What's Up With The "Redirect"?

[SC Cheesehead]

Problems logging on again this evening.

Kept getting a blank screen with MM.net Redirect2 header.

What's going on? :confused:

Rex,

I have been working with our Server Administrator - Doug, and the redirect was just resolved.

Try again....

:D

Mike.

Edit - Doug did the work, I was testing after he applied changes.

Thanks Doug!

[Papillon]

ME TOO!!! I couldn't access the home page or the "unread posts" link and all the "recent" posts in the forum tab were from a couple days ago.

I'm back up and running now but I have to admit I panicked a bit :eek:

Me too, thought the e.o.t.w.a.w.k.i. came a couple of days late... ;)

[Marauder Rick]

YYEEEESSSSSS!!!! I thought it was just my computer. Dear Computer, I'm sorry for the harsh words i've recently spoken on your behalf. Love, The User.

[SC Cheesehead]

I'm still having ongoing problems when I try to reply to posts, get kicked off about 50% of the time.

[MM03MOK]

Try again...please..... Post here with any issues you may continue to have. Sometimes troubleshooting takes time.

Be patient.

There are conflicts after an upgrade that Doug is trying to sort out.

I ain't going anywhere, just wanted to make to guys aware of it.

(If you want to try and make me leave, you're gonna have to come up with something better than that... ;) ------> :D)

I have to log on with my user name and password every time. Is this the right thread for my issue? This is the only website I have to do this to.

Maybe they're trying to tell you something.... ;)

[RoyLPita]

I had to add "/forums" to get here last night.

[MM03MOK]

Yes, you may need to rebookmark the home page, but that was corrected last night.

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/

or

http://www.mercurymarauder.net/index.php

[silver_2000]

The redirect from last night was a problem for less than 90 minutes. IT was the unfortunate result of trying to fix another problem. It lasted 90 minutes because I took the time to commute 40 miles and get some dinner

Ive disabled all the "modifications" to Vbulletin in the belief that one of them is causing the reply/submit problem

this disabled things like the new posts link and about 10 other features - some visible some not.

Now you all need to test to see if the submit/reply problem still persists - if it doesnt then we will reenable the "modifications" one at a time

[MM03MOK]

As we continue to troubleshoot any issues, please use this thread to update with any reply/refresh problems. That will help us narrow down any culprit plug-in we're using.

[Marauder Rick]

From what I've noticed, the problem only exist on the home page. Also, the disappearance of the "# posts since your last visit" option seems to go hand and hand with the issues. So, I would recommend using any thread bookmarked to access the site and just read from the "todays posts" option. And if you notice while surfing normally that your "# posts since your last visit" option has gone away, don't click the "home" tab because it is going to redirect you. These are the trends that I have noticed.

[MM03MOK]

Good input, Rick. Thanks.

[SC Cheesehead]

No issues so far today, Bunny.

The problem I've been having getting kicked off when trying to post replies hasn't occurred since logging on today.

good troubleshooting ... Lets see if it continues..

the "# posts since your last visit" is one of the mods thats disabled ... If you dont have problems posting when you CANT see that on the upper right then - that backs up my suspicion that one of the mods ( not necessarily that one ) is the culprit

[tbone]

These problems seem to have started ever since the update last weekend, right?

[PonyUP]

I used to have an unread posts link under my username and above private message in the upper right corner, but last night it disappeared. The today's posts link works though, just thought I would throw it out there because the unread posts link is an awesome tool

Brad,

More than likely, that is one of the 'mods' that is currently disabled during troubleshooting. (I don't have that link either)

If there are any further issues experienced, please post them up here.

;)

Mike.

[MM03MOK]

While it may take some time, we will turn on the "modifications" one at a time and see if any bring back the issues. It's really the only way to troubleshoot to find the exact cause.

[LeoVampire]

Thanks for the updates and working on the problems everyone! :bows:

BTW!. Any time I post a response, I have to copy it before I post or it disappears half the time. It goes to page not found and when I hit the back button, my response is gone. At least by copying, I don't have to type it all again. Been happening for two days now on different computers and iPhone with different locations/cities. :beer:

Same here. Just happened again.

I tried posting a response in another thread and here's what I got:

Due to the high volume of complaints received, we are shutting mm.net down until at least Tuesday June 2nd.



























April Fool!

FWIW, I'm still having the same issues as everyone else with the site.

Same here. Was happening all day yesterday but I thought it was my computer. Hasn't happened today thus far. I, personally, haven't had any issues so far since last night.

So now that I jinxed myself, I wanna wish everyone a wonderful Memorial day weekend!!! (being as how I'll probably won't be able to log on until June 2 :shake:...... :rolleyes:...... :D)

[MM03MOK]

I understand there have been issues but I need this thread to detail issues that are happening right now and going forward. That's the only way we'll be able to narrow down the problem. Just like what Rex posted in #28. Thanks, Rexie!

[RacerX]

Ok, testing to see if it happens again right here... Worked... ;)

[RacerX]

iPhone test!


Sent from my iPhone using Casey's sticky...


Edit: Seems to be better at the moment! :) Actually, the website response and page refresh is a lot faster now too. Faster trace to entropy.nloc

[silver_2000]

well seems things are stable ..

Ill turn on a mod..

[MM03MOK]

Tonight, only once in PMing, after I submitted the next page was blank, but the PM did go through.

[rayjay]

I still do not have the number of unread posts in the upper right box.

[MM03MOK]

That's correct, Ray. That's one of the modifications that was disabled to try to figure out what's causing the posting problem. Modifications are "add-ons" to the vBulletin software that customizes the website. We are turning the mods on one at a time to see if the issue reappears.

[rayjay]

Thanks Mary.

[MM2004]

Unread posts should be available now.

Again, we appreciate everyone's patience and feedback while we try and determine root cause.

We will get this resolved as a team effort.

;)

Mike.

[Marauder Rick]

it is available again and everything seems to be A-OK. You guys are awesome. Thank you for tending to the site like resposible admins and getting the problems solved.

[LeoVampire]

Seems to be working great for me thanks for the repairs. :beer:

[Marauder Rick]

I've just noticed something crazy. If i hit the "unread post" tab while on the home screen, it redirects me. However, if i am already in the thread listing or anywhere else other than the home page, everything is fine. I just tested the "unread posts" tab from 7 different locations numerous times and it only failed from the home screen.

[MM03MOK]

Thanks, Rick. Tried the same and the same thing happened. From the home page, using the Unread Posts link, the blank page's url is http://www.mercurymarauder.net/search.php?do=getnew

From another page using the Unread Post link, the URL is http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/search.php?searchid=3766094

[Bigdogjim]

Well just now I tried the unread post and got a web page error?

Then when I posted I got the same error message?

Posted again and it worked?

Thats a problem with the cookies on your PC
Try an new browser or try searching for and deleting MM.net cookies

[MM03MOK]

We have disabled the Home Page to see if issues still occur. Everything else will hopefully work correctly, but please post here if you run into any oddness. TNX

[Bigdogjim]

Just had a error trying to access mm.net for a shortcut? Had to trye in the url to get here?

First click on unread post sent me to a database error page?

Hit back and re-clicked and it worked?

[MM03MOK]

This URL has been disabled: http://www.mercurymarauder.net/index.php

If that's your bookmark, it will come up blank.

Using the Forums page will work fine. http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forums/index.php

[screamn]

Was wondering what was happening? I was able to log in, get notifications, and respond back. Also check out forums.

Only problem is cannot access home page. But the MODS have disabled.

Hope problem will be fixed as I like to see who's logged in which is on the HOME page.

[Bigdogjim]

Yeah thanks Bunny, I can access the forum page but not the home page.

Well in the end I am sure it will be better.

[silver_2000]

added a redirect so that http://www.mercurymarauder.net/index.php

points to http://www.mercurymarauder.net/forum/index.php

[Bigdogjim]

Thanks now my shortcut works :up:

[rayjay]

Ok, that explains why I can not get to the home page. All else seems ok today.

[RacerX]

Ill turn on a mod..
Last time I tried that, I got e-slapped! :D

[jabird56]

I don't know if this part of the MM.NET problem or not; however, 3 separate times this morning I'm looking through the threads and click to go Private Messages. As soon as I click Private Messages I'm logged out of MM.NET and it's asking me to sign in again.

That's a new twist, Jay. Hmm... Do you usually select "remember me" when you log in?

[SC Cheesehead]

guspech750's having issues with the home page, suggested he post up specifics.

Yes I do, but the interest here is that I have never physically decided to logoff.

"Home Page" has been turned off while we address a number of issues there.

OK. If you don't click "remember me" and don't have cookies saved to your computer, the website will automatically log you off after 20 minutes of inactivity.

1. I verified that mercurymarauder.net cookie is stored in my FIREFOX options.
2. I physically logged off and have logged back in with "remember me" checked.

I'll monitor throughout the day.

best thing to do is delete ALL the mercurymarauder cookies

then login with remember me checked

[silver_2000]

ok the home page is back

let mary know if you see any strangeness

[Papillon]

Thank you!!

[PonyUP]

My unread posts link doesn't seem to be working now that the Home page is back up

[silver_2000]

My unread posts link doesn't seem to be working now that the Home page is back up

one of the reasons I hate those entry pages

the unread posts works everywhere EXCEPT for the home page ...

[PonyUP]

Gotcha, good to go now. Thanks

[MM03MOK]

I use "Today's Posts" in the navigation bar and it gives you everything current - what you've read and what you haven't read. I've never used "Unread Posts."

There's also "New Posts" under "Quick Links." Should have the same result as "Unread Posts."

[Bigdogjim]

logged on from the hotel this morning 6/2 all seamed OK!

Thanks

Maybe you should upgrade your 36.6 to a 56k modem for your dial up? :D
Any work being done in your area? You can usually call a provider and they'll let you know if an area is being worked on...

The "unread post" link doesn't work on the home page. It will work on other pages though.

Check your browser settings. You get kicked off if you dont accept the cookie that keeps you logged in. Otherwise you'll have to log in every 20 minutes.

No changes made to the browser settings, might be server issues on this end. If nobody else is having problems then just carry on! ;)
