Bugs Report

[Reboot]

After a several-hour Database Error on Sunday night, just had another one there lasting a few minutes.

[JVS3]

Yep, it happens occasionally when the server is overloaded from all the traffic.
It'll return to normal shortly.

I can't seem to change my Custom User Text. The "Edit Profile" option is not located in the "Settings and Opitions" Heading of the Control Panel. Can anyone help me to change my Custom User Text?

You have to be a member for a certain time limit (12 months???) before you can change it.

[JVS3]

Yep. You have to be here for a year before you can have Custom titles.

What happened to the trader review database?
The link seems to be broken:

Not a bug, but... someone replaced my high quality scans of DCs MOTU monthly comics with low quality scans.

Hi Grimbot,
sorry, I only saw that some pages were missing in the DC comics (e.g. backcover etc.). I didn't check that the existing ones were of better quality

My fault, sorry. I don't have better scans, so maybe you can overwrite mine again with your scans?
Again, I'm very sorry!

Regards,
RED

Not a bug report but the complete opposite:

I have a couple of decent scans of pages 5 & 6 of "The Vengence of Skeletor" and pages 3 & 4 of "Spikor Strikes" Mini comics. They are not great but they are legiable and I know those pages are missing from the .orgs publishing section. The only thing is I don't know how to add stuff and I would like to help. If someone can tell me how here or in a PM and I will try and add them. I have never submitted to the .org proper before but I would lke to help if I can. I also have a few MOTU coloring boks and some goldenbooks that I haven't scanned yet but I could add too if any want's them, I can give a list later.

All you need to know is in the site help section

That'd be great! Here's a link to all the information on how to add content.

page 3 & 4 of "Spikor Strikes" are listed in the changes list for the site and the pages are there but they are for some reason not showing up in the actual article.

The same goes for pages 13 and 14 of "The Warrior Machine", the pages are there in the changes list but are not in the article and I can still find all of the old pages in the comic viewer on the old site.

Old He-man.org pages 13 & 14 of "The Warrior Machine"

Old He-Man.org Pages 3 & 4 of "Spikor Strikes"

Old He-Man.org Pages 5 & 6 of "The Vengence of Skeletor"

Also are you guys going to add Jukka's "Scrolls of Eternia: Spikor's Profile" Video's 1 and 2 on the main home page. You can find them listed at the end of his "The Warrior Machine" Video from last month. Or do you need his permisson before posting that.

Thank you for putting up with me and Thanks for the great website and Forum.

[dorrmann]

Looks like you've got the missing pages fixed.

The main page is News. So if he didn't add them at the time of creation, it's too late. But hopefully he'll do it with future reviews.

[13977]

Any reason the Advanced Search is disabled on the main site as I often use that feature?
Cheers,
Matt.

[JVS3]

The main site search has a bug in it that was pretty bad, so it's disabled and only a Google integrated search works now.

[13977]

Are there any plans to work on the bug and re-enable it or is it more then likely permanently disabled?
The problem with the Google integrated search is you can't filter the results between the main site and the form, it would be more usable if it didn't search the forum at all as if you want to search the forum you can just use the forum search tool

[JVS3]

It's one of the many things on the to-do list.
If more folks donate, we can get there a lot faster.

For some reason there are some pages in the She-Ra minicomics section for two of the comics that refuse to be published. They are well within the .org's picture size limits and are in the editing queue but they refuse to load were "non-signed in" people can see them. They are:

A Fishy Business! Pages 7 and 12

and

A Born Champion pages 7 through 13

They just refuse to show up but are there. Also the controls for adjusting page orders are not working at all for any of the editing queues. I have tried several times in the MOTU Comics section to simply move some of the pages so they are in the right reading order but they refuse to shift, thankfully only a few of the actual comics are grossly out of order.

Thank you and hopefully ths simple set of problems can be resolved.

[JVS3]

Hmmm that's odd. Sorry about that.
At this point, the site may be overhauled again to a better method rather than trying to fix bugs. It is almost 3 years old at this point, believe it or not.

^ ^ Good News I fixed this problem a couple of days ago.

Now we have another problem I found in the POP Minicomics section, except for the cover all the pages in:

Across the Crystal Light Barrier
(I did add a link to the original Old He-Man.org site section for this comic in the related links section)

and the cover and page 1 are correct for this comic but all of the other pages for:

Disappearing Treasures
(I did add a link to the original Old He-Man.org site section for this comic in the related links section)

belong actully to this comic:

A Most Unpleasant Present

which already has these pages. This means we only have the cover to "Across the Crystal Light Barrier" and none of the actual pages, as well as the correct cover and page 1 for "Disappearing Treasures" but also the wrong pages. I hope someone can find the right pages and correct this.

I am trying to help as much as posssible, like the fact that I was the one who added the toy links recently as well as author listing in a bunch of the comics in that section. I hate that we are missing these pages because it means we are missing part of the story.

I hope this can be fixed soon. I know you said it may take a webpage overhaul but this might be something that shouldn't take that drastic of an action.

[JVS3]

Well, if it's a coding issue in the feature, it requires paying the programmers to fix it. There in lies the problem. Any bug is an expense to fix.

Hi griffen112182,
those aren't actual bugs.
Simply, another user added the wrong minicomic pages. Fixing them requires someone replacing the pages with the correct images. That can be done by any user that has the correct scans to upload.
If you have the pages, you can replace them, or you can temporary use those in the old He-Man.org page (save them on you hardisk and then replace them on the site using the instructions on how to add/replace images)
I did the first one to test it, and it all works as it should

Thanks for the heads up!

I guess I should have been clearer. I am sorry, I didn't mean to let you think it was a coding error, I just posted here in this thread because this is were it says to report site errors, whether they be coding errors or just wrong pages. I am sorry for the confusion.

As for copying the pages form the old .org to the new, I have no idea how to do that. But if someone else can fix the problem that know how to do that it would be great. I just wanted to report the mistake and hoped someone could fix it. Thank you for the help though, I appricate it. Besides this is the first time reading these stories and I don't want to miss out because I never saw them as a kid.

This isn't really a bug but there is a trojan embedded in at least one of the forum ads. AVG kicked it up twice as I was surfing and the second time it couldn't remove it. I started getting prompted by fake AV popups. Was a PITA but I got rid of it. I'm blocking scripts from He-Man.org now but I just thought I would let you guys know.
