hmmmm !

Those two posts were done as an Owlet; could post, log out, log in, post again. Cannot replicate edd's problems.

I have now deleted temporary user Griff, which is why Griff now appears as a guest.

[Opsa]

Edd, Nef, Earthling, ahoy! Sorry you're having problems boarding, edd. We'll figure it out one way or the other. Many thanks to Griffin's efforts.

Message for Edd..... maybe worth seeing what happens if you log in directly to the forum by using address http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum/

Edd  doesn't wish to clutter up the chat box , so he asked me to pass on the following .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay , I've deleted all cookies , I'm allowing pop-ups from this site , and I've tried setting the security level to 'low' . Anything else I can try ?
I was able to make one post before I was kicked out during my initial registration . What did I do ?

Thread visibility seems to be random - I can read all of I'm Here Now today , but couldn't see anything but the most recent page at one time .
In Start Here I can read I'm Here Now , Forum Rules , How We Came To Honor but I Have Arrived is white space , unless I log out .

In Current Events: ' New Yorker ' - no , ' Dooo Eeet ' - yes .

Spirituality : Christmas Music - yes ,
Catholic Dogs , Atheist Adverts , Are We Born Believing In God - no .

Do you want me to try other areas ?

I'm at work at the moment so I don't want to mess with the security settings too much , but I seem to be having the same kind of problems at home .
I'll try any suggestions you might make on my personal computer when I get home .

Thanks,
    -edd

Hmmmmm , same problem with home and work computers eh?
That bit of info could narrow down the problem .

BC, this just doesn't make any sense. I cannot reproduce the problem and no one else has ever reported it. His user account looks no different to anyone other "Owlet".

Can you ask Edd to see what happens if he does this:

1) ensure logged out of the monastery
2) go to http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum/
3) login

See if this makes a difference - let me know.

(I am assuming he has been logging in at http://toadfishmonastery.com/ rather than http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum/ and I'd like to check it is not a problem with the "bridge" between the two).

NB.. .........One thing I have noticed is that the topics Edd can see are 2008 and the ones he can't are 2009. But I can't see how that would be relevant so wonder if it is just chance.

[edd]

It worked!

This link did the trick.

Thanks, Griffin, BC, et al.

Good news, bad news.

Good news: I can see the entire forum from here.
Bad news: I can't see anything else.

Good news: I can still post to let everyone know that I'm stuck.
Bad news: When I just clicked on the 'Reply' button, I got kicked out and had to log back in.

Good news: I feel confident that the issue will be resolved.
Bad news: I have a sinking feeling that this is all the result of something I've done to myself.

Have you done anything to deserve karma?

(just kidding)

[edd]

Okay, I'm back at my work computer and everything seems the same as at home.

I can post a reply to this thread from the link Griffin provided that leads me to the unattached forum, but nothing else... (see chat box for remainder of message)

[Griffin NoName]

Yes, if you login to the forum from http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum/ you won't see the main page, but only the forum.

Incidentally we call this "unwrapped" !!

You should be able to open http://toadfishmonastery.com/ - ie. the main TFM page - in another window. But you won't show up as logged in there if you logged in at http://toadfishmonastery.com/forum unwrapped. You can however login there as well ( - in your case - after logging in "unwrapped"). That shouldn't affect use of the forum provided - in your case - you use the forum in the "unwrapped" window having done the login first there.



This is sort of what we might call a "limitation".  At present don't know why/how/what.

[edd]

Yes, I currently have the main site open in one window and the 'unwrapped' forum open in another. I had to log into each one separately and cannot navigate between the two.

[Griffin NoName]

Glad you at least have a workaround.

Incidentally, I tested with IE 8  (vista business) "wrapped" but could not recreate your problem; it worked ok for me.

[edd]

Okay, I'm at my home computer now and I was still logged in at the main site. I clicked on the Forum link and got this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare template_init() (previously declared in /home/toadfish996/toadfishmonastery.com/forum/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code:32) in /home/toadfish996/toadfishmonastery.com/forum/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 57

I hit the back button and I'm back at the main site but no longer logged in. Then I went to the 'unwrapped' forum link to log in again and make this post.

In a no doubt vain attempt to clear a few things up:  The software for this site is in two parts.  The forum is in one section and the rest of the site in another.  The "rest of the site" part acts like a sort of wrapper and is supposed to seamlessly integrate the forum part with the rest of the site.  Unfortunately this schizophrenic arrangement can be problematic at times for some people, for some people all the time and for others hardly ever at all for rerasons that are not at all apparent - I favour the bad pixies theory, personally.  If you use one of the tabbed browsers, just open the main sait in one tab, and the link Griffin gave to get to the forum.  I usually don't bother with the main site and just log straight into the forum, but you of course are free to do it anyway you like.  The main advantage IMO of the "unwrapped" version of the forum is that it allows the forum to occupy the full screen width which reduces the amount of vertical space consumed, but that is purely a matter of taste. Hope this clears it up a bit.  If not, just blame it on me sampling a bit too much of the product of the Portsmouth Pirate Public School Distillery^TM
