The Forums are Back! Now What's Broken?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

It would appear that non-premier members can now create blogs.  Is this an intentional change, or something that broke?

I apologize if this has been mentioned or asked about, I wasn't able to find anything about it, even after several searches.

I really need to be more active

Premier perks may just be turned on for everyone since the site was down during the anniversary and doing so is an anniversary tradition. It definitely looks that way to me considering everyone has rank images.

When I enter "bzpower.com" into the search, I am still given a message saying, "BZPower.com is currently under construction. Please visit BZPower.info while we work on the site." I understand that this is a leftover from the downtime in 2019, but I would like to know: is the homepage going to be left this way, or will it be fixed?

We do intend to have a new homepage up eventually, but we don't have a timeline for when that will happen.

so i'm always signed into the forums but every time i scroll to the bottom ov the index where every ones username is seen but mine! is this a glitch? or is it because i posted in the What Are You Listening To? topic with a song with a somewhat disturbing title ("Violent Pornography" by System of a Down)? i'm confused! 

EDIT: never mind! it just takes a while for my username to appear! sorry! :)

I've been wondering for a while now. If you don't mind me asking... are the rank images a permanent feature of everyone's profiles now? Or was that another thing that the upgrade broke?

No worries either way! I'm just curious whether I can get used to having them around, or if there's gonna be a day when they're premier-exclusive again ^^

After the upgrade, there doesn't appear to be a way to turn off the rank images for certain groups, so everyone gets to enjoy them now.

I'm getting an EX144 Configuration or Server error when trying to load my message inbox, and the messages won't load in the preview panel.

Thanks. We're looking into this and will let you know when he know more.

Most user groups have spinnies visible on their posts, however premier members do not. Premier variations of other user groups (e.g., Premier Outstanding BZPower Citizens) have spinnies on their posts, although I have not verified that every other group has functional spinnies, so a review to ensure no other groups were broken may be prudent.

I'm getting this on all profiles too, as well as the "activity " tab with error code EX144. 

We're working on the above with our host. We'll let you know when we have a fix.

I'll try to get back to looking at this once we have the errors above fixed, but unfortunately there are some Premier Members who do have the spinny, so it's not as simple to troubleshoot as we'd like. :(

Pretty sure thisnt so much glitches as much is an interaction between IB software and Android, but for some reason its causing problem.

Uploads appear is subsequent posts that I cant remove

I cant send PMs.

Cant access PMs.

Worst of all I cant use my old bold purple text color.

 

Any know way to access the desktop version on android?

Is it strange to be annoyed that other people are using my color?

Y'all know who you are.

I just started an I cannot access my profile, so I'll have no Avatar for the foreseeable future. 

Edit: looks like it's working now. Sweet!

the configuration error stuck back today, but it looks like it's all fixed so Hallelujah!! i was so irritated when things didn't work like it should (e.g.; could not compose messages, could not view profiles, could not post on a topic...)! so i'm thankful it's working now! :) 

i really don't get what caused the aforementioned issues so if someone could explain that would be nice! :)

There were definitely a lot of issues earlier in the week, but we have hopefully cleared most of them up except for the occasional slowdown. We're still hoping to make things better and are working on it when we can.

so what was the cause ov the issues? i'm starting to think Invision might be toying with the website, or there is a great amount ov bugs in the programming, i don't know! i'm not an expert on this stuff! whatever the cause, i just don't want it to happen anymore! i know not everything is meant to work flawlessly, but this has happened twice this year (i think)! grr! 

anyway, thanks for fixing the issues and let's pray it never happens again (at least until next year when it happens again, WHICH IS STUPID!!!)! lol :)

also how do I edit my signature in the new layout, am I missing something obvious?

You can edit it by clicking on your username in the top right corner, then clicking on the "SETTINGS" tab. Then scroll down to select the "Signature" option.

When's the redirect gonna be updated? It still says BzPower is under construction.

Fair point, we should probably update that. I have grand designs to fix it, but real life and pandemics have been keeping that from happening.

There are two problems with the tracker.

First, the link to the tracker at the top of the QA main page - the one that says "Improvement suggestions go in the Tracker, not here" in big mostly-red letters- actually points back to the QA main page; same for the link that's supposed to point to the Compendium.

Second, after finding a link that actually points to the Tracker in the Compendium thread... the Tracker seems to be currently out of order.

Yeah, I think the tracker was just dropped after the forum update. I guess we're back to using this forum (this topic in particular) for things that used to be covered there. (That's the way it was before the tracker.)

The front page never went away. It's web address was simply renamed to bzpower.info rather than bzpower.com (which as I'm sure you know leads directly to the forum).

I thought this was widely known for several years, but I guess I've just been one of those increasingly rare frequent visitors to make such an assumption...

Formerly known as Takanuva's Symbol, I rejoined BZPower on October 10, 2012.

These days, I am perhaps best known for my obsession with all Lego video games.
