Hey Guys,

So I just updated the Core files for BBM, so far I already see some errors (specifically images are not where they should be). If you guys spot any others please let me know. Thanks!

Hello!

I just started seeing this last night and I'm not sure if it is on your end or my ISP's. When I first get to the forums front page, the last post shown hasn't updated since what I posted last night, but as soon as I log in, I can see that there are new posts in a couple of the forums.

I took a couple screen shots, but I don't have time to upload them right now. If you want me to email them to you this evening, drop me a line.

Thanks,
Owlie

Hey Owlie, Yeah that is on

Hey Owlie,

Yeah that is on purpose actually, I have it so the website generates static HTML pages for everyone who isn't logged on to help with the server bandwidth. As soon as you login you are accessing everything from the database which gives up to the second updates. Not an error, but you have a keen eye Owlie! Hoooo hoooo!!

Drives the IT guys at work nuts.

That is a pretty cool function. For the people who are just casually perusing the site, it isn't a big deal if they can't see the latest post. For the rest of us, just log in like always to get our fix. :)

Thanks for all your work, Ben. This is a great community that you are building.

Ok.....adding the option to format the posts and replies with colors is a good one.... now if it would just translate from the typed post to the final product after saving it.

So, I just put in my first picture under the new system.  I'm not sure that the display size option is working.  The pictures are saved as 800x600, but I thought that I put in 400x300 for the display size.  It looks like they are displaying in 800x600 size though.

The thread is at http://www.bestbeginnermotorcycles.com/forum/forum/3200/snow-mountains

Also, can I check for myself what I put in for those options?  Or would I just have to strip it out and put it back in if I think I made a mistake?

Thanks,
Owlie

What about the email?

I'm not sure if this is related, as I'm new to the website, but it seems like no matter how I set up the preferences in my account, I get a ton of email each day from the website and it doesnt seem to matter if I am subscribed to a thread or not or if I uncheck all the settings?  I don't want to mark BBM as spam mail?  can someone help me?  Maybe its a web error.

I double checked your subscriptions and unsubscribed you to all the other threads you were previously subscribed to. See if this helps, if not please reply so I can figure out what else is wrong. Thanks Bob!

Last night I came home and had 7 emails from user generated posts/comments including the one above. I deleted them and decided to wait and see if your adjustments would take effect. This morning I opened my email and another 7 emails. With everything unchecked and unsubscribed, I still get notified every time there is new activity. I've never had a website do this to me before.

Hey Bob,

Ok, I just went to the 'master settings' for the subscription module and turned everything off for all users (unless they previously set it in their own settings which I double checked yours). You should NOT be getting any more e-mail. If you are please let me know, I will have to disable the module if for some reason you are still getting e-mail and you don't want to.

Still getting email

Bob Harley's picture
Submitted by Bob Harley on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 02:54.

So I got 5 more emails today. I imagine as the site admin you must be more perplexed than I am? I've been posting this on the forum, instead of sending private messages to you, in the hope that others would chime in and share if they are having a similar experience. Really what I wanted to do was set it up so that if subscribed to a specific post I would get updates each time those posts got comments added to them. I tried several different settings. In the beginning I would get 30 to 40 emails a day of all posts whether or not I subscribed, so I tried to change the frequency from instant to daily, but that only reduced the emails to 10 to 15 a day. I then tried turning everything off, but it still comes. And now you double checked that and it still comes. If anyone else reads this, please share your email experience. Do other people get emails for posts they are not subscribed to? I find that if I do not check my email over the weekend, I will have 40 to 50 emails by the time monday rolls around. Thanks for looking into this, I wasn't trying to break the website. It must be my mechanic's touch.... ;p

Thanks, Brian.

That sucks Brian! I don't want BBM to spam anyone. Thats crazy you are getting 40-50 e-mails over a weekend. *sigh* Well I'm going to disable the subscription module for now until I can figure out a better solution. Sorry for the trouble!

When Ben first turned this

Submitted by eon on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 17:33.

When Ben first turned this module on I started getting a flood of emails so I went into my settings and turned the notifications off and that fixed it. It's been so long I cannot remember what I did exactly but I'm sure you would have tried the same settings. Not sure why it worked for me (and presumably everyone else) but not you. Guess you are just lucky!

That did the trick

Submitted by Bob Harley on Thu, 10/15/2009 - 04:17.

As of 8:46 PM on 10/13 the flood of emails finally stopped. I had accumulated another 13 since my last posting. I had gotten so used to deleting the emails, that now 24 hours later my delete button is feeling lonely. :(

I like the idea of the subscription module, it just needs to have the bugs worked out. Email from the website is a good thing when it's stuff people want to be updated on, kind of like good publicity. My real confusion was the fact that no matter what I did the results were the same. It felt like one of those bizarre 1960's psychology studies where the attach the electrode to you and give you a set of instructions. You believe that by following the instructions all should go well. Secretly though the shocks are being sent to you randomly because you were chosen for the control group...

I'm don't know much about website design, but when you are ready to relaunch the subscription module, let me know and I'll be one of the first to give you feed back. I think that it's a good feature that just needs to be fixed.

Thanks, Brian

Was there an option in the subscription features to "Reset to Default Settings"? I remember a friend of mine who was working on his own computer stuff and one of the glitches he encountered early on was if the setting weren't reset to default, any new settings would not take effect. I could be something really simple like that.
