Recent Posts..

Are you talking about on the sidebar?  Or at the bottom of the main forum page?  Or somewhere else?

"recent forum activity" on the front page of wc hasn't changed for me in the last few days.

Its what I and I believe everyone I know uses to navigate and keep track.

lord knows , I hear about it everyday from someone.  

Right now, Main Page, Gallery Page and Forums sidebar is not working at all.

For me using FF3......

The main forum page https://forums.wincustomize.com/
under "Recent Posts" is always hours behind. In the morning shows post just prior to midnight but about 12 noon the next day it catches up to about 9:00am then sometime after 3:00 pm it will catch up to nearly noon. repeat cycle

When I use the "more recent posts" link I can see the actual current activity.

It's been this way for several months and I assumed it was common for everyone due to the site upgrades. I am aware that FF3 is/was not a "supported" browser.

Now I wonder if there's not something about my account causing it. I still can only rarely rate skins even though I'm logged in. I can't change the current desktop on my site either.

You know what guys?
On Saturday, the "Recent Forum Activity" links were like 2 days old. At first I thought everyone's playing "Finish the sentence" and checking the "Impulse Support Thread", etc, but then I realized that the other posts remained there too.
Some time later when I re-visited WC, I got a Service Unavailable written on the page in bold black Tahoma, with no background.
After a couple of F5's, I left it for a while to check on later.
I did check later and it apparently loaded fine. Everything was there, except that the front page had absolutely different articles like Forum Maintenance and Ask a Moderator posts by ID.
:LOL: The date was February 11 or something of earlier this year. I wonder why that happened?
I'm using FF3, but there's no reason that WC travels back to February to show me completely unknown threads, etc. I wasn't even a member then!

BTW, there were some very nice Valentine skins, and I got to do some browsing :d

Same thing here for ages, months. Recent posts is pretty good on home page at times, but when you go to another page the recent posts are different than the page you were just on, no where even near close.

Bump

Moving to the correct forum so andrew_ can hate us more

Silly.. andrew loves everyone.. its obvious.   

He is Andrew....we are like the buzzing of flies to andrew

I noticed this past weekend that the forums were showing stuff from February!

https://forums.wincustomize.com/recent 

That's the page I use for 'recent'....infact it's my primary URL for 'Wincustomize.com'.

Skin-surfing, etc is almost always via Admin anyway...;)

Snidely....are you sure you are in the "today" mode? Had your morning coffee? You get your own special WC webpage?

How come I don't? :-((

Thats what I have started using too, but...the point was the sidebar is broke.. to be able to come to Forums or Main page.. view 'all in one'.. is broke.. isn't it?

Earth to WC devs..  :p 

Andrew is wicked busy with other projects (many which will benefit WC later).  I wouldn't consider this a high priority in his book.

Since the forums haven't worked right in a long long time, one would wonder just what is highest priority in satisfying paying subscribers. The other Stardock sites seem to run pretty smooth. As a paying subscriber, I certainly don't feel like Stardock is honoring their part of the subscription. Saying that the developers have more important things on their plate only drives the knife in further. :NOTSURE:

I am not sure if I will be subscribing again. It would be foolish of me based on the site performance the past couple of years.

For what it's worth . .I don't speak for Stardock or WC.  :)  These are my thoughts only based on tidbits picked up from posts here and there.

Oh sure. Rarely any ads showing lately and then I read this thread and the ads come back with a vengeance on every page now. I think you've brought down the wrath of andrew_ :LOL:

Niice  :NOTSURE: 

Le sigh. Let's set the record straight:

• I/Webdev dont make our priority lists public
• Zubaz is not an authority on what our present or future project, todo list, or priority list is. (Sorry to bash you in public, but you didnt leave me much choice)
• When an issue gets reported (and this one was) it immediately gets attention. We almost always investigate right away so we know what kind of time is required to resolve the issue.

Also, I want to say that negative and/or pessimistic comments like those left by a few users in this post do absolutely nothing constructive and definitely do not make the devs or anyone else more motivated. They do nothing but reflect poorly upon the author. Normally I would moderate the bajeezus out of this post and some of the comments that were left, but I want them to remain as an example of how not to participate in a 'Site Issues' post.

This particular issue has been identified and fixed in an upcomming new version of the forums. The changelist for the new version is already a 10kb text file. We're working on hardware and network upgrades to accompany the new version and will be migrating forum sites to the new version as we are able.

Post Locked. Issue Closed.
