Don't get the option to use the drop down box to select time, but can bypass that and "get in."

The rest of the site looks just like mllNY's. No Shoutbox.

Pages don't have updates like "current post."

 Some folks avatars are disabled.  I can see Alyssa, Zero, and TJ' s avatars.

Thanks for the description, Sam.

That brings the count to four people: mllNY, Pyramid, Sam, and another person from the forum facebook page.  The more I read about the problems people have been seeing, it sounds more like the host server changed some programming on their end.  (I think the repair tool would be a promising fix to reset things.  Either that, or alyssa would have to copy her back-up files to the FTP server to replace the "broken" ones, as a ultimate last resort to fix the error, only if nothing else works though.)

Looks like the "Join Date" is also messed up.

My avatar is uploaded to a photo-hosting website, and I just provide the URL on my user profile settings.


Sam, can you re-upload your avatar and see if it fixes that problem?

Tried to delete my avatar, however the Profile page's affected as well. No PC access to browse in the dropdown box.

I did read on that SMF website on the forum Alyssa posted her question on that SMF said the avatars wouldn't load on the free version without special coding?? 

Heck, maybe we all clicked on a bad April Fool's link.  I remember our avatars had to be reloaded after the last design change, IIRC.  I see other folks posting, but I wonder if they're using mobile versions only.

And there was that 1-2 hour loss of SMF server function a few days ago.

I asked the creator of the shoutbox modification if he has ever seen a shout box load with no posts.  He said 'No" 
Since they no longer supply support for their free modifications, i did not drill deeper.
I am considering the paid upgrade.

Sorry, I just replied to the last post asking about the avatar, before I checked the Shoutbox.  Everything's working normally, Alyssa!

I read the SMF owner's remarks on free use and credit going to the owner (someone had asked the owner how to delete the copyright that shows on their forum on the free version! ) The price seems honest, I'm not sure how much support you get for each version.

i wouldn't buy the upgrade to get support. However the pro version has some interesting features.

I happen to like this companies products-  they also made the Like buttons.  They *just work*

super glad to hear the avatars are not causing a problem

Today I am not seeing the Shoutbox on either my desktop iMac or my iPad. I use Chrome on my iMac and Safari on my iPad.

I am also not seeing buttons properly. I see a small rectangle where the button should be, but the button image does not come up. Avatar images are also not showing.

Also, I received a popup for a new PM, and the box didn't tell me what the message was (it was a blank box).

I am just going to wait and see if this fixes itself, given what happened to these others!

N/P! Based on what we saw yesterday, I'm guessing there's not much you can do, and it's the software people doing this. But you can certainly pass along the info to them.

Everything is back to normal now! I had to login again, and it was all fixed when I did. Thanks, Alyssa! It looks like it worked.

Very strange that it affected your account too, since alyssa ran the repair tool last time as well.  @__@;;  I wonder if the host server changed something again after that.

I'm glad everything's fixed now!
