Qt.io webservices

Hi and welcome to devnet, Please contact @AndyS by chat with your details.

@AndyS said in Is there someone trying to fix this forum ?: settings i had "When someone mentions you" turned off..! Thank you my bad again

@AndyS said in User profile zeroed: @jpnurmi-0 we can change the email address attached to your original account if you prefer to the one you are using now, I don't believe there is any restriction there, would you prefer that? I can do the clean up around that then. Yes please, I don't have access to the old e-mail anymore. :)

Thank you, will try.

The forum uses NodeBB so I suppose it's MongoDB

@AndyS so far everything fine for me, so enjoy your holidays! :)

@JonB said in Losing edits in my posts: This is not great :( So.... is there anything which can actually be done to get back to the forum where it used to work without any of these problems? It's all very well saying the upgrade was needed for "security", but months later we still have a dysfunctional forum in its place.... We already know what to try next, but this requires help from IT to get it right, I am waiting for input from them about it before I can try that. But it is not possible to downgrade and even then it might not help, the problem is mainly down to how we have set up our load balancing, it triggers the cache issue with NodeBB so we are trying to find the right settings that get it working without breaking the forum entirely. I have been able to confirm that it is the cause of the problem, but only the production one has the best way of showcasing the actual load so we have to be careful with making changes. All said in the politest way, I know you are doing your best.... ! Thanks, I wish it hadn't gotten into this situation, but hopefully we will have this sorted out ASAP

@AndyS It's temporarily not in place, the problem is that when I put it to what worked in testing the whole thing decided to fail, I don't know why yet. You must be a programmer in your real job ;-)

@JonB said in Qt Forum will go down for brief maintenance at 12:00 CET 21st Nov: @AndyS When do I get my beer...? ;) :( If we are ever in the same bar then I will get you one then :)

Because I already rejected it as it is a duplicate of a previous flag.

Thanks for pointing it out to the both of you! I have passed it on internally

@AndyS Any update on this topic? I tried to PM you but not sure the message reached you.

@aha_1980 Thank you.please give me a reputation

@JKSH It depends on the page layout. You may see that note, or you may click on "Register" and not see a thing. Because it's not part of either the login or register popup.

@AndyS And another thing/clue :) I see another of my posts. I made it this morning, later edited it. On that PC it showed the edit. Now from another PC it does not show the edit. Doubtless that will turn up in due course :) Yet strangely it does show the correct up-votes number, which have been made since the edit. So instead of right-post wrong-number of votes, I also get wrong-post right-number of votes! Which perhaps means that there is separate caching for posts (edits etc.) versus votes, each cache being able to get out-of-date. Just thought you'd be fascinated to hear ;-) And don't forget my "wrong font" half the time....!

Not that either so back to the drawing board

I was able to edit @christian-gudrian's profile, so the username is not the problem. The error message is probably wrong.

@JKSH FWIW, on my work machine, with super-duper Internet speed, after all was well all morning, it just changed over to serif font. In this case, a refresh immediately returned to serif (unlike from home where that took half an hour). The point is, there seems to be something sensitive in this forum to failing to load whatever causes the font change to sans serif.... P.S. And this just happened again, and cleared again on refresh. P.P.S. Slight clue to help track down: if I simply click to revisit the page (e.g. https://forum.qt.io/unread) the font remains serif. I have to do a reload/refresh for it to move correctly to sans serif. So something to do with caching....
