Hoot Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I can't seem to find a way to change my signature anymore. Help Docs says it should be in My Settings, which I remember. But the option doesn't seem to exist anymore. Maybe all this masturbation has finally taken my eyesight like mom told me it would, but I sure can't find a way to edit my forum signature anymore. I was also getting an error while writing this, telling me my image uploads failed. I tried it on a few other threads to test it out with the same result. After a few minutes, I can now upload the picture above - but the screen shot showing the upload error is again showing it failed. A third issue that I thought I'd note as well is a delayed response from the website. It is intermittent so I can't give you full details to replicate. However what I experience is a delayed response when clicking a forum link and the expected page taking a long time to load. It's enough of an annoyance at times to make me close the browser and not return to the forum for a bit. Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Hi Hoot, Please PM me your signature change and I'll upload it for you. We disabled signature changes because a guy could have just 1 post from a month ago and then change his signature to something that could cause legal issues for LBR but we would never notice it. OTOH if a guy made a rand new post that could cause legal issues we'd notice it in a few hours. So please send me your new signature bro. I will forward the other issues to our tech guys.

Hoot Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Will do PDogg, I feel better just knowing it's no longer there vs. my ineptitude in finding it. It's also an old blackhat SEO spammers trick, lace a few dozen or hundred boards with benign comments that don't get deleted, then go back and add a link to your signature months later when no one is looking. Or so i've heard The image upload issue is strange, I have a few ideas but I'll leave it your guys on the payroll. I got the error message image to finally upload. Doesn't tell you much other than I'm not making it up. In regards to the delayed response, I'm sure it won't mean much to you but it might to your developers. I had fiddler (a software tool) open when one incident happened tonight. Seems the response is sent to your servers, but it took 65 secs before a response was returned. I didn't see any error messages that I could forward on, just hung up waiting for the server to respond. I'm sure your code monkey's will be able to get it sorted. Cheers Amigo. Hope all is well 1 Quote Link to comment
pdogg Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks for the details Hoot. Will help the tech guys. Btw,it is possible that the BasicUploader might be better or worse than the Advanced Uploader for different individuals. Quote Link to comment
pacman Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 We disabled signature changes......... So that's what is going on! I gave up trying to change my sig a long time ago. It was even starting to annoy me. If I can remember what I was going to change it to I will send you a PM. However what I experience is a delayed response when clicking a forum link and the expected page taking a long time to load. It's enough of an annoyance at times to make me close the browser and not return to the forum for a bit. Same here. I can load three or four or more pages, suddenly they won't load. If I leave the page open it will load eventually. Sometimes I let them, most times I just close the forum. I know other BMs experience the same thing. Plus Hoot. He's the first to complain about it so hats off to him... Quote Link to comment
locutus Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This is the slowest forum I know even tho I dont post much but just moving around the pages is one reason why I dont so I give up. Disabling signatures is just irritating and the excuse is a bit lame as no other forum does that . Whenever I come to the forum it sometimes gives me a 404 error and so I refresh and it goes away so maybe its timed out. Is just as well its a free forum or Id be more than a bit peed off.

stoolpusher Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I do have the same problem on this site, But it doesn't bother me When I have time to drowse these pages I have time to wait a bit. My life is way to short for this shit to be a hassle.....I can wait. Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I do not understand the problem. I have absolutely no problem with the downloading speed on this forum. However, perhaps I am slow in a general sense and any speed for me at my age is exhilarating. Quote Link to comment
Kahuna Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't know where to start...I can hardly get on your site using IE...I gotta go through some real gymnastics to get on your site and then it is a crap shot whether I can open a thread...sometimes yes...sometimes no...and it absolutely will not allow me to use the quote function when I post a reply or comments or just some silly shit......If I use Chrome the quote function works and the log in process is a bit simpler, but I still have difficulty opening some threads... Maybe there is a better browser to use...If so please let me know...But I don't have any problems with IE on any other site.......Go figure.... Quote Link to comment
Torurot Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I use FireFox on a VERY slow connection. No problems reading the forum but problems posting that may or not be java script related Quote Link to comment
