    After repeatedly seeing posts by people irritated by some of the forum's resident flamers and trollers, I had an idea regarding the ignore function.

     

    Wouldn't it be great if:

     

    - the small forum infobox displayed on the left of every post would display something like "ignored by X members", where X is the number of members that have put him on ignore

     

    - the ignored member also loses access to any posts made by the member putting him on ignore

     

    - ignore carries over in quoted messages, i.e. no message is shown if someone else quotes the ignored member, and reciprocally own posts are not shown to the ignored member

     

    maybe IPB has a module for this?

    you could be right, but seeing as no one from admin has bothered to reply to any of this discussion (for the last 27 posts) its hard to tell if they did anything and if so, was it intentional.

     

    can someone in admin reply and let us know why you have chosen to not reply to any of this discussion, or offer any kind of assistance or up-date, regarding all of this?

    I think your message is a bit harsh.

    The site is provided free of charge, plus the problem has been fixed.

    So thank you to whoever fixed the issue.

    ok ... thanks ... +1 for the assist & one last question:

     

    if i have not (knowingly/personally) changed a thing in regard to my software, settings, my firewall, router, connection or any other aspect of the operating system, how is it that all of a sudden one day (coincidentally when the search thing was being addressed) would i all of sudden have all these problems arise, and Vic also?

     

    further, my speed is averaging 12.16 Mbps, and i have not seen it less than 11 Mbps in ages ... i would think that is sufficient. Yes/No?

    There are several possibilities why the problems appeared just now:

    - if you have any security software set to auto-update, there might have been a change without you noticing (my laptop powers up by itself in the night to update)

    - a change at server or website level can explain the sudden appearance of problems - if a fix has been applied to solve the search problem, the fix might also have broken other things. See my above post to know why this can be a bitch to diagnose. BTW, I forgot browser incompatibilities in the list.

     

    Regarding speed:

    - you won't have the same speed to all servers. some I can only access with 20kb/s inspite of having a 20Mbits connection. Depends on the routing and the servers in between.

     

    Regarding your current problems, my money is on coding incoherences in the (custom) template and possibly modules of IPB.

     

    But I repeat these are tricky, and browsers are known to play up like divas with javascript issues, so I'm in no way blaming anyone, these things can happen.

    Similar shit happened to me and I have spent 90 hours straight working on it before solving the problem. :-(

    I REPEAT, OTHER FORUMS ARE NOT GIVING ME PROBLEMS THAT RUN THE SAME SCRIPT, WHY WOULD I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS FORUM AND NOT THOSE? IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN IT TO ME IN SIMPLE TERMS. YOU SEEM TO KEEP AVOIDING THIS FACT/QUESTION OR SKIPPING OVER IT.

     

    Could be due to a number of causes - without knowing the exact range of software you are using, it will be very difficult to answer.

     

    One possibility is that you use a firewall/antivirus/behavioral shield that uses "website reputation" or "keyword-based filtering" which prevents loading some of the javascript when the websites test positive on porn keywords.

     

    Another possibility is different routings for LBP and for Thaivisa, one being slow and the other faster.

     

    You say the same script is used by Thaivisa and LBP - which is probably not accurate. The forums have different modules installed, maybe use different subversions, and use different templates, and possibly include different javascript libraries or different versions thereof.

    Also, the page might load different components depending on client browser, version, OS, language, location, IP, ISP, referrer, template, etc.

    If two javascripts use the same variable name or function, it can have unpredictable effects and is very tricky to diagnose.

     

    Also, poorly coded templates can cause that type of error, especially on slower connections, because some javascript will expect HTML objects to exist beforehand, but in some cases the javascript loads before the HTML object and can't execute properly.

     

    Other differences might be in the HTML Doctype, which changes how the browser interprets the page code and how the DOM gets accessed. Some browsers are more anal about small mistakes than others (but this probably doesn't apply in your case).

     

    Another problem might be caused by your ISP if your IP is dynamically renewed for each request. If the forum has a security feature enabled to match the session cookie with the client IP, the page load might be disrupted, some parts loading, others not.

     

    ...

    there might be other reasons I didn't even think of, but bottom line is that your problem is tricky to nail.

    thanks for the help, but everything is up to date, and all that is needed to not be blocked is not.

     

    as i have mentioned in every post, i can get all functions to perform on the Thai Visa forum and they use the very same script for that board, so why would the settings be different for this board?

     

    What does firefox say about it's version?

    top left "firefox" -> help -> about Firefox

    I get 14.0.1 "firefox is up to date"

     

    And under Firefox -> add-ons -> plugins -> Shockwave Flash?

    I have 11.3.300.270

     

    Do you have any protection plugins installed?

    i hope someone can help me ...

     

    the search function will not process, before it would bt would not return a search. now it won;t do a thing.

     

    further, i can not select where i wish to search.

     

    and, i can not get multi-quote, or quote to function.

     

    and i can not post in quick reply ant the bottom of the page, i must use the Reply to this Topic function at the top of this page.

     

    i also cannot load pictures properly. i use the browse for images function, i can select the images form my HDD, i click on open, and it appears to do nothing. yet when i submit the post the pictures appear as attachments, but i had no idea they were attached. i can then go in and edit them and place them where i wish within the post.

     

    the drop down menu next to the sign-out button does drop down now but it won;t hide and stays open.

     

    i have no idea of knowing if it is the site or my laptop.

     

    any assistance would be appreciated, i am dazed and confused, and quite frustrated by all of this.

     

    please keep in mind as i have mentioned numerous times above, when i log onto Thai Visa forum it all works fine.

    that's quite puzzling - many of the issues you report seem to be javascript-related, yet the upload is a flash component.

    I would try the following:

    - make sure your browser is set to execute javascript and that your antivirus or other protection software is not blocking javascript

    - update the flash player

    - update the browser

    kinda javascript related, it's AJAX, i.e. javascript retrieves content asynchronously and fills it into existing HTML containers once the content has loaded.

    Your problem is probably caused by slow internet connection, however I have also witnessed that the component you mention sometimes simply refuses to load, which might be caused by conflicts in javascript function or variable naming and/or HTML container naming on the page.

     

    P.S. saying windows is shit became out of trend, because Win 7 is actually pretty good.
