What on earth has happened to this forum?

[MikeB]

Actually, you're right. I'm in the Community (clearly) and the top menu bar now reads "Inland" again. For one brief moment, all was as it shoudl be!

Fixed for me.

I don't believe you.

maybe its just me, but the breadcrumbs seem to be out one level again. I only notice as its my preferred method of returning to the board overview.

Just for info.

I'm not sure I follow you, If you are browsing Sea and Surf the "Community" link in the bread crumbs should always be clickable. I know that when you reading PMs it isn't so you have to click on Community in the top menu. Is this what you are referring to?

Right now all I see is - Home > Community > >

pretty sure that should be - Home > Community > Sea and Surf ?

Not you as well! I have had a couple of reports of this but I can't find a way to repeat it on my system. What browser and OS are you using?

[Kayaks'N'Beer]

Windows XP SP3 and Chrome 20.0.1132.47 m

[Mark Gawler]

Windows XP SP3

Is that 32bit or 64bit?

[Kayaks'N'Beer]

32bit.

Pretty sure it's serverside, tho, checked the markup and the last bit aint getting sent - anchor tags are there but no text between them.

[Mark Gawler]

I've been looking in to this one, another user sent me the mark up so I can see whats missing, they were seeing it on Chrome XP 64bit. As far as I'm aware it's only been seen on Chrome, but I can't repeat it. I am using Chrome 20.0.1132.57 m on XP SP3 32bit, which is pretty close to what yo are using.

It dose look server side, but since I can't repeat it it is a tad difficult to debug. It may be a cache issue, I do use a php accelerator so I will adjust some stuff.

Same problem as Kayaks and Beer reports... for what its worth my OS is Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 Lt(which is 32bit) and I am using Mozilla Firefox 13.0.1 which is built specifically for the Ubuntu repository. As you can imagine I am used to seeing things differently to the rest of the world. I first noticed it earlier in the week but thought I'd give it a few days to sort itself out :)

Not a major hassle, but I just thought I would raise it....

You have a similar setup to my home laptop, except I use the 64bit build (I think), It's extremely useful to know it is happening on Firefox as well. Thanks for the feedback.

somebody is on the right track, breadcrumbs for this thread now are....

You are here: Home Community f4 t87019

:D

[Mark Gawler]

Yes I'm doing some live debugging as I cant see it on my system!

[Mark Gawler]

OK, I can't quite see why its happening but I do know that the people who are seeing it have managed to get logged out of the Joomla part of the sight whilst remaining logged in to the phpBB form. The magic that keeps you two login sessions in sync should be invisible to you, but something is broken :-(

Can someone who is seeing this problem (and now seeing numeric breadcrumbs), try following:

• log out of the forum.
• log back in on the front page of the site i.e. http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk
• Report back, tell me:
  
  1. If you could log in on the front page
  2. If it fixed the breadcrumbs.

Thankyou!

Yes to both! well done you. I never log in via the main page I only ever come here via a bookmark to the sea and surf index and my login is remembered for me. My credentials were autofilled on the Joomla page, so something is passing the token.
Sorry it took me a few hours to get back to you on this too, I now how frustrating it can be, fixing a problem you can't see.

Mark

[Mark Gawler]

Thanks for getting back to me, it's nice to know I am on the correct track.

As always the solution to the problem is some variant of "Have you tried switching it off and on again?"

That fixed the breadcrumb issue for me as well.

I am working to stop this issue reoccurring. I have put some code in that flags up in the server logs when it occurs, from this I know quite a lot of people have been silently suffering.

To help me track down the root cause I need to know how you use the site with respect to logging in and the "remember me"/" Log me on automatically each visit" option.

1. Do you enter the sight on the front page http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk or go straight to the forum http://www.ukriversguidebook.co.uk/forum (or one of the sub forums)?
2. Do you login each time you visit or have you used the "remember me"/" Log me on automatically each visit" option?
3. Do you save your password in your web browser?
4. Do you normally only visit the forum and ignore the rest of the site?

I think that if you go to the front page and back to the forum it will fix the breadcrumbs without the need to log out and log back in, can someone confirm this for me?

Thank for your help

[David Reekie]

Mark,

I'm seeing the problem (although it doesn't bother me!)

I then navigated
-> home
-> community
-> sea and surf

and I still see it.

I didn't try clearing browser cache or anything mind you.

cheers

dave.

So it look like the log out is unnecessary.

Thanks for letting me know.

[Mark Gawler]

There is an outside possibility that the Breadcrumb issue is now fixed. Let me know if you still see it.

[Kayaks'N'Beer]

Breadcrumbs are looking good to me, now.

I also noticed my session cookie is working properly now. Was all over the place before I left on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Related issue?
