Not sure how well things are working. Report problems here.
Congrats on the overhaul!
Only weird thing I noticed is that 'updated topics' is showing me just five threads that seemingly that range from their most recent post being over a year ago, to a month ago.
Not sure how to embed an image anymore but I could DM you a screenshot on instagram you'd like to see what I'm talking about.
Looking good!
Is there a way to get the links that were at the top of the old page back? That was very handy.
hey hey! We're online!
Only thing I noticed is that when I first pulled up the page I tried to log in. When I did, it did NOT show that I was logged in. I had to actually open this thread to see that I was properly logged in. Weird!
Also... no avatar. Need to upload again??
same here
We're back! My avatar did not show up first either, and a different user name was appearing; that seems to have sorted itself out.
Looking forward to the restocks; I have parts for a Current Lover itching to be installed. :D
Digging the overhaul, good to have this little corner of the inter web back!
my username on the front page currently shows up as haberdasher, which imputes a level of skill and expertise that I just do not possess. When I click through to my profile, it shows my info though.
Time zones NOT working under Forum Profile. Tried to set it to EST but it is still 1 hour too slow (its really 11AM EST and forum shows 10AM) and when I try to go back further... I get a token error :-\
Hey, we're back!
I went to this thread via the main menu. When I got here there were no buttons on the top and no way to post.
I went back to home and clicked the "unread topics" button, this thread was one of those. When I came here through that route all the buttons were populated.
Yeah ditto. Weird, just took a refresh and it looks good now. Nice to have the forum back!!!
Definitely a problem with cookie storage. That would explain most everything. I'll see if I can get it sorted.

Yeah, I'm getting Aleph Null, but it seems to be my account:
(https://i.imgur.com/jPlIyR4.png)
Seems to be ok now.
I'm seeing the reverse. It also seems to be my account.
I wonder if it's cookie related... for some reason it's okay on my phone, but on desktop after clearing them it won't let me log in at all. Strange. But glad it's up!
When on the homepage, it indicates I haven't logged in with options for login or signup. When I come to this thread, it shows me logged in at the top left of the page. I also can't see the content headings for members - just the links for the general pop open to everyone. Glad you're back up. Looking forward to full functionality.
There is a cookie problem for sure. There are several options for how cookies are used in the smf admin panel but none of them seem to be helping. I've tried enabling local cookie storage and forcing SSL forwarders. For the meantime we are just going to have to put up with a half operating forum until I can get it fixed. But, better this than leaving the whole thing offline like it has been for the last few weeks.
The other thing that's happening is it seems when people log in the user panel shows someone else's account (as people have mentioned). There's no access to other member's accounts, it just shows their member name as far as I can tell.
I may have to just give up the ghost and pay for something like Xenforo and also someone to migrate the database to it. I'm not against that, it's just frustrating as hell.
Can't log in using Safari, I sent an email with a screen shot.
test. I hope this is posting as my (jessenator), because I can see things that aren't mine ???
Like, I can see more of the whole user control panel, options to change another users data, see their PMs, etc. it's all there... a bad actor's wildest dream.

came to the forum to check if it's back yet and had some other name, but once i logged in it was fine.
glad to see it back and the shop had changes made, sent you a email thinking something happened, glad it was just the updating you mentioned some time ago.
after posting i was sent back to the main section, appeared to be logged out. cookies are kind of working properly, haven't been in a CMS in a long while so i'm probably of no help. ;D
Still randomly showing as logged in and then when moving to a thread or back to main page it shows as logged out.
Also, posts on threads do not show up after posting. They take a bit of time to show.
EDIT: Also, forum time is screwed up. Even when I can select a time zone to get it to show as correct, as soon as I change pages it reverts back to the wrong time. If you change the time zone too many times you get a "token error" and it is still screwed up.
Checking in this morning, I am still logged in from yesterday, so the system is remembering me.
Welcome back! I just hit the front page to log in, and it showed me already logged in as dan schumaker, who I'm not. But after navigating a few pages, my login name shows correctly in the banner, and it's my account settings.
Yay!
Also: mother of god where's the dark mode option?
I was logged on as Haberdasher, or Jimilee, or myself depending on what area of the forum I was in.
Wasn't able to post in the build reports until I was, neither are showing up in the subs, and with the second one I got an error page saying I'd already submitted the post.
Things are getting better. The home page remembers me being logged in, and I'm still logged in when I navigate back to it, and I can see the hosted support forums now when none of this was working for me yesterday. Keep tinkering!

Click on username in upper left of top bar, select Look and Layout, click "CHANGE" next to Current Theme\Forum or Board Default, scroll down to "Dark Caramel", select "USE THIS THEME"
Things seem to be coming together on mobile. Haven't tried signing in on desktop today
At least I'm not able to change derevaun's info anymore ;)

I'm looking forward to enjoying any improvements you've made ;D
FWIW it seems to be closer to normal now, showing logged in on all the pages I've tried. It is a great mystery. Also a great use for those eclipse glasses, with the light mode an all.

Just tried this. When you hit the "Change" button, it will change to Dark Caramel. However, when you hit the "Home" button... it reverts back to the original theme. If you go back and try to change it again... TOKEN ERROR >:(
Tokens, you say?

wooo, I can log in on desktop! And that dark shmexy caramel, too
Just clear your browser cookies / site data and you should be good.
Edit: Nope, still having issues
Is there any sort of server-side caching enabled? This is a performance option that basically generates a static page the first time a page is viewed, and the cache is an HTML copy of what was viewed that is served to visitors instead of regenerating the page from scratch each time.
Typically the cache should be set up so that it's bypassed for logged-in users. If it's being generated and loaded even when a user is logged in, you would see the issues reported here (that I am seeing as well) where as you click through different pages, sometimes you're logged in, sometimes not, and sometimes you are a different user or there's a different theme.
Cool seems back here.

That's a good point. I will disable the cache and see if that helps.

It wasn't an option at the time I posted that lol
I'll get some more themes installed. I don't think the one we used before is compatible. But I can make the caramel one the default. Also, I'll get some of the old plug-ins reinstalled in a few days.

Change is hard, the old dark theme felt like home lol
Chocolate is very ... brown. Yup. Brown! Bean-like, even!
I am not complaining FTR, it was just kinda culture shock lol
Me likes the brown. It all seems to go back and forth between brown and light as I get around.
Still can't log in on my iPhone or tapatalk. Help me!!! ;D
The mobile responsive experience isn't the worst.
Not a tapatalk fan, so I'm biased :P
I'm not at home now. I'll work on it this coming week. Thanks for your patience folks.
The login issues seem to be resolved from here. I'm still getting used to the new color ways. The mobile experience is much nicer now!
Hi Brian, i got disconnected with chrome and cannot reconnect. I can connect with Firefox.
I can't see what i post until 10 to 15 minutes pass.
Back on chrome.
I can only log in with Chrome Browser.
All other Browsers (Firefox, Brave, Edge) kick me out after seeing one page. And I have to log in twice to see that one page. No matter if on phone or desktop.

Thanks for letting me know. The site should be switched from shared hosting to VPS today. This will give me more control and hopefully allow me to configure the server correctly.
Alerts are being really glitchy. I started out with 3, marked all of them "read", they cleared, then immediately went back to 3 when I navigated to a new page. But after navigating to a few other pages they cycled between 0 and randomly as 2. Now it's back to the original 3. "New" tags won't clear on anything regardless if I click "mark read", view the post, etc.
It looks like the caching issues are back. If the hosting got switched then I would guess the caching settings need to be adjusted again.
Oh, no! What happened to "Donut"?
Mmm...donut.
Brian, really like the new site!

I've got the cache off (after the switch). But maybe I should run the repairsettings.php that you can use with smf. Lemme see if there's a remaining cahce that can be purged. So annoying.

I'm seeing duplicate posts when someone posts. And it's night two in a row, either, it's several posts down.

My profile is still showing the wrong name, although recently the picture has changed to me.
in safari on desktop, the 'unread posts' tab at the top just logs me out. not an issue on safari for mobile.
Edit: doesn't work on mobile either now
Finally got logged in. I had to manually delete the old cookies and refresh.
Still having login issues. The forum doesn't seem to be passing login information when you actually click on specific posts. I'll be logged in on the main forum page, but then click on a specific post in "open discussion", and then I'm logged out.
Yep, I still see that issue too. There are some others I've noticed as well.
I randomly switch to the brown theme for a post and then back to regular.
The unread posts page doesn't immediately clear once I've visited, it takes a little while.
Going to a post I've visited always takes me to the first post/page.
Edit: it took about 2 hours for this post to show up for me.
I just got the change to brown theme and Brian's profile showed up when I clicked on that thread. I go to another page and its back to normal.
Thanks again guys. I'm going to get on top of this later this week. I'll either get it solved or look into migrating the forum. This is beyond dumb.
It's been better here. there is still significant delay between a post and its appearance and other basic stuff but the login issue are mostly gone. I removed the madbean cookies on chrome but i'm not sure that was the solution.

This seems to be working for me now.
When visiting Recent Unread, I see the default theme and in the top left I'm signed in as a different user. That page at least is still being cached server-side. Once I clicked into a thread it was back to normal.
Was mostly doing okay, but I'm getting intermittent "phantom" browsing. Today I clicked on several different links and it showed me as someone different each time. Logged out, cleared cookies and site data, still doing it :-\
I go to my PM inbox and it shows someone else's
I'm getting random login issues. I seem to be logged in but the home screen reverts to the original color theme and if I try to login again I get the spinning wheel. I seem to be able to go to individual areas of the forum and read (https://www.gordomusic.com/Madbean/Screenshot%202024-07-06%20071613.png)d unread posts.
It's Gordo. Not able to log in.
Edit: yet it's showing up as me... This is from a Firefox desktop if that helps.

Did you try chrome? That's the only way I can log I .

Well, it's all fucked up again. I tried making one change in server settings and it instantly started breaking things. I have a support ticket out to my host so hopefully that sheds some light.
Otherwise, it's going to be time for a new, different forum.
:(
Sorry guys. I'm hoping support will come through. But, if it doesn't I have plans. I won't give up on having this community for us. Even if it's just 10 people posting.
Cool. Can log in again :)
I have found a temporary workaround that works for me.
After clearing any cookies, go to https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php? (https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?) with the "?" at the end of the normal url to login and anytime you are going back to the main forum page. This seems to bypass the cache and make the request to the forum itself.
Hope this helps!

Cool, I will give this a try. On a related note, after 7 days I got no response from my provider on my support request. Very disappointing.
