New forums problems/suggestions

[jayx8318x]

The forums aren't at 100%, there are little bugs here and there, and I'm counting on you guys to tell me what they are.

And be honest, if there's a forum you're NOT suppose to see, let me know about it :shifty: . I checked, double checked and triple checked permissions, but it's likely I missed something.

* Also let me know if you can't post or reply in a forum when you feel you should.

* And I'm working on getting the display Usergroups under your avatar, plus other little things we use to have.

* Note: The Jay Videos & Jay Music for Download group members are in limbo right now. I'm trying to figure out what to do with them.

* Remember to check the User CP and update your profile (birthday, timezone, your avatar may need to be re-uploaded, turn off/on invisible mode, etc.)

* Can't figure out how to edit, delete, use BB code? Whatever your problem, post here.

[jayx8318x]

OK I'm just gonna answer questions people pose in various forums/thru PM here so everyone hears it.

1. I've changed the avatar upload limit from 12bytes to 12 KB like before

2. Your user ranks will probably not be back, the importer didn't import them properly, and I'm not too thrilled about adding 100+ ranks back in manually.

3. The reputation button http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/styles/jcnet-default/buttons/reputation.gif allows you to add reputation to a user. I'm still sketchy about how it all works. But basically, you can add reputation if you feel the person deserves it (they posted something good, provided you a download, etc.)
Some may have heard of this in the form of karma...it's sorta similar. Except not just mods get to add to your rep, but regular members can too.

NOTE: Double posting is still against the rules. Except in justifiable cases such as this. I'm working on getting the anti-double posting functionality back.

[jayx8318x]

hello? :cry:
I'm worried no one can see / read / reply to this forum as the views on this post still say 2.

Just post and let me know you can see this. Preferably a non-Mod member.

NOTE: Triple posting is definitely a no-no. Don't follow my example.

[Shanhaigirl]

Karen, i can read and reply in this thread.
still getting myself familiar with the new forum.
i haven't noticed any threads i shouldn't be able to view
thanx for explaining reputation button, i was wondering what it is

[bee]

aww karen you are the best. can i give you 200 reputations? :) JKJK~ i heard of karma's on solid, but reputation stuff must be a lot easier to get. On SS (Shinhwa Sarang forums) they have a token system (its tough...i got 2 though ^^). this is pretty interesting.

[kahel]

Reputation thing, still confuses me. You just have to click on it and it will do? :?

Anyway, karen, can we request for a forum JumpBox, if it's not much of a hassle. :blush:

Thanks.

[jayx8318x]

Kahel > jumpbox is on the bottom of every page, can you see it?
You can also take away reputation. If you click on it for a person, a box pops up asking if you want to take away or add, and leave a reason (at least this is what I see as an admin, maybe you guys see something different?)

[sagara0510]

hmmm thanks for clearing up the 'reputation' question and fixing up the avatar size limit...

as for the user ranks... mmm... is it possible for us to customise our own ranks then?? like say... after we've reached a certain number of posts we can just rank ourselves watever we like?? :?

[jayx8318x]

sagara0510 > When you go to User CP and Edit Profile, is there an option for custom title? I know mods can, I don't remember if everyone else can. If not, I'll set it for group members to be able to use custom titles.

[sagara0510]

i just checked... there isn't an option for regular users to have a custom title.. i guess it needs to be enabled before every1 can access that option...

[bee]

wow so we can customize our own ranks later!? ooh.. :shifty: i wonder what i will use...
i can see the forum jump box, and yes~i can take away reputations and add them and everything ^^ so i guess its the same for everyone.

[sagara0510]

hmmm.... dun wanna seem like a pest but... just wondering is there anyway to remove the hyperlinks from our sigs etc??

[kahel]

oh, thanks for clearing that up Karen. This forum has a lot of added features, it takes some getting used too. Overall, it's great. :D

Just my two cents about the customizable ranks, if users get to customize their ranks instead of the diao ranks that you have setup, then wouldn't that somewhat defeat the custom ranks the mods give certain users? Customizable ranks means a lot of varieties. It could create a some kind of confusion.
I'm just so loyal with the ranks that we currently have. I really love the creativity behind it. :wink2:

[jayx8318x]

sagara > Not sure what you mean? The hyperlinks in your sigs are there because you put them there using the [URL] tag and adding the actually http:// address. Do you mean how it's underlined? You can't change that yourself. I'll have to dig thru the CSS file to see where it's located and change it..maybe when I have time.

[sagara0510]

mmm r u refering to the ranks we had on the old forum kahel?? or the 'gold, silver, bronze' member ones we have atm??

i agree that customizable ranks will lead to lots of varieties... but at least it will look abit more pleasant than what we have atm??

EDIT: karen yeah i just mean the underline under the hyperlinks... its no biggie... just a personal preference i have i suppose... i've never been a big fan of the underline... anyway i'm sure there are other more important things u need to take care of first so its no biggie :happy:

[kahel]

I was referring to the old forum, jason. Don't worry. The old ranks which will be imported here soon, I really love them. :wink2:

[catseyes]

Just want to ask about the buddy and ignore list, because i tried adding some names to the buddy list. The FAQ says go to "My vB Home", does it mean the User CP or the forum main page?

Oh yes, and when i hover the mouse pointer over a thread title, it displays the first post. It is possible to change it to view the last post instead?

[jayx8318x]

Just want to ask about the buddy and ignore list, because i tried adding some names to the buddy list. The FAQ says go to "My vB Home", does it mean the User CP or the forum main page?

The UserCP...just about every option you have is under User CP.
The option you're looking for is near the bottom of the page under "Miscellaneous" in the User CP.

[bee]

it doesnt say that for me :? it just adds you to the list 0_o...atleast when i tried to do it.

[catseyes]

The UserCP...just about every option you have is under User CP.
The option you're looking for is near the bottom of the page under "Miscellaneous" in the User CP.

Thanks Karen, i think i found what i want under the quick links, and that is the "open buddy list" :)

[vunsin]

The quick reply box doesn't really work for me. At least not like it used to. When I try to click on it, nothing happens. When I try to click on the B, I, or U, a box pops up and asks me to click on one of the buttons above (as in the "post reply" one).

Also, if we can all customize our ranks, won't the nOObs be able to award themselves the "administrator" title then? :?

[jayx8318x]

Thanks Karen, i think i found what i want under the quick links, and that is the "open buddy list" :)
oh ok, I didn't even know about that buddy list, I'm learning along with the rest of you guys :sweat:. There are so many options. I kinda miss the simplicity of phpBB.
Anyways, I'll add the "preview last post on mouse hover" to my to-do list, I liked it better that way too.

[bee]

vunsin: oh it took me a while to figure that out too. you just have to click that button with the paper and the arrow. right next to the quote button of someone who already posted.

[jayx8318x]

vunsin, like ray-chan said, you need to click on the http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/styles/jcnet-default/buttons/quickreply.gif button on the bottom of someone's post so the system knows who you're replying to and can quote them if you enable the check box.

Also, if we can all customize our ranks, won't the nOObs be able to award themselves the "administrator" title then? :?

We can disallow certain ranks.

[vunsin]

I know... Karen, but I was just saying that it was one step more than before. :laughing: I'm just lazy. :rolleyes: Gosh... there's so much for me to figure out. I think I'll leave that for later as I'm getting a really bad headache from my cold. I should go to bed and leave nOOb-busting for tomorrow. :oops:

[jayx8318x]

hmm I see...I could set it to where the QR box is activated all the time. But I actually like it this way, cuz sometimes I do want to quote a certain person who responded, and not always just last person like what we had on phpBB.

[vunsin]

I thought we could quote anybody on phpBB? :? I know I've definitely done that before. :hmm:

[jayx8318x]

I mean yeah you can. But with the Quick Reply box in phpBB, you can only automatically quote the last person (I'm talking about the little checkbox that gives you that option).

[feixuan]

Oh i am confused in this new home, i have to take a look around and read more,at least i wanna thanks everyone who work hard on this new home =]
Vunsin, get well soon =]

[vunsin]

Thanks, feixuan. :happy:

OMG.... You sig... :sweat:

Okay... I'm outta here.

Karen: Gotcha this time.

[jayx8318x]

feixuan :glug: > is the font big enough for ya :D ?
I also realized the font sizes here are different that phpBB. It's like size 1 vBulletin is equal to size 9 phpBB.

[feixuan]

OMG i jump out my chair, its so big sig, i edit it now..LOL
what a diff changing my profile o.o;;

[sagara0510]

hmmm.. just wondering... wen i roll my mouse over a thread it shows the FIRST post that was posted in that topic... is there anyway to make it like the old forum so we can read the most RECENT reply to that topic?

[lattae]

feixuan :glug: > is the font big enough for ya :D ?
I also realized the font sizes here are different that phpBB. It's like size 1 vBulletin is equal to size 9 phpBB.
karen, is there any chance that we can customise the font to something smaller... like in the past when we say something "naughty" :rolleyes:

[retrobaby]

our new home is really pretty! but some time is needed to get used to everything :happy: (at least we still have the same smilies)

just wanna ask if we can change the time according to our own time zones like we could before so it's easier to know what time someone replied or posted a message?

[catseyes]

retrobaby, you can go to the User CP, then "Edit options" and the "Date and time options" is there for you to change the time.

[jayx8318x]

sagara > catseyes already asked that a few posts before. I'm working on it...
lattae > the smallest you can go is -2

[Squall]

is there a option to display the gender like what we did in our previous forum...?
i can't seem to find it :?
i think the gender thing will be good because i don't want people to mistake me as a female :whistle:

[ekyec]

wah..thx jayx8318x/karen for changing the site thingo..n whatever you had to go through to get it back up n well again..!
[i figured i needa thank you heaps..n this is the first remodeling thread i came to..so i decided to thank you here..]
umm...n jus wondering..what does subscribing a thread do..?
anyway..thanks for getting the site back up again..!!!

[Squall]

subscribing a thread means you will moniter the thread..like watching for new replies
and once you enter your usercp,u can see the thread you subsribe..
a lot of forum have this option of subsribing a thread

[ekyec]

thx SQuall LH..i see now..seems so obvious..i guess im jus slow...guess its gonna take me awhile to get fully used to the new layout n stuff..
i jus realised there wasnt any gender thingo too..now you mentioned it..
n i figured out how to add reputation to someone else....but like should'nt the reputation come up?!..[like karma box thingies..or is the lil green box[next to the no. of posts] the reputation box...?]
o n also..this is probably jus my computer :? ..but can anyon help!?..coz like nearly everytime i refresh..or ctrl+n..i end up with a page full of those code thingies..anyone know how to fix it or something?!..
sorry for botherin you guys with the questions...

[ker_ai_teresa]

this is just something very minor that i noticed when posting a reply...

there are 2 "twisted" :twisted: emoticons in the clickable box.
so one of them can be replaced with another smilie...how's about Mr Drool...since he's popular?
:)

[Pugwash]

Is there a way to make the, "Sticky" notice more obvious and clear? The titles of just regular threads are bolded and much more "black" if they are unread.

That's the only thing I've noticed so far.. I love the new look. Probably because I've used vB at all other forums I've been to.

[lene]

I need a bit of help with something... before, even if our avies exceeded 12 KB we could still upload them, right? Can't we do the same here? I tried to change my avie by entering the url (from photobucket) on the blank space for uploading avies but it says that it's more than 12 KB so I'm guessing that the avies uploaded here are saved in our own server? Can't we upload bigger-sized avies that are saved in other servers? pls enlighten me. thanks! :happy:

karen our new home is lovely! :) thanks so much for all your hard work and for looking after everyone. you're very much appreciated! :flowers:

[cinsin]

I have this problem where even though the page is refreshed on the index, when I enter one of the forums, the page hasn't been refreshed, like it'll still look like what it was like when I last viewed it. Is this just me or does this happen to everyone else?

[scarletwillow]

Never subscribe to a thread... the forum will email you with every reply... believe it, it ends up in a lot of extra mail if you didn't realize you subscribed X_X

Nupengyou... just try signing out, deleting all your cookies and temp net files, and restarting your browser.

[Squall]

scarletwillow--->you can use the no email notification under subscribing to threads..then it will not email anything!!
and subscibing to a thread is really a good tool..believe me :angel:

[macdawn]

Hey guys!

I am glad the forum is back in the new home...... I am not sure if it is my setting, but I noticed that the layout of the forum is kinda narrow, with quite a bit of spcaing on both sides of the board. Thought we should try to utilise the page as much as possible, so that our posts wouldn't look so long and narrow... saves the scrolling also :wink2:

BTW, the gender indication would be good.... too many people think Mac means I am male!!!! :whistle:

Oh, did I tell you, I love the new layout??? I am still trying to navigate around, but I amd sure I'll make it :laughing:

-MacDawn

[Squall]

and posting quick reply is so troublesome..
still need to click the posts above..
maybe can skip the step!!
and maybe could indicate the group of the members so that we don't need to go to the profile in order to see the groups..
and i miss the old forum where we can see the news once we enter the site..
i think that is a really good feature..
and why is there a 60s before we can search again?? :?
i use a lot of the search new posts option!! and the 60s rule is really :thumbsdo:

am i complaning too much :angel: :sealed:
actually this forum rocks

[lattae]

I believe the news section will come back on once the full site is up... notice we get directed to the forums immediately without a "home" page?

I guess at the end of the day, we will have a "home" page... I think that's still being fine tuned. So look out for it :wink2:

[Ziwei]

i dont know if u guys ever get a blank screen when u scroll down the page. sometimes i get this, for eg, after a post, i shld see another post, but at times, i see a long blank screen before it comes to the next post.

[khim]

this new forum is nice...
just not use to it...
we will use to it soon ,right...???

many new features it cool :twisted:

i miss karen's rank .... we only can found it on this forum..
exspecially Mrs Jay Chou (I WISH !!)...i still remember my lastest rank is "i have a tattoo JAY on my head"

i still hope that karen add it back...

[wackycashew]

Can't we upload bigger-sized avies that are saved in other servers? pls enlighten me. thanks! :happy:
lene: right now it's set at 12kb for both of those options because they're both uploading to the server, i believe. perhaps the third option "Link to off-site avatar" that we used to have can be added sometime. :happy:

[jayx8318x]

is there a option to display the gender like what we did in our previous forum...?

Working on it



there are 2 "twisted" emoticons in the clickable box.

fixed



Is there a way to make the, "Sticky" notice more obvious and clear?

There's a pic of a pushpin to the right of them, I'll see what I can do...



and posting quick reply is so troublesome..

The added step has been removed



and why is there a 60s before we can search again??

Because searching is VERY server intensive especially with a large board.
I wanted to increase that even more...but 60 will do for now.

[Evenstar]

Wow!!! This forum is sooo cool :excited: !! I've seen forums with this type of system though (take Naruto talk forum fo instance...It does have this reputation thingy and their quick replies are slightly better than the other forums who provide it but without the commands :dry: ....) Oh well...I liked it all the same :happy:

Keep up the Good work, Karen-kun!!!! :wink2:

[shouling]

ummm Karen... i cant see any of my moding tools.
i can see all the forums and stuff, but i dont have the options to lock, move, delete ect.
is it here, but i cant see it?

EDIT: oops sorry Karen i just found out how to do it. i guess i should have checked the Mod forum first huh? LOL~! *smacks forehed*

[jayx8318x]

Gender and Usergroup memberships are added back under your avatar.

You need to specify your gender, go to:

UserCP > Edit Profile
It's near the bottom under Additional Information section

[Pugwash]

I have this problem where even though the page is refreshed on the index, when I enter one of the forums, the page hasn't been refreshed, like it'll still look like what it was like when I last viewed it. Is this just me or does this happen to everyone else?

Try going to Tools > Internet Options..

Under the Temporary Internet Files square, click, Settings.

For check for newer versions of saved pages, select, "Every Visit To the Page."

That way, when you click something, it'll always load up the page from the net instead of from the cache saved on your hard drive... While you're in the check for newer etc.. you might want to reduce your cache to a size like 50-100mb since you're refreshin everytime you're clicking now.

Added an image to help ya:

[vunsin]

Okay... I just found a new problem. :sweat: I think all links to briefcases will have to be reposted. Apparently when the threads were transferred over, parts of those links were converted into some weird symbols so the links no longer work. :oops: When you click on those links, you'll still go to that briefcase, but it'll say the folder is empty because you don't have access to other parts of that briefcase. So... we'll have to recopy-and-paste all those briefcase links for downloads. :oops:

[jayx8318x]

wow that really sucks.
I'll edit some posts then. Just a tip to the mods if you're not doing this already, just copy and paste the entire contents of a post into notepad or something, then do a Find & replace to replace all & with &, then copy and paste it back to post. You don't have to actually email the Briefcase links to yourself or anything.

[scarletwillow]

Just a suggestion for aesthetics:
The "new post" icon is too similar to the "no new posts" icon.

What I mean is, in a forum, when a thread has new posts you havent' read, there's a little icon displayed beside it.I know, you can tell the difference many ways, including bolded topic text, but here are some suggestions...

New posts: Keep same as now.
No new posts: dim it... make it look as "faded" as the "post reply" button in threads.
Hot thread with new posts: Keep same.
Hot thread with no new posts: Right now, it's the exact same icon as the "hot/new posts" one. I'm guessing that that was a mistake during setup. Also, dim that one so it's easier to differentiate.

[macdawn]

Hmm.... I noticed whern I try to quote Karen's previous mails, which already contained quotes, the quotes she quoted did not appear in my reply window. What I got was a truncated quote, which contained the last few sentences of the post.

Which brings me to what I wanted to post here initially..... the option for gender
This is your gender, you're either male or female 99% of the time.
Hmm..... now that is a difficult choice..hmm.... 99% of the time? what if I am a female 98% of the time? :whistle:

-MacDawn

[Viv]

This new format is definitley very different but I'll get used to it sooner or later.

The thing about Reputation points. How do you know how many other people have received? Or are they suposed to remain secret?

[smilepiggy]

i agree too. the new format is different, but i think it'll only take us a lil time to get use around this and we're fine alr!
-dont know anything about reputation points- looks ard. i'm confused!

[lattae]

Viv, smilepiggy, perhaps you would like to go to the "low down on reputation points" thread that karen put up to find out more about it:
http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4356

I guess it's neater and easier if you ask your questions there as well under the same topic.

[wackycashew]

i just found out something from vunsin that i think members should take note of. right now in your User CP, the default forum setting for viewing threads is only allowing ACTIVE threads from the last 3-4 weeks to be displayed. so, you are probably not viewing ALL the threads in the forums if you haven't changed your settings. to prevent repeated threads from being started, please change your settings! :happy:

to do so, go to:
User CP > Edit Options > scroll down to the Thread Display Options section > Default Thread Age Cut Off (last item of section) > select Show All Threads from the drop-down menu

and then you should see ALL the threads around the forums. :D

[scarletwillow]

Did you change the forum default to "show all threads" yet? :D

[lattae]

Erm, is it possible to "prolong" the time frame for the "time-out"?

Okay, this is my problem in short: when I come into the forum, there are some threads that I frequent first (eg my groups private forum thread), and I have a tendancy to type somewhat long replies, and by the time I hit reply, I would have already "timed-out" on the server, which means that when I hit the "new posts" to generate posts that I haven't read since my "last" login, I only get a small handful of threads. (because the server count it as that 've already "logged out", during my "inactivity" while typing my post.) It happened to me when I was translating which I did while I was on the forum too...

It becomes hard for me to keep track of the new posts around the forums since my real logout (usually the day before)...

is there something that I can do?


and there is another problem I am facing.
I can't seem to upload my avatar, which is well within the limits of this forum (9kb, 150x149)... and it seems that I am not the only one as dazzlette also faced a similar problem and we conversed through PM... (I am currently linking from off-site source)

[wackycashew]

willy, is that question directed at me? :? i'm asking all the members to change the settings themselves. i'm not sure how to change the default setting for the entire forum. (i don't know if that option is available for me to change and i haven't come across something that will allow me to do so as of now.) and i'm not gonna do it manually per member. =0

lattae, i'm not sure i quite understand the "time-out" thing cuz i haven't encountered it. if you've logged on and your username & password are 'remembered', you will stay logged in until you completely log out (which i never do). if you don't get logged out, then you should still view all the new posts (at least for a number of hours). but if you logged out, then you won't see all the new posts from your last 'real' logout. i'm not sure why you're getting logged out. it happens to me at times when i get on a site for the first time and it won't remember my login and pw properly for whatever reason. but after i've cleared my cookies and relogin, it's usually ok from the next day on. sorry i can't be much of help. i'm no expert with these technical issues. >.<

in terms of the avatar though, the upload function should be working because i've uploaded an avatar for someone before. i usually prefer the link to off-site avatar option myself because i don't wanna be restricted by file size. anyway, i'll gonna save the pic in your current avatar and try to upload it for you to see if that works, 'k? :happy:

[jayx8318x]

Did you change the forum default to "show all threads" yet? :D


ALL the forums by default show all threads (to prove it, log out and view a forum). And it has been showing all threads for me. I dunno if it really is everyone who is experiencing this or just a handful. I dunno. You don't have to change your profile though just to do that, although that would make it permanent. At the bottom of every forum there is a drop down allowing you to specify the "age" of threads you want to display.

[Pugwash]

Lattae:

You might want to try going into Tools > Internet Options and deleting your cookies and try to relog in and see if that happens again.

Also, are you running some sort of software firewall? Some tend to do that for the sake of protecting your computer. If you are, check around in the settings about cookies.

I'll try this out myself and see if it happens to me too.

[kahel]

I just clicked on the official site link at the home page and I think the link is linked back to the pic itself.

[cacky]

Erm, is it possible to "prolong" the time frame for the "time-out"?

I agree ... I have this problem too. I think the time-out is pretty short. When there's inactivity on my end for a while, it just logs me off, and I gotta re-sign in.

As a result, I have lost track of those unread messages since my last sign in.

[jayx8318x]

Erm, is it possible to "prolong" the time frame for the "time-out"?



it is now fixed Let me know if you still have this problem

[cync.jay]

hey...i really like this new interface...the colour is more cheerful...about the problems...i am not really hi-tech so..i have no comment...keep it up..KAMBADE

[lattae]

it is now fixed Let me know if you still have this problem

Thanks :flowers: no problem so far over the last 2 days :wink2:



just some suggestions:
is it possible introduce a scrollbar for the "Topic Review" section when we are in the "Reply to topic" page. it was there is the past, and it helped since you can keep the reply box in view instead of having to scroll up and down the entire page to review the topics...

[Squall]

the title rank thing is back :thumbsup:
it is better than seeing gold member and silver member..
but karen will the colour rank thing be back?
i kinda like it :?

[vunsin]

:laughing: Yeah... the color bars are kinda cool. And I miss mine because it was special. It was white and rare! :rolleyes:

[Squall]

my bar is nothing special but it is still nice :angel:
erm..is the rank thing different from last time because i think that last time after 20posts ,the rank title will change..
now it does not :?

[jessca]

erm..is the rank thing different from last time because i think that last time after 20posts ,the rank title will change..
now it does not
Yeah, i've also noticed a number of new ranks around too.

So im supposing Karens re-entered the ranks, and has spaced them out a bit more, seeing as people are posting a lot more now.

Thanks Karen, i realise it must have taken you a long time to get them all sorted. Its an awful lot nicer with these ranks... :hugz:

[wackycashew]

erm..is the rank thing different from last time because i think that last time after 20posts ,the rank title will change..

karen has created new ranks. :happy: and as jessca guessed, they're more spaced out now. and plus, there's not necessarily any set number of posts for the ranks to change. so, don't go spamming the forums just to see what your next rank title is... :rolleyes:

[vunsin]

my bar is nothing special but it is still nice :angel:
erm..is the rank thing different from last time because i think that last time after 20posts ,the rank title will change..

Even back then, it didn't always take just 20 posts for the rank to change. I think the higher your post count was, the more spaced out the ranks were. I remember after I got more than 3000 posts (I think), it took around 80 posts for the rank to change.

[Squall]

and one more thing..
anyone notice that when you click home
it will bring you to the homepage and there is one section that display the lastest thread..
but under the latest is the name of the creator of the thread..not the name of the poster of the last poster :?
understand what i am trying to say?

[jayx8318x]

Yes I know. Don't worry about it, little things will be fixed gradually, please don't expect me to get things to work correctly the first time around. And let's not be too nit-picky :wink2:

[vunsin]

"Home" is the main page of the site, not the main page of the forums, right? I haven't noticed the thread creator vs. latest poster thing. The only time I'd go to that main page is when I first typed in the URL. After that I'd click on "Forums" and won't go back to the main page again. It's easier just to click on "new posts" from inside the forum than to go out to check for new threads. I kinda miss this aspect of our old forum though.

[GaryDAI]

I don't think there are any links back to the portal (main) site. Once your in the forums you can't leave :laughing:

[Squall]

erm..where is the new posts button??
i can't seem to find it...
it used to be on top of the forum..
now it is gone :?
karen-->i will be less nit picky...okay? :angel:

vunsin-->i am talking about this home
http://jay-chou.net/forums/portal.php

[vunsin]

Click on "Quick Links" and there'll be a drop down menu.

Oh... that home... I was thinking about just www.jay-chou.net :laughing:

[Squall]

Click on "Quick Links" and there'll be a drop down menu.

thanks a lot vunsin..the new posts thing is really useful

[vunsin]

Actually, now the direct link to new posts is back. :hmm: It was there before but gone last night (I think), but now it's there again. :hmm:

[Squall]

Actually, now the direct link to new posts is back. :hmm: It was there before but gone last night (I think), but now it's there again. :hmm:
that really good..maybe karen put the link on top and this is more obvious then before. :excited:
good job :thumbsup:

[vunsin]

Well... it'd always been there at the top until last night. Anyhow, good to see it back there. :)

[jayx8318x]

I didn't find it necessary since it's displayed in the welcome block on the forum index. But when you move away to view forums/posts, you can't access it again, so that's why its back.

New posts on the portal have also been fixed to reflect LATEST replies.

[Vicluva]

i dont know why, but a friend's told me that his banner's s'posed 2 move but on my computer it just stands still! apparently a lot LQP's banners move as well, but i cant see them! help! :cry:

[jayx8318x]

The banner on the home (portal) page is in Flash, so you need the Macromedia Flash player plug-in to see it. However, the banner on the forums does not move. I figured it would get pretty annoying after a while browsing the forums.

You might also try going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced
and under the Multimedia section, make sure Play animation is checked (although that doesn't affect the Flash problem, it should make the GIF animated banners work.)

[Quiet Boy]

I dont know if its just me or not, but...

The guy who posted this thread has ZERO posts. Is this a bug or something?

[Quiet Boy]

Erm yeah... its quite obvious that he cant have zero posts if he's already posted something.

But I just thought of something, that maybe this is some smart feature where posts in the requests forum dont count towards your post count?

And Ive got another question. Is there a way to make polls either anonymous or show the voters for each option, or are the settings predetermined for each forum?

[Quiet Boy]

I dont know if this fully answers your question, but heres something karen posted briefly about it from the "To-Do" thread in this forum. (http://jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4332)

4. Show usergroups under avatar - DONE
Difference between Usergroups and Member Groups?
Usergroups is your primary (or most important) membership. If you belong to additional groups, it's under Member Groups.

[wackycashew]

Melvin: the 'site groups' should be the Usergroup. due to some control panel issues, the mods haven't been able to make those adjustments. but the admins will take care of it. =)

[jayx8318x]

But I just thought of something, that maybe this is some smart feature where posts in the requests forum dont count towards your post count?

That's exactly what it is, any posts you make in the Give Me forum does not count towards post count.


And Ive got another question. Is there a way to make polls either anonymous or show the voters for each option, or are the settings predetermined for each forum?
Whether a poll is "public" is determined by the person who posted the poll. When you make a poll, you are given these option, note the circled:
http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/jayhottypants/votes.gif

If you're wondering why some of the old polls show voters, that's a bug due to the importer from phpBB, and I will try to fix later.

[Jingle]

I hope I'm posting this in the correct thread. Just a note that the link to "Music/Concert News" link in the "When is Jay coming to US/Canada/Australia/Singapore/Malaysia/Thailand/etc.?" thread is not working. Not a big problem....just wanted to make a note of that here.

[wackycashew]

thanks, Jingle. i'll go fix it now. :happy: the link is still the old forum one. that's why.

[jayx8318x]

sorry whoever asked about words being underlined, which spawned into a discussion about spyware, etc. I tried splitting the thread but wasn't careful and deleted them instead.
If you want to ask again, start a new thread.

[Jingle]

I just wanted to point out that sometimes when I try to logout, it won't let me and there is an error message that says that my logout was unsucessful. Then, I stay logged in eventhough I have left the site.

Maybe it's just a few bugs here and there since you guys are still working on the new forum stuff. Just wanted to make a note of that.

[vunsin]

I don't have the answers for you, but a question. :sweat: Do you keep the "remember me" option checked when you log in? :?

[Melvin]

Hmm okay just another question

Screenshot (http://www.webpost.net/me/melvinlow2/errors.jpg)

hmm I'm wondering why those images circled don't load.. They're supposed to be the usergroup thread banners..

[vunsin]

Well... they don't show up either in the "Re:" part of your post.

[jayx8318x]

Because having those banners in the topic titles isn't normal. I had to manually add them in directly by editing the database entry for the particular threads, so the forum software doesn't know how to handle displaying them.

[charmed_1009]

I'm not sure if this suggestion has been brought forward before...if it has been please do not :whip: me...just kidding..I know you're all nice people :angel: ..

Why don't you have a list of all the awards Jay had won before??
Because...Well..I'll tell you the true reason why i want you all to have this list... :shy:
it has something to do with ego...you know...want people to know that Jay won so many awards...trust me..when you post up all the awards..you won't believe your eyes how many awards he has...

That would also be the problem..he has SO MANY awards..i'm not sure if you all keep track of all that...all the way from 1997...So..i'm just suggesting...It's ok if you don't want to do this.... :happy:

but if there already is something like this in the forum...oops :oops:
sorry....

[vunsin]

I don't think we already have a list (I could be wrong too), but it'd take a while for somebody to compile it. :sweat: Perhaps somebody could start a thread and begin to compile as much as possible? I think everyone can contribute and then in the end we can reorganize the list and put it up separately like we did with the lyrics. :)

[catseyes]

I have a magazine which has a list of his "older" awards. Let me try look for it first and then i will post it up!~ :D You guys have to throw in the more recent awards he has got though. :)

[charmed_1009]

I'll try too......since i suggested this idea...
i wouldn't let you all do all the work...i hope not...

I'll do my best to find the awards....

[Squall]

i getting quite a lot of this messege today :shy:

[msv]

I don't think its just you, I think today the site has been working weird for some reason, like I couldn't post and each time I did, it told me that it was an invalid link or thread, contact webmaster or something like that.

I also asked other members to see if they were facing glitches for the website too.

[jakinni]

Why don't you have a list of all the awards Jay had won before??

I think that's a pretty good idea too, though it seems kind of daunting. I'll start looking around and maybe start a thread.

Question, should we include the nominations too or just awards won? Maybe the nominations would be a bit much.

[charmed_1009]

Jakinni...I think it's better if just the awards he won...

This way..it'll be easier for us...
and also less...em..well...not telling people how many awards Jay didn't get....
I'm looking around and see if i can compile year 2002's awards...he won A LOT that year...

[cute_jay]

how many post would i need to post b4 i can view jay download section? ( which consists of the video).......

[msv]

you need to be a regular member and at the rate you're going, you're not going to be veiwing the downlaod section any time soon because you just proclaimed yourself a leecher :wink2: and look at your rep points.

[jayx8318x]

WE DON'T HAVE DOWNLOADS.
You must have mistaken us for some other Jay forum.

You're very close to getting banned again, I suggest you either
1). Leave
2). Never say anything again until you learn to follow rules, and read directions.
Your question has already been answered, if you read the announcements.

Whatever, I'm tired of this.

[charmed_1009]

cute_jay...are you telling me you joined this forum just to download stuff?
Well...if that is the reason...then maybe you should go to other forums that wouldn't mind you joining for the sake of downloading...

in this forum however...you have to follow the rules...if you do that...then you might be close to getting a chance to download stuff :happy: which you aren't even remotely close to now...
don't make the site administrators and other users annoyed....

[Squall]

i think there is a problem with uploading a new avatar..
i tried to upload a new avatar and it will not show up :oops:
this is the error

[vunsin]

Darn... I tried to add SQuall's avatar for him with the moderator control panel but I failed... After I clicked "save" I got this message: "Saved avatar successfully" but at the top of the page, there was the same error message SQuall got.

[lepencil]

That should only be a temporary problem. My guess is that the directory on the server for which avatars are being uploaded to has not had the necessary permissions set.

Just wait for Karen to wave the 5 magical letters -- CHMOD. :wink2:

[jayx8318x]

Thanks for reminding me, it's done.

[Quiet Boy]

I dont know when this started happening, but I think it's started recently...

When you view a forum, i can see that some threads have more than one page, so it links to different pages. Sometimes however, the last page that it says on the forum page isnt the last page that the thread has. For example, on the forum page, it links to only 2 pages, but the thread itself has 4 pages. So I can't get to the last page directly unless the thread has 3 or more pages which in that case it has a link to "last page"

http://www.geocities.com/stevenwong86/prob1.wax

I know this is a minor unimportant problem, but I thought I'd bring it to attention.

i think there is something wrong with the profile because i want to change my location and after i click save changes

I have the same problem as Squally. I tried many times and it gave me the same message. :cry:

[vunsin]

Steven: I know what you're talking about. For me though, most of the time, I just have trouble viewing the latest post in the thread if it's on a new page. I couldn't get to the last page. But if I post something, then I'd be able to see that post and page.

SQuall and Vicluva: I think that sometimes happen during the site outages, but I'm not 100% sure. I've had that problem too.

[jayx8318x]

everything's fixed..........................

[jakinni]

Is it possible to make it so that we can manually enter the page number we want to view in a thread? This would be really useful for long threads when you want to see some posts in the middle. Otherwise it would be very tedious to try to get to a page in the middle it when only the link to the first and last few pages are visible at one time.

[jayx8318x]

Just run your mouse over a page number and you'll see something like:

http://jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4318&page=12&pp=10
Just change the page number to whatever page you want to view.
the pp=10 means posts per page, how many posts appear at a time while viewing the thread. That part can't be changed I believe

[jakinni]

Ah, that makes it easier! Thanks a lot. :happy:

[Quiet Boy]

Karen, when you said everythings fixed, did you mean just squall and vic's problem, or did you mean my one as well? :unsure:

Because its still happening to me now... for example, in the Game #3 - Post-a-Thon (Congrats to...EVERYONE!) ( 1 2 3 ) thread, it lists 3 pages when there are actually 6. And sometimes I end up replying to posts that are days old... but itf its too much trouble, then dont worry about it, its just a minor detail.

[jayx8318x]

I meant everyone's, cuz when I look at that thread, I see:
http://img19.photobucket.com/albums/v58/jayhottypants/linkbutton.gif
Which is what it's suppose to look like. Maybe you're looking at a cached version?

[Quiet Boy]

Well for me, its still like this, even after refreshing numerous times:

http://www.geocities.com/stevenwong86/prob3.wax

It's probably a bug or something, so it doesnt matter, I'll just get used to it and check the thread page before I post :)

[kahel]

Steven, have you tried clearing your cache? :?

tools->internet options->delete files ?

[Quiet Boy]

Yep, I clear my history, cache and cookies frequently anyway, to destroy evidence of other sites I might have visited :shifty:

I just logged out and in again, still the same problem.

[jayx8318x]

OK I found what the problem was, it only happens for people who specified how many posts per page they want to view from the UserCP, which was allowed before, but everyone has to use the default now. I've changed it for everyone, so it should be fixed.

[Quiet Boy]

yay! Thanks for solving the problem for us karen :)

[msv]

At first I thought it was a cliche in the website but so far it hasn't changed. It looks as though the posts have been deleted or have been cut down to half?

http://img43.exs.cx/img43/4124/examples.png

[jayx8318x]

OK post counts have been resynched to the real number of posts you have

[vunsin]

Wow... so some people ended up with 0 post, huh? :? But how is that possible? :? Because those are their posts right there. Shouldn't they have at least one post? :?

[OLive_aNN]

well.. the same thing happened to my post number. It decreases to 600s. During the post a thon game, I had +/- 1020 posts. This is weird.

[jayx8318x]

How is it weird? I already stated above:
OK post counts have been resynched to the real number of posts you have

And what does it even matter? Why are people complaining their post count is down. Haven't you guys learned at jcnet it's quality over quantity?

I'm really really really getting tired of people asking me about this, your post count isn't everything people. We might as well take it out of view.

[Jess]

I agree with you Karen. Posts are always an issue when it comes to forums, because for some reason, people think that the more posts they have, the more credibility and/or respect they gain. But it's what's IN the posts that matters, not the number. Especially here, where that's really stressed.

I actually used to care about my post count until I realized that it isn't an issue at all. I'd rather see a member with a resynched number of 150 meaningful posts than 800 posts just there for the sake of being there, barely scraping the criteria before deletion.

[ene]

Oooh, I was surprised to see my nick in the above thread posted by msv :glug:

Would you rather have a post-count of 5000 with one-liners (ooh, Jay is so cute. Thank you for the pic!) or a post-count of 50 with properly thought-out replies ?

You decide. But yeah, post count or not, I'm still gonna be here. It's not important, people. Move on already !

[Squall]

i just realised something..
is all the group website all gone??
i mean those website which each group have to display banner and information..
but i tried clicking
http://surfers.jay-chou.net/

Please in the future, enter this site through:

Jay-Chou.net

[jayx8318x]

All group sites are in limbo status and will be reloaded after the games.

[Squall]

one more thing..
i think there is something wrong with the members list
http://img17.exs.cx/img17/6874/aaa5.jpg

i sorted the members in term of reputation and the list is not correct :wink2:

[wackycashew]

errr... squally, of all the things that are going on at this site, that is probably one of the most minor things. :oops: why/when would one ever need to sort members by rep points? :wacko:

lemme emphasize again... do not obsess over reputation points. :sweat: there's no competition and there are no prizes. who cares if you have 50 points or 150 points? it doesn't make one member better than another. the Members List can be used to look up a specific member. but the sorting options aren't really important. i don't think anyone would care much about the Join Date. and even Post Count... we'd rather someone to have 20 meaningful posts than 120 meaningless posts. so, what would you gain by sorting the members based on posts? nothing! the same goes for Reputation Points.

let's post about more "serious" problems that we need to deal with. :wink2: as far as i'm concerned, there is nothing "wrong" with the members list regarding rep points.

[Squall]

ok..got it :D :happy:

anyone notice this...

if other people are searching for jay chou in google

the first link is jay-chou.net

maybe people would thought that the forum is down when they tried to enter through the first link...

anyone got the same problem?

[jayx8318x]

SQuall I think maybe you need to clear your cache or something...cuz when I enter through www.jay-chou.net it works fine

[lattae]

I face the same problem, which is why I log on directly to the forums via http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/portal.php

I just didnt think much of it since I could still get on. I've cleared my cookies/temp files... but I still get the same thing. :sweat:

[jayx8318x]

I guess your ISPs hasn't cached the new page yet, then that's really not my problem and I can't do anything. Besides, we'll get less leechers if they can't get to the site...so no qualms from me. :happy:

[jayx8318x]

There's a daily scheduled outage from 4:30 to about 5:30 (GMT time)
Any other outages are just caused by huge amount of people gathering here because of Jay's new album release.

Sorry for the inconvienance caused, we'll just all have to bear it.

Let's turn off registration (hehe I believe we did), ban guest viewing and ban regular users from browsing the threads. :rolleyes:

With at most 200 usergroup members then, we might have a better experience enjoying the unveiling of Jay's new album, MVs, etc. :bleh:

[jayx8318x]

yeah yeah I thought about it ....but I feel bad (yes I do have a heart despite what some people think :rolleyes: ). I know there are legitimate and nice people out there truly interested in reading the current news and lyrics released by Jay, and depend on the translations. It'd suck for them if we turned everything off. If I were in their shoes I'd be pretty sad. So we gotta compromise. We turn off registration, which is good enough for now.

There's a daily scheduled outage from 4:30 to about 5:30 (GMT time)

everyday??? :cry: on my online schedule hours.. :cry: gosh and i have to live with it everyday? gosh..

I'm totally agree with you boss :rolleyes:

[cacky]

Hey ... thanx for the explanation folks. At least I figured it's not much of my internet connection here coz' I recently switched plans. I can understand about the huge influx of traffic with Jay's new album releasing.

Somehow, Lepencil's idea about banning guest visits is kinda like a good idea. Somehow, it creates the suspense about the forum and whoever wanna view it MUST join. However, we will then have a problem of people joining just to have a peek at what the forum is about and then never coming back.

*sigh* What should we do?

[charmed_1009]

Whoa...ban guest viewing...I'm fine with that...
but...but... :cry: ban regular users from browsing the thread...? :cry:

I'm a regular user here....pending to get into a group....

[lepencil]

Actually, things are already good as they are right now.

There is some technical reason why our server usually experiences outage at about the same time, but I don't think we need to elaborate about it, but other than that, yeah, our server's alive and kicking.

Just help us all contribute to our site maintainence. ORDER (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/announcement.php?f=67) your copy of <Qi Li Xiang> / (Orange Jasmine) and earn us some needy dough. Or you could spare a dollar or two and donate via paypal. That'd help keep all guests and our members happy. :happy:

[Pugwash]

No idea whether this has been pointed out but there is a considerable amount of space under certain signatures. i.e. Karen beneath the quote in your signature, there's a lot of lines before it hits the quote buttons. Same goes with Charmed and Cacky has less lines underneath hers.

Weird because water lily is fine.. and mine seems to be also.

[jakinni]

:? Isn't that just due to the fact that Karen doesn't have a banner in her sig so it appears there's more empty space? As well, the min. amount of space a post takes up depends on length of post or how long the profile is, which ever is longer. It depends on what goes in your profile on the left. Some have a lot in the Usergroups section so it stretches it out, or have long Location names. On the other hand, some don't have an avatar, so less space is taken up.

[Pugwash]

Ah, thanks for pointing out the profile thing Jakinni. Never realized that.

[charmed_1009]

Oh yeah...Thanks for pointing that out too jakinni! :happy:
I have a long location...so I guess the lines underneath my whole signature is longer....

I've always been wondering about this too...

[Pugwash]

Now that the games are over, should the group sites be up? :excited:

[littleasian]

hey jayx318x i got a little question. What ever happened to the Daily (well not daily..like every other day) Free Music/MV download that went on about 1/2 year ago?

Was that getting leeched like hell or something so you had to turn it off?

oh btw...i'd suggest you block off all of the jay music/movies/works downloads as well as the download and links site as to prevent leeching. That will really discourage leeching..as you'll have to become one of the member groups member's in order to view them.

man..leechers are such a more prevalent problem than when i joined back in the day :dry:

[charmed_1009]

littleasian...as far as i can see...leechers here are being 'handled' in a really adequate way :wink2:

I heard they closed off registration at the time when leechers most wanna get downloads...when Jay's album is going to be released and all...
I thought it was a really smart move....! :shifty: this will show those leechers...I just love to hear their exasperated groans...

[jayx8318x]

Pugwash, we're working on bringing the group sites back as they were lost in the last server move.
So far the only site partially back up is WMZY, but the name has changed to http://perfection.jay-chou.net partially to throw off people who are still hotlinking to avatars and stuff. And another part, so that people don't ask what wmzy means :rolleyes:

littleasian, I just don't have the time or desire to do it anymore really.

[ker_ai_teresa]

is there some automatic log out system in place after a specified time of "inactivity"? well, i have a small problem. whenever i'm typing a long post i get logged out after a while so when i go to hit the "post reply" i get a msg which tells me i'm not authorised to post (coz i was logged out). therefore i lose my post. at the moment, i'm just copying my long posts after i've typed it, then i go to log in again before i post it.

is there an option that we can change to stop the automated log off? or can this only be changed for the entire forum by the admins? :?

[kahel]

teresa somehow, i'm always logged in into the site 24 hours if I want to whenever I click on remember me checkbox on the login. :? maybe you need to adjust the cookie settings on your browser, or your firewall settings. try to set your privacy settings to medium if you are using IE 6.

There's a 20 minute time window in which you are logged in
After no activity for 20 minutes you get logged out, even with the remember me checked.
Remember me only gives you a cookie so next time you drop by, you don't have to log in.
How long winded are you Teresa?
Also try logging in from the forums and not the portal.

[ker_ai_teresa]

hehe...no not long-winded just distracted by the tv.

20 minutes? it always seems much shorter than that. :?

well, it's only a small inconvenience. i'll just have to remem to copy my msg before clicking the post reply button. :happy: and i'll try logging in from the forums next time.

thanx!

There seems to be a discrepancy between login/logoff times...
I used to have similar problems to Teresa.
Now, I'm like Kahel... always logged on (with remember me checked) 24/7 until I log off.

I'd say there's something up with her cookies...
Check your interent options...
If you're using IE, go into the options menu, privacy tab, and set it to Low.
Then flush out your history and cache, and make sure you delete all your cookies.

Try that... it might work.

EDIT:
I just thought of something else...
Do you access your account from different computers? For example, a workplace and home one.

If you do, it could cause the sort of thing you mentioned. To fix it, just make sure you delete the cookies from both (or more) computers.

[ker_ai_teresa]

no, i only access the forums from my home computer. but i'll try your suggestions. thanx! :)

[vunsin]

I don't get this. :unsure: lepencil tried to explain it to me before, but I didn't understand his technical terms. :sweat:

Anyhow, I didn't know that the daily outage hadn't been happening to other people anymore until it was brought up in the VIP lounge. It's still happening to me daily, as in right now! :oops: The strange thing is, it only happens when I use IE (the one I always use for everything). I only knew this after I found out that it was only happening to ME and tried a new method. When I experience the daily outage, I'd start using Yahoo! Browser. And there'd be no outage! So now I could still post this because I'm using Yahoo! Browser. But I don't like using this browser. How could I still use IE and not experience a daily outage anymore? :wacko:

[jayx8318x]

What version of IE are you using? Maybe you need to upgrade? Get some patches?
Clear your cache? I really dunno since it's a problem on your end, and not the server :sweat:

[JianDan[Ai]]

I think its cuz the outages just stopped. I mean the outage is usually going on now, but Im using IE and its still fine. If the site is really down, it doesnt matter what browser you use, the site wont load. =/ So if it works, just use IE ^^ haha

-edit-

yea also make sure your IE is updated too as Karen mentioned ^^

[vunsin]

I don't know what version it is, but it's definitely the latest version, because I've set the options so that all updates will be automatic. I clear my cache at least once every other day. :sweat:

Alby: But I have both browsers running, and IE is still having problems. :sweat:

[jayx8318x]

The outages has stopped for me like 3 weeks ago :sweat:
Try using IE again, is it still down?
Goto Help>About IE and it will tell you the version.

[vunsin]

Okay... I just edited my previous post. Anyhow, I've been trying this for a few nights already, but IE isn't working while Yahoo! is from 12:30am to 1:00am my time.

EDIT: Version 6.0.2800.1106

[jakinni]

I still get occasional outages, like everynight around this time, it'd do it once or twice, but nothing for long periods of time. I use IE too, don't know if that's the problem. Do you mean you can't access the site at all during this time using IE?? :?

[JianDan[Ai]]

Really? this is the FIRST day I havent got the outage... -_-;;;

hmm thats very strange, it could be your connection? I doubt it though =/ *goes off to do research as to what your problem could be*

[vunsin]

Mine is worse, I guess. IE just won't work from 12:30am to 1:00am my time no matter what. And only with this forum!

Connection? But Yahoo! Browser is working just fine! And I have DSL...

[jayx8318x]

Maybe you need to edit the security settings?
Tools > Internet Options > Security tab
And add this on the trusted site list?
I really dunno..just a suggestion

[vunsin]

I just tried, and I got a message that said: "Sites added to this zone must use the https:// prefix. This prefix assures a secure connection."

Edit: NVM... I just unclicked something...

[JianDan[Ai]]

OK, ive thought this over, and asked my CS nerdy friends =P and we cannot come up with anything. The only advice we can come up with is to make sure all your temporary internet files is completly cleared. =/ Still lookin for u tho

[vunsin]

*sigh* Everything that's useless is cleared on a daily basis, because my computer keeps running out of disk space. :sweat: Anyhow, thanks for helping me out! I hope this gets resolved somehow... :sweat:

[Pugwash]

Try reinstalling IE through the downloadable setup file available at Microsoft. It should re-download and reinstall everything through fresh downloaded files.

The link is available on this page (right hand side). (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=1e1550cb-5e5d-48f5-b02b-20b602228de6&DisplayLang=en)

I think your IE may have just gone a bit bogus and just needs a 'lil reinstall. :)

[vunsin]

Do I need to first uninstall the existing one or could I just reinstall over it? :?

[Pugwash]

Nerp, you can just run the file and re-install it. No need to uninstall.

[vunsin]

I just don't understand why it's only happening with jay-chou.net... :cry: I'll try that and hope it works!

[Pugwash]

Say you still get the outage with the site, immediatly go to Start -> Run -> Type in "cmd" without the quotes and when you're in command, you would type in these exact words: ping -t www.jay-chou.net

That way, if you are getting a ping response back, it's definitely IE because your computer is able to send and recieve data with Jay-Chou.net

karen...wackycashew...lepencil.....just any admin...hear me out...

There's a user here...named Phoebe...she's a Malaysian...she told me through another forum that she seem to have a problem with this forum ever since it changed to the 7LX edition...

the pages are getting to big...she has to scroll horizontally to view the page..
she can receive/view PM's but she can't reply to them
she can't post in any thread too i think...

That's what she PM-ed me with...so I was wondering if you could help her with this...I'll PM her back with the solution...

[kahel]

charmed if you're going to look at the very bottom of every page on the left side, there's a drop down menu for the forum skin you want to use. By default it's jcnet7lx. You can change that to the old blue jay skin or the default skin for Vbulletin. If she's having a problem with 7lx skin particularly, then she can have the option to change it to something else.

Ask her to clear her cache too. go to Tools->internet options->delete files and delete cookies. Then using a different skin, ask her to sign in. It's more likely a prob with her browser settings.

[Pugwash]

Was it just that page or every single one?

If it was just for that page, then there could have been large images causing her to scroll horizontally. If it's for every single page, it may mean her resolution is too low i.e. 640x800. Tell her to change it to minimum 800x600 or recommended 1024x768. Of course, tell her to adjust her monitor to the highest refresh rate possible after she had adjusted to these resolutions. If she does not know how, then right click desktop > properties > settings tab > advanced > monitor tab.

I recommend a minimum of 75hz so it's easy on the eyes. 60hz over a long period of time, will screw your eyes up.

What happens when she can't reply to PMs or start threads? They maybe related because one is sending data in a form of a message which would be in an inbox but the other one would be publicly displayed in a thread. Take kahel's suggestion of clearing her cache and cookies. That or re-installing IE6 w/ the latest updates.

Seems like she has a lot of problems. :cry: If she needs further help, just PM me for a contact and I'd be willing to help her over a chat program.

I have problem!
When i view the page or post, my window keep down and there has messege like this
Request Error (invalid_request)
Your request could not be processed.
This could be caused by a misconfiguration, or possibly a malformed request.
For assistance, contact your network support team.
But after i refresh the page, its ok..well i have to refresh the page every times i post/view.
My problem has been happening for a week, and i tried to check in the other site, it did not occure...so i think it only happen with jcnet of my window =[

Is there a way to report banners that broke the rule..??

or is pming a mod the only way to do so??

[catseyes]

I think PM'ing a mod who is online will be just fine. It's better than using the "report bad post" option because it will notify every mod and admin when the problem can be resolved by just one of us. :wink2:

Otherwise, PM'ing the person who had broken the banner rules can also be another option.

[littleasian]

hey...i dunno if this will be a good suggestion but here me out.

If you go the "members list" on the top and click it, youll see all the members that have logged into jay-chou.net

now i was just lookin through there (i was bored) and i was surprised to see that so many of the users...had 0 posts. Now...i was thinking...why is this? Could it be they're coming to jay-chou.net for the sole purpose of finding lyrics, pics, and freedownloads (leechers ...).

heres what i propose. If its possible (though it may take a looonnnggg time), go through and ban/delete every one of those users. They're not posting...they're not contributing, so chances are they're leeching. i know itll be time consuming, but maybe it'll be beneficial.

oh and another thing. We all know how leechers are rampant...especiallly in the downloads section. Why not do this....block of ALL new users...not just at peak hours..permanently. Instead, if they wish to join they must submit an "application" (its liek getttin a job). If you guys think they're up for it..than admit them in. If not, don't. This way, you won't have to bother with only so and so people who are jcnet regulars can watch this...and only these usergroup people can do that. Everything will be open to everyone. I think it'll make the forums more cohesive and united as one.

so ya..i thought these ideas were good..maybe they aren't..oh well

[MonkeyKing]

but i think every1 (with 0 post counts) should b given a 1 month warning either by PM or e-mail b4 this happens. it wouldn't b fair if they just showed up one day n had their account deleted IMO, http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/kao/otn/pblob5.gif

[jayx8318x]

Hi,
Thanks for the ideas, but I don't think they are practical nor fair, and here's why.


Could it be they're coming to jay-chou.net for the sole purpose of finding lyrics, pics, and freedownloads (leechers ...).

What's wrong if they just come here for the sole purpose of finding lyrics? Or Pics? Or free downloads?
Which we have. Do you never go to other forums for that same purpose, and never post? Alot of us do.
There's nothing wrong with that at all. If we limit the number of people who have access to such things, we lose contributers as well. Many times we've have 0 posters, even non-registered people, who
have pointed out in PMs that there were mistakes in the lyrics or whatnot, which is helpful to us.
We sometimes have people who come here to the Downloads & Links forum and leech, at some point they feel like contributing (maybe out of guilt who knows), so they'll post up a download or something, though few in number, hey it helps.


If its possible (though it may take a looonnnggg time), go through and ban/delete every one of those users. They're not posting...they're not contributing, so chances are they're leeching. i know itll be time consuming, but maybe it'll be beneficial.

First of all, forum software is very efficient, everything can be done in an automated system so deleting 0 posters can be done in 10 seconds. But again, I don't think it's a good idea.
Forcing people to post for the simplest of things such as lyrics or pics invites meaningless one liners. Alot of members we have who do not post don't have a good command of the english language, so they don't post. It's not fair to them, not to mention discriminating, if we say ok you have to post if you want the goods.


Why not do this....block of ALL new users...not just at peak hours..permanently. Instead, if they wish to join they must submit an "application" (its liek getttin a job).

Sorry but our lives do not revolve around this forum 24/7. You're just giving us more things to do.
In the end I'm the one that has to review these "applications" and maybe Lisa and lepencil too. We have our hands tied with more important issues (school, work). And we can't leave this to "people we trust" or other members to review it, because frankly, our criteria for a "decent member" is different than the next person, and again, everyone has more important things to do. We get dozens of new members each day, plus all the current members who have to do this "application" thing, it's too much work.


Everything will be open to everyone. I think it'll make the forums more cohesive and united as one.

I thought the whole purpose of your idea was to block things from certain people? And I don't see how this makes the forum cohesive in any way? How can you with 1000s of members? It's impossible. Our cohesion already lies in the social groups we already have.

In conclusion, there is no big problem with having 0 posters. I don't think the forums are slower in any way (maybe a tad, but it's bearable). How can our forums grow if we keep imposing such restrictions to our members? I'm afraid this will turn people off even more to our forums, we already have so many rules and standards here, another one is going to push people away even further.

I'm a member at alot of forums, most of which I've never posted a single thing, but I still visit them often for news and information. This site is an informative site, not a "leave a penny take a penny" type of site. The only restriction is the Jay Downloads, which we think is very fair, if you want the goods there, then yes you have to contribute.

And I do delete members ever so often, I mean if I didn't we would have over 30,000+ members. So it's not like I'm doing nothing to control our "population problem"

[littleasian]

ahhh icic...ya my ideas were a little far-fetched lol

but after reading that topic in F54 about noobies got my blood boiling :-x ...ive seen quite a few on the boards

oh well, i guess things are good the way they are now.

thx for running the site so well jayx318x :D

[vunsin]

Alright.... Some of you who'd tried to help me might remember this "problem" I was having with the "daily site outage" on my end. Well... I've tried everything everyone has suggested, BUT I'm still having the problem. What's worse is that now I even get the outage when I used Yahoo! browser. :cry: So I can't access the site at all from 12:30am to 1:00am EST. :wacko: I guess I'll just have to remember not to try to post during that time!

[jayx8318x]

The outages happen vunsin, they happen from time to time. It's most likely not your browser. Just let it go, I don't know what else to tell you.

[vunsin]

Well... like I've said, I'll just schedule my break time from the forum to be from 12:30am to 1:00pm... :tongue: It's no big deal. I just thought I should keep you guys updated, since you were so helpful to me when I first brought up the problem.

[Squall]

I found something very weird
look at the first picture
http://img47.exs.cx/img47/6076/weird5.jpg

the last post of the CS thread is by charmed 1009

now look at what i see when i enter that thread..
the last post become by mein :glug:
http://img47.exs.cx/img47/3676/weird6.jpg

anyone encounter this??

then i go search all posts today..
look at what i found
http://img44.exs.cx/img44/3676/weird6.jpg

i think last time it is sorted by the time posted..
and look at the time 7am :glug: :glug:
when it is 12:38am in Singapore :glug:
and i did adjust the time zone to GMT +8
so the time should be same as me

[lepencil]

Hmm? :glug: There's nothing wrong with the forums now, as far as I know. :glug:

The server went down a couple of hours before your post, if I remember correctly, so that might be a temporary glitch there. :glug::glug:

[kahel]

The forum had a problem last night. I think it was a glitch in the system. Somehow eventhough it's still Sept 18 the date for some posts where sept 19, thus the sept 18 posts are prempted before the sept. 19 posts causing double posting in some cases.

I think this went on for about 5 hours...approximately. I think. But it's fixed now, though some posts are misplaced. :wacko:

[Squall]

I posted that post last night...
when there is problem with the site..
i never knew it was a glitch :shy:
i thought the forum go crazy

[kasic_fantasy]

hey this is my first time making suggestion and i hope i did it right.hope this suggestion is not taken by anyone yet...

i suggest that its time for a change of the skins...i've browsed through previous skins used by the net and found them quite great...wondered if we can have them back or have something new....so that everyone have more choices to choose....

[sagara0510]

hmmm a new skin is always nice... but its alot harder to make one than most ppl think..

karen does all the site design if i'm not mistaken and she's been rather busy lately so i don't think it'll be possible to have a new skin implemented any time soon...

not to say this current skin is very old either... :happy:

[jayx8318x]

I don't make the skins from scratch because they take painfully long. I only customize them, and add modifications suited to our needs. Even so, it's not something I look forward to as it takes time I don't want to give up. With that said, we only add new skins when Jay has a new "something" out, be it movie, album, etc.

[kasic_fantasy]

then how about let us use the ols skins used by the net? coz now we only got 3 choices...can we have the old ones back?

[sagara0510]

i think some if not all the old skins can't be used because they were used with our old php system phpbb... now we've changed it over to vbullettin which is different and therefore the skins will be different....

[rainbowballoon]

Sorry.. but I was just wondering if images/pictures (instead of banners) can be posted under signatures? If it is a case of size-problems (taking too much space, etc), limits can be set. Just a suggestion though. :wink2:

[jakinni]

Banners ARE images/pictures with size limits though, so I don't understand how is your suggestion any different? :?

[rainbowballoon]

Er, what I meant is pictures/images like eg.20x20.. not something longer like banners, eg.300x150 or something.

[catseyes]

Er, what I meant is pictures/images like eg.20x20.. not something longer like banners, eg.300x150 or something.

http://www.jay-chou.net/bannerrules.htm

As long as it is within the limits of the banner rules, i don't see why you cannot put pictures of 20 x 20 pixels? :?

[rainbowballoon]

Just making sure..

So I can put something like the following....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/rainbowballoon/guopinchao.bmp
I watched DouYu!

....
into my signature right? As long as it doesn't exceed the limit?

[petheads]

Yup, rainbow.

That pic's all right. Any pic's fine as long as it does not exceed the banner rules limits. :wink2:

[htruc]

Ok I think that the art studio section should be organized. I think it should be organized like the Karaoke Lounge forum. Now that I think of it, maybe the Reading Room should also be organized this way.

Well here's my proposal.

So here's an example on how it's organized in the Karaoke Lounge:

[KARAOKE] yourusername - (Update: song name dd/mm/yy)

So my example of how the Art Studio would look like this:

[GRAPHICS] yourusername - (Update: added # graphics dd/mm/yy)

[WALLPAPERS] yourusername - (Update: added # wallpapers dd/mm/yy)

[ASSORTED*] yourusername - (Update: added ** dd/mm/yy)

I think most people will go under this title.
*ASSORTED includes wallpapers, graphics, avatars, banners, drawings, etc.
**Fill in whatever you've added, eg. added banners, added avatars and drawings.

And for [CONTEST], [CONTACT SHEETS], and those kind of things can be left that way.

And in your post, you should divided into sections:

Banners
add link
add next link
and so on...

Graphics
add link
add next link
and so on...

I think something similar will go for the same in the Reading Room:

[FANFIC] yourusername - (Update: added # chapters dd/mm/yy)

[POEM] yourusername - (Update: added # poem or poem title dd/mm/yy)

[ASSORTED*] yourusername - (Update: added ** dd/mm/yy)
*ASSORTED includes stories, poems, fan fictions, etc.
**Fill in whatever you've added, eg. added poems, added 2 chapters.

And in your post, you should divided into sections:

Fan Fiction
add links with Story Title*updated* dd/mm/yy
add next link *complete with # chapters* dd/mm/yy
and so on...

Example: (Using Vicluva's as a sample)

Her thread title: [STORY] Vicluva - (Update: completed story 05/02/05)

Stories
Autumn Leaves (http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9475) *complete with 17 chapters* 05/02/05

Poems
add links
or just type it up or quote it
and so on...

Ahh well, yea there's my 2 cents.

[wackycashew]

htruc: I can see where you're coming from with your proposal for the organization of Art Studio and Reading Room in likeness to the Karaoke Lounge; however, there is a reason why these two forums are not organized like the Karaoke Lounge to begin with. :happy:

Allow me to illustrate the differences between the forums and the sort of problems that will arise with organizing things in the Karaoke Lounge format. =)


In Karaoke Lounge, the best way is to have each member start his/her own thread.

example:
[KARAOKE] - your username (updated: song name dd/mm/yy)

This is because it would be very haphazard looking if you create a new thread every time you sing a song. Since only links to songs are provided, if I'm curious to check out a member's singing, I only need to visit one designated thread. Ideally, members who post their karaokes should organize their links in some sort of chronological order so that it's easy to spot the "latest" songs. That's why the Karaoke Lounge is organized by username threads.


In Art Studio, topics are labelled according to the category the artwork falls in - e.g.: GRAPHIC, WALLPAPER, DRAWING, etc.

As you mentioned in your examples, if we were to organize threads by username, most people would go for the ASSORTED option. This is because most people who are "artists" will rarely limit himself/herself to one category of work. But if you think about it, this organization method will not be the best when it comes to artwork. First of all, the ASSORTED title makes the categorizing vague. Secondly, since most people will not only create just graphics or just wallpapers or just one category of artwork, the GRAPHICS, WALLPAPERS, etc. username categorizations will mostly likely be minimal. So, what you will end up seeing in Art Studio would be a list of threads entitled ASSORTED, followed by username and most recent updated date. This becomes rather meaningless because I must click on the member's link to see exactly what kinds of art has he/she contributed. Unlike Karaoke Lounge where I know I will only find songs.

The other problem is the graphic intensiveness of the Art Studio threads. If one posts every piece of art he/she wants to share in just one thread, it can take a while to load all the graphics. Right now, we allow avatars, banners, and graphics along with small drawings to be posted inline (meaning using the [IMG] tags), but large artforms such as wallpapers should be posted as links. When you reflect upon this, you will see that even if the threads are organized in a way where there are sections clearly labelled (i.e. banners, graphics, wallpapers, etc.), it would be tiring to click on every single link the member has posted (e.g. 15 wallpaper links) and it will take too long to load if everything's compiled into one thread (e.g. 10 banners, 5 graphics, 5 wallpapers).

Not to mention, a lot of people may create items related to special themes/occasions. Therefore, if a thread is started, the member may post a few lines describing how he/she was inspired to create the piece. So, if everything's lumped together, it will limit the member on the descriptions he/she may like to offer because everything will pretty much be reduced to links.

That is why overall, the topics should just be labelled with the correct category. Ideally, if you want to post a series of artwork at the same time, you should just start 1 new thread as opposed to 3 or 4 different threads (e.g. if I just made 2 graphics I'd like to share, I should only start 1 thread). The only exception would be if you are continuously updating a thread for a specific purpose (e.g. Miss_gun's banners thread), or if you want to post a variety of categories of artwork in one go and condense your post through compilation of your work (e.g. if I just made 3 banners and 1 graphic).


As for Reading Room, it is currently organized like the Art Studio, but with different categories, obviously. The problems will be similar to what I've mentioned above. Instead of being graphics intensive, it will be text intensitive. Take a fan fiction for example. If you have that mixed in with other stories, poems, etc. that you write in just one thread, it would be taxing on a reader's eyes to decipher what exactly one is reading. Hence, you may post a number of poems in one thread because poems usually aren't that long. But preferably, not stories or fan fics. It'd be just too much to go through at one time. Imagine clicking on a thread where the first post takes up a whole page? And if one writes fan fics, the member should post the first chapter in the first post of the thread. Subsequently, just make new posts in their thread for new chapters, with the associated link edited into the first post. Again, this would minimize loading time and avoid confusion for the readers.


Thanks again for your proposal and I hope it's clear why Art Studio and Reading Room aren't organized like Karaoke Lounge. :-)

I'm not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but lately, some of my subscribed threads have been disappearing from time to time. I'll resubscribe to them, but they'll disappear again. Just wondering if that was a problem I could fix or something. Thanks.

This could be due to the subscribed thread being closed, which cancels the subscription.

Mine is just a small matter :rolleyes: .. I noticed that the join date displayed in my profile is wrong.. It is supposed to be Aug 29 but it's now displayed as Aug 30 :glug:

This could be due to the change of your Timezone settings...

I couldn't post at all on the new layout. whenever i tried to push the new reply button, this thing pops up and says something like the program yangling.ddl is running and we have to shut down internet explore...it wasn't until i figured out how to switch back to the initial d layout until i could post...i've been missing out so much!!!:cry:

I think it may be due to old versions of shockwave/flash installed on your computer.



And I have a question myself: How come it doesn't display our member groups at the side anymore?

The same thing happened to me too.. But when I'm using the Initial J version, the info displayed well :wink2:

I heard a great idea, i think it was from a different thread. If its from this one, I'm terribly sorry and sorry for the incovinience. But its to make a JCNET radio on here, so you can listen to music when you enter JCNET. I know this will affect the 56kbps connectors, but if you lower the bit rate, to say about 48 or 30kbps, then it would be fine. The problem with it skipping can be solved easily, just create a small frame on either the sides or top or bottom and when you change web pages, it wont refresh, it will jsut continue playing. Also it wont automatically start, which helps the dial up users, instead the member has to manually press the play button. I personally dont know how to configure it but i'm pretty sure one of your members do, maybe mandarinradio(not sure if thats his actual username).

chineseguyjl, I think you're referring to the topic entitled [Suggestion] A Radio at JC.NET http://www.jay-chou.net/forums/showthread.php?t=11361

I've been wondering whether it would be better organized if we split the Download & Links forum into 4 sub forums, namely Chinese Multimedia, Japanese Multimedia, Korean Multimedia and Other Multimedia. Right now, if we are to find a particular song or album in that forum, it will be a bit troublesome.

Just throwing in my 2 cents. ;)

Hi there, I have a lil' suggestion, how about including a function that enables you to see all posts you've posted inside the User CP instead of having to find a post you recently posted, click on your username from there and then on the link "Find all posts by ---"?

I was thinking, it'd be easier if we had a similar function in our User CP, it allows us to track our posts easily without having to search all the forums. Especially for people who post a lot each day, they don't have to trawl through every forum to check for replies and such.

if i understand what you're trying to say.. dont we already have that function?
when you click on the username on a post a user makes, a box will scroll down and you click "find more posts by ---" and it'll show all their posts.

is that what you're talking about?

junnleenfaah: Yes I'm talking about that, but I mean could we have this function in the User CP as well? So we don't have to search through the forums to find our old posts; just go to the User CP?
