Website Software Upgrade

Recommended Posts

Oops, spoke too soon. Whenever someone responds to something I asked to be notified about, I now get two notification e-mails within seconds of each other.

I noticed that. But it doesn't happen every time. I will check the Mandrill logs tomorrow and check to see if it's a known issue.

OK - I checked the Mandrill logs and it is not happening with every email. But I can see it's the software sending duplicate emails on certain occasions - not every thread.

I am going to play with the email settings - I notice there is a new section in the backend dedicated for Mandrill users so I will play with that.

In the meantime - if you are getting multiple email notifications from a particular thread, can I ask you to try un-following that thread and re-following it to see if that fixes the problem for you.

Can we please have a preview option when posting? Actually a better, more comprehensive editing interface would be great.

 

 

I am somewhat restricted as I am not the developer. We use software developed by Invision.

The editing interface may be a somewhat independent module, if you tell me if it has a name or what config choices you have I'll look up its docs or source.

@jdm It's CKEditor, I can install plugins but at this time I do not wish to change anything, I have just managed quite a big update on the site and I don't want to add more potential burden. As much as possible I want to keep the IPS software without third party add ons as I have a huge roadmap of development I am working on (A custom LMS for WRT members) - I will look at the editor in more detail in the future.

Yes technically preview is a plugin in CKEditor, but it's a standard one, not a third party. It only has to be enabled in the toolbar. 

http://ckeditor.com/addon/preview

That's why I was saying before that the defaults chosen by software packagers are often inadequate for real world. You update something to do good but then find out that much stuff doesn't work as before even if assured it was a "100% seamless upgrade".

Thank you VM for you hard work Mark!

@jdm I have checked the available options I have and preview is not available in the back end. So I regret that I wont be implementing it as I don't want to stray away from the vanilla install at this time (notice I am even using the supplied skin without tweaks). I just don't want to over burden myself when it comes to future updates. I hope you understand my reasoning.

No problem. I suspect the preview button would appear among the available ones after just installing plugin.
I find it particularly useful because I'm never able to do things right or up to my satisfaction at the first try.

@jdm Create Status is to change your status in your profile (Similar to Facebook).

And create link is for people to submit links for approval to the directory of horology websites.

    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
