Have no idea how I did this Now I can't open the "Bluetech- lead into gold" thread in General Psytrance. It seems that when someone answers in a thread that has something other than letters and other basic symbols in the title the thread becomes not accessible (the page keeps loading forewer) EDIT: The thread works again now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goa Travellers Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi guys, I feel sad that people refer to such a broad spectrum of electronic music under the "psytrance" umbrella term, ranging from old-school goa trance, all the way to full-on... I mean, when you search for goa trance music, e.g. on Youtube, psy-music.ru or on Spotify, you never know what to expect...It would be like mixing pop rock with hard-rock under one big genre. I like old-school goa trance music and neo-goa, but that's about it...I waste so much time browsing and discarding music online because labelled vaguely or wrongly... On Spotify, there are even playlists labeled as "goa trance", which are actually poor, minimalist, repetitive tunes of no interest to be. Certainly not goa trance music. Regarding the forum, maybe it would be a good idea to divide the top-level section into subgenres? Just thinking at loud...This was the rant of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of us old schoolers, we wouldn't have anyone reading our rants about how bad NeoGoa is etc etc :P:P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspartic Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 How do I add a tag to the topic title text field? I see some topic titles with a red icon and a tag next to it. How do I do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a few months I thought progressive goa was Goa. Until I found Ra and Artha I don't know if we should give them slack for simply referring to the birthplace 'Goa' when they label comps. Or if they use the word 'Goa' to refer to the genre. I still think it could be either. regardless Yellow Sunshine Explosion seems to love the word. Possibly encouraging other people to use the word when they use their music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aspartic Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Only an admin can do that. I also changed my profile name some years ago. But you have to ask one of the admins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of pasting the whole interview text to the forum. Thank you! I deleted that thread ... it contained no content apart from these links anyway so just make a new one if you stil have the text.

I get the following error message, which makes no sense. Since that size restriction makes it impossible to upload any normally sized forum signature. Is there some kind of size limitation implemented globally on the site, due to spam/forum violations before? I've tried pasting url links to various image sharing hosts where I've uploaded the avatar, and also tried to uploading the image directly to the forum to no avail. Error message reads as follows: "Signature Restrictions Please ensure your signature complies with the following restrictions: Maximum of 1 image Images up to 800 x 100 pixels Maximum of 1 URL Maximum of 10 lines Your chosen signature does not meet the guidelines." I missed this earlier. It's now changed to 800x250, 4 URLS and 15 lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think I had it hosted on my old site, so url was dead since long. Either that or the avatars died when you migrated forum servers or updated the forum software? Time to get the creative juices flowing in photoshop! They died when the board updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda looks like it, there's this default weird/abstract wallpaper behind the profile user photo. Perhaps users personal background pictures are disabled by default? Would be cool if it was an option, like facebook has.

We can add them one by one, not sure there are extra "packaged" palettes...seems so though, I see some on WebFlake.

On 5/16/2020 at 3:06 PM, AstralSphinx said: I've noticed what seems to be a bug on the forum, some threads I've started will appear as having 0 views, despite having replies in them Which makes no sense? My guess is that there is somekind of error with the refresh/update between the server-side of things and the forum users? Maybe something to do with the glitches users have experienced with the forum skins? Just some armchair expert speculations here. Those forums were updated countless times in the past and some threads were even on 2 different boards before we moved to IPB (2005). Those threads are known (to me) to have some "issues" of the sort - that are fixable though. Also the very database of this board had a major upgrade 1 month ago too. Side effect ? I'd need to have some example of thread that you noticed is like that, I'd check its age and characteristics and try to fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So far I see 3 issues: 1. every thread made since May 1st has zero views. The views are a column like any other in the database, but I'm not sure there's any caching on them. This is php, so every call is a different runtime. Anyway I upgraded the server and database on April 28th, 2-3 days before. in turn, what's the latest thread with views ? April 29th. Puzzling... The latest thread you started which has views is this one and that was on April 28th..after my upgrade. Even more puzzling. 2. I cannot log in the admin console anymore. I asked other admins if they have the same issue or not 3. I see some friendly-url related errors in the logs, not sure this is a theme issue or anything related to the above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTP Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Hello we had a screwed-up update that went wrong and we needed a bit of luck to get back online ... we were down for a few days ... it is now restored But I am thinking that the admin CP problem micht not have to do with that ... I can still log into the admin cp (was there just now), let's sort this out via PM ...oh and if anything got lost content-wise through the database scripts we had to execute: I can't restore it myself cheers RTP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
