It's just you. The tribe has spoken.

I just got it too.

 

[6V92TA]

wanted to look in the archives , nothing doing

Try an ether capsule. That usually helps.

I brought this up at least a week ago on another thread and never received a reply from Admin. No one listens to me

I posted a simple please click the full size image when posting pics and got slammed or such a request. Should I tell you to wait complaining about this condition???

 

[NIsaacs]

Me too. I can't post a link or start a thread with one in it.

I would assume he is working on settings, been active all afternoon. Probably will straighten out once he is done tweaking settings for the day.

I cannot imagine the work behind the scenes to rip a complete forum out by it's roots, load a new forum and import all the stuff into that new forum...then have to start basically from scratch with every setting....then have to make more changes to accommodate little variations for IE11, Google Chrome, Tapatalk, etc...

It will take a little time and patience for sure. I for one do like the new system and think it will be a huge improvement over the old one when tweaked to our liking. That will not happen overnight....

Flame away......

Undoubtedly a big job. I thought that also that is why I did not press the issue.

Should be resolved now.

The actual importing of the old forum data was the easy part (built into Xenforo). Going through all the settings, that's an ongoing thing - there are literally hundreds of settings. Most imported fine, but not all. I spent a lot of time on a test server, but live users have a way of finding all kinds of things one man can't.

Titles that start or end with numbers are wrecking havoc on Xenforo's built-in VBulletin redirect system, and TDR is loaded with them! XF expects thread/forum numbers after the title. VBulletin expected them before. So when it sees a thread with a number before AND after the title, it doesn't know if it's an VBulletin URL to redirect, or if it's a new format Xenforo URL! When it gets it wrong you have page not found errors, hovering that doesn't pull up previews, etc.

turbodieselregister.com/5.9L-Engine-Problems.23840/ is an example of a URL which confused it.

I'm having to write custom redirect code for each type of format as they happen while trying to not break previous code while I'm at it. I *should* have the vast bulk of it working now.

Add on top of that the articles section, which Xenforo doesn't import at all, having to write a custom importer, 15+ years of legacy custom code written to support magazine and magazine subscribers... and my days are full!

 

[MarkEagleUSA]

and my days are full!

So what's the problem?...

It will all be worth it in the end. I belong to a couple of forums that went from VB to XF and it took a while to sort everything out. Once done the forums are much better.

Appreciate all you do, have done, and will get to tomorrow.

Busy,Busy,Busy. I do not want your job as I get frustrated to fast at my age now. Thanks for all your doing.

thanks to the Admin for whatever it is they do. I'm not complaining, just wondering out loud if its something on my end or something affecting the whole system.
sounds like the whole system.

I have a suggestion what you should do instead of worrying WTF I post or the method in which I post,and my suggestion revolves around you taking a long walk off a short pier.

 

[NIsaacs]

Still not allowing me to post a link.

Mine was doing a similar thing with the error messages etc.

I cleaned out all the history and cookies. Worked great after that.

 

[TDRAdmin4]

Most browsers cache redirects in addition to actual pages. If a link is still coming up bad, clearing the cache (no need to clear history or cookies though) clearing it and restarting the browser should fix it.
