Hi, I tried to pasting an email correspondance into 'report an ad' and got a massive error page. Didn't like it at all.

New Glitch discovered
In the chatroom you now have the ability to view other people's pics and ads, but there are 2 problems I can see so far
1) If you've been in the chatroom for more than about 15 minutes (not sure of exact timing on this), you get logged off the rest of the site, so if you try to view someone's ad you get sent to the login page instead of their advert. Surely if you're chatting in the chatroom you should still be classed as being logged into the site :confused:
2) The member photos don't come up at all. I have a photo on my profile which should by rights come up if someone clicks on my member pic in the room. All that happens is the box says "showing pic 1 of 0"

The problem here is using two very different systems, your chat room is in IRC and the forums are coded on the server as php. To integrate the two you will either have to have one kick ass C programmer to recode IRC to integrate with your database, or the more easier method of creating a bot that can talk to the forum db. After seeing all these bugs so far on the site, i am somewhat doubtfull of the programmers ability :P no offence ment though, love the site, and think SH rocks. Just from a programmers point of view a lot of the errors being shown are "school boy" errors....

Is it me or is there a problem with pictures.
I tried to add a picture to a message.....no joy
I tried to add .jpeg pictures to the My Photo folder but it keeps telling me they are not jpeg
when they are so now I cannot answer adverts that ask for a picture because I cannot attach a picture.
Somebody help please..

try changing the extention of your image from .jpeg to .jpg then re-upload. PM me if you still have a problem and i will try and give you more detailed information smile
The "Text" part of the search only seems to search the username to see if that string exists, ideally i would have assumed it would be checking everything within the profile i.e. username, adverts...

OK call me a dumball but in the old site I could go to my advert and update it so it came somewhere near the top again.
As an old desperate pervert rotflmao :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
CAN I STILL DO IT AND IF SO HOW.
I am sure that once the glitch's are sorted this site will get back to being the good site that it always was.
:twisted: Taff666 :twisted:

The adverts are always displayed in the order of the last added or edited.
Hi
every time i press the "update" button in my photo manager i get this error........

hi can any mods tell us when we go to update our adds that our looking for cpls add aint got any way of updating or even deleteing
(oops, sorry - posted this as a new thread by accident .. try again)
Images posted within mails don't seem to display (or maybe they're not delivered). When we read mails in My Mailbox, we don't see images that have been posted to us just the tags and the filename like this:
Also, when is the search option going to reappear in Photo Ads? This has to be the biggest missing feature at the moment & searching for profiles isn't even close to the same functionality ..
R&D
Ok,
If this has been asked before I apologise but I cannot be assed to wade through 600 pages of moans and groans it makes me depressed.
When are we going to be able to seach the adverts again???? Not the pointless profiles which seem to have appeared frorm nowhere and actually tell you nothing and which incidentally I never wanted in the first place!!!
P.S. Even with the profile why does it say they have not got pics when they have????
Thanks
Him who used to be Glosguy before this all changed!!!!
Please help, can you tell me why my profile reads as a couple (which I am part of) but member search comes up with me as a single fem??
thanks xxxxxxxxxx
May have been done, I don't know.
Mark all Topics read (at the top of each forum index page), does not mark the topics read.
Good work on the mailbox controls guys . I now have so many options to delete stuff , I can almost delete everything withour reading it ! thanks for the quick response to our request .

Is it possible to add a box on the profile page for further info (like a mini ad) where people can post further information.
That way anyone who is NOT actively swinging can post a message telling No Pms or Unsolicited Pms will be ignored. This could cut down the unsolicited pms people are getting? (seeing most of the wanna shag brigade are not even bothering to come onto the forum - they only search profiles for prospective Marks)
Steph biggrin

Like they will actually read it rolleyes
Seeing as I have classed myself as a straight male on my profile - you'd think they might have noticed that :shock:
Have added the following to the list and commented where I can, Thursday Evening I'll go through all of the glitches so far and re-summarise with progress so far.
The "Text" part of the search only seems to search the username to see if that string exists, ideally i would have assumed it would be checking everything within the profile i.e. username, adverts...
## The adverts search is being rewritten, because of the size of the database we have to be careful not to put a search up that kills the site.
Is it possible to add a box on the profile page for further info (like a mini ad) where people can post further information.
## We were talking about this today and will try to add it this week if we can.
Images posted within mails don't seem to display (or maybe they're not delivered). When we read mails in My Mailbox, we don't see images that have been posted to us just the tags and the filename like this:
## I've run a test using the add an image function which will add images from your SH galelry ie
and external images ie #http://www.swingingheaven.co.uk/images/logo-border.gif# (#'s need to be taken out), seems to work ok now.
Also, when is the search option going to reappear in Photo Ads? This has to be the biggest missing feature at the moment & searching for profiles isn't even close to the same functionality ..
## See above.
Even with the profile why does it say they have not got pics when they have????
## If its in the photo ads results then this is because there are no photos with the ad, another reason may that they only have private photo's, if you come across another pm me the details andf I'll take a look.
Please help, can you tell me why my profile reads as a couple (which I am part of) but member search comes up with me as a single fem??
## Member search needs revising, single fem/male should read fem/male.
Mark all Topics read (at the top of each forum index page), does not mark the topics read.
## To be looked at.
Admin/Mods on the site need to be in bold on Forum page
## To be looked at
Chatroom
1. Because the window is a fixed size and there are a large number of people using it, the list of User Profiles (from the drop-down menu option) only lists the first x number of people - there is no scroll to get to the bottom of the list.
2. The list of users (right hand frame) seems to sort in no particular order and keeps re-sorting every time someone joins/leaves. This makes it very difficult to select a user to whisper to.
3. I assume the more basic issues of slowness and rebooting are already being looked into. This is a major gripe for room users at the moment.

This is a little thing really but it is niggling at me.....
When I look at who is online at the bottom of the Index Page to the Forums the colours aren't bold enough to see if a Moderator or an Admin person is online....can we have bold colours please?
I know it's little but if I find a tosser that is posting something against the AUP I generally PM a Mod if there is one online and at the moment its really hard to see if there IS a Mod online.....
Thanks ever so....
With apologies if this has been posted somewhere else or should be in another thread (I couldn't spot one)......some issues with the chatroom:

I've added the admin/mod bold requirement and the chatroom feedback to the list.
The chatroom is being worked on at the moment to try to sort out those bugs and a few more we have found.
Is it possible to have "notify of reply to topic" turned back on by default. Currently you have to remember to tick it when posting or use the "watch this topic" function.

Its easy to do but some might get upset with all of the emails, might need a poll.

Personally I dont want to be notified of every thread I post on having a new post..... It has never to my knowledge been turned on by default. You have always had to tick the box to get a notification.

Cool - now we see the pics in our mailbox, so I guess that is parsing all those tags properly now. Thanks for the good work - I guess we will have to be patient with the advert searching, but the rest of the site is really coming together. It's certainly great not to have all those pages failing to load.

Personally I would rather have it the way it is and that you have to tick to receive reply notifications.
Anyone who posts a lot would very quickly find themselves in undated with notifications and some email accounts such as etc, can very soon become overloaded.
IMO the person wanting to view the replies should make the effort to tick the box. I don't want to tick the box to avoid all the junk in my mail confused

Steve has just mentioned to me that he has found that if he want notifications to a thread he has to tick the box everytime he posts a reply to a thread (This is while he is composing his reply btw) There used to be a "Watch this topic" box that you could tick and it would send you notifications of more posts once they had been made. Would it be possible to have this option again??

Before, there was a global forum setting that let you choose to recieve a notification or not. I'm still getting the notifications, as I had this turned on pre-facelift, so I expect the functionality is still there and it's just the button that is missing.
Following on from that, I have another glitch to report, I'm unable to log in from any pages othe than the lists of topics - if I go to an particular thread (by following a link in a notifcation mail for example), nothing happens when I enter my name/password.
Following the convention of reporting missing functionality that the old site had in the glitch thread, it seems we no longer have the ability to use .gif files for avatars (I'm reluctant to investigate as I don't want to lose mine... at least not until after christmas!)
Would the staff find it useful for the members to compile a single, up to date list of glitches/missing functionality issues, and rate their severity?

This is true, it was part of your forum profile. Everyone has their requirements, so can it be put back ??
