CCP need to fix this madness sooner new players are moving on due to excess lag and unplayablility sure the taiwan earthquake has blown up 50% of asias internet bandwidth capacity but these issues are being reported worldwide.
Tomorrows patch will only fix some limited issues more nodes are needed and suggested hub fixes ie agent shifting ice belt removal etc need to have FOLLOW THRO not just lip service paid.

It still doesn't take away you have to log in a few times in a row to be able to post anything. I can understand the timer that disconnects you from the site though, security reasons and such.

Just to clarify here:
I'm not talking about the usual problems, such as logging in and out. I'm talking specifically about the garbled, mis-aligned text that appeared a day or two ago.

Ok, I talked to Garthagk about this, and he wants to know the following:
- Are these bugs reproducible, i.e. do they happen every time for you? - Have you tried clearing the cache in the browser? Do that and reload the page using shift+refresh and see if you still get the bug. That rules out cache issues.
It doesnt seem that everyone with IE 6 gets these bugs, because then we would have tons of posts about it.

WIll have a quick play and see. But they dont happen EVERY time.. ie that screenshot I posted simply refreshing my page fixed it. Other times it can take a couple of refreshes lol.
Will have a looksie and clear my cache etc in a lil bit.

Well, I noticed some changes on the forums... for the better! It's like CCP has updated the forum engine or something. Before you have this crappy popup where you had to write the word every time you wanted to apply bold or italic to a word or sentence. Now you just select the word and apply bold. I noticed this today. Same goes if you try to make a URL. Garthagk, have you been updating the software?

Regards.

What are you talking about?
I've seen forums that work that way (e.g. MMORPG.com's)... but I just tested it now, and the EVE forum posting interface hasn't changed at all

You're actually right. In Internet Explorer 6.0 (SP2) I get the same. Tags are applied to text that is selected with the mouse. In Firefox 2, which i normally use, you get the messagebox with "Enter the text you want bolded" (for example).

Hi - just trying to get this clear, so I can try to figure out what's up. You are seeing this only sometimes, but it happens in both Opera and IE6 and on your roommate's computer?
Do you know when it started - the date of your original post? About how much does it happen, 10%? 50%? Does it seem to only happen at certain times of the day? (Might be indicative of load...) Does it happen to any other web sites you visit, or only us? (And is it limited only to the forums, or does it affect the main www.eve-online.com pages too?)
Please provide as much information as possible. Of course, don't provide anything personally identifying here, just things relevant to the above questions or whatever else you think might be useful. Also, if anybody else is seeing this behavior, please post what's going on for you so I can try to corroborate things and build a good picture of what's going wrong.
At first glance, it seems like the connection is getting reset partway through us sending you the page, which would give you the garbled output. This could be happening anywhere along the chain, but given that it does not appear to be widespread (at least, I haven't seen a lot of reports) and also does not appear to be related to your computer or browser, it may be some sort of interfering proxy or over-zealous firewall between you and our servers.

just a /sidenote...
Taiwan's dec 26 earthquake didnt take out 50% of asia's foreign internet access, it took out 80%...
mostly makes up the reason why I cant join my corp in the fights they're having right now...
oh and small sidenote: what kind of idiot suggests to the ISP to reroute farther from the main hublines on land just to provide better "access"?
case in point: my normal hops after the quake were only 13, and this is on my isp's backup IPL. Now its topping at 26 hops, most of which drop my connection to TQ far more than the last one.
Logic lacking? Yes indeed
Oh on the side of worldwide internet access problems, blame the quake. Having the entirety of Asia drop off everyone's radar unexpectedly can cause connection issues all over the place, since its not only us asians that use the network some people have to go through someone else's country to get to a website you know...

Unfortunately yes, I have tried it on numerous computers and with numerous browsers. Judging from the response here, it looks like it affects a small percentage of forum users, since other people in this thread that have the problem see the same exact stuff I see.
The problem started a few days before my original post. While the severity of the problem varies with each load of a webpage, there is almost always something messed up upon each load. Sometimes its so messed up I have to refresh a few more times just to be able to read the page. I havn't noticed a pattern of time of day, since it is almost always happening to me. I have not seen this problem on any website unfortunately, only eve sites. At first glance, it appeared to be only the forums, and not eve-online pages, but upon further surfing it does happen on main eve-online pages (i was browsing the backstory and faq to test it out). My guess is since on the forums there are so many more tables and formatting the problem is a lot more obvious.
If there is anything else I can do that can help just let me know. Perhaps emailing you a trace route or anything more specific you may want to know. I know there are other people out there experiencing this as well, hopefully they will respond as well. Thanks Again!

Edited by: Rakeris on 12/01/2007 21:04:28 I've had similar things happen occasionally. Like sometimes most of the page won't load correctly, it will be misaligned. Similar to some of the screen shots posted before. It doesn't happen that often for me. Don't have any screen shots though. I use Firefox 2.

I have little to add besides the fact that I'm experiencing the exact same thing. As best as I can tell, transfers from the myeve server and the image server are randomly getting corrupted, resulting in garbage text in the HTML for a page which causes the browser to do odd things, and images end up corrupted to when those transfers get bad data. It's occurring in spite of what browser I use, and seems to happen on just about every page, requiring a refresh until the corrupted HTML doesn't completely screw things up.
Example of a bad piece of HTML:
<td class="mbForum" align=left valign=middle width="10"><A href="?a=topic&threadID=430608"><img border="0" src="/images/icon_folder_locked.gif" alt="this thread is locked"></a></td> <td class="mbForum" align·¦óE-±#4í3£Hq ùßSGǦt¿"äÇQ*&û+UL>Fef¦B%PÆû(¦¦_GEdéÑ52-+-!Q9¦GBp-ground-image: url('/images/icon_bg_devpost.gif'); background-repeat: repeat-y" ><b>Sticky:</b> <A href="?a=topic&threadID=430608">Improved Scanning</A> </td> ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic |

firefox has it's own issues with the eve forums. I t keeps spamming me with "cannot find the phonebook entry for this so and so" It does it randomly also, so you can be browsing the forums, switch back to eve, go chase somebody down in 0.0 45 mins later, and you start to engage, then *bbep* you get kicked out of eve so that firefox can tell you it can't find the damn phone book entry for something while you frantivaly switch back to eve so you can activate nice things like weapons, and hardeners.

(Back from the weekend's festivities, Garth dives back into the forums...)
Alright. Do any of you who are experiencing this problem know how to get a packet capture of your connection with our servers? Also, traceroutes? If you can do both of these together, then that will help me determine what is going on and where it's coming from. Specifically, it's really, really weird that you're getting the first part of the page, something garbled, and the rest. I really want to know what that looks like at the packet level.
If you don't know what a packet capture is or how to get it, but would be willing to provide one, I can post instructions for how to do it in a way that won't compromise other traffic on your machine or network. I'll keep watching the thread, so please let me know.

I'm afraid I can't get you a traceroute(crazy Uni router blocks ICMP), but I'd be more than glad to help out with the packet capture. I don't know exactly how to do it, but I assume it has something to do with WinPCap? ---- AUS Corp Lead Megalomanic |

Yeah, the library is WinPcap, but you don't use it directly. The program I use is called Ethereal:
http://www.ethereal.com/
Disclaimer: While I've used this program many, many times in the past, I can't promise it will work for you and won't do something nasty to your system. It's good software, but as always, be careful what you download.
If you do decide to download and install it, you will end up with an icon for it. Go ahead and launch it. You end up with a big gray window that is definitely not very user-friendly.
1) click menu Capture, then Options (or hit Control+K)
2) select your interface for your network card from the Interface dropdown
It should say something about Ethernet or being a NIC. Avoid anything that says VPN, "virtual", WAN, or dialup. It should be pretty obvious which one to choose, if you know what kind of network card you have. If you don't, or if you have more than one, this may take a few tries. If you don't get any results in the below steps, try it on a different interface.
3) turn OFF "capture packets in promiscuous mode"
4) type the following in the "capture filter" box:
tcp port 80 and host myeve.eve-online.com
That instructs it to only capture HTTP traffic (TCP, port 80) that is between your computer and the server located at myeve.eve-online.com - which is the forums part of the web site.
5) click on "Start"
At this point another window should pop up. It will have a bunch of rows of 0s at the moment.
6) go to your web browser and go to the forums, now surf around until you see the problem. it is better to do more surfing rather than less as that will give me more data to work with.
7) now go back to Ethereal, you should see the TCP line has some number there and a 100%. this means it has caught a bunch of packets that match your query.
8) click Stop
9) you should see a bunch of data now. click around if you're curious, especially look for things that say "GET" in the Info column. if you click one, then in the bottom pane you can click the little + by "Hypertext Transfer Protocol" and see the actual text your browser sent to our servers
10) now go to File, Save (or hit Control+S) and save this somewhere you can find it
11) perfect! now close out of Ethereal and email the file to my dev name at isd.eve-online.com (so garthagk@, you get it. damn spammers).
Okay. I hope that's a relatively straightforward set of instructions. If at any point you decide you are uncomfortable sending in the packet capture, or using Ethereal, then please don't! This is purely voluntary. I do appreciate your time to help debug this!

Edited by: Saint Battalion on 16/01/2007 01:42:27 I don't know anything about network stuff all I can tell you is what I'm experiancing
Its like the page isn't fully loading (get garbled text, stuff not alligned ect..) first request the page is unreadable, hit refresh and its readable but not alligned, 3rd refresh usually fixes it and everything looks fine.
Exactly the same on my 2 desktop PCs and wireless laptop, all running IE7.
Oh and its not just the forums, its the whole site.

Its actually named promiscuous mode when a network card listens to everything on the network. Proves that even network engineers have a sense of humor.  --- Eve Wiki | Eve Tribune |

Update:
OK the Ethereal site is down! Garthagk, can you suggest an alternate?
All EvE sites continue to be screwy, but today are loading much slower than usual as well.
EDIT: I found an ethereal link here: http://www.openxtra.co.uk/downloads/ethereal-download.php

The forums have been awful for me. I seem to get the problem often. I sent the capture to you. It is full of errors. The checksums are incorrect for almost all of the packets. Strange stuff.
me to them, tcp 1365 > http [ACK] seq=1 ack=1 win=65535 [tcp checksum incorrect] len=0 checksum: 0x417a should be 0xaed9 me to them, http get /ingameboard.asp? http/1.1 checksum: 0x454c should be 0x8c68 them to me, http [tcp previous segment lost] continuation or non-http traffic them to me, tcp [tcp out-of-order] [tcp segment of a reassembled pdu]
So it's obvious to me that your tcp is out of order and someone took apart your power diagnostic unit and tried to reassemble it.

Maybe this is the reason the forums are slower for me too... I dont get any browser errors, but the rendering is much slower. Maybe its because my browser requests the page again and again or something... just guessing here.

The 'tcp checksum incorrect' message is caused by Checksum Offloading and can be safely ignored.
When Checksum Offloading is activated, the network card calculates the checksum instead of the operating system. This speeds up networking when a lot of data is being transferred.
Because the network card calculates the checksum instead of the OS, Ethereal is unable to get that checksum. As Ethereal can't see if that setting is enabled or not, it displays the message. ______________________________ Real-time EVE Stock Exchange, Blog |

Hey, for the first time since I started using IE 7 last year, all the images in the player news center are displaying correctly 
Layout is still off, but it's an improvement.
Edit: Unfortunately, still non of the links on the right hand side of the site are working, all I get is "page not found"

Funnily enough, the same problem that's being reported with the Eve forums, is the same one I get when browsing the Yahoo news pages.
It's always connected to loading images (in Yahoo's case, the flash advertisments, in Eve's case it appears to get stuck on people's signature files).
The cynic in my can't help but wonder if it's a bug introduced by Microsoft to get ppl to upgrade to IE7 ************************************************

Still having problems but not nearly as bad. Emailing new capture taking into account the issue Labogh pointed out. The abnormalities look kind of like: ... ... Forum -> me, http, TCP previous segment lost me -> forum, tcp, 3194> http [ack] forum -> me, tcp, [tcp retransmission] ... ... forum -> me, http, [tcp previous segment lost] continuation or non-http traffic me -> forum, tcp, [tcp dup ack 21#1] 3194> http forum -> me, http, [tcp fast retransmission] me-forum, tcp, 3194> http [ack] me->forum, tcp, [tcp window update] 3194 > http [ack]
Anyway, this problem still exists. No feedback on issue. Assuming the issue is being looked into? |

I'm using IE 7.0 and I'm not seeing the screwy things in the screenshots that have been posted here. However, for the last few days I've been getting no character portraits at all. I only get a red X that indicates a bad image link. It happens 100% of the time. If I right click on the image placeholder and view its properties it shows an image URL that points to an image that doesn't exist (404 error). ---
Fixed. Sorry Devil. |

Its a pretty big problem when your main page has the potential to not display correctly and drive away potential customers.

Click on topic. Text way off to the side or below the side bars. Reload page. Ok now the topic is readable.
You do realize this is still going on CCP right? Have 0 problems with any other web sites. Downloads have no trouble. Look into this please.

I'm not sure I can take much more of this, sometimes takes 4-5 reloads to get the page loaded.
All the pages on eve-online load with everything out of alignment, links broken, pictures look al wierd, ect...
Anything we can do as a temp fix?
