* New beta test sign up

This problem is a general issue with people linking to prohibited images.

I will one-day force people to upload images to prevent this kind of problem (and to stop people linking to HUGE images, which happens all too frequently.)

I can see no avatar URLs linking to these hosts now though, so I assume someone has fixed the problem.

When searching forum posts by author, I found that I couldn't access more pages of posts. Only one page was available, and there were no links to other pages.

The PHP5 upgrade appears to be working perfectly now, so that is ready to roll out next week.

Later today I will be making a few code tweaks, which again will benefit from the being tested by people using this version of the site. This will result in the beta site being unavailable for an hour sometime today as the upgrade takes place.

If the beta version is unavailable, just use the regular site. Thanks.

I take it you'll tell us what they are so we can actually test them?

The changes have not been uploaded yet, mainly because they took longer than planned, and I need to test thoroughly myself first.

Although a lot of changes are cosmetic (in the code), they are widespread, which is why I have taken this opportunity to make them while people are testing on a separate server.

Again, just using the site as normal is the best test.

Our main web server was taking a battering earlier, but we are working to resolve that ASAP. Hopefully it will be better by tomorrow night.

Does one of the fixes include the cancellation of repetative entering the password whenever an icon is not loading (which happens often)...?

I have never experienced this problem with either the old site or the new site.

Russ,

I received the following errors in between:
1) ERROR V2 RHP Secure authentication query failed.
Sorry, an error occurred. Please report this problem.

and

2) ERROR Failed on update move history
Sorry, an error occurred. Please report this problem.

The first one was I think when I clicked on 'Forums' and the other one when I tried to make a move.

I don't understand this one either. More detail? Screen grabs, possibly?

This is because you are using a password-protected directory. It is not the same as your username/password for accessing the site. Enter the beta password in the dialog box, and ask it to remember your password.

This should solve your problems.

-Russ

Oh, yes, but that is what I did, the beta log in name and password. And I have tried setting it to remember the password. But that was of no help. Please note entering the password just once (and correctly of course) was not always enough. Some icons were able to load, but it seems the beta server was struggling on some remaining icons and asked for my password again a few seconds later.
