Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | Mine posted, viewed later in the day and then disappeared. I searched some old posts and it appears if you start a topic it may end up blank. The server time didn't update for standard time either so all my posts were an hour off.
There are some clear signs of a database/database integrity issue that seems like it started with the upgrade but I'm not sure. I hope there is a database repair tool. The forum history and search function is the power of the forum I think. Hard to believe how large the group has become and tougher to imagine the data being stored.
Thanks Paul.

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Two thoughts on posting issues:
1) Maybe it's the change from Daylight Saving back to Standard. Always causes problems. Best not to fret yet.
2) Disappearing posts. Don't copy and paste. Maybe that will correct it. Or maybe not.
2.5) Previous solutions mentioned: make sure it says "usingUBBcode" under your message box. And go to "My Stuff", Edit Pref, Current Server Time and choose yours.
Whatever the problem, I have a feeling everything will be ok soon. The Tekkie Angels are working on it.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 6 | I havent censored any of your posts or anyone elses recently. With the new server upgrades there have been some issues with some posts that are done using copy/paste not appearing (or they will come up blank). This is the first Ive heard of posts that had been shown on the forum disappearing. I will pass this along to Chester. Thanks for letting us know.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 6 | As far as the server updating...thats an easy fix you can take care of yourself. Go into the My Stuff section and on the drop down menu click on Edit Preferences. Scroll down and change the time to add another hour to whatever you have set up with + or - in the time section.
The missing text in posts is due to the new server upgrade incompatibility with "ghost" text when doing copy/paste. It will pick up unseen text that is hiding behind what you copy. Plus when posting you should have it post as HTML instead of UBBCode.
Sorry for anyone being inconvenienced in any way.

Also, I do not have the option when posting a new message to select the HTML option - only option I see is "using UBBCode".

Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 4,912 Likes: 52 | This is an issue of how old the board software is. The manufacturer is working on an update. When OCF added and upgraded our servers to new hardware/software that is the fastest and best out there, these UBB boards software was incompatible with some of the new server drivers and more. (the single quotation mark / contraction appostorphe causing posts not to appear for example) The UBB people are aware that this is happening to them all over the web not just to us. They have not invested in upgrading their software in years and are paying catch up now. All these issues are because OCF has to be running the best, fastest and most contemporary servers in today's environment. The board software is being upgraded by the manufacturer and they should have a new version soon. This is not OCF editing or deleting your messages.
That being said, we alway "prune the boards" although we have been negligent about it lately as there never seems enough time to do every thing at OCF with the small staff we have. Old messages that are "just hope you get well" kind of things from many years ago, posts that have outdated scientific information in them, those are targets for pruning permanently. There are a quarter of a million posts here that are searchable. If those searches are going to happen quickly and the boards are going to give you pages quickly , the volume of the old posts has to be pruned down with regularity. This is something we have done for years.

Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,606 Likes: 2 | I am a little confused. I am hearing don't use UBB and do use it. I can't change from it.
I can't imagine the labor required to maintain the database, literally one record at a time.
Thanks.
