[Arsenal_Gunners]

^^No:|

[shady_inc]

Nah...no problems in editing.everything seems to be working fine at the moment.Might digit have experienced a server breakdown.??

[shantanu]

i guess the forum was backed up to some restore point.. as the users unbanned were automatically banned again

[shantanu]

in the unread message , it is also showing the sent messages as unread and its annoying :-X

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Save and Go advanced buttons are not working for me while editing.

[shantanu]

many options are changed

[Batistabomb]

many options are changed

ok we will wait for it, let's the problem be solved by tomorrow atleast

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Now we can add images to our signatures.Check it in user cp.
Though it is not working at the moment:p

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Also there is a view post option in quoted posts and Add BCC in pms.

[electrokawal]

I hope they restore back the posts..

"Now we can add images to our signatures"

are the new bosses of Digit the reason for all this?

[Cyrus_the_virus]

Yes, when the forum was down today for well over 3hours.. the contact us was pointing to a 9dot9media (or who ever took it over) email address.

Seems like the person who was screwing around with the forum today was a noob.. coz he tried doing something, didn't work as the forum was down for several hours.. then finally restored it from an earlier backup....

I guess who ever did it forget most important rule before you decide to start screwing around.. which is take a backup then and there before you do anything.. that doesn't seem to have happened.. and we've travelled back in time.

Many buttons are not working. Eg: save button while editing.

[x3060]

all of my todays post are gone...:mad:

[Cool G5]

hope it will be restored eventually. I faced a prob in signing & i thought my airtel mobile office was down.

Now everytime i posted quick reply, i get forwarded to advanced reply saying the forum requires u to wait at least 60 seconds to post again.damn

[s18000rpm]

whatever they do, just add features, dont make this forum Flash Heavy. :D

[azzu]

^ but its annoying cmon Admins do something as soon as possible

[goobimama]

Really sad that the admins are giving us any clue as to what is happening...

As for me, I'm getting a double-post warning every time I post...

[Pathik]

They were some updates overdue. We should be thankful that atleast they are doing something.

[Kiran_tech_mania]

I am logging in after a long period and see that my posts can't be edited! Has the forum database got corrupted or it was hacked??

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Really sad that the admins are giving us any clue as to what is happening...
Um.. actually they aren't.
:p

[x3060]

anyways, at least it looks stable right now...:)

[Choto Cheeta]

[fun2sh]

[x3060]

admins , please reply to this thread :-(

[FatBeing]

Here's what the problem was: We were upgrading the forum, and the database went corrupt in the middle. We had to restore the last backup, which was taken at 3 this morning. Anything you've posted since then has been lost forever. Please try to get over it.

[xbonez]

i wish Raaabo owned this forum, not JDM or some other company

I guess I was right http://gigasmilies.googlepages.com/10.gif

[xbonez]

also fix the part where after every post we get a double post warning

[xbonez]

they seem to have fixed the double post warning prob alread...save button still not working

[utsav]

If i am not wrong the latest version of vbulletin is 3.6.8 but they upgraded to 3.6.5 from ver 3.5.4. looks strange.

[shantanu]

cyrus the virus : as far as i can say,thinkdigit forum is not a small site , it has a hige database, the restoration process may take a while and with that, the backup must have been so large that it would be really hard/or might be impossible to take backup manually, many servers dont allow that.. so this might be the reason.. and not many posts would have been corrupted.. its not the matter of post count, its the matter of quality..

[praka123]

so,@shantonu that may be the reason i was getting banned twice :D:D and unbanning twice ;);)

[praka123]

...and by the way,yet they have to fix the edit option,where we can press save or go advanced to work which as of now are not working.also Vbulletine latest version is not used.weird :confused:

[x3060]

it looks ok now :-)

[praka123]

^not OK :( ,yes,u can press "edit" with ur post,but "save" and "go-advanced" option are not working;they are dead although delete option works!

[naveen_reloaded]

May be they transferring all stuff to 9.9 media office...;-)

[Cool G5]

plz mods do the good work asap.

[Sukhdeep Singh]

plz mods do the good work asap.

Mods cannot do anything server side. The Database has been restored to a few hour old copy, get over it guys :)

Regarding the vBulletin script, i am sure, someone must be getting intouch with JelSoft vBulletin Team

[praka123]

the edit post > "save" option is not working :( this sucks!hope fixed soon.

[Vishal Gupta]

If anyone is facing problem in saving edited post and can't edit his post, then do as following:

1. Refresh the page containing your post and wait until your post is shown which you want to edit.
2. Click on "Edit" button as soon as your post is displayed. It'll not open quick edit box, instead it'll open the full edit page and then you can edit your post without any problem.

Tested by me and working. :D

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Lol Nice trick:D
Still it(and 2-3 more issues) needs to be fixed

[Garbage]

Double posting problem is still there... :(

[The Conqueror]

Also when we log in, PROCEED button is missing... :(

why you guys just keep on rhiming :D, moderation, there are many options which are currently not working or are changed so, its a bit tough to get natural with some new controls and panels.. as the upgradtion was going on there was no report for the porn thread which is now deleted..

and yeah spams , this is a problem : in a day almost 15 threads are deleted by me only and i guess the same count is for others too.. so the left two or three are the ones which are leftovers by mistake, which you guys are talking about, report them and we take action.. :)

sorry to quote urs shantanu...

no report on porn threads ??????

really u need that upgradation quick...

15 thread sdeleted by u only ... yeah coz u r the one who showed up ... thats why u deleted so much....
is it time we need some more mods.. ???

and wht kinda upgradation ??
version change ???
just curiuos

[shantanu]

as all know, the version change & yeah mehul, sourabh and even admins are online , so they too do the work more than me... we have about 15 mods and 4 admins, so there is no need for more. after that this is not only version change, changing version has made a lot of upgradation and good changes, but it takes time to settle down, so for some time the report system was not working..

its nothing so serious that you guys are making it..

[Krazy_About_Technology]

and i thought Safari is having another compatibility problem onWindows :-D :-D :-D

[nvidia]

Every time i type something and press "Post quick reply", the "please wait for 60seconds" page opens. When i goto new posts i can see that my post is there.. :mad:

[Third Eye]

Logout and search. :|

[shantanu]

x3060, why you need mods so much man , what is the problem,, you are acting as if you are admin. not to forget we do this job as a passion or help, not a paid job, i dont see any threads lying anywhere to be moderated..

you are just making a issue here.. without a reason..

and we all come online at times which suit us.. after this no more explanation to your BS..

mail the admins if you have such big problems , dont just post around anything so offensive which does not have a base.. speak something meaningfull..

and this work of upgradation is not done by MODS.. remember that...

[x3060]

chill mate :-). . no need to flame , just that earlier when i used to log in i used to see at least 2 mods here . since you said there were 15. i said , there number is not showing up . thats all . i know we are not getting paid for mods . and am not getting paid for writing here either na :-). we are a happy community here .i was not blaming you, so dont take it as an offence. i have no plans to become admin :-D

[praka123]

it is a fact that many of the moderator members left the forum JFYI ;) and only 4 mods+2 admin mods(rarely) to be precise are active :D no offense intended to any MODs.

[x3060]

that was what i was trying to tell him :-(. he took it bad :-(

[Arsenal_Gunners]

Logout and search. :|
If this sh1t becomes active after logging out then I won't:p

Btw. The Edit problem is fixed now,we can't quick edit though.

[praka123]

OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhHH!:x :x :x I am fed up with this "starweb123" spammer,he is spamming all online members now :x idiot!.MODS PLEASE BAN "IT".save us!

[NucleusKore]

I too just got a message from him :(

[Arsenal_Gunners]

You guys should just pm the mods about that.

[praka123]

err..where are the mods now ? :D I hope some other option so that these spam PMing members can be reported from their profile itself

[shantanu]
