Post by: Unknown Target on May 24, 2005, 10:32:11 pm: By the way, when and why did Carl stop being an admin? I never found that out.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Corsair on May 24, 2005, 11:13:05 pm: If you went over to NW and read the admin forum that an0n mirrored, I think it was explained there.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Carl on May 24, 2005, 11:34:36 pm: no one told me why. a pm would have been nice. i've just assumed that they didn't really need me anymore (they don't).

I was made an admin for the FS story thing, and for the mod database. well, we finished FS story, and the mod database went boom, so Carl outlived his usefulness. Really, i was an Admin for longer than i should have been.

Post by: Sandwich on May 25, 2005, 12:41:00 am: That's a classic example of what happens when the browser doesn't load the CSS file. SHIFT-F5 (or SHIFT-click on refresh for Firefox) should do the trick.

And I barely remember you being unadmined. I think I was fresh on the team at the time. :nervous:
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Kosh on May 25, 2005, 12:51:29 am: That's what happens to me when I try to look at the main page in Firefox. No amount of refreshing works (I just tried your idea and it didn't work).

Post by: Krackers87 on May 25, 2005, 01:07:02 am: same here in ie.

Post by: Sandwich on May 25, 2005, 01:10:16 am: Can you download or otherwise access this link: http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/hlp/scripts/style.css

That's the CSS.

Although the fact that you couldn't load the images means something is probably wrong between your computer and the server. Again. :rolleyes:
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Kosh on May 25, 2005, 01:13:41 am: It's displaying what looks like source code of some sort. Is that what it should be displaying?
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Mongoose on May 25, 2005, 01:25:15 am: It looked fine to me on Firefox just a few minutes ago.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Setekh on May 25, 2005, 02:16:46 am: I had just the same thing earlier in the day, Carl. It looks to be repaired for now.

Post by: Swamp_Thing on May 25, 2005, 05:23:27 am: Uh, strange.... It´s now happening to me too! Odd enough, this never happened before until i installed the latest Windows security patch. Maybe that´s it?

EDIT: And i can´t see most avatars in the forum either.

By the way I use IE and the front page seems normal.

Now was that really necessary :rolleyes:

Main page is fine for me too, IE and Firefox. The dynamic main-page has always been a little slow, maybe it's timing out?

Possibly by referencing dynamic4, when there seems to be no more 4.

Why don't you guys just alternate QUOTE and Q tags? Like this:

Quote
[q]
Quote
[q]

[q]Headache....[/q]
[/q]

Post by: Deepblue on May 25, 2005, 05:06:39 pm: Heh, it actually didn't work for me when I hit the quote button, but I filled in some quote tags and info and it worked fine.

everything being redirected to dynamic.gamespy.com

I´m being redirected there too. Does it have something to do with a guy´s geographical location?
How do i connect to another working server? I don´t use the main page much (i jump straight to forums), but it would be nice to be able to actually make sense of the page, when i do visit it...
Anyway to fix this on my end?

Post by: Sandwich on May 26, 2005, 04:06:18 pm: We got this email from GS:

[q]Hi Dynamic Site Users,

We have been working to improve our dynamic server performance over the last several months. As many of you may be aware, we now have a clustered and load-balanced server farm supporting your dynamic sites - we no longer are setup with standalone servers.

Yesterday we made a change in the way we handle dynamic paths. DynamicX(2 through 6).gamespy.com now permanently redirect to dynamic.gamespy.com. This may have affected the functionality of your PHP scripts, if you have utilized hardcoded paths.

We have run a scan and replace for dynamicX.gamespy.com to dynamic.gamespy.com to correct such problems. We also would like you to manually check your code and utilize dynamic.gamespy.com in future coding.[/q]

Post by: kode on May 26, 2005, 04:39:00 pm: so these 'problems' people's been having could be because of cache or something, then?
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Setekh on May 26, 2005, 10:08:10 pm: Yeah, that's one of the big causes. Once I had cleaned out my cache and reloaded the pages, things were pretty much back to normal.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Swamp_Thing on May 27, 2005, 02:41:52 pm: So the next obvious question is, how do i clean the cache? Do i need to manually delete my cookies?
Title: Teh main page
Post by: pyro-manic on May 27, 2005, 02:47:18 pm: There should be a "clear cache" button or something in your browser options menu. In Firefox it's Tools-->Options-->Privacy.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Swamp_Thing on May 27, 2005, 03:04:53 pm: I deleted my cookies manually. And It all works now. I´m glad it was a simple thing to fix.
Title: Teh main page
Post by: Sandwich on May 27, 2005, 04:32:36 pm: SHIFT-F5 (in IE) or SHIFT-Click on Refresh (in FF) forces the browser to reload the page, media and everything, bypassing the cache entirely.
