Hi, often I will use my browser url history to go to the forum page I want.. but since the upgrade I get an error when I try it. A sample link would be:

https://perb.cc/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=19

I think it must have something to do with the site because when I enter from the main page now the url comes up as:

http://66.51.242.32/vbulletin/



Also the PERB logo in the top right of each page is gone - now a vbulletin logo.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!

That`s likely because they put in a new server with an external IP of 66.51.242.32. Assuming they have already updated their DNS with the new IP it will take some time for this to propagate throughout the internet. Eventually your history will work.

Thanks Jim. after the new ip has fully propagated all the links will be working again.
We will put the logo back.

That icon is there ?

Fred, whatever you have done to the site it is very fast now. Nice work!

Thanks. New server.these servers are up and running
24/7, they wear out pretty fast. That's why even CRA allow you to write them off every 3yrs or so.

This should probably be made a sticky, at least for a few days or so.

Good idea. Done. I love how fast it runs and how 'clean' it looks.

 

[Ratbert_2008]

The time is correct.

I assume the URL will eventually revert back to https://perb.cc yes?
I use Firefox CookieCuller to save my login cookies.

And what exactly is this Tags feature at the bottom of every thread?

Go up a few posts Wolvie, I answered the URL question.

Tags allow you to search by something else other than the subject in the review.

For example, if you search for the text `greek` and only search the message body/title you will miss "anal". However if 3 reviewers use the different terms for anal sex but tag the review with `Greek` a tag search will come up with all three reviews.

Used in a lot of photo album software.

A suggestion

I'm lazy I admit it.

The new layout is slick but the 'preview/next' feature at the bottom of the page is an annoyance. Can this be configured to go back up just under the messages and before the 'Tag' feature?

Thanks Fred!

Search function with iPhone

It doesn't work
is it the phone or your end?

Saying it doesn't work is not a useful problem description. Though it is a mighty common one.

You need to provide specific details of what you did starting from before the problem and proceeding from there. When you get to the point where it didn't work, describe in detail what happened (error message, can't see search results, can't scroll etc).

Ok When I bring up the search box and begin to type in the word the box disappears

I don`t have any technical knowledge about this site or iPhones, but it sounds like a problem with the iPhone browser. One thing I have noticed in Internet Explorer is that starting to type will engage the Autocomplete function. If something like that is the source of the problem, turning that feature off (assuming something similar exists in the iPhone browser) may help.

Alternatively, you could try the "Advanced Search" at: https://perb.cc/vbulletin/search.php. Put the text that you want to find in the "Search by Keyword" field in the upper left of the window and press Enter or click the "Search Now" button at the bottom of the window. Does that work?

The most technical option would be to update the iPhone firmware or its browser. That might fix the problem.
