If you expeience any errors on the board, please post the error messages here, and what you were doing when you got it. Any links to threads where it occured and whatnot would help greatly.

Thanks for helping us keep the PokeGym trouble free!

Does that include the ones where the site seems to be entirely unavailable, and message pops up saying an email has been dispatched to the admin (something about a database error...)??? 'cause I've gotten that several times the past couple of days - from different computers (but all from the same home LAN).

okay, I just read the announcement - sounds like I might have hit the site during the DoS...

onederlnd
09/14/2003, 08:52 AM
Yeah, actually. Just say it was the "default" error, and tell me what you were doing when you got it. I'll get the error in email soon after, so I can find out the actual error message.

All I need from youa ll really is what you were trying to do.

Note: Please do not give messages about last night. I am aware of that. It had to do with the DoS attacks, and the host shutting the servers down temporarily.

I have a problem with some of the icons. With some of the moderators' icons, they look at little buggy and messed up. Was this from releasing the "icons that can be used by all?"

If by "icon" you mean avatar, that bug occured during maintenence a few weeks ago, and some haven't re-uploaded theirs yet.

The images used to represent "bold" etc. are not showing up. They are in this directory: http://www.pokegym.net/images/wpog/editor

Oh and my main purpose was to thank you for placing borders around the various tables. I was worried you were going to keep the borders off. Nice work so far with the current vbulletin update.

SOMEHOW the options in the database was heavily modified/deleted. So there were no available settings for the board.

You think you people are frustrated? I'm the one having to figure out what's wrong! And I get to hear all the crabbing about it being down, when there is unfortunately not much I can do at the moment.

To my knowledge the host has been attacked a lot lately by someone. They have had a lot of downtime due to this, and the mysql (the database) has been turned off frequently since that is what the user is attacking.

No way. Oracle is expensive, usable, but expensive. SQL Server is well... pure crap. Free does NOT mean it's bad. Infact, mysql and Apache are better than top notch servers.

Both Apache and mySQL are extremely stable, secure, and very easy to work with.

As for the recent downtime, I spoke with one of the owners of the company: Well we actually have never been down. It's mostly due to removing abusive accounts from the server. When an account is removed it has to restart apache, which causes HTTP to go down while it's restarting.

RainbowRichards

Both Apache and mySQL are extremely stable, secure, and very easy to work with.

I know that they are used on 80%+ of production web sites ;) (well, I know about Apache, less so about mySQL - but that's so 'behind the scene'). I know Oracle costs a ton... I know we are constantly patching our M$ products :(

you go to edit subscriptions in your user CP (top left), check all subscriptions you dont want, then at the bottom of the table click delete OK.

I'm not sure if this is an error or not, because i cant seem to remember. In the Anime Section, was there ever a scroll to the older threads? I dont see a page index of pages of threads. Is this how it's supposed to be? Thanks.

Oh, and is there a way to switch back to the old style of the forums. I remember there was a style chooser, but i cant seem to find it anymore. I want to go back to the old one where there were pokéballs up top for quick log out and quick links. Thanks again.

That style is long gone. With the upgrade of vB to gamma 7 came a new default layout and system. This new system is much easier to handle and maintain. All of the features, plus some, that were on that bar are still available in the top menu... just in a different form :)

BJJ came up to me about this a week or two ago. I'll just let you know the same thing. Our host has a 30 second limit on page loads. On long posts the 30 second limit is exceeded and times out. There isn't much I can do about this, since I don't have control over the server. I will speak with Mark about modifying it... see if he'll agree or not. If he doesn't, then we'll just have to make sure we don't make the posts excessively long.

It's because Arizona is wacky regarding how it observes or doesn't observe Daylight Savings Time.
Some parts of the state do, so don't, some go one way, some go the other .

Blizzard; I had nothing to do with the previous post by PokePop. :o /;)

Hmm. Several of us experienced some slowness/non-loading this (PDT) evening. Later some database errors showed up. We had some corrupted tables. You know, like when company comes over and spills on the dinner table, then no one wipes up for a couple days, causing a corrupted table. That happens occasionally in California because we are organic and natural. Now these are database tables, not dinner tables, and the host computer is not in California, so it wasn't the same thing, but you get the idea -- something was not right. I repaired the database tables because the database developers were smart enough to build a tool to do that and some other guys were smart enough to make a tool to easily use that repair tool. Load time and the (non-)appearance of database errors seem back to normal. Sorry if that explanation is too technical and hard to follow, I don't post in the RTC much.

Got this email from the hosing company for the PokeGym/Compendium server:

We are currently experiencing an issue with the hard drive. We are backing up data and preparing a drive swap on the server.

During this time, you may experience a slow server response time, or server timeouts.

We are working to fix the issue rapidly.

I don't know if this accounts for our outrages today, though.

Folks we added some security to the Gym tonite. So far, we've found that Norton Internet Security and Norton Personal Firewall default settings can prevent you from posting. For this site, http://www.pokegym.net/, follow the steps outlined in this support message from Norton:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/735050b77b1fcece88256bc7005c3bc6/b9b47ad7eddd343b88256c6b006a85a8

Sorry for the inconvenience. The new security prevents us from having a board shutdown to clean up trash from Malware that is now targeting vBulletin, our forum software.

Thanks to Master Hunter Zero for testing this fix and to SD Pokemom for providing the clue (as usual, eh?).

Okay, I have a slight problem and it is irritating me like crazy. I post on a thread and then hit suscribed threads on the box that comes down when you click quick links. But the box I posted on is still bold so I either accidently click on it later thinking a new post has been made, or I check the thread again. If I check it again, it goes back to normal. LMK if this can be fixed.

Every single image on pokegym is not working.(The icons,smilies etc.) Is anyone else have the same problem as I am? Also the boxes where you post have turned gray.

I hope the info below helps.

OK first off, let me dispel some rumors:

1. Old versions of Windows, including Windows ME, see the images as good as new versions.

2. You don't need to change browsers to see our images.

We turned on hotlink protection to make sure that people couldn't use our bandwidth and images via their web pages. We've just started adding graphical content and needed to do this to go forward with more.

So, what is wrong?

Your browser needs to pass the REFERRER information to our site.

The server now checks the referrer info to make sure you linked our image from our pages; if not, the image will not be served.

Some browsers can turn off referrer - this is considered a privacy feature. This way as you browse from site to site, the next site in the chain can't tell which site you were just on.

Also, some firewalls BLOCK transmission of the referrer, see these instructions if you use Norton Firewall/Internet Security:

http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nip.nsf/735050b77b1fcece88256bc7005c3bc6/b9b47ad7eddd343b88256c6b006a85a8

Otherwise, you'll have to find the referrer privacy feature in your browser and turn it off for the Gym's URLs which are http://pokegym.net and http://www.pokegym.net.

Is it possible to modify the search function to allow searches for words that are three letters or less? Sometimes I like to see how certain cards are used, but for the cards that are often abbreviated to that many letters, it doesn't work.

Water Pokemon Master

If you want to use something that is three letters long, use * after the word. Anything less than that I don't think will work.

There's currently a bug in the search function when searching by keywords. The only stuff that's coming up in the Search Results window is stuff that was either posted or edited since the server move. This makes searching for older stuff way more tedious than it was before. I thought it was a side-effect of the read-only period, but the read-only period's over and the problem persists. Only keyword searching is affected, username searching is working fine. I believe all forums are affected.

Keyword searching through the Advanced Search page, the quick search from a forum, and searching from within a thread are all affected by this bug. Only username searching, both from profile and the Advanced Search page, works as it should.

Can the keyword searching be fixed?

Apparently, when the server went down, all posts from that time period were deleted.

So is there a reason why, or is it truly an error?

Prime
11/30/2005, 05:56 AM
I doubt this is the right place to post this, but it can be moved if so.

This is more of a suggestion/idea.

I sometimes fall into a rare card and a lot of the time, I want to get rid of it so I can grab me something nice. But it's a pain to do so because even after I post it in my have list/ want list thread, the thread just falls to page 3 and nobody responds. I think it'd be awesome if I could actually search the trading forum for people who need the rare card I have. So when I need to trade my Groudon*, I can just do a search, everyone who has Groudon* in their want list thread pops up and I can contact each of them. That would speed up the process of getting rid of it and it would just be a lot easier than having to wait for people to reply. Seriously, how many people are going to go back 5 pages to my trade thread just so they can see what I have for trade? Not many IMHO. Sure, I could bump my thread, but everyone bumps their thread, so it all just cancels out really.

How could this idea happen?

Well, you could seperate the trade forum into two parts, have lists and want lists. People could then open up a search on the want lists for a card they own, then PM that person and start up a trade.

I don't know. I just feel it could be interesting if like I needed a scizor ex, I could search the have lists and bring up everyone with a scizor ex. Right now, if you try to do that, you get pretty much every thread because either someone offers a scizor ex, someone owns a scizor ex, someone wants a scizor ex, or someone doesn't want a scizor ex and declines the offer. You seriously can't sort through all that and find the people that might have a scizor ex for trade.

And you seriously can't sort through all the threads to find the people who want to trade for a groudon*.

If this could be acheived, trading would become so easy and so much more worthwhile. No longer would you have wait for people to see your thread and have to keep bumping it so that it stays active.

And really, I don't exactly how this could be achieved, but it would really help a lot.

Good idea, but here's my problem with it.

With one part having Haves lists and the other having Wants lists. It could be a problem going between the two. I wouldn't want to go from one to the other.

Nice idea, but it would be much harder to figure out big trades going from one list to the other. JMO.

Also when looking at the trading thread index, it says that Gatsu was the most recent person who replied, but when I go into my thread, it shows that I was the most recent person to reply to that thread.

On another note, when I click on Gatsu's name on the main index of the trading post, it jumps right to my public profile instead...

Also, whenever I make a reply to my thread, THEN I can see my new posts and new posts that other people made, but when I go back or exit the page and try to come back in, the same thing happens where it only shows my posts that I made yesterday... Here's the link to the thread that is having technical issues:

http://pokegym.net/forums/showthread.php?t=23543

Again I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I don't know who the webmasters are to contact regarding this problem....

When I visit User CP, and go down to Private Messages, "Send New Message" is listed twice on the list. Is that a bug, or am I just being too picky about having 2 chances to PM? :rolleyes:

The PokeGym has absolutely no viruses on it. Either your anti-virus program is detecting something incorrectly (as is the case in most cases) or your parents want you to stay away from this site for some reason and are using a virus as an excuse. :p

It's pretty obvious there are/were some kind of webhosting issues; several posts made last night (when about half the 'gym population were unable to access the board) are no longer here.

Attempts to ping or trace the route to the 'gym last night/this morning resulted in 'unable to resolve target pokegym.net' errors, not time outs/drops, so looks like it was on the host side...

And a webhost problem has nothing to do with any alleged 'virus'...

You BOTH spam/bump the threads, because you keep replying to her; if a thread is a spamfest, it gets locked, no matter WHO is 'responsible'.

If SHE was the only one posting spam, I'd just delete her posts. Take a look at your locked threads again: there's no actual CONTENT there at all other than the OP. Keep it up and you'll both end up with temp bans...

If you ignore her posts, there's no interaction/result from her spam, right? If she keeps spamming, she ends up with a temp (...or longer) ban.

If she...or anyone else...spams, REPORT the post...just as you would (we'd hope) with any other 'bad' post; an email will go out to all the mods and we'll take care of it.

The PM problem looks like it's fixed so that's cool :thumb:

But now for some reason I can't change the title of my haves thread (in my sig). I tried changing the title of other threads I created and it worked there, but it just doesn't work in my trading thread. I click Edit -> Go Advanced and change it, and all it does is put it as a subtitle in bold letters near the top of my thread.

EDIT: Metal Master yep that's what I do, and it still doesn't work :frown:

When you go advanced, you do type it in the Title: box, right? I know that's what happens when you do it in posts, but it shouldn't happen on the first post of threads.

I'm wondering if anyone else has had any of the same problem. Lately, I haven't received any notifications when someone replies to threads I'm subscribed to. This isn't a huge problem because I'm online everyday, or very close to it, but it has proven to be a bit of an inconvenience. Can you take a look and see if there's something I'm missing? I know I have the option checked for instant notification, so I know it can't be that. Thanks for your help in advance.

I switched the contact email to an external list that TC uses.
I'm on the hunt for a new host, possibly a dedicated server; we lost posts, got run over quota and were generally locked out of our system for a chunk of time with no notice.

I haven't received any notifications when someone replies to threads I'm subscribed to.

Before changing anything, go to your control panel and check your thread subscriptions. Are you still subscribed to everything you think you should be? I used to be subscribed to this thread, but somehow I lost the subscription & had to resubscribe. I'm guessing the upgrade is associated with this problem, but I'm not sure. Lil' help with some data on this problem would be great.

P_A
02/24/2006, 04:51 AM
To be honest, I've got subscriptions for 21 threads. That is by no means all of the ones I've replied to (over 600), but it's still a fair chunk. I'm getting no notifications at all. None on pm's either. Mind you, when I go to this site I automatically have a pop up if I have gotten a pm, but that's it.

Edit: After posting this, I went back to my CP and it doesn't have this thread in my subscriptions. Odd, .... very odd.

Edit #2: I went to my total subscriptions and there was a box that was unchecked. I think I have it sorted out now, but I'll know for sure when I get home to check my emails.

Edit #3: I doubt it worked. I went back to my total subsriptions, and the notification checkbox was unchecked again. So I went to options and changed from instant notification to daily, saved it, then went to my total subscriptions. The box was still unchecked. So I changed it back to instant notification again. At the moment I have 21 new threads I'm subscribed to, and over 600 total, but no notification.

bulbasnore
02/24/2006, 01:04 PM
Erm, about the notifications. I'm getting mine for all the subscriptions that I show (2, this thread and a forum). I'm not ready to say, check your SPAM filter, yet. I'll try to think of how we can test this in a way that will show me where the problem is being caused.

P_A
02/24/2006, 08:37 PM
Hate to say it 'snore, but I have no SPAM filter. Nothing is coming through from the gym, period. As you can see when you go to your total subscriptions, there's a box on the top right that you can check and uncheck for notifications. None of those are checked - or stay checked for that matter, when I check them. Someone might try sending an email to me through my user lookup, and see if that goes through.

bulbasnore
02/24/2006, 11:50 PM
Hmm. Well, 'sworkingfermebutthatduznthelpyou. So, you can't make your 'notification' checks stick? Now that's something to go on. I'm out of gas for tonite, so I'll try to check into it this weekend.

Ok, this may not be a bug, but its been annoying me for a while now... I used to like getting email notification when someone post in a thread I posted in/started. But now the inconvinience of deleting 10+ emails a day is a real drag! I keep trying to tell it to stop in my options, but it wont.. I even tried weekly notification (figuring I could just delete 1 email a week instead of 70+) but to no avail. I still get an email for every PM and thread I am subscribed too... wat up wit dat, yo?

P_A, I can see your 29 subscriptions & email notifications in the database. They don't show in your profile? I did make a minor change to your group memberships (you weren't a registered user, subscriber & prof, but not r.u. which is our basic category). Let's see if that helps.

Well, I try... lol.... I am as far beyond Normal as possible! I only tried going into my user options when I tried to stop email notification.. I still recived emails today, and up til 2/28 12 AM

I just went in and set all my subscriptions to no email notification, which is lame since I had to click all them instead of just one box in the options menu... maybe it'll stop now thoug... I hope.... Maybe since I was already subscribed to them I had them.... I dunno... seems like alotta extra work... I'll post back tomorrow if I keep recieving email notifications.....

And how does that even work, not being a R.U.? Wow, I didnt know I was that good!!! lol

03/01/2006, 07:11 AM
Just to further confuse the problem I'm having with the board's notifications, I thought I'd try to change my email address that it sends to one of my other email accounts, just to see if that will make a difference. I'll keep you updated if I'm able to get any later on today.

Crap! Yes, I'm now getting notifications. I'm not sure what is going on with my ISP, but they are stopping the notifications for some reason. I'll be giving them the boot shortly if that's what's happening. Thanks for the help, and sorry for causing a problem.

bullados
03/11/2006, 05:19 AM
there might be a hitch in the subroutines for the siglength thing. Since different computers have different text sizes and hense different spaces to place text, what takes up 1 line on one computer could take up 3 lines on another computer. The subroutines might only check for 5 "return" enters, rather than 5 lines overall. At least, that's my guess...

Recently, after some change somewhere down the road, most of the images dissappeared. I was wondering about it, and tried replacing mine(which also dissappeared). So I try uploading this animated pokemon, and it says no animations allowed.

Is this a new rule that was implemented and not said about?
