Here's the latest on the Forum upgrade... Report problems here

[Steve_OS]

Hello Steve. I have recently returned to OS. When I try to access my posts via my profile, I get a message that says I am not aurhorized to view that page. Why am I not authorized to view my posts?

Thanks, Art (ArtD01)

Just going to your profile page you get that error? Nothing else specific after that? Can you do me a favor and delete cookies/cache and also try another browser to see if it's still happening?

As a web developer, this might not seem like an issue since it's a forum, but the content structure should be limited to two or three layers at most.

I think I can help give more info here, assuming this is what Art's talking about. Happens for me on Chrome & Edge on PC and Safari on iPad even after clearing cache.

Using you as an example: if you click on someone's name this small window pops up with quick links to their posts and the option to Ignore.

If you click on the posts, you get this. There is no further info:

If I'm logged out, clicking on posts goes to a generic search page (image cropped just to not include a huge pic, we all know what a search looks like).

Whenever I click onto a thread that has new posts, the new posts are not updating for me. I just see older posts that I've already read despite the thread listing showing there are newer posts.

The forum does seem to be performing a lot better now. Fast loading! Hoping all the migration stuff is done soon as I’m sure we’ll be getting a flood of new members soon with CFB26 and Madden 26 not far off.

Data import update from the engineer.

I will be working on importing core entities like users and posts ASAP, and deal with any more missing entities afterwards - ideally working on it during forum off-peak hours as it requires database switching.

So for you night owls, you will probably see some slow times and possible downtime as he works through it.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about not being authorized to look at my posts. From the responses, I am assuming that the problem is a bug. I will just ignore it and occasionally try to access my posts from my Profile to see if the bug has been corrected.

Best to everyone

Art

Hey Steve, sorry to bother again on this -- any update on the missing posts? If not, I guess I'll post everything again on my thread on the weekend...

Something weird here...
College Football 26 - Tracking New Mascots, Traditions, Equipment, Authenticity - Operation Sports Forums

Before going into the thread, it shows 8 responses, however, I can only see 4.

Edit: I can now see all of them, not sure what's happening.

Been getting a ton of "Source Unavailable" errors when loading webpages.

Also, what's with the FULL screen ads? Lately been getting them where the ad literally wraps around the posts in the thread and covers the whole page. They've been gone before I could screen grab them, but surely I'm not the only one whose seen them lol

Well, took the last hour to repost everything on my Independiente thread. I hope it doesn't mess things up. Click the link on my sig to check it out! 😎

A month later, and I am not seeing any better speeds, still takes just as long to load into a specific page as it did on the old forums, I'm now constantly having to log in..tbh it's became a chore to check out the forums, this definitely isn't an "upgrade" to the old forums...at least not yet.

This (IMO) was not even close to being ready to implement.

Agreed, hopefully over time it improves to the point we like it as much as the old forums

We've been solid from what I can tell for a couple of weeks, but we did have some hiccups today and over the weekend. Are you currently seeing a really slow load time now? Have you cleared cookies/cache and tried another browser as well? How slow is slow? A minute or 2 to load a topic or a few seconds?

Look, I try my best to help out everyone, including massive problems reported via email. I can't help without knowing exactly what the issue is and what you've tried or how long you've been trying. Are others having the same problem for weeks as Kramer5150 is? I really need to know so I can attempt to resolve the issue.

When nobody reports any issues, I figure all is well. Like I said, I am trying to help. Please provide some details and we can work together on this.

Also, if it takes too long to respond in this thread, please email feedback @ operationsports . com (no spaces) with your details. I monitor both.

I am using Edge on my laptop (same as the old forums) along with uBlock Origin (again, same as old forums) and have had worse luck compared with the old site in regards to loading, logging in (yes I cleared cookies) and overall performance (continuous hanging).

As far as loading pages goes, I never sat and timed it, but if I had to guess it would be anywhere between 25-35 seconds.

I don't think it's a browser issue, as every other site loads perfectly fine...OS is the only one that gives me problems...

As an example, just tonight when I jumped on here, I had to log in again and it showed even after logging in that I wasn't logged in, the only way I knew I was logged on was when I went to a page.

A quick update, getting to the main forums page has been a bit better, but where things "bog down" is clicking on an individual board, as an example when I click on the main forum page, it is a bit better, but when I go to say The Show boards it still takes probably a good 15 to 20 seconds to load in, and about the same amount of time if I want to click on a topic.
