Site Problems??
 

For the past week or so, I've been having a huge issue with the site. I have high speed internet and every forum that I visit is not giving me this same problem. Also, I did not experience this issue before a week or two ago.

The main page that I type in (mitsustyle.com/forums) always loads up just fine, like anyother site. However, it's when I start navigating the site where the time to load a page is drastically reduced. It takes minutes to load a section (listing the threads) and minutes more after I click on a specific thread. It's like I have dial up all over again....very frustrating.

I was wondering if there is any rhyme or reason to this? I don't have any computer/server knowledge. Also, is anyone else having this issue?

Re: Site Problems??
 

No issues here.

Re: Site Problems??
 

I can't recall ever having an issue with the site other than when the server was getting attacked and no one was able to get to it.

Re: Site Problems??
 

From work or home, I've never experianced what you are describing. Generally I'm on every day, for most of the day.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Any ideas? I'm up for anything at this point.

Re: Site Problems??
 

I bet a gang bang with Ron Jeremy would clear the problem right up.

Re: Site Problems??
 

:scared:

Re: Site Problems??
 

I dont know shit about computers but I also know mine has been working just great. No problems here.

Re: Site Problems??
 

No problems like you are describing for me either.... at home or work. Not sure...

Re: Site Problems??
 

Rather than make a new thread, I'll just post it here. Every time I try to change my avatar, it makes it gets really small. I'm uploading it from a 350 x 461 image. Am I doing something wrong, or is it the site?

Re: Site Problems??
 

It's scaling it down to fit our requirements. The image is being scalled down the same percentage for the H & W to make it remain clear with the new size. Just means it's working correctly.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Ok, so how do I get it so it's the same size as everyone else's?

Re: Site Problems??
 

Decrease the quality of the pic.

Re: Site Problems??
 

I'm not having that problem, but i have another question. Why wont the 'Edit Vehicle Profile' work for me? It says that i dont have access to it, but i did before...was that just taken off the site or something and I did not notice?!

Re: Site Problems??
 

I tried that, and it's still small. The one I have up now is one that I had a while back, and it was fine then, but it's showing up small now. I haven't changed the pic at all since I had it the first time.

Re: Site Problems??
 

I tried to get in the arcade and it says my usergroup is not allowed to play games! :flamethrower:

Re: Site Problems??
 

haha, back to work slave!!! :D

jk, I'll see if I can fix it...

Re: Site Problems??
 

hrm, you have permission, just make sure you're logged in!

Re: Site Problems??
 

I have that same problem. A lot of people on here have bigger avatars than I do and I don't get it why it shrinks mine. Also, when I am on the main MAIN page and click "New Posts", it gives me errors. Sometimes it says I am not logged in and sometimes it takes me to some page with weird coding stuff.

Re: Site Problems??
 

I have noticed it before that it logs you out when you click the arcade button. Not a big deal but it didnt do that before.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Looking for somehting specific to buy. Toss it in here.

Re: Site Problems??
 

OK, whenever I log on, it just goes right back to the login page, even after saying "thank you for logging in"
I can do this an unlimited amount of times too
I can't login from the homepage up in the corner beacuse it tells me that the admin needs to add my domain or something to allow this
I can only get to the login if I click to quote someone or reply

I dunno, sometimes it works, but more 9 times out of 10 it doesnt.

Everything is fine on my end, I've checked all my settings.

Oh, and it acts like this no matter where I login in from, home, school, work, etc.

Re: Site Problems??
 

We know about the login issue from the home page, but once you are in the forums, you should be able to log in no problem. Just put in username & password, and check 'remember me'.

Are you going to dsmstyle.com or mitsustyle.com ?

Re: Site Problems??
 

I go to dsmstyle.com, and I'm guessing I should be going to Mitsustyle.com, right?

Re: Site Problems??
 

Yes, that's probably part of the problem.

Re: Site Problems??
 

So why is my avatar small?

Re: Site Problems??
 

Reformat it to fit correctly.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Tried. It says in the upload screen that I can only use a 50X50 pixel pic. How is it some people get the bigger pics, but I'm stuck with crappy small ones haha?

Re: Site Problems??
 

How about making the search so you can use 3 letter words? There are a lot of them that would be helpful, E85, Evo, etc.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Good idea! I lowered it to 3. I can do 2 as well, if someone can think of a good reason why?

Re: Site Problems??
 

Isn't that a change in the MySQL database settings for full-text searches? Does that require you to rebuild the indexes or is it automatic?

If you lower it to 2 the index will get a lot larger, probably not necessary.


Edit: After one search it's very apparent, this is only going to take effect on new posts unless you manually tell it to rebuild the search indexes.

Also, please automatically include a star after each search word. Otherwise I have to remember to type in turbo* oxygen* in my searches if I wanted to find posts with turbos and some word form of oxygen. It looks like it's already splitting up the search by words so it shouldn't be too hard to add them: ... AGAINST ('+$word1* +$word2* ...' IN BOOLEAN MODE) ...

Re: Site Problems??
 

Hit me up with a link or two on this info, mostly because I can't be bothered to search myself.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Edit: guess I misunderstood.

To rebuild an index: REPAIR TABLE tbl_name QUICK;
You'll have to do this for every table with a full-text index that you're searching.

As for adding a * to searches, you'll have to look at vBulletin code to see wherever it's doing its searches. Look for "in boolean mode" or something like that. See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/...t-boolean.html for the SQL syntax for MySQL.

Re: Site Problems??
 

He wasn't mad at you, he just wants you to send a link because he's lazy. You were helpful, I understood, and I sock at computer language.

And here's a good reason not to include two letter words: FU !

Re: Site Problems??
 

I guess first I should have asked, are you using the default vBulletin search or the MySQL built-in full text searches? If you're using vBulletin search engine I have no idea how to make the changes.

Re: Site Problems??
 

Anyone else seeing the weird stripe across the top in Firefox? Inbetween the nav menu and the forum - subforum listings

Re: Site Problems??
 

I see a big open area, and I didn't touch anything, I swear.

Re: Site Problems??
 

It started doing it yesterday, the ads are messed up. Also I have to hit back twice to go back instead of once, this is IE7.

Re: Site Problems??
 

There was a google ads reference in there for some reason, like the template reverted to an old or something. Might have been something non-working when the ads were setup, and now it started working, or vice-versa. Oh well, all better now!

The main forums page is about 3 screens wide in Safari. Just started doing it today. It loads normal at first, then it seems like it loads something at the bottom and it goes super wide. Could be the shoutbox?
