Our Forum Moved - And There Are Problems

Administrator

Sometime this morning Nabble moved our forum - as anticipated. But, that has had some unexpected results.

First, I cannot log into the embedded forum with Chrome or Safari. Only Firefox. So I've had to take the redirect out so the email notifications we get don't take us to the embedded forum.

And I'm sure you are asking "What do you mean by the embedded forum?" Here's a brief explanation:

Embedded: The simple way to explain it is if you have a bullnose icon on the browser's tab, that is the embedded forum. And on the embedded forum view you'll also have the menu up above to get to the rest of the website, meaning Bullnose Forum, Documentation, About, etc. And this is the version of the forum I cannot log into via Chrome or Safari. But I can using Firefox.

Direct In: This is when you go directly to the Nabble server w/o going through the website. And in this case you'll have a big N on the tab of the browser. This is the way in that isn't redirected to the website, so you won't have the menu above allowing you to get to the rest of the website. And this works with all browsers I've tried.

The email notifications you get now should take you directly into the forum so everyone should be able to log in. And we'll have to run in this mode until Nabble fixes the problem.

Also, I think some posts got lost in the move. For instance David/1986F150Six sent me an email regarding a post he made and I cannot find it. So check out your posts from last evening until this morning around 5 AM CDT to make sure they "took". If not, please post again.

Well, it has been a trying day. But we may have made progress.

Not only has our forum been moved, but they turned security (https) on, which caused a number of problems. But once I figured that out and made some changes on Weebly, I think everything is now working. And on top of that the top of your browser should no longer say "Not secure!"

So, you tell me. Are you now able to log in with any browser you try? Are you having any problems?

Larry - What do you mean about "no change"? Are you not able to log in via Chrome? If not, which OS?

So, how are you getting in? Firefox?

I'm on Win 10 Pro 64 version 21H1, and my Chrome is Version 92.0.4515.159 (Official Build) (64-bit). And that combo is working fine.

So, what versions are you on?

Re: Our Forum Moved - And There Are Problems

I couldn't log on for a while at work (Chrome, Windows 10) but was able to around 4:00 PM.

I didn't try at home until now and got in with Chrome / Windows 7.

And I guess I'm in the embedded version because I have the bull nose, not the N

Opening threads in a new tab, which pulls them up in the non-embedded form. Funny enough, it already showed me as logged in... which tells me it's a cookie/status issue, not a login issue per se.

I am able to get to the embedded version (logged on) in chrome on Arch Linux x64... but it's an old version since I haven't installed updates in a while.

Bob - Yes, around 4 I was still battling with things. Nabble turned https on w/o telling me, which caused all sorts of problems. When I realized what they'd done and fixed it (embed code and Weebly) things started working - for me. But now we need to know if it works for everyone.

Larry - You shouldn't be able to get directly in to the forum as it is redirected to the embedded version. Are you still able to get in directly?

And you can get in to the embedded version on an old version of Chrome but not a new one?

Ok, thanks!

This is like Catch 22! People that can post tell me what works. People that can't post don't tell me what doesn't work.

Re: Our Forum Moved - And There Are Problems

Once I refreshed the cache, at least on my garage computer (Chrome, Windows 10 Pro x64), it's working correctly. When I get to work, I'll see if my work laptop agrees...

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Gary! This is important in today's world IMO.

Thanks for the explanation about Janey & your brother, I obviously don't read everything....

Chris - I'd planned to add https when we move to the new AWS servers. But I was holding off 'cause I expected it to be a hassle to change certificates in the middle of the move. However, we had no choice as Nabble apparently decided that was the way to solve the log-in problem.

I'd probably have more hair and fewer ulcers had they told me they were doing it instead of letting me catch that one more character, "s", in the the URL. Fortunately I finally did and then worked out what changes that required on my end. And now it appears that everything works.

Oddly enough, I suspect that making that one change would have solved the problem with our TEST forum on the AWS servers and we'd have been off of Nabble's servers a few months ago. That would have mean two less forums to move and less traffic on their servers.

Now we are awaiting Pedro becoming available to help us in September and then maybe we can move.

Might be an issue, or maybe not.
