The Hunt For Broken Stuff
The Hunt For Broken Stuff
So, there we are, all the stuff has been transfered from the various servers and hosting companies to one single place with a consistent and easy to maintain structure (for me).
Now I need you:
- please go to all the defence-force related pages/sites/services you have been using, and make sure that everything is working, and if not report what's wrong.
What I'm interested in is:
- Inconsistencies between the .org/.com/.net domains
- Missing pictures
- Dead links
- Missing subdomains
- etc...

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
Here's what I found:
- http://space1999.defence-force.org/ is missing its background.
- http://oric30years.defence-force.org/ as well (I think)
- Actually I think all the (games).defence-force.org are missing their backgrounds - Stormlord, Oricium, etc.
- http://www.defence-force.org/index?page=games Doesn't seem to list any games.
Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
Games are fixed, that was a wrong CSS.
oric30years has always been with the white/red style, so I think it's fine.
The big one if the 'http://www.defence-force.org/index?page=games Doesn't seem to list any games.', it's because I do have both an index.htm and index.php, guess I should have both page in the php file.

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
Wandered quickly here or there in the Oric pages, didn't notice anything wrong. (but I've been using df.org)
Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
And the old site/new site should be working enough.
I decided to go for an horrible kludge -> any attempt at going to defence-force.org/index.HTM will fail on the 404 error page which is now a redirect to the index.PHP page.

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
Another thing I noticed that doesn't seem to be working properly is site cookies .. no matter what I do, I can't get df to remember my login and I have to login every time .. not sure if thats just something that happens on my end or not, but if you can change the cookie name so its unique or different in some way, maybe that'll help. With the frequency of visits, its sort of inconvenient to have to login every time ..
Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
I do have that issue only when switching between org/com/net, when I log on one it stays on.ibisum wrote:Another thing I noticed that doesn't seem to be working properly is site cookies .. no matter what I do, I can't get df to remember my login and I have to login every time .. not sure if thats just something that happens on my end or not, but if you can change the cookie name so its unique or different in some way, maybe that'll help.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
I only ever use .org and I have the issue.
Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
I am now using org and it worked for me...
When I was using net I indeed had to login every time.

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
Do you guys click the links in the notification messages that get sent if you've subscribed to the forum? Because that may be one thing I'm doing differently to you - I have subscribed to the forums so that any time there's a new message I get a mail about it, then I click the link. No matter what I try, I have to re-login every time - it refuses to remember the login details.
Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
It's what I just did:
Could you try something: Login, then force logout, then login again.
I did not have to authenticate again.Hello Dbug,

Re: The Hunt For Broken Stuff
I logged out, then logged back in again. It seems that things work now - i.e. it remembers me when I re-visit after a small pause, but the same problem occurs as previously - when I hit "View Active Posts", nothing shows up (even though for example this thread is active, as is another..)
I don't know what it is - maybe some cookie issue, but I'll keep an eye on it over the next day or so and if I come up with anything I'll let you know. Either way though, things are functional and I would consider the transfer to the new setup smooth and operating. Well done!
