Everyone who did get a box from my self i did offer everyone support by my forum for the minix but many just didn't bother and the forum has how to keep your box up to date with all the latest apps and it will also show you how to keep your box clean,,,,

Its like anything i can only ask and tell but its up to the customer to join and keep the box up to date.

Hi 

 

No its the db locking at the moment which is causing the issue and one of the plugins caused sat and Sunday issues.

 

all images are now on cdn and indexing messages has completed.

 

indexing is now only running on posts and arrived posts around 20% completed.

 

TD

I had the same issue with one plugin but i can't remember with one... ... it could have been portal too.

If i remember the indexing processes faster than the rest..

I remember the members map created a load of problems...

Amen Brother!!!!   And yesterday/Sunday was especially bad....and it still occurring today but not nearly as bad as yesterday.   

 

And when writing/reply to a personal message after clicking Save I usually just get the Saving....Saving....Saving..spinning wheel many times...and I may even have to close the web page and then go back to it to see if the message posted...."usually" (not always) it did. 

 

A similar thing many times happens when "posting" which causes duplicate posts.

 

All other sites, in Thailand and international, are zipping along as normal on my AIS Fibre 50Mb speed plan.  Yesterday I even tried using a VPN connection to Singapore where Thaivisa.com is hosted....didn't help the slowest/hanging/etc.  

 

 

anything you try to do at your own end will not make it any better and access the forum any quicker as its the firmware working local on the forums server..

Its got nothing to do with your speed or VPN's.. 

It will all be fine ones its done... in a few days....

Anyone how is quoting on old post with photos may or will get mixed up with photo's that have been processed to ones that still need processing.. as some of them at some point in the process will carry the same file names...

Another thing I've noticed over the past week is VERY INCONSISTENT behavior when it comes to:

 

--posting links to prior ThaiVisa threads

--uploading and posting jpg image files

 

Re posting links to prior ThaiVisa threads, I'll copy the current/valid web address for a prior thread and post that into a current thread. About half the time, the system converts that into a nice looking snipped with the headline and first paragraph of text of the prior thread. The other half of the time, it just posts the web link only and does nothing with it.

 

Re uploading and posting jpg image files, I've had a lot of trouble any time I want to upload and include more than 1 jpg file in a post. A good portion of the time, both files will say they've uploaded. But one of the files will show up as blank in the little preview window, while the other will show a mini preview of the image. When I tried to insert the image that shows up with a blank preview, it posts only the weblink for the image, but not the image itself.  I've tried it multiple times, tried reloading the same image, and the problem still occurs. And there's no formatting or file errors or oversized issued with the images involved.

All the above create problems as the database will be working 100% of the time and using 100% of the processing allocated to the server.

Over the past several days, I've been getting regular occurrences where the ThaiVisa site or pages simply won't load for varying periods of time. Every time, I check my internet connection and it's fine, and I can load all other sites normally. But it's like the ThaiVisa servers are down/busy/not responding.

 

And I see RonUK and Thai3 posted above similar issues yesterday, though I haven't seen any answer to their posts as yet here in this thread.

 

Most of the time the page requests will simply timeout and say the server cannot be reached. But the latest was just 5 minutes ago. Popped up the following content on my web browser when I tried to load a page:

 

An error occurred (500 Error)

We're sorry, but a temporary technical error has occurred which means we cannot display this site right now.

You can try again by clicking the button below, or try again later.

Seems as though someone forgot to feed the squirrels.

 

If this is improved, I'm having a hard time seeing it.

 

Thats a DATA BASE error, well not an error but more like an over load...

This is due the data conversion in process, i noticed yesterday it was still processing the database, I don't know how much is left to go but i guess its got a few days left...

It maybe worth admin to remove the search permissions while its in process or maybe close the forum for a few hours at night and let the process run.

If your using a short cut then delete it and create a new one as the indexing is not the same as the old firmware..

sometimes you may get this if your using an old short cut:-

There's also a free plugin which will help mobile users to create threads called "Mobile Create Content"

Works very well on the tablets and mobiles

basically, THAIVISA has now destroyed itself. I have been a member since 2002 (had another handle back then) and now this is the end. what a giant annoying crap this update is. no more TV for me, unless I have to ask an emergency question about something I can not get help from other sources (SHERYL help, for example)

Its not a choice to upgrade and once Thai Visa finds its feet with the new firmware it is very versatile but like many things new in the world of software it needs setting up and that take time to do..

I old software is not supported any more and will grind to a halt then everone will expect the problems to be fixed when they can't until the upgrade is done...

Thanks TD, take your time with the indexing, but I still don't see the "My Content" icon anywhere on the forum screen. Can you point it out if I am missing it?

A Hook needs to be installed which allows the users to see there own content :-

When its installed you will get this as a drop down menu:-

Then on your profile page on the left you will get the following:-

The thread shows as having new content, but being taken to page 1 is hard work. Especially with long threads.

After 3 days the design has grown on me and I am finding it user-friendly.

Yes the new forum software works very well and i'm running it on two forums.

Everyone at first didn't like it but no one likes change but after a few weeks everyone has found there feet again..

@MJCM - custom streams are down to post indexing and message indexing.

You can create a custom stream using admin / menu ..

For everyone to use built into the menu bar as a default :-

As you can see its set as "New Content"

When you click on it and after the page refreshes you can see the path it takes in "Activity"

Now it only shows member new post to that thread or new threads..

Hi @ExpatOilWorker,

 

We have just received a patch from In vision to hopefully speed the indexing up. The content will show after indexing is completed. Just remember there are over 8million posts to index and then index that to the members, it takes a little longer than a next, next, next install.

 

TD

I did the same on a forum in pattaya a few months ago and i had the same problem i guess you set up Cron jobs and and admin is showing endless tasks that don't move...

if you have had the patch just let it run without doing anything in admin i.e. forum and the structure you will just create more tasks to add to the list..

There's a nice took for unread post which works very well and tool box for admin and create your own icons :-

I also need to do a exit and re-entry, i do have a triple entry and I'm in Pattaya.

I have done the following before without any problems, does anyone know if its still possible to do this...?

I'm very close to pattaya klang

This bike is in great condition and has just had a full service.If your interested you can call me on 0800 460 782

Correct 18,000 BTU for 30m2

i've got a place and its 7 x 4 x 2 which is 56 cubic mtrs which works out fine in my place at 13'000 but samsung unit.

its been running for over 12 months and it keeps my place at 18 degrees...

if you go to high on the btu's it just means it takes more power so it will cost you more to run.

the samsung one i've got uses smart saver which turns of the compressor when the gas gets cold and then it will start again.

this cost 15'000 baht from pattaya nua road from second road past city hall and its just on the left.

"so I immediately put a 40k deposit on it with the balance to be paid upon handing over of the green book"

When you viewed the bike did you view the green book?

i opened an account on line with HSBC in the uk and if you have a uk account you can then have a hong kong account by using your uk account..

i did this as i live in the uk and soon im going to be moving to los and working in china and selling in the uk so this works for me..

but you could do something there same to send the money and send it back again

open a HSBC in bkk then open then open one on line in hong kong then send it back you got the paper or see if k bank have branches outside thailand

The bank will not issue the paper you need for small transfers.

i was told i need to transfer 400.000 plus to get the paper from the bank...

i've also been told that you can ask the bank to sent the money somewhere and then sending back into your acount on the same day then you will get the paper at a fee.

i got it for free from k bank as i transferred more than 400'000 so the charge would be for sending it out and back into your account again.

i think if you show all your transfer slips on line or from the desk you should be able to sort it out.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

this is why when you buy a brand new condo off plans the stage payments are set out so you get the paper from the bank.. 400'000 plus

Cheers mate, that is exactly what I am looking for, comes in 3lb test curve which would be perfect!!

Yep its the best idea i had back in the uk....

i was fed up of renting rubbish rods and reals...

i had a good look around and i couldnt find anything i wanted so when i got back i called into my local fishing store called BOB CO

they do on line sales too ..

i wondered about the test curve and if it would be strong enough and its just fine.

i used 20 pound line with it...

funny really when i get the rod out many laugh at it and say thats no good ..... the rod nearly doubles up but its still working fine..

im just ordering some bait here in the uk to take with me on my next trip ... I'm looking at targeting the carp
