Blunts Zebra Corp BricK sQuAD. 130	Posted - 2011.11.02 13:33:00 - [4] - Quote tbh im just sick of the whole you were ganked crap, plus the longer loading times swapping pages. CCP-áare full of words and no action. We will watch what they are doing, for now
Lord Ryan True Xero 74	Posted - 2011.11.02 13:36:00 - [5] - Quote Lagging like hell! Like button working sometimes. Dislike button missing. Get ganked every other page. We were Ganked! We'll counter-attack as soon as we properly outnumber them Go back to the previous page I want to fly a badass Mon Calamari stlye-ácruiser painted to match my Tron clothes.
David Grogan The Motley Crew Reborn 170	Posted - 2011.11.02 13:49:00 - [6] - Quote they also need to fix the bbcode parsing errors too but maybe the forum devs were on the recently layoffs list Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless your from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

Morganta Peripheral Madness The Midget Mafia 241	Posted - 2011.11.02 14:35:00 - [8] - Quote and lets not forget the threads that change position on the front page up to 5 minutes before the newest post gets published to the thread. I mean I never have seen that in over 20+ years of forum surfing, modding, and admining. The main thread index sees the post but the DB lags behind for an insane period of time before actually posting it to the thread or the post activity stars on the side that don't seem to relate to anything in particular Frankly I'm a bit cheesed that you guys fired the web staff while this abomination of a forum is in its current regrettable state. The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy

Its some kind of 'timer' issue, if you spend too long writing a post it will vanish. CCP please fix it. These forums get ganked too often as well.

I think I only remember losing one post. All the others posts I've done I ctrl-c it before posting, just incase. I haven't managed to do a double post yet, not sure people do that. Ok, valid point, but not very salient. Wait until you write a wall 'o text or decide you need to look up some information to validate what you're writing. The forum apparently doesn't have any function to keep your session alive when writing a new post. So you better get it done in whatever timeout period is involved. But wait, you also have the "ganked" issue to contend with that just compounds the problem. I'm thinking that they're running their forum on an old 486 somewhere and that it can't respond quickly enough to requests and that their proxy, somewhere on their tranquility cluster picks up where that old 486 fails. The fact is the forum wouldn't last a week if the users were required to pay for access. Oh wait, we do pay for access. Forum software is mature, well developed and in most cases works flawlessly minus intermediate problems that can't be attributed to the coding. This, however, is unacceptable. Why CCP have left it in this state with NO obvious improvements is another blemish in a long line of horrid customer service. Here, I've taken more than 5 minutes to write this so let me copy it so I can paste it again when the forum fails to post it. We want breast augmentations and sluttier clothing in the NeX!

David Grogan The Motley Crew Reborn 173	Posted - 2011.11.02 15:44:00 - [13] - Quote always use wordpad or notepad to write your long posts then copy n paste . this way u can do multiple long posts and not lose it all when the eve online forum feeds your post to the hamsters Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless your from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

IIS is a nightmare and slow as sin compared to Apache.

Sebero Sinak Eve Pilots Revolutionary Army 19	Posted - 2011.11.02 17:49:00 - [17] - Quote Your posts are not being "eaten" ...they are being rerouted to the forum signatures file. The forum signatures file is a direct link to the "circuler file". The circuler file is a direct link to Dark Matter where all input is transmuted into matter we can not see feel or detect.

Yeh it's odd that, I've seen people saying that before, but I really don't remember it happening on the old forums at all, and I used to take my time writing posts as well. Well maybe it did happen once or twice, but so infrequently it doesn't stick in my memory. Whereas this forum ... it's happening to a memorable extent.
