Reality Check

There's a lot of factors that can cause that - not all of them forum/site related...

Got that a lot today actually, had to use my phone to browse watmm instead of my computer.

has the Jump To Page X button problem been fixed? I still can't use that button at all, takes me to page 1 everytime

I noticed this problem the other day.

when browsing topics on tapatalk, you can't see the names of people who are being quoted. The texted is just indented.

Not yet - waiting for the patch, which they are taking their time with, unlike the last patch, that introduced most of these bugs...

Probably a Tapatalk issue, or a combination thereof. The forum patch plus a Tapatalk update will probably resolve both, hopefully.

Quick question, would it be possible to purchase subscriptions for other members as gifts? Just thought it'd be an idea that'd allow a goodwill gesture to members that contribute here whilst helping the funding of WATMM out with the funding issues.

I can't enter the site most of the time by clicking the link on the front page.

Sure - you could make a donation, and in the notes put that you'd like a subscription for a particular user.

I'm assuming you mean the main site, http://watmm.com - you are clicking on the text (the only text), right? What browser are you using out of curiosity?

i can't sign in from the front page (not sure if that's what you're discussing)... i have to open a subforum, then sign in... using chrome.

You mean you can't sign in from the main forum index, but CAN sign in when you're in a subforum? What happens on the forum index when you click "sign in"? do you get a modal window to enter your username and password?

I had something like that at work. Sign in did nothing the first time I came to forum.watmm.com. I found one refresh sorts it out. Actually it happens every time.

That's on Chrome too btw.

*edit* carry on

Yes, and Chrome. I just pulled up the main page and I click on the text and nothing happens. I think it might just be on my end though. I'm going to do a reformat, because I've got weird things happening. Shockwave player is crashing, Pandora isn't working correctly, and some weird plugin installed itself on my browser that I can't seem to get rid of completely.

Try F5 each time. A lot quicker.

Very odd - by the way, the patch came out yesterday, so I upgraded the forum - hopefully a few if not all of the bugs are finally cleared up.

In other depressing news, I found out that the VigLink integration they added a few versions ago broke my VigLink account and I haven't been getting revenue for VigLinks for all of December and most of January. I fixed it last night. FML.

VigLinks is the revenue generator we use here to help offset hosting costs by monetizing click through on related links - better than putting ads on the site, and totally transparent to the users.

Do any music sites (eg Bleep, Boomkat, Norman Records, and whatever the big non-UK ones are) allow affiliate click-throughs ? Obviously this being such a big music site I would've thought the New-Release subforum could make some money for this place if we had links to buy the release using this place as an affiliate.

Seems there's no need for F5 at work now.

it seems threads with a poll can't be marked as read

I think they get marked as unread as soon as someone adds another vote to the pole even if there's no extra posts made.

I don't think that's the case, I'm testing it now and each time I go back to general banter, the autism spectrum thread is always marked as unread

I don't know if they are associated with VigLink, but that's certainly a logical idea (and a damn good one too).

hey joy does posting big sized images on the forum make any bad??? i wonder every time i post a big movie poster... and since i post quite a lot...

Large images will be resized automatically by the forum, but you shouldn't post anything too large just out of courtesy for your fellow boardmembers...
