that's been said like 100 times now in the last week... I've yet to see anything get fixed or anyone say anything about what they are doing to fix it...

check this problem out...

if I go to livevictoria.com (already logged in via cookies) all the topics are gone. So then I go to vanislemusic.com (already logged in) and the topics are all gone there as well.

if I go to vanislemusic.com without being logged in, I can see all the topics, then log in while making my first post and then it all seems normal.

how fucking stupid is that?!

Oh, but watch out for some dumbass to jump in and defend the site by saying "go build your own" or "they do it for free so just appreciate what they give us" or some other dumb shit... - Wed, 22 Oct 2003 6:54pm

Due to some of you having problems and some not having problems its probably due to your settings in the browser you are using. I haven't had any problems with the site, so i'm guessing its a settings issue. However i'll be the frist to point out i've been wrong before. - Wed, 22 Oct 2003 10:52pm

Every time it's happened to me it's been followed by Nev saying there was work being done on the site then sure enough everything re-appears... - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 6:12am

Well I don't imagine it is something i've changed (on 4 different computers) so I'm guessing something has happened either to my account or the site... wait a sec, I don't think it's my account since I just created a new one and the exact same problem is happening...

Hmmm.... well... can't do shit about it so guess I'll just deal with it... joy

I'll say it again...

There are TONS of free message board packages that DON'T have these shitty problems and are JAM PACKED with every single message board feature that I see everyone keep asking about, and you don't have to fucking hand code all your session management... there I've said it again... - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 8:49am

Well I have a $300 computer and I've never had any problems other than when I put a long post together sometimes the server "gets bored" and shoots it into the ozone. Frustrating. - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 10:24am

Keep flogging the dead horse on precoded board software. Nev decided he wanted to code it on his own, and although a few of you might not like it, it's the direction he's decided to take. Don't like the boards? Don't use the boards. There I said it. Now let's call in the vet and put the dead horse in it's final resting place. - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 11:05am

I know the server is back east, and has been down a few times. We actually do pay to host our site on the same server, so yeah I'm allowed to complain. Anyway other than that I've never had a problem logging on here and all the topics seem to be there. - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:13pm

Just becuase someone decides to go a certain route, doesn't mean it was the right choice and it also doesn't mean they can't change their mind and direction at any point.

The horse lives... - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 12:29pm

The horse will live when Nev decides to use a precode setup and not do his own coding. Until that point, it's a dead horse and flogging it makes the whiners who aren't willing to take the initiative and make a better board look like infants at best. Think you can do better with a site like this? Go ahead, nothing stopping you other than your inherent need to hack, bitch, moan and complain because someone decides to think outside the box and do things the way they want to. They pay for the bandwidth fees, they payed for teh domains. When you start "paying" them BB, then and only then do you have the right to bitch. - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 1:04pm

bb you are an idiot, scott said it was probably your browser settings and you just proved it by starting up a new account, the same thing keeps happens, because you are still using the same browser. - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 2:47pm

No probs here , but if we're bitching being able to use HTML or UBB for pics would be cool or maybe I don't know the code ?

Please help my dumbass ! - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 9:17pm

Colin, you obviously can't read.

Shaggy, I am free to bitch all I want when someone puts up services for people to use and has chosen to make it all up from scratch and continues to have basic coding problems.

I can certainly appreciate the effort involved because that is what I do for a living. Why someone would ever want to think "outside the box" and make a fucking simple message board from scatch is beyond me. It's a waste of time and resources... but hey, maybe he is experimenting and learning, who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares.

Every message board on the fucking planet is free. If they ask you pay, they get no one using it.

Oh, and Ross Bay is the idiot. Get your facts straight!

If you're tired of me bitching about it, don't read my posts.

I've been trying to report problems with this site (since there are many) in hopes the damn thing will be stable and have useful features that are at least remotely consistent with the rest of the bloody internet.

So maybe the horse is dead, but hopefully the carcass isn't totally rotten yet...

Bitch bitch bitch... - Thu, 23 Oct 2003 10:30pm

"who the fuck knows and who the fuck cares."

Well since you don't care, shut yer whining pie hole for christ sakes. Wanna report bugs? Email em to the site admins (Nev and Scott). - Fri, 24 Oct 2003 6:43am

Its not that difficult is it??? Fucking retard. Maybe with all your "expertise" you forgot how to email the people who run this site. Either that or they have had enough of your shit and blocked your email address. Get the butt plug out of your ass and stop complaining, this message board is fine. - Fri, 24 Oct 2003 7:51am

Nev decided to code the message board himself for practice and to learn, as well if he decided he wanted to add any certain feature or do anything to it in the future he could even if such option didn't exist on one of the pre fab boards. It has its moments (up's and downs) however so does anything with a little DIY. However I do agree, Nev rushes though the beta test phase a little too quick sometimes, but thats what makes him Nev =) - Fri, 24 Oct 2003 8:17am

Nev probably would have learned a shitload more using a pre-built package, since you get ALL the source code and can modify or customize every single aspect of the entire package.

Scott, any idea if Nev is aware of this cross-domain issue?

Oh and Shaggy, just in case you missed it, my point was that I didn't care why Nev chose to do what he did.

And I'll continue to complain about shit that doesn't work as long as there is something that bugs me enough to make it worth complaining about.

Thanks and have a nice day :) - Fri, 24 Oct 2003 9:19am

Well at least you're honest about being a pain in the ass. God forbid you could save the site some bandwidth fees and actually email though right? Thanks for proving the only reason you're doing it on these boards is due to your need to whine, bitch, moan and complain. If these boards mean that much you have to act like a 10yr old in getting your point accross, you need some serious mental health help. - Fri, 24 Oct 2003 12:33pm
