Having trouble posting? Getting strange results when you load a page? Report these and other strange occurrences in the desert here! (Feel free to mention what OS and browser you're using also, as it helps nail the problem.) Thanks!

me too sometimes I go on and gratefulmom is on 2 times, even when I log off sometimes it says I'm still on...weird :/
Phantom login or stale page?
I'll try to avoid getting too technical here, but I have definitely noticed differing page rendering when logged in vs not, specifically a high proportion of stale pages when not logged in. By that I mean pages that are missing content that should be there, such as recent posts that I saw when logged in, but which do not appear when logged out. My suspicion here has to do with browser caching.
There is an HTML tag [META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache"] (replace the squares with angles) that will force browsers to reload each page from the server every time, that will probably cure this syndrome, but will also slow everyone down a bit, not to mention burning a LOT more bandwidth.
Alternatively, as drupal is built with php, you could also try ' header(”Cache-Control: max-age=0″);'
You might run this by your developers. It may help.

There is a ghost

I think the pictures
will be back!
Various experiments behind the curtain, I guess...

Me and some pals figured them all out about 10 years ago. I'm sure it will all come back to me if I see the picture. Time to investigate...
Phantom login or stale page observations
I bow to Mr Pids technical know how. Here's a couple of tips
Phantom Log Ins
This happens often to me. It seems to result from not logging off properly. When you log out, make sure that the process finishes completely before closing your browser or heading off to another site (wait for 'Done' at the bottom of the screen in Firefox). Also do not log out and then use the 'Go Back' button on your browser, once logged off it is best to close Deadnet and then reopen when needed.
Stale Pages
This is getting annoying. For example in 'Show Recent Posts' I often get the current page from when I last logged out. The only way to get the most recent is to log in .it makes browsing without logging in a real pain (which must use more bandwidth too).
while I am here last post first please
can you please please please please ask the tech people to fix it so that we can see the most recent post first. It is such a pain having always to head for the last page and work backwards through a thread. This has been requested many times and cannot be that hard to achieve (after all Personal Messages are sorted like that).
I am sure Mr Pid knows how to do this ;-)
Numbers of posts are back

Starting at new posts
There is a way to do this already. If you retrieve the Forums topic, any topics with new posts will have a link showing the count of new items. If you click on that link, instead of the topic name, you will get the page with the new posts, already scrolled to the first new post. Note that this is NOT yet implemented on the All Recent posts page, and only seems to work when logged in. Then again, if you're not logged in, all posts are "new," so to speak. "New" is a client session level concept, not a server level concept.
Likewise, there is also a link to the last item posted, and that will take you directly to that item as well.
This functionality appears to have been (silently) rolled out within the last week or so, and I just happened to notice the more correctly formed urls when I inadvertently hovered my mouse over one of the links.
Hope this speeds your reading, Badger. BTW, hope all was well with the wifey's canine inclusive bday. I trust you got her something nice for the garden.
As for the avatars disappearing, this is probably an unintended server configuration issue. It could be something as simple as a missing or malformed item in a properties file. As I have virtually no experience with drupal, we'll have to wait for an official assessment. When it comes to web apps, I always "roll my own" and prefer to use java/JSP instead of php.
Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.
you are right Mr Pid
Unlike before it does work via the forums (fora?), but as you point out, not via 'all recent posts' which I use more often to navigate. Hopefully they'll fix that soon. I love the way they leave us to discover these things!
We had a great birthday thanks, although I am still not talking to the dawg. As for the garden..been planting fruit trees today!
All Recent posts
If they would just compose the urls on that page the same way the do on the fora pages, then your wish would be granted Badger. Maybe "they're" listening...
Perhaps they don't announce new functionality rollouts so as to preserve the opportunity for some Joy of Discovery as we wend our way along our respective journeys.
Fortunately, they don't require us to communicate in Latin. There's only so much of it I remember. Semper ubi sub ubi. Nothing like a bad pun to set the tone.
As for el Poochie....back to that topic.

wierd stuff with login
My PC and iBook both have my info auto entered when I have to re-log in. Last week after the board maint. I couldnt get in for a few days. I tried to have me PW sent to my email and nothing came to it. I even tried getting a new id and nothing came to me email. Now everything is ok, or at least from my iBooks prospective. Anyone else run into this?? Oh yeah, no avitars either?
Eric
Yep things are strange...
I thought it was my computer, but it seems everyone is having some sort of trouble!I have trouble logging in, a screen pops up saying " out for coffee" or "try again later", today I logged right on but no pictures still!! Whats up??????
I dunno
but I have duly reported it!
kj, the problem we've been seeing off and on with mailing new passwords to new people is that various systems reject those messages and don't put them through. Comcast and hotmail are frequent culprits, but we see it in all kinds of places. So if this persists on either of your machines speak up.

weirs stuff is going on.f ex.i recieved a pm from a guy saying he will help me with my studies(sic)and in fact offered me a strange websiteadress somewhere in russia.i did not use it,naturally,but this security cookie thing worries me,because i see some pms which are coming to me.im called by my username,but they make absolutly no sense.as it says..somebody has stolen my identity and is using it i do not know how O°L°OThat aint no good....
Private Messages
I was going to send the viners my new address, but I'm guessing there's a problem with that bc I can't even check if I've got any messages. I'm not the only one right? Well, not a big deal, I post it in another forum.
Thanks for all your hard work & patience
PEACE
mayre
Yes, my inbox used to be under "my account" or over "Log Out", not sure which, but it's gone & if I go to your page & try to send you a message, there's only the "Block Message". This has gone on for a few days, & I just assumed it was the whole site, like the picture issue? Am I wrong?
I see pics today!!
Hey Steve-O I can see the pics today!! There you are with that little cutie pie!! :) Peace!
Slow loading time for forum pages sometimes
This site seems to be running slower than usual in the last days. Other sites I visit on the web are loading at the same speed as usual. It's only when I try to get into the forums that it seems to be doing it, and not all the time either. Maybe it's just when the server is busy in the US? I tried at 7am this morning and it was ridiculously slow. Anyone else having the same experience in Europe or is it just dodgy German service providers? It is normally a fast connection here.
Are you kind?
