On the archived version of the old forum, I can only see topics that were sticky. Is there any way to see topics that weren't?

I'm pretty sure the reason why only the stickies show up is because the "show topics" setting (at the top of the screen under the subforum heading) is set to "Last Month" by default. If you change it to "Any Date," you'll be able to see any topic created since the beginning of the forum.

The Member Chat gets really glitchy a lot of the time. Sometimes, when you switch channels, it will show half of the first channel and half of the second. So you're like in two places at once...
And it freezes a lot.

Any way to fix this?

I have a feeling that the Member Chat runs on Java?? So, maybe you need to update the Java software on your computer. Just go to the Java website.

Aurora, It's Ajax- I don't know if that has to do with Java or not but I do know that Ithy is far from the only person with these problems. It's extremely common, most members have had some sort of chat issue at somepoint, often frequently.

Last I checked the avatars still weren't uploading, I notified a mod and apparently it had been fixed, but the same problem occured again.

Another note if anyone ever experiences the same channel switching problem that Ithy mentioned above (I know of at least 4 people, including her and myself that this has happenned too) Logging off and back on to the chat should fix it.

*apologizes for double posting, but its been two weeks and I think you'll want to see this*

Today the chat glitched on me again. Its very similar to what we mean when we say it gets scrambled (that is, being half on one channel half on another) except it is slightly different in that it occurs on what like to call "The Non-Existent Channel" which is signified by "---" on the channel menu. Normally us normal users don't have access to it (it has been theorized that this might have something to do with the mod-only channel(s). However occasionally if the chat gets scrambeled or glitches a certain way we will end up half on it half on another channel. This typically occurs upon either a) logging on or b) attempting to access the non-existent channel.

What happenned exactly is this:
I didn't post a while on the chat and it kicked me off (ie just logged me off, it didn't fully shut down), so I proceeded to log back in. However, when I did I realized the chat was glitched and that although I was seeing the conversation in Spare Oom, the channel that was listed was "---". Also the user panel was weird in that my normal menu wasn't up and my username was at the bottom of the list.

I took screenshots to make a comparision. I blurred out the conversation for safety and privacy, and I highlighted the changes I noticed. Because of the large size I made a cropped version. The cropped version shows all the important details I noticed.

A few more things, I'm afrain I can't remember if the menu will be changed when situation b is true (that is when it glitches if a user tries to get on the non-existent channel), the other change is however. Again this is the special circumstances scenario, for the Non-Existent Channel scrambling... Normally it occurs in the fashion that myself and EJ mentioned above, although this is common as well (in fact I believe this has actually happenned to me more frequently). In both situations however the problem is typically fixed by logging off and back on again.

the wierd thing is that when I click on chat, I get logged out of narniaweb and then when I try to just log into chat, it logs me out right away and then I try all over again and it just does the same thing. anything I can do about this?

Today I just happenned upon a new chat glitch...

I had logged out of the forum and the chat, but when I logged back into the chat it took me to the index page instead...

NW has been acting up a lot for me lately. Oftentimes, when I click on something, it will start to load the page and just stop suddenly. So I just see the background, and nothing else. :/

Or all the text will be enormous, and there will be codes everywhere.

And a lot of times everything will be centered in the middle of the page.

And a lot of times everything will be centered in the middle of the page.

What do you mean by that? You can't get a screenshot can you?

The first two problems I've had as well, but I have no clue what causes it.

What I mean is, everyone's text will be in the center of their posts, their sigs will be centered, and (look down) see that Post Reply button? Instead of being off to the left like it is now, it would be in the middle of the page.

I don't have a screenshot I don't think....

~Riella

I've had that happen too, but not since the early days of the new forum. No idea what causes it, though...

Yep that happens to me too... I think it happens when someone purposely centers their post or their sig... then for some reason the code doesn't stop with that post. I don't know if they forget the or if it changes the default or what...

Ithilwen, that's happened to me as well. It only happens rarely. The first time it happened I thought that they layout of the site had been changed, lol.

And a lot of times everything will be centered in the middle of the page.

This used to happen a lot to me, and it was terribly frustrating. I found that (for some reason) the "centred" pages always happened after the same user posted. For me, it was PrincessRosario. Anytime she posted, every post after that was centred until the next page.

Is it "user specific" like that with you as well?

Is it "user specific" like that with you as well?

I'm not sure... it usually happens to me in the Non-Narnian graphics thread.
