SpursTalk - Under Construction

[timvp]

As you can probably tell, we're on new servers and have upgraded the forum software. While things will get back to normal in the long run, it's still a work in progress. You may notice bugs and other small errors throughout the forum. We are working to re-customize everything, as we basically had to start from a clean slate once again. Add-ons such as vBookie will be re-instituted in the next couple days.

If you notice any bugs, broken images, broken links or anything else like that, please hold still for the time being. We are aware of all the issues. Please be patient while we work to restore everything.

Thanks.







P.S.

Once everything is in working order, we'll be able to begin adding on new and exciting features.

I like that you can see who is online when using firefox, also i am getting random server not found messages

[Kori Ellis]

also i am getting random server not found messages

If anyone else is getting these, please post.

I haven't seen them.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

very nice!

[thispego]

[Kori Ellis]

Now we can start making that damn arcade.

what they said

[JustSpurs]

IE 7 seems to like it. No errors here.
:flag:

[thispego]

kori can I have an icon for Vbookie Commissioner? thanks...

[jmard5]

Now we can start making that damn arcade.

What games, Kori?

Anyway, it sometimes lags when I click on some of the topics... similar to the times when lots of people are online.

I do not see any errors though.

[Kori Ellis]

Just as a warning, server will go slower than usual for first couple hours due to it adjusting to the activity and caching all the threads.

[Kori Ellis]

For those asking, the Troll Forum will return soon, they are just migrating some stuff with it.

YES!!!!!!!!!

looks good so far. it's got a crisper look to it.

I'm consistently having to log back in after switching forums/opening new threads

That shouldn't be happening.

What browser are you using?

Try to clear your cookies and then try again and see if it sticks.

[Kori Ellis]

To answer other questions ..

Yes, we know there's no navigation in the top right
Yes, we know that signatures are showing up in every post

... LJ will fix these things (and others) when we get back from the vet.

[duncan228]

Kori, how is Deuce?

[GinobiliLooms]

just curious what are the benefits of switching to the new server.

[1369]

That shouldn't be happening.

IE7

I'll try clearing the cookies as well, but for now it is still happening.

[easjer]

Sigs aren't appearing if they are turned off. (which I don't mean is a problem, since that's how it is supposed to work, just throwing it out there if someone is annoyed by it)

Will chat be back in a couple days (in time for the playoffs)?

[1369]

Cleared cookies, but still getting logged out.

Looks like it's just me for some odd reason.

[Budkin]

Been jonesing all day for my SpursTalk fix. Thank God you're back!

[RoundTableVoice]

where is the CHATROOM ?

[In plane sight]

This is all part of the NWO!

[ducks]

do you guys when they upgrade again what to be without the site until all the functions and everything is working perfectly?

[DAF86]

Is the "quoting" style going to stay like right now? I prefer the old style.

[RashoFan]

Kori,
I would like to post pics that I took from the game last night, would you like for me to hold off till later this evening? Will uploading a bunch of pics cause the upgrade of ST to take longer?
when ever you have a chance to answer....

[RashoFan]

Is the "quoting" style going to stay like right now? I prefer the old style.

Change can be hard to adjust to, but I agree with you. I prefer the old style.

On another subject...love the spell check in the upper right corner when you quote someone/reply to thread! :tu

[Pero]

Are you going to install Ducks translator in the forum too?

[Kori Ellis]

I guess a lot of you aren't understanding that we did a lot of customizations on the other design and that we need to time to add them back in here.

If you have problems with loading or logging out etc, I want to hear it. But the constant nagging about where's this and where's that is annoying. Would you rather we would have left the forum down for 3 days? :lol

[duncan228]

Would you rather we would have left the forum down for 3 days? :lol

Oh God NO. :lol

How's Deuce?

[Kori Ellis]

Sigs aren't appearing if they are turned off. (which I don't mean is a problem, since that's how it is supposed to work, just throwing it out there if someone is annoyed by it)



I'm not even sure what that means. Why would someone be annoyed about sigs being turned off if they turned them off?

[Kori Ellis]

Oh God NO. :lol

How's Deuce?

He had the shots. Now he has to rest for a month and then go back for two more. Thanks for asking.

[duncan228]

I'm glad Deuce is on his way to recovering.

[Shelly]

Are you going to install Ducks translator in the forum too?


:lol I was just going to post that after I read his post in this thread. I'm still not sure what he said.

[easjer]

I'm not even sure what that means. Why would someone be annoyed about sigs being turned off if they turned them off?

I am all kinds of clear today.

I meant that if someone is annoyed by the sigs in every post, they could turn off sigs entirely - that that functionality is working. I tried to clarify something that was probably clear when I first posted.

[SpursFanFirst]

Yes, we know there's no navigation in the top right

Are you referring to the drop-down that allows us to change forums easily?

What's wrong with the pooch, Kori? :(

[RashoFan]

He had the shots. Now he has to rest for a month and then go back for two more. Thanks for asking.

Shots??? The heart worm treatment??? How is his platelet count? Give Duece a big hug for me.

[Kori Ellis]

Are you referring to the drop-down that allows us to change forums easily?

I'm talking about the drop-down forum jump, as well as the top navigation that says, "Spurs" "Politics" "Club" etc that is normally located on the top right (above where it says, "Welcome, User Name" LJ will put it all back later today.



What's wrong with the pooch, Kori? :(

He has heartworm and we had been waiting to get his platelets back in the normal range (they were dangerously low) before we could get him shots and treatment. They were below 50K (they are supposed to be 200K). But as of yesterday, they were back up to 220K, so he spent the night at the vet and had his first round of treatment today.

[WildcardManu]

IE7

I'll try clearing the cookies as well, but for now it is still happening.

Try using Mozilla Firefox browser, haven't had any trouble yet

[WildcardManu]

and Thank You for bringing ST back online, would die if I'd have to go to bed without at least browsing the threads

[duncan228]

It's running much faster for me. It's a nice change.

[WalterBenitez]

I am glad all this good news come for playoffs season :downspin:

[marini martini]

Thanks for all your time & hard work, Kori & LJ. The place looks great! !!! Glad it only took 6 hours, I must admit I was starting to get the shakes around one-ish:lol

Positive vibes to Deauce. Glad he's back home and on his way to getting better!

[ducks]

ie 7.0 sucks donkeys

[boutons_]

The square-box quoting style is better.

The quoted text is defined sufficiently with the background.

The italics for the quoted text adds nothing, hurts legibility.

The speed is great. Thanks a million.

[ShoogarBear]

Cleared cookies, but still getting logged out.

Looks like it's just me for some odd reason.

Obviously a bug.

Becaus there are a few other people who need to have that happen to them, too.

[ShoogarBear]

The square-box quoting style is better.


boutons commenting on the quoting-box is like Bruce Bowen commenting on dunking.

[1Parker1]

It's working a lot faster for me now :tu

[RashoFan]

Glad to know Duece's platelet count is back up and he finally started his HW treatment

[SpursFanFirst]

Yep, that's the thing. I didn't know the technical term.

By the way, I'm also having to log in repeatedly. (Firefox)

Sorry to hear about your dog...I sure hope he's going to be OK!

There are asshats out there that still use IE? :lmao

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hey, there is a bug... my trophy for 2nd place in DL2 this year (ROBBED!) has disappeared! ;)

[Slomo]

Kori,
I would like to post pics that I took from the game last night, would you like for me to hold off till later this evening? Will uploading a bunch of pics cause the upgrade of ST to take longer?
when ever you have a chance to answer....

Go ahead!

It won't influence the working of the forum.

The problem is that we jumped from a very old version of the forum software to the newest one, so many of the old stuff didn't translate well into the new version (style sheets being the most obvious). We will fix those things one by one, but we will need a little more time.

[ShoogarBear]

So we gonna get the full-scale mobile version up and running? :hungry:

[spurs_2108]

Now we can start making that damn arcade.

Amen to that.

[angel_luv]

Yea! Spurstalk is back! I know it was just gone for a few hours but I missed you all. :)

[marini martini]

Thanks Slomo:toast:toast

[duncan228]

If you have problems with loading or logging out etc, I want to hear it.

The Troll Forum isn't loading completely. On the front page I get the thread title and the name of the last poster and everything else is red x's. It seems okay in the threads.

I know the troll forum was put back after we were back on, so maybe it's not fully on yet. But I thought I'd let you know.

[velik_m]

Liked the old style quoting better. Otherwise it looks good, but then again the looks haven't changed much.

p. s.
This new version has some nice features, like when you type your forum password it automatically changes it to bunch of *'s for other users. Here's mine: ******. :downspin:

[SAtown]

Everything is a lot faster, thanks a lot. Am I the only one who's crazy or was there a "Thread Starter" space to the left of the "Last Post?" Or has there always been the OP's name under the thread?

[duncan228]

Am I the only one who's crazy or was there a "Thread Starter" space to the left of the "Last Post?" Or has there always been the OP's name under the thread?

You're not crazy. It was the way you remember it, the thread starter name under the thread title is new.

[tlongII]

I still don't see a Blazers forum! :madrun

[Muki]

Just a quick thought for everybody that needs to relogin all the time: are you sure that you have selected the "Remeber me" checkbox next to username and password?

I know it's silly but even I fell for it once, and then spent 15 minutes looking why it makes me login all the time :)

[timvp]

I know it's silly but even I fell for it once, and then spent 15 minutes looking why it makes me login all the time :)Ditto. First time I logged onto this new software it kept logging me out ... until I clicked that checkbox. On the older version of vBulletin, it'd keep you logged in even if you didn't click the checkbox.

However, if people are clicking the checkbox and it's still logging you out, let us know.

[DieMrBond]

Nice work guys, great speed upgrade for me from home its loading far quicker than it ever did. Will be especially handy for those Game Thread refreshing sessions in the playoffs :)

Bravo!

Also, not sure if all the vBookie amounts have been transferred over, but you so should have fudged yours timvp - $1000? Surely the hardwork was worth more than that ;)

[SpursWoman]

Yeah ... after I posted earlier I saw it. My eyes weren't used to having to look for that after so many years. :nerd

I've done it a few times now...
Since late last night, I haven't had to log in, so maybe whatever was wrong yesterday is now fixed.
But yeah, I checked that box right away and was still having problems.

[Quasar]

Just wanted to say that I LOVE the enhanced loading speed!

[TampaDude]

SpursTalk much faster now...TampaDude happy...

[SpursWoman]

There are a lot of little additions that are so awesome ... like the spell checker, all of the editing tools on the quick reply box ... the little link when you quote someone that takes you to their original post...I keep finding new things that are really cool. :)

[mrsmaalox]

I'm liking it too. I can reply, but when I use the "quick reply" it takes me to the spell checker for the word "okay" then logs me off when I click it. The other reply works fine, and I don't get logged off anywhere else.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

What browser are you using?

[travis2]

I'm liking it...

I get hung up every so often...but I suspect that's an issue of communicating through a firewall. Pushing whatever button/link I originally pushed again usually fixes that.

Haven't had a problem with the log-offs...but another board I check out also is a vBulletin board, and I always have to check the "Remember Me" box with them. So I'm in the habit of checking it anyway.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Going well so far. Any start date on the arcade? I'm not rushing you guys, I just need to give my boss some idea as to when my productivity will completely bottom out.

[Kori Ellis]

No idea. We have to get all the main customizations done first.

will we have the quotes the way they used to be?

[Supreme_Being]

Yeah. I get logged out for no apparent reason, otherwise, works perfectly on Safari on my Mac.

It's baaaaack...it logged me out again.

[Supreme_Being]

Can you please being back the links from the Spurs forum to the Club forum to the Trolls forum?

[Dex]

Every time my girlfriend walks past Spurstalk, she hears hoots, hollers, and cat calls.

Can we do something about that?

[sabar]

The quoting style is much better, you can actually tell it apart from regular text. In threads where there is a bunch of quote-responses in a row, it could be hard to easily see the difference. Boutons is actually dead-on for once.

[smeagol]

boutons commenting on the quoting-box is like Bruce Bowen commenting on dunking.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

That quote is going into my sig . . .

My other shoog quote got old.

[SpursFanFirst]

:blah Will we have Chat back in time for tomorrow's game? :blah

[Kori Ellis]

I'm looking into the login problem. I haven't experienced it at all, but several people are. If you are having the problem, please post what browser you are using.

Regarding the other questions (navigation links, quote style, chat etc), as I said earlier we will be re-customizing everything in upcoming days.

Thanks,

Kori

[mrsmaalox]

Kori, I have IE and I am only being logged off of "Quick Reply".

[SpursFanFirst]

I have firefox, and I get logged off at random times...sometimes it's when I change forums, sometimes when I change threads, etc.

[rAm]

Random Thing:

Is it just me or do all of the topics look a little cluttered? It is hard for me to read the titles sometimes just because it looks like there is so much going on. Anyone else feel the same way? Is it because the OP name is right below it?

[Kori Ellis]

Yeah I believe the OP name is supposed to be in separate column. Like I said, it's going to take a while to re-customize everything. timvp will work on some of it today.

[Kori Ellis]

For those who keep missing it and are bitching on PM, email and everywhere else ...

Ban 'em. People that can't figure that shit out and then take the time to send a PM bitching about how stupid and lazy they are shouldn't even be allowed on the internets, much less taking up bandwidth that you are paying for. You're too nice, dammit. :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Every time my girlfriend walks past Spurstalk, she hears hoots, hollers, and cat calls.

Can we do something about that?

:lol Actually took me a few seconds to get that one.

See what you did, Sequ? Now you've gone and gotten Kori all pissed off. :madrun


By the way, that was just a guess.

[remingtonbo2001]

I'm sure they are the same people that email me about "violating their civil rights" when I do anything else on the forum.

No one told me about the class action lawsuit.

Is it too late to add my name? I'm sure this site violates me in more than one way.

[Kori Ellis]

LJ is working on the forum customizations right now. So if you experience a little slow down, that's why.

Navigation back up. :clap

[SpursFanFirst]

Kori and/or Timvp,
In the NBA forum (Pacers/O'Neal/Tinsley thread), I had a page that loaded incorrectly.
The info under the avatars ran into the next person's post...quite jumbled.
I got out and then got back in, and it worked fine.
I haven't noticed this in any other thread, but I thought I'd mention it in case anyone else had the same problem.

[boutons_]

Running perfectly for zip 78218.

Fast again. We'll see how it is during/after Game1 Saturday.

Excellent work. And many, many thanks.

Only complaint is that it clicking on the poster's name in the left column still doesn't have on the pull-down "Add <name> to you Ignore List". I told Slomo where that add-in is. Would be very useful in the playoffs as the trolls and shitheads pour in.

Is there an explanation of the hardware changes for speed up?

[duncan228]

Is the Troll Forum done yet?
The front page isn't loading right for me, it's a jumble of red x's, just the thread title shows.
Inside the threads is mostly okay, the on/offline shows as a red x with text.

I will look into that add-on (pull-down). There's a lot of stuff we will look at soon.

I don't know exactly what you are asking about hardware changes, but what we did was we moved from a one server to a two server system. We bought two brand new servers (both better than the previous one). One of them holds the servers database and the other one has everything else.

Because it's spread over two servers, it should be able to handle the peak traffic a lot better. Obviously we are still tweaking all the customizations, but in the long run things will be a lot better.

Is there an explanation of the hardware changes for speed up?Short answer: SpursTalk is now running on two servers instead of one. For exact specs, Slomo can post them if he wants to. I don't know the specs off the top of my head.

No. Slomo has to do that and he's traveling.

Thanks Kori. And you too timvp.

[Horry For 3!]

Is the Fantasy Sports part of the forum comin back soon?

[timvp]

Is the Fantasy Sports part of the forum comin back soon?Yes. Next couple days.

[timvp]

Today's Fixes:

-Top Right Navigation Reinstated
-Forum Jump Reinstated on Navigation Bar
-Signatures Again Show Once Per Page
-Thread Starter Column Reinstated

Expect the chatroom to return in time for Game 2. This chatroom will be the upgraded version of the old one. vBookie will also likely be fixed in the next day or two. Troll Forum and Fantasy Forums fixed in the next few days.

Once we get everything running properly, then the enhancements can begin . . .

[duncan228]

Thanks for all the work timvp and Kori (and Slomo).

The new features are wonderful, especially the new thread/reply ones. The more hands-on experience I have with it the more I find to like. There's a lot that just makes everything easier to do.

I wasn't aware of how much you guys customized the site. I'm glad the comforts of home are coming back. Thanks again for the time and effort, it's appreciated.

[Slomo]

Is there an explanation of the hardware changes for speed up?

As Kori and LJ said before it's now a two server setup. Both are DELL Poweredge servers. The bigger one is a 2950 with a quad core 3GHz CPU and very fast disks on a hardware RAID. It's running on FreeBSD because it's currently the fastest OS for running MySQL on (that's the database that VBulletin uses - unfortunately). That server is not connected to the internet but only to the front end HTML server via a Gb ethernet.

The front end is also a quad core server but slightly slower CPUs and disks (it's not the one doing the heavy lifting). That one runs OpenBSD because of its security features and both the html server and php are heavily optimized for VBulletin.

Muki did all the hard work on the setup and built into it all that we have learned about VBulletin in the past two years (and believe me its a lot - VBulletin is nice, but not written very nicely, although this new version is a lot better).

It's a very nice and quite expensive setup, despite our best effort to keep the cost down to a minimum.

timvp is currently configuring VBulletin back to it's former ST.com glory, and I'm working on fixing the graphic and some other minor stuff on the forum.

My first priority will be the Trolls and I'll start working on them after the game tomorrow (I just drove into SA 30 minutes ago).

Now I'm off to bed :)

[polandprzem]

Just my opinion

I don't like that quotation

[polandprzem]

btw. can it be done that in multiple page thread you can pick to go to the first one and the last 3 pages?

Right now it's 3 first pages and the last one


Bed must go I well as!

Expect the chatroom to return in time for Game 2.

FUCK!
I was looking forward to the chat tonight as the game won't be on tv over here. It probably will be for game 2. Oh well, can't have it all. Keep up the good work you guys.

I'll be missing being around y'all over there in SA these upcoming weeks!

:flag:

[Kori Ellis]

You can use the game blog thread for chatting for just this game. We will fix the chatroom up for game 2.

[Kori Ellis]

As for the quote style - I don't like the current version or the old version :lol so we might make something in between.

[SpursFanFirst]

That's just a case of your browser not loading properly. Only thing you can do is press refresh to fix it.

Thanks. I haven't had that problem since. I didn't think it was a big deal, but I wanted to alert someone to it in case others were having that problem.

[SpursFanFirst]

Today's Fixes:

-Top Right Navigation Reinstated
-Forum Jump Reinstated on Navigation Bar
-Signatures Again Show Once Per Page
-Thread Starter Column Reinstated

Expect the chatroom to return in time for Game 2. This chatroom will be the upgraded version of the old one. vBookie will also likely be fixed in the next day or two. Troll Forum and Fantasy Forums fixed in the next few days.

Once we get everything running properly, then the enhancements can begin . . .

:clap Awesome! Thanks...it sounds like you guys are putting in some long hours to get this thing back in tip-top shape! Much appreciated!

If that is possible it would be cool to add an instant quoatation.
Well I mean when marking the prhase you want and clicking the quotation button you will have (down in the quick reply) the quote and who was quoting the phrase.

I hope you did understand what I said


btw. not every icon which are on the right I can put clicking on it.

I just tried to add asshole "ransome" to my ignore list, but control panel : buddy/ignore lists shows just my ignore list and one entry box, but doesn't say which list I'm adding ransome to. Whatever, I can't add ransome to my ignore list.

Props to Slomo and Muki. Very nice performance out of the server during the game. It even works fast on my weak azz connection.

[ShoogarBear]

Nice performance. Just a heads-up: chat is going to be troll-overrun for game 2. There's a few Sun Fan idiots who seem to have made that their life's purpose.

I have no idea why that's happening. It's happening to a very low percentage of people and it doesn't seem any of you are using the same browser or anything.

Thank you, Kori!

[Slomo]

Thank you, Kori!
I mentioned this before, but I'm using Firefox.

It is very strange that this keeps happening to you specially in Firefox, since it has usually less weird cache problems than IE.

I know you tried this before, but I'm going to ask you to do it again just to be sure it's still an issue now that a few things have changed.

1.- Are you running the latest FF version (Help->Check for updates...)

1b.- Do you have a 3rd party firewall installed? If so please PM me which one and we'll try a couple of things but outside the public eye :)

2.- Clear your cache and cookies (Tools->Options...->Privacy and put a check mark next to "Ask me before clearing private data"->OK then go to Tools->Clear Private data and check that "cache" and "cookies" are selected and press "Clear Private Data now")

3.- log into the forum and make sure there's a check mark in the little box next to "remember me?" before clicking on the "log in" button.

4.- Go to a thread and then reload the page using Ctrl+F5 (it forces a full reload bypassing the cache) and you should still be logged in

If you are pay attention to what you were doing when/if it kicks you out again and PM me as much info as possible. Please try a few more times to log in and browse the forum so that we can maybe figure out a pattern (don't hesitate PMing me with as much info as you can remember or even with just a question).

Unfortunately I'm unable to replicate your problem on my computer so I need as much info as possible from you.

Thanks for your help!

[RashoFan]

Muki did all the hard work on the setup and built into it all that we have learned about VBulletin in the past two years (and believe me its a lot - VBulletin is nice, but not written very nicely, although this new version is a lot better).
Thanks to KORI, LJ, SLOMO and MUKI for ALL the hard work and effort that you all have put into this forum.!!!

Yeah, I just reported that in the Technical Issues thread. It appears to create the new page button when the current page fills up, instead of waiting for an actual post to start the new page. Seen it in a few other threads, too.

I just made a test post to the game thread, and now page 54 starts with that post.

It shouldn't be like that. We know a bunch of people are getting logged out and working on finding out why.

No. We are still getting the old features restored. We'll let you know.

You may be silent but your work speaks volumes.
Thank you. It's greatly appreciated.

[ShoogarBear]

Slomo should be treating Muki to a trip to the US and a Spurs game. Cheap bastard.

[Muki]

It shouldn't be like that. We know a bunch of people are getting logged out and working on finding out why.

Can those of you that get logged out confirm that you are using http://www.spurstalk.com and not http://spurstalk.com (without the www) ?

You will see the same forum either way, but your login is only valid for one of the two addresses at a time (for technical reasons I won't bother you with).

Also, if you get suddenly logged out can you check if your last action took you to the other version of the address?

I suspect we might have an incomplete link somewhere, and that is what is kicking you out - it's leading you to the other version of the address and your current login is not valid there.

my vbookie is gone, i blew it but really the server lied to me and took it from me at gunpoint

[statman32]

How do you use the vbookie option?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

There's also a tendency I've noticed of the Forum miscalculating the number of posts. For example, in the "Duncan a cry baby?" thread, there is currently 6 posts when viewing the thread, but when viewing the Forum it says there is 5 posts.

Hi Muki,
I'm one of the people who was repeatedly kicked out.
I've been working with Slomo, but to answer your question, I am, in fact, using http://www.spurstalk.com. It's saved in my computer like that as well.

I haven't mentioned this to Slomo yet, but I don't think I've had to login once today.
I didn't want to jinx it. I'll watch it over the next couple of days to see if it stays like that.

Thanks for all your help!

[SpursFanFirst]

How do you use the vbookie option?

Statman, there has to be a vBookie actually in play before you can use your cash. You'll see a thread on it...the title always starts with "vbookie."

You open the thread, and at the top, it will tell you how much you have to spend. You can use as little or as much as you'd like...you then place that amount on the line with the option you've chosen, then click "submit," I believe.
Once you bet, you can't bet again, of course.

You can always find one of the old vbookie threads to get an idea of what one looks like.
