SatelliteGuys 4.0 (upgrade) Problem Thread

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

Is it possible to change the icon colors on the left side of the screen? The blue and gray icons are too similar, making it difficult to see which threads have new messages.
 
I do not know if it is just me, since I do not see it mentioned, but each time I change pages, even in the middle of a multipage thread, I have to log back in.... NOT user friendly on slow speed internet.

I am having a similar issue. It doesn't make me login when I change pages but it appears to log me out if I am inactive for a period of time. I tend to keep Satteliteguys up in one of my tabs. I have had several times today that I came back to the tab after a while and was logged out. Is there an inactivity logout feature in this version? I never experienced this issue in the older version, I could leave it logged in all day and was never logged out that I recall.
 
Can't find the quick forum link that I used before. Used to pop up a list of forums to switch too.. Maybe I am just blind but I can't find it..
vBulletin has done away with the forum jump in vBulletin 4.0.

They now have a new version called Quick Navigation which can be found under the posts to the right above the quick reply box.

A lot of people at the vBulletin support are upset about this and in addition no one has found a way to have the Quick Navigation at the top and bottom of the thread. :(
 
Before the upgrade, whenever I launched the web browser and opened SatGuys, I'd see a welcome message with my name, telling me I'm logged in.

Can this be restored?
 
I lost PDA mode now loads much slower on my dial up. Is the font size smaller, my 62 year old eyes find it harder to read or is it a contrast problem? Now back to trying to read forums I've placed my bitch.

It is still there. Look at the very top of the page.

I see

Good Morning Welcome, JAG72
 
Very nice overall.

If I am in the main forum page and I select 'new posts (entire site)' it properly excludes the forums I have hidden. However, if I select it from the search results page, it gives me everything, including the hidden forums.

I usually hit new posts just before I hit 'mark everything read' so I can see what was posted while I was going through the list.
 
Before, if I was done with a thread and just wanted to go back into the same forum, I would just click on the forum name in the FORUM JUMP/Quick Navigation at the bottom of the screen. That no longer works. It just brings up the list of forums to jump to, and then you have to find the same forum you are in. Very inconvenient.
 
I noticed that when I reply with multiple quotes, the next time I reply to someone the multiple quotes show up again.

Also, the system logs me out when I have it sit on hold for a while.

I haven't had this problem...picked-up the laptop after a coupe hours last night and again this morning and I was still logged-in. You may wish to logout and back in. Oh, if you're logging in at top right, there is a block you need to check to "remember me"...although there is no accompanying text associated with this block.

Doesn't say which mod deleted a post anymore

I hadn't regularly started browsing DBSTalk until recently, but watching football and revisiting a tab that was Satguys I thought it was DBStalk due to the new theme until I saw a post by Scott and did a double take.
