Forget that- it has reappeared for me. If it ever went in the first place. Duh. :o
Add my voice to the chorus:

I am getting “Run Time Errors”
Line 12
Code 0
null is null or not an object
Char 22311
I can not access the “thread tools” option on the tool bar.
Any ideas on why this is so.
I’ve got a teeny problem - not sure if it’s related to the switchover, or if it’s specific to me, or I’m just doing something wrong… But when I try to look at my profile (either through clicking on my name here, for instance, or going through the User CP tab), it tells me I don’t have sufficient permission to do that. I doubt there’s actually anything on my profile, but it would be sort of nice to be able to check!
Thanks very much for any help you can give me!
For those reporting issues with board performance: Here’s an update from Jerry. Short version: It’ll be a while before all the kinks are worked out. It’s the only thing he’s working on at the moment.
I just noticed that:
- You can’t get to other people’s profiles any more.
- You can only get to the options in the User CP bar when you’re on the front page of the board and, oddly, when you’re replying to a post. I believe that you can get to User CP itself from everywhere though, although I’ve seen a couple of reports where guests say they can’t get to their own profiles, so this may vary by member status.
I’m using Firefox 3.0.1 for Mac, in case that matters.
Not exactly a forum problem.
My original account that i was a charter member on, TwistofFate, I am unable to recoveer the password to. I recovered the password on monday with the intent of logging back in once the upgrade was done, however the test board doesn’t seem to mail out the password reset to the email address.
I created this account last year for a reason that escapes me now (definitely not sockpuppetry or anything like that, I may have needed to PM someone or reply to something) and I managed to reset the password on this, however I cannot get my original account working.
Can a mod take a look at this for me?

I take it the “search” function is still having problems reacclimatising?
I just got the following error after searching:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/straightdope/boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/search.php on line 1151
Searched three words in quotes, they were 3 letters, 1-letter, and 5-letters in length.
Parameters were in entire post, all forums, any date.
I can’t even open Search. Says a security token is missing.
Edit: works if I right click and Open New Window, though.
I’ve found that the “Forum Tools” and “Search this Forum” drop-downs don’t work everywhere. They only work in ATMB, Comments on Cecil’s columns, and Comments on Staff Reports. In the other forums clicking on the buttons doesn’t bring up anything.
In IE, loading the main GQ forum gives a “Done, but with errors on page” icon in the lower left. Clicking the error icon displays:
Line: 12
Char: 22311
Error: 'null' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/forumdisplay.php?f=13
I am frequently getting just a blank page. Just FYI, not a complaint.
Same here.
Same here.
What’s with all the dipsticks? I was given to understand that the dipstick problem would be remedied. Or is that on the list for attention after stability is achieved?
Apparently the robots.txt for the new site was not present initially (now there is a file http://boardstest.straightdope.com/robots.txt ) so now a search for site:boardstest.straightdope.com in Google returns one thread (and there may be more when the Google index database catches up). It might be a good idea to check that Google search in a few days’ time and, if there are a lot of pages in the Google cache, to take them down from the Google webmaster tools.
There used to be an option to surf the board invisibly. You’d be logged in, but the little dot next to your name was gray, rather then bright green.
I can’t find the option to turn this on - is that feature gone?
Count me in as another one wanting the Quick Reply box back.
Hey, I lost my Charter member tag!
I got the security token warning when attempting a search from the Search dropdown on the main toolbar. But when I tried the same search using “Advanced Search,” it just reloaded the search page (with my search terms still visible). No searchy.
Also still getting timeouts, blank pages, etc. FYI.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/sdmb_images/reader/tsdbanner.gif doesn’t display in my installation of Opera 9.5 (Windows XP).
FYI, some ad blocking plugins and programs block any image with the word “banner” included somewhere in the URL.
