What exactly is going on with trap17? these past few days the forums has been all but functional, below I will list the errors and non-working parts of trap17!

Quote

Messages won't load - When you click any PM's you are shown a blank page!
Fast reply is broken - Does nothing when clicked.
Posting form missing features - Replying to a topic form is missing the editing features, you are basically given a box and a submit button to post now.
Profiles are messed up - Links on profiles no longer work, this includes tabs, drop-downs and other links (I can no longer review posts I have made)
Shoutbox is REALLY broken this time - I can't even enter text! when I hit enter or press "shout" nothing happens and my text stays in the text box.

So do we need to rush trap17 to the Hospital?

Fast reply is working for me. Profiles are also working fine here. Links from other profiles so far are working for me and there is no problem with that. Problem is with loading of trap17 sometimes. flood control sometimes jack up the forums when there is lot of traffic. I think this slows down sometime but usually i find flood control message atleast 2-3 times in hour. Also PM system is broken and i can't even get into viewing it. I do get popup when someone sends me PM but i can't reply or go to PM section. So there is something horribly wrong with the PM system.

Any trap 17 admin have clue about PM ? it's broken for last few days.

Fast reply is working for me, in fact, this posting used it.
PM's are showing a blank page for me, too.

Has anyone submitted a support ticket?

[anwiii]

well there are more things wrong than just what was listed. i mention them in the shoutbox when i find them. why the heck would anyone write a support ticket. trap is falling apart and even the admins don't seem to care to comment on anything. so why write a support ticket?

admins don't care to comment, then i certainly don't care, but i will shout the problems when i see them....and there has been MANY recently. i am seriously thinking about leaving until the problems get fixed or at the VERY LEAST an announcement of what the heck is going on.

and with all the problems, we got spammed big time again today and it took hours to delete it. yea, knowledgesutra here we come! can't even get trap fixed the right way....

Seriously i think there needs to be upgrade for current forum version as suggested many times by sky- and ash. So that way there is likely to be a better upgraded ipb shoutbox as well. So this will solve some problems. i don;'t know why it is not being upgraded but i would like to know if we can atleast look into problem of pm and some other flood control issue. we can't go to PM area and can't view it as well. so this way we can't communicate with each other on forums.

Let's hope admins/mods don't get angry if people start to create personal threads if their PM is disabled. who knows that could be the only option as of now. is there any spam control enabled for PM ? or its just broken ?

I only noticed a problem with the pm system , hope it will be fixed soon
But i wish the CMS used here *ipb* to be changed , i love vbulletin ,its easy to use , easy to customize and with less bugs.

The admins may just be changing some things around, If it still continues after a day I report it in the client area on Computing host Xisto. Just to make sure they are aware of the problems the forum has. Though I do think there should post more announcements on what they are doing or even a Twitter to keep us valuable members informed.

If i'm not mistaken, trap17 is running the latest version of IPB's 2.3 series (2.3.6) an upgrade would mean upgrading to the newest series of IPB (3.x).
And that would cause SERIOUS problems because the code is totally different, and that would mean the credit system would no longer work as well as other things integrated into trap.
although the newer series of IPB looks more professional, it would not suit trap17, it would completely change the look and layout of the site and would take time to re-code all the mods.

Using IPB myself, maybe the cache of the forums needs rebuilt. my suggestion to opaque would be running the cache tools in the ACP.

:/ as I said above there's too many things integrated into trap to completely change forums, and what's wrong with IPB? it's my fav forum soft

PM System, Shoutbox and Fast reply works perfectly fine for me. I have no idea why it issn't for others?

EDIT: My bad....no it doesn't. It's broken also.

Everything but the PM system is working for me, as far as I have noticed.
