Gathering info for the CC tecchie repair guys-- anyone still having technical issues?

<p>I am asking this so that the cc techhie folks will have more data to address some technical glitches that seem to be occurring, especially with the auto-email notification function. Has anyone else had any continued technical problems since the migration of CC to the new servers a few weeks ago?? </p>

<p>There were a variety of issues with search functions, etc, but many have cleared up. However, some of us are still having problems, such as no longer getting auto email notification when something posts in a thread we’ve posted in. There is a discussion about this issue in the CC community & forum issues section of CC, and the administrators wondered how many posters were still having issues with this. As many folks don’t frequent that thread, I thought I’d ask the question here and pass it along to the admins in the other forum. Are any of you still having any technical issues? If so, what, and when do they occur? Are having any similar issues on any other vBulletin boards too, or is it just here, since the migration and an outage that occurred at that time? Thanks for your help!!</p>

<p>yes, still having notification issues on my subscription threads…</p>

<p>also not getting email notifications on PM’s; I’m only seeing them when I log on…</p>

<p>No big deal, but since you asked…</p>

<p>^ Same. I’m no longer receiving e-mail notification on new private messages, even though the box is checked in my control panel.</p>

4

<p>No email notification on updates to subscribed threads.</p>

5

<p>Testing something WPI</p>

6

<p>When I try to search for “WPI” using the blue bar above and requesting posts, I get this message: Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.
Even though I know WPI has been used in posts (see test above).</p>

<p>The CC search does not work for 3 letters or less-correct?</p>

8

<p>Also no email notification. I thought maybe it was my spam filter. Just had not taken the time to try to figure it out or report it.</p>

9

<p>Same here, no e-mail notifications anymore.</p>

10

<p>On the WPI, small word search: use the … NEW! Google CC search … option.</p>

11

<p>The three letter search using CC’s search function was supposedly corrected <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/community-forum-issues/745568-search-function-2.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/community-forum-issues/745568-search-function-2.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I just tried a variety of the three letter school abbreviations (in quotes) and got the “sorry no matches” message.</p>

<p>So either it was never modified, or has reverted to the old preset.</p>

<p>Thanks, everyone. The admins are keeping us posted of the status of the tech issues in the “community adn forum issues” section. The more info they have about problems posters are having, the better they can identify the problem.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I can’t edit my posts.</p></li>
<li><p>My registration times out if I write more than a couple of sentences so I often lose posts.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I’m afraid to say this…but things are working just fine here. I never DID have email notification of PMs (and I do NOT want it). I had a lot of problems the day of the server transfer (not able to log on, not able to look at second pages of some threads, not able to post replies to PMs) but they all seem to be working fine now.</p>

15

<p>I turned off email notifications so I wouldn’t know if they don’t work. It used to be that when I clicked on my bookmark I’d already be signed in, now I’m not, though it does remember my password at least.</p>

<p>Re: WPI
The powers that be adjusted the search parameters to allow WPI and a few other 3-letter acronyms. Google search does not work as well as CC search because it will only show thread results, not post results.</p>

<p>@silvervestersmom</p>

<p>1) The edit post window is only 15 minutes. This is set in place so members don’t go back and change their posts several times, thereby potentially reducing threads to an incoherent flow of unrelated posts. If you want to edit potentially identifiable information we can offer to help you do so. Simply send us a link to the post in question, along with the revised content, so that we may review it.</p>

<p>2) Your registration time-out problem is most likely a browser issue. Please insure that cookies are enabled, or try using a different browser altogether.</p>

<p>I hope this helps!</p>

<p>@fireflyscout, et al, regarding 3-letter searches</p>

<p>Indeed, the vBulletin setting was modified to allow a minimum search string of 3, though we had noticed last week that 3-letter searches were coming up with no results (after trying several well-known initials). 4-letter searches seem to be operating properly, oddly enough. </p>

<p>I verified that this issue is still in the queue, though I’m trying to push up the priority since it has been out there for a while. Thanks!</p>

<p>Lenitus-
Is there any update on debugging these various issues?? Are these problems specific to cc or are they general vBulletin issues?</p>

20

<p>no email notifications here. </p>

<p>And, what does it take to make signatures visible? I’ve seen 1 or 2 posters with sigs, but that’s it.</p>
