Grateful Dead

dead.net the official site

I'm still there. It's only happened a few times. There is not a single person who would log in as me b/c nobody knows my top secret password. Nobody knows I'm here for that matter really. Strange things are abound...

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 :/

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. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Now what the hell happened to my picture? Profile? How did these things just get erased? I logged on earlier today and everything was there. I never erased anything, how did that happen?

in the machine :o and it eat our pictures :)yep they are all gone!

I really liked the pictures.

May i humbly recall that i solved the real nature of the problem(..Ghost)allready 1page ago....

does anyone know where I can find the answers?

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...

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).

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 ;-)

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.

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!

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. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

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

Where'd my pics go?? Help!!

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??????

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....

as i see,the double of me on the "whos online" list has disappeard.who would be such a nerd to hack the dead site.....does somebody wants to get "secret" conversations:-)(-:

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

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?

Thank you Marye

There's no problem here. I must have (un) checked the box that allowed me to get messages. Who knows, Anyway ~ Its all right now. PEACE

Still no pics!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Steve-O I can see the pics today!! There you are with that little cutie pie!! :) Peace!

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?
