Site Glitches


Those who are having site problems right now: The Eagle guys are adding the third web server into our live rotation. Up until now we were using only two of the three.

This activation is not happening without hiccups, so please stand by.

Don't know if what you are working on

will fix this but whenever I click in to read a Member Diary I only see the Comments list. The Recommended Diaries, RedHot and Member Diaries disappear. Using IE 8 (not by choice). Don’t recall if this was also happening at home with Firefox.

Thanks for all of your hard work!

Also happens when I click in to read a Recommended Diary but does not happen with RedHot.

I get something similar

Christine (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 2:57PM EST (link)

at work where I am using IE6 (ugh). The Recommended Diaries, RedHot and Member Diaries are all the way at the bottom of the page, not at the top where they are on all other browsers.

Not a problem, and if they’d just upgrade our IE it would probably fix it. Just an annoyance.

The primary process is FLAWED. Two states should not decide our candidate.

Tried to reply to "Screenshot?" but

Lammo (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 2:41PM EST (link)

kept just getting bounced to the top of the comment. Are you asking me to send you a screenshot of what I’m experiencing or giving me an idea about what to do? If the former, I’ll give it a try (what e-mail address should I use?). If the latter, sorry, but I don’t understand. Thanks!

If the site looks funny, I need a shot of how it looks, basically, to help debug it.

That's what I thought.

If it happens again tomorrow I’ll try to send screen shots. No problems here at home using Firefox.

Thanks!

Recommendations are broken, too.

Loren Heal (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 5:01PM EST (link)

I know this because I have written several, may I say, excellent diaries in the last few days, and yet the recommendations aren’t there for them.

Please fix ASAP.

Need more info

This diary has two recs itself, so it’s working for some people. Can you tell me what you’re doing that doesn’t work?

It's the content, Neil.

I was being hilariously funny.

There is nothing wrong with recommendations, as far as I know.

Whew

Well, keep at it :-)

Poor Neil was gut-hooked on that one.

It was funny once explained to me

Neil Stevens (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 12:13PM EST (link)

I am extra vigiliant for bugs right now though, with the move to the new servers and all. That’s all. :-)

IE6

Bill S (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 6:02PM EST (link)

I’ve seen several complaints about site behavior that made mention of using IE6, and I’ve seen it myself. Frankly, that browser possesses intergalactic amounts of suckness. Anyone having trouble with IE6 should get another browser to use on RS. As someone who’s had to code workarounds for IE6 weirdness, I’ll tell you that MS should be prosecuted for programming malpractice for putting that piece of krap on computers around the world.

Neil, New site glitches for me.

penguin2 (Diary) Thursday, August 20th at 6:54PM EST (link)

Approx. 30 min. ago the font changed, print became smaller and lighter.
Margins are off. We are using Firefox. Have screenshot prepared to send to you at Neil@Redstate.com.

Tell me if we need to do or send anything else.

Thanks, penguin2

Well sort of. That and zoom adjustment.

penguin2 (Diary) Friday, August 21st at 11:39AM EST (link)

Still no explanation of why part of page looked one way, and the rest different. But I can see everything clearly again…Hopefully no more tech challenges for me.

Thank you Neil.

I’m using FireFox (on a Mac) and have had no problems with the site. I haven’t tried a diary yet, ideas I have had for one have been getting posted by others before I get home to start it, usually expressed better than I could anyway, kudos to those folks! I do have FireFox set to clear cache and cookies every time I close it. Only thing I’ve noticed is faster loading and no 500 errors.
