Known issues with Qt Forum

Looks like I am also hit with the email issue...

Seems to have started working again?

AndyS

Yeah, working now. Not sure what happened as there have been no changes lately. I will keep a closer eye on it (been swamped the last few days so not been able to monitor things closely)

SGaist

Indeed, I am again receiving emails.

On an unrelated subject, the forum list given under the "Mark as Read" button is strangely sorted. The International list used to be by alphabetical order. Now it's something else but what ? Maybe by Id and they have changed.

AndyS

On the favicon issue, I believe that I have found the cause now, we need to update a plugin (we have a fork of one) before I can say for sure, but hopefully in a day or so this will be 100% fixed.

Probably by ID, I checked the order on NodeBB and that is also in none alphabetical order so at least thats not a problem specific to us for once :)

It seems the link function has changed too. All links not starting with http:// don't seem work. Probably they are threaded as internal links.

Example: www.qt.io vs. http://www.qt.io

I believe this is now fixed, I am going to give it a day (to make sure it gets passed the automatic restarting) to be sure, but fingers crossed this one is taken care of.

AndyS

Calling the favicon thing as fixed now since it is still in place after it automatically restarted

@AndyS
I would confirm that favicon is now back! Thank you.

However, I wish I could say the same for vote counting, reporting of last posts in the list of posts, initial font, some posts going walkies.... :( I do realise you do this for love, and probably have other RL concerns to deal with, but there is still a depressing amount since the update to fix.... !

AndyS

I know @JonB and I am trying to work out the cause of it, the problem is that the information in the DB is correct and somehow it gets the wrong information, but I have not determined at what point it goes wrong. I was hoping it was the Q&A plugin but it is not that so I have to try and look at the source again. Problem is I cannot reproduce it anywhere but on the main forum, I have 2 testing ones and its fine there.

hi @AndyS vote counter values are correct there when you hover the 0 , it's just label that is not refreshed

J.Hilk

@AndyS on your testserver everything is working?

Maybe trying a different host would help?

AndyS

@LeLev I don't find that surprising as the approach to getting it is different in that case. At least I think it is.

AndyS

@J-Hilk I have a localhost based test server and the other one is hosted in the same manner (almost) as this one. There is one theory that it has to do with the number of instances running, but they still connect to the same database so that would make no sense. But we did see that two computers from the same IP were getting two different results for the unread, which is baffling.

@AndyS
I know you are doing your best, you are doing a sterling job, I feel your pain!

@LeLev

? If it shows 0 and I hover it and it shows some voters, how is "vote counter values are correct"?? :)

jsulm

@JonB I have exact same issue

Question, is it the same account in each instance, or 2 different ones ?

AndyS

Same account which is why it was really weird

i mean it is not refreshing the count Label/Text element so it shows 0, but when you hover it, you actually see the voters and you cant count

J.Hilk

Actually, I'm not sure I image things, but when I later (like after work) check threads I visited before, than I noticed an existing upvote/downvote counter, and not only on those where I voted myself.

Maybe the update is simply delayed beyond reason, if you yourself don't vote?
