New Server - week of 4/4/2022

A heads up that we'll be migrating this site to a new server at some point this week. Expect some glitches.

We've moved! The things I've tested have all worked. Post any issues in this thread.

Certainly feels a little more spritely!

Only thing I've noticed is the site seems to run a bit quicker.

I usually log in / out each time I post / reply so not seen an issue there.

In any case thanks again for the time and effort put into keeping LCB running and FREE (so many other sites & forums have started charging (and lose my attention)).

The for sale section is no longer working.

If you can be a bit more specific about what's broken I'll get it sorted out.

It seems to be a space issue, or size of posting anyway. A few words will work, or one picture, but anything more will fail.

I did a longish test post in the for sale section and it worked - if you can explain what you're doing when it fails it would help as I don't use this forum regularly. thanks!

I've tried various things: First was a mixture of text (a small paragraph) and a link to a picture from the photo archive - just saw some of the text. Deleted the link to the picture, substituted a link to the thumbnail of the picture ( pg - /pg ) then plain text. No success. This was when trying a preview of my text - I didn't bother to post anything when the preview failed.

I usually use Firefox on Linux, but I also tried with Chrome - same result.

I have tried several times, with assorted permutations...

Strangely, I can post stuff in other topics, which is odd - although I haven't tried pictures.

Could it be something to do with a local cache, following the server upgrade? I might try clearing the cache for this site...

this thread suggests it may be a https problem...

I've fixed a few old http redirects but there are no significant errors in the logs.

Still getting the same result - only the header is showing in preview.

There seems to still be some weirdness with the for sale section, there are multiple blank or photo only posts, and several posts with no headers which can only be clicked by the blue arrow within the for sale section, they can't be clicked from the frontpage at all.

There are also a couple posts in other sections with the same problem, it appears preview is ok, but the text is disappearing once post is clicked.

I'm keen to help to fix this but at this stage I'm not able to reproduce a problem. If someone can help by describing exactly what they are doing when this happens I'll have a better chance.

Right now there are no errors in the logs.

Could you help me with examples? even if it is just the thread ID (tid) that you see in the URL bar. Thanks!

I get the same as David. Only the heading shows, no body. Same in U2U messages.

I can see you've edited the heading of one blank headed post, this is the other one.

It's just got me on the following post, using the same browser as usual, no other changed settings, and https enabled. The posted message disappears on preview, and on posting, and can't be edited to appear either.

I will try to recall the message i posted in case there are any symbols etc that are messing with the bbcode etc.

Dave

ETA

It appears the degree symbol is what is blocking that post, i will try without.
