Shannon Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I really hope you plan on getting the search function fixed.. it's slow and completely erratic. I received numerous "community not available" screens when trying to do various searches in the 5200 forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received numerous "community not available" screens when trying to do various searches in the 5200 forum. Trust me, I don't like it either. When I get back from Portland, I will work on this again, as well as other things. The search engine is used for many things and it drives me nuts that it's slow and/or times out. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are bots and/or humans trying to hack forum accounts, which, if successful, will then be used try to scam users on the forum. This happened recently with another user (AtariLeaf) -- they hacked his account (he had a fairly simple password) and they made two "For Sale" posts that looked legitimate. They then waited until members responded to their ads, at which point they try to get them to pay for the item using shady methods. Fortunately, nobody got taken in by this attempt, since AtariLeaf let me know fairly quickly that his account was hacked. If you have a weak password, I STRONGLY IMPLORE YOU to change it to something long and random, and do not use the same password on multiple websites. You can also enable Two-Factor Authentication with the forum, which will generally stop these hackers in their tracks. Having said that, unless your password is very simple (like a single word, or something that can easily be guessed based on your username or posting history), it would take hackers quite some time to hack an account. After three failed attempts, accounts are locked for an hour.

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 On 8/21/2022 at 4:15 PM, ZeroPage Homebrew said: @Albert When I download some attached files from the forum the file name changes from what is posted on the forum. Here's an example of one. When I try to download the attached file it seems to add a bunch of numbers to the front of the file and removes all spaces from the name. The same thing happens if I use Firefox, Opera or Edge and results in the same file name. Original Name: Atari 8-bit Betas.zip Downloaded Name: 1972298830_Atari8-bitBetas.zip I'd estimate it's about 1 in 20 that do this, let me know if you need any more examples and I'll keep my eyes open. I haven't seen anyone else post about this so I was hesitant to post this issue as I though it might just be me. - James @Albert Some further information on the forum changing filenames, if someone hasn't posted it already. I've noticed that the forum will add additional numbers and underscores if there are spaces in the filename. If there are no spaces in the filename it seems to keep the name as it was uploaded. I've also noticed that the forum will add numbers and letters to the end of files that only have a single letter after the period in the name whether or not it has spaces. Here are some test files below so you can see the phenomenon. - James nospaces.bin spaces in name.bin single letter extension.a nospacessingleletterextension.a 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Stephen Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Is there no longer a way to view the attachments of a particular post? It's very inconvenient on the 75 page posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very inconvenient on the 75 page posts. That functionality will be back soon. It's a third-party plugin that I need to have validated to make sure it will work with the current version of the software. The forum crash several weeks ago was the result of several plugins that were not compatible with this new version due to the forum moving to PHP 8. While I was able to re-enable most third-party plugins and applications, there are a few I don't have confirmation yet as to whether they are compatible with PHP 8, and no way in hell I'm going to re-enable them until I know this for sure (one way or another). I'll try to have that back sometime next week. ..Al 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Just an update on the duplicate emails. Invision did develop a fix for this, which was temporarily applied to the forums. It was then removed, as it required the forum to be in a "debug" mode, and they cannot leave forums in that state (they only use it when diagnosing issues and testing fixes). However, they have pushed this fix into the next monthly release, so as soon as that's available I will update the forum and the duplicate emails should stop permanently. ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
