Glitches in the system! :)

Here's a good place to make note to Dave about anything odd or out of sorts that you see with the new DG2.0!


I'll start...

This search started to go into bold halfway down the page for no apparent reason...

[HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

The Co-Op forum has "See only open/unsolved threads" at the top.

Don't you mean this to say "See only open co-op's" ?? ??

Is an open Co-Op "unsolved" ?

:)

ecobioangie, I fixed the search.

dave

AngelSong: Open/Unsolved. The slash means that it's one of the other. The same code drives the identification forum.

dave

Really nice changes, Dave !! ..
I've been tinkering the last couple of days .. playin' around and checking it out a bit .. Although it seems to move a bit 'slower' than previously ... Anyone else noticed this .. ?

The site is EXTREMELY overloaded right now. :) I think everyone is playing with the new features. It'll slow down once folks start slowing down their activities and get back to normal habits.

Or, I'll upgrade to bigger hardware again. :-)

dave

hee hee .. Dave .. do you really mean that it WILL get even slower ?
RE: It'll slow down once folks start slowing down their activities and get back to normal habits.
I know you didn't - but jes couldn't leave 'at one alone!! .. LOL ..
Sure enjoyin' it tho' ..

.. Appreciate your getting back with me/us .. so quickly! ..

Just found a small problem.
While trying to add a definition to the 'Garden Terms' when I tried to preview, I got a message saying 'Array'.
Typical clod-hopping Mike ignored this and the word 'Array' is now officially the definition of 'meter'...

cinemike, good report. I have fixed this. Do you have access to edit?

dave

cinemike, I went ahead and deleted the definition. Would you mind to add it in again?

dave

It looks great, Dave, and I really like the tabs at the top! I've been bouncing around, checking things out, and I can't find the member stores.

I found the member stores through the StandardOut, Inc. link at the bottom. Can you put a link to those other sites at the top of the Home tab maybe?

Also, for each tab, can you add a pull-down menu or hover descriptions for each link on the tab?

Can anyone add seed packet patterns, or is that just for people who know what they're doing? I didn't mean that the way it sounded! I'm just wondering if anyone can play!!

Anyone can add seed packets, but you have to email them to me.

dave

Ah, gotcha! Thanks-again, Dave!

Dave,

When adding to my trade tracker yesterday, the name of the person I was trading with would not show up after entry was submitted.

Beth

BethG_58, I have fixed this now. :)

Dave
I have tried yesterday...and this morning to download a picture and everytime, it loads completely and just sits there...never letting me preview it before I send. I sat there at least 8 minutes maybe 10 before just giving up. Never did this before. Can you check into this. Thanks in advance. Maybe other's aren't having the same problem. Hopefully someone can add feedback to go along with mine.

Yes, I need help from anyone else who has also experienced this problem. It's working fine for everyone else.

What kind of internet connection are you on? Does this happen in the forum, your journal, tradelist, or what? Is it happening during a reply, a new thread, etc?

dave

ALRIGHT! LOL...I was afraid I was going to have all these plants to trade, and no idea who they were for!

Excellent job on the redesign! The site was great before; now it's FANTASTIC!

Thanks for all the effort you put into it! :)

Beth

Thanks Dave,
Will add the definition...
Mike

Actually, problem is still there...

the page is: http://davesgarden.com/terms/adddef.php?tid=2334

I got 'Array' again... (sorry)...

Mike

Dave, clicking to enlarge this http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/449783/ takes me back to the home page.

Mike, I can't believe how persistent that problem is! :) Please do try again now.

(Darius: I deleted that thread; politics)

dave

Okay. I just wanted to see the photo, no politics involved for me!

You can read the whole thing, including pictures, here: http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/kalat.asp

dave

My next step (if I could have seen the photo) would have been to look it up on Snopes. I'm getting more like GW in that respect, LOL. Thanks for doing it.

Dave
I'm using Cable speed. It happen's in a forum, a thread and new thread. I just gave up waiting after over 5 minute's...it loads all the way but seems to get stuck there

Dave ... very much similar, if not the 'same' problem .. that BrugAddict mentions .. but, during the 'upload' of a photo to a continued 'Thread' ...

I was posting an addition of 3 separate pics to the existing 'thread'. The first 2 posts with text and pic, went off without a hitch at all - - but the 3rd and final pic .. went askew (or, Poof!)

For after clicking Preview, and awaiting to view it - the entire page went blank! With my having DSL, I waited a bit (perhaps all of a minute) .. but still nothing showed up ...

I've had one or two difficulties such as this, even before the current DG modifications - but found that going 'back' .. a page or two, would reveal/display the initial text I'd prepared, but found that I had to re-load any photo ...

However, during this one instance just now - - using/going 'back', served no benefit what so ever. Had to start over again, with the 3rd text entry AND the pic re-load! The second attempt, functioned and worked just fine !!

Sure hope the info provided helps you guys somewhat ...

Hi Dave,

I noticed something on GWD. When I navigated to it from the forums Tab, a certain top 20 company was no longer in the top 20, but when I searched by name, it showed them as top 20 on their page. Clicked on that link, and they were back again on the main page.

Tried it a couple of times, and it was the same thing.

Chris

Which company?

dave

Now it's back. Craziness. Belay my last.

It was our company.

I had some temporary work being done on the watchdog, and likely you came in during that brief period. All should be well now.

dave

Dave, the joined date is not showing up when I hold my cursor and highlight someone's name. Is that a glitch or a deleted feature?

Should be fixed now.

dave

yup! You are fast!!

Dave,
On coops, can you maybe find a different location for the "if this coop is closed click here"? It is awfully close to where you click for print and post reply. Maybe I'm the only one with a mouse that has a mind of it's own, but I've very nearly clicked the wrong spot!

Garden Terms...
Yabadabbadoo!! it works. Well done Dave...

Um... Mike was too optimistic... it doesn't show up when you call up the item...

This got lost somewhere else, so I'll try it here:
In Preferences, could "Home Tab" be called "Customize Homepage (or Window)" in order to be true to its meaning?
Also, wouldn't you like to see the same terminology used for the same item in all places to avoid confusion. I.e. either custom box or custom menu, not both.
