On a customised XP machine, and using IE... I know, I know. I just finished up here at work, so I am going to go and see if it happens with my laptop device at home... It will probably take me about five minutes to get up there and boot up the machine, so I will be back in five.

Edit to add:

Ok, on my vista home premium laptop now, and the replies and saved sections are just empty now...Which is weird because both were pretty full before all the wierdness happened! The only thing in the reply section is your reply to me from this thread.

Here's a new one (for me) that just came up:



The number in parentheses after "parse error" varies every time you click on the message.

- said on the Bugs thread i couldnt upload
but after some configuration - other browser etc - its going fine

just thought it was correct to let you know ,Sceptic

regards,

The only thing I can think of is there is some script on your machine (either via the customization or a browser add-on), clashing with the ATS script that responds to deleting messages.

If you're seeing them disappear "before your eyes," that's the only explanation as that behavior requires a mouse-click from the user.

Checking replies in my message box and all I get when I click on them is:

parse error(different numbers depending on reply)...

Same here.

Must be one of the new features thats clashing, because I have NEVER had a problem on either the older machine at work, or indeed my laptop at my home. Its a shame I lost that stuff, because I had all my applause notifications in my saved folder, along with some inter membership correspondence.

Ah well. I guess I will have to use the messege centre from my laptop only in future!

I would STRONGLY recommend getting to the bottom of the problem. *SOMETHING* is causing simulated clicks on the page, and that's NEVER a good thing.

-just a tiny glitch, but a glitch when all said and done. When a page has a youtube video on it, it goes over and not under the top bar when you scroll. By top bar I mean the one that follows down that has top, hot etc. OS win 7 hp, IE 10, PC HP omni all-in-one desktop thingy. Site is great by the way, many thanks

SO is right. You should do some cleanup, as well as virus/malware scans on that XP machine, and stop using IE8 immediately. It is obsolete, and websites are not coding for it any more. Among other problems it already had.

Also make sure your Java is up to date, and old versions are uninstalled. Old versions leave more holes to be exploited.

In all likelihood, it's related to an old browser issue with the CSS Z-INDEX not being supported properly on the OBJECT tag. In this case, the OBJECT will always render as the top-most element in the stack above and HTML elements regardless of their Z-INDEX value. If this is the case, there is no fix (short of massive rewrites and spaghetti code) to resolve it on all platforms.

Thanks for replying. If there is no hope of fixing it, I can't really say it worries me, it is not an important thing. I just mentioned it as it is a glitch I had noticed.

This occurs when you click on the "Go" button in the archive without entering the date:


"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND l.total < ) and l.replies > 10 AND l.fid=f.fid ORDER BY l.total limit 0,25' at line 1"

Not sure if you saw the other stuff I mentioned earlier in the thread (haven't seen anybody else mention them, either):

30/90 day view

"Archive" section sorting

PM subjects with quotation marks

One more thing I noticed is that when you are viewing posts in a thread from a specific member (or for just your own posts), the link locations to individual posts are no longer necessarily valid because they contain the page number of the modified view, not the actual page number in the whole thread.

This may have been that way before, and it's not a big deal. Just thought I'd mention it.

Hope this stuff helps.

It wasnt like watching it happen click by click. I literally saw the full boxes,then watched as the contents receeded up to the top until there was nothing left. I would say it was more like watching a measuring tape retract back into its casing than anything else, so its not likely to be a remote access issue. Also our virus and malware databases are solid and up to date. Also, I have not done anything that I can think of which would offend great powers, and neither our business nor any individual within our business could even loosely be described as well off, so its unlikely that we have been hacked.

As for solving the problem, I am not computer literate enough to do so, and there is no way we will let anyone outside the business touch our computer. Its only ATS I have had the problem with, and I have checked all our e-mail accounts, supplier accounts and everything else. Its all in good order. No random disappearing stuff anywhere but ATS.

Like I said, the only fix I have available at this time is to basically stop using ATS at work, which sucks, but hey, better that than have my records on here just slide right out of existence right?? Just an addition to that, chrome doesnt run on that machine, because its clunky and massive. Firefox does, but argues with all our supplier sites. Its Internet Explorer or bust on that machine, and we are not going to spend money any time soon on a new one, simply cannot afford it. Plus, my mother (also my boss) doesnt do change where technology is concerned

Yes, that's indicative of a rather serious issue on your computer. Those messages DO NOT disappear on their own, even if they had mysteriously disappeared on the system while the page was open. There needs to be a local action on your computer -- clicking the X -- to cause that behavior.
