I wasn't remarking about the chat applet in this thread. I was remarking about the Post a reply page on the forum. (The multiplying header is showing up again even as I type this.)

As I have stated before, I am running Chrome or Firefox on Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Ultimately, that should be irrelevant. The era of tweaking websites for specific browsers should be dead, now that all major browsers are standards compliant. Any website that looks significantly different from one browser to another is poorly coded. That was the point of my previous post. I can't even imagine what kind of bug would result in a header that slowly fills up my entire screen. I have never seen that kind of behavior before on any webpage. lol

Obviously, I am not blaming you. I am simply baffled that the developers could release such a buggy package.

I already addressed the browser comment in another thread, no reason to rehash it again.

I've said this quite a few times and apparently need to make it clear once again.

This site is TWO software's working as one.

There's the core site, which is DotNetNuke, or the shell if you will.
The forums are YetAnotherForum, which the software developers created a module for DotNetNuke.

The version of dotnetnuke we're running, is 6.0.0 which is NOT compatible with 1.9.5.5. Therefore we'll see some goofy stupid stuff because the YAF folks didn't release the DNN module for YAF that works with DNN 6.0.0 yet.

Make sense?


This probably begs the question, why upgrade one, when it's not compatible with the other? Here's where we go full circle back to the topic of this thread. I'm sick of waking up in the morning and seeing the site is under construction. I shouldn't be nervous when I navigate to my own site in the morning. I tested the DNN version on packersbeta.com and it worked fine with YAF 1.9.5.5 so I upgraded in HOPES that the annoying pissant under construction page never shows its ugly fat fucking face again.

Can you explain in more detail exactly what you did that this happened? It was on Mac OS X and Google Chrome, right?

When you come to PackersHome and see "Under Construction", chances are the SQL Server is timing out. This tells the site software, hey something is wrong, throw up the Under Construction page. It's done for security reasons.

I'm in constant discussion with the host. They will either fix this issue, or the site will be moved to a new host.



The only time I have the site under construction is going to be late on a Friday evening, or during the weekend. I usually use my own custom page for the site being down too.

So basically if you see the under construction, that's the host fucking up, again. Good thing the host is free... oh wait.

Kevin, do you want us to let you know when we get the UNDER CONSTRUCTION page (as opposed to the one that has your one sentence message)?

Its happened to me several times over the past few weeks, but I can't remember exactly when other than its when I'm at home rather than at work (say 7 pm-6 a.m.)
None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes.

I don't have many issues with the site. You get those messages because Kevin Hates you and tries to keep you from crawling back in. Big Grin

EDIT- FACTOID!!Weeeee!!

Since going to the new host we haven't had any unintentional under construction pages. They were happening two or three times at least a week with the old host because the site would fail to connect to the database.

I don't think we've had one Under Construction issue since the new host. Amazing how much a host can improve your site. It's been about a month or so now I believe.

I think I did get an error message of some kind in the past week. I just waited to log in until later in the day.

This is much more better of a site.
