Odd things happening

Hi Andy
Is this resolved now?
I understand it's harder for Australian's to empty their cash - they've got so much of it.

Cheers Mr PM,
No, all squiggly, coloured lines still but all the important bits work fine so no matter really. Probably summat my end??
Thanks,
and.

Hello Mr PM, emptied the cache and the squiggly sloshy bits all gone, but now I have two side bar menus every time that I can't get rid of

I'm not surprised there are some teething problems. Although the idea was to keep everything looking the same, it has required quite radical changes. I didn't take the decision to do it lightly, in view of the work involved and problems it was bound to cause. The server overload issue forced me into it really. However, for reasons stated above, it's a better system.

I think you're trapped within the old frameset. Sounds painful, but I believe there's a cure...
I can't see the address bar in your screen grab, but I'm guessing it looks like this:

Code: Select all

www.pennymachines.co.uk/..htm?Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3714&p=22331

when it should look like this

Code: Select all

www.pennymachines.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3714&p=22331

The difference is the ..htm? bit, which is the extra (now defunct) navigator frame.

This would happen if you visit the site from one of your old saved links, for example.

One of two things to try:
Click on the Forum flag on the second navigator. This should reload the Forum correctly.
Or click this link: [url]viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3714&p=22331[/url] - which should reload this page correctly within a new window.

Sounds like progress to me. I think your browser cache is now cleared. Please try the suggestions above.

That's annoying, but par for the course I guess. Unfortunately, until I swap my old teleprinter for one of those new-fangled phones, I may not be able to fix it. I'll see what I can do...

Brilliant!! thanks Mr PM, I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way....................................

One a serious note, thanks for keeping this site going Mr PM and all your hard work in the background

Seconding arrgee on that, cheers Mr PM.
As if by magic all's returned to normal.

Hi PM
I didn't have a side bar
Now it's back
Now your site is too wide for my screen!
I've reduced it to 75% , but now I can't read the writing.
Perhaps you have

It all appears to be working normally now
Perhaps I dreamt it!

Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone has noticed the "Last time visited" icon, Mine says: Thu Jan 01 1970. WOW if only I new then what I know now .

WOW if only I new then what I know now .

But would it be new?

[pennymachines]

Thanks for the feedback.

That's good. I spent hours yesterday ironing out those little gremlins (unless I dreamt it)
I think they're now mostly resolved. Tested on versions of Firefox, Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Internet Explorer and some others on Windows and Linux. Also tested others via online emulator, including iPhone. Some parts of the site not addressed yet.

Coin-op - I also saw the lost navigator issue you emailed about yesterday and think it's fixed now.

I was wondering if anyone has noticed the "Last time visited" icon. Mine says: Thu Jan 01 1970.

That's weird. Anyone else getting that? I'll see what I can discover.
Hmmm... Jan 01 1970 - wouldn't we all like to nip back for a few days shopping.

Ah, that explains something for me. I too had noticed the double sidebar on many occasions, then when I looked again it was gone.

When I come to the site using my saved bookmark, I get a double side bar on every forum I visit, UNTIL I click on the "Board Index" link at the top of the page. After that, no more double side bars anywhere. Everything else seems depressingly normal in Firefox, no exciting squiggly lines at all.
