Recent Upgrade Problems

[Buster]

Time Zone issues/..pages of them ..must scroll down to get to forum



Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. Please use the date.timezone setting, the TZ environment variable or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/New_York' for 'EDT/-4.0/DST' instead in ..../includes/functions.php on line 5104

Somethings Up, Tom must be working on it.

[MrJohnRoss]

Hope it's not malware or a trojan.

[JTH]

Mine loads fine

Everything is back to normal for me -- using Firefox on a Mac.

Things are not normal when using Safari. This is what I see:



Top half of screen:

Bottom half of screen

i'm flying bare over an open wireless network running android jelly bean with no filters and i don't get any warnings. things look normal from here.

[tsptalk]

The upgrade was completed and the time zone error should be gone. I thought the forum was down before that started but Buster must have been too quick. :)

As for the Safari issue... is that on a mobile device? When I look at the forum using an iTouch / Safari it seems to default to the Apple app so I don't see that. Nnuut just reported the same problem so I'll see what h has to say.

[tsptalk]

I will have the servers rebooted and see if it helps.

I forgot that I have a mini-mac that I can check Safari with.

By the way, I think the servers just completed rebooting. Has that helped with any issues?

Thanks

[tsptalk]

Well the reboot actually made things worse for me. Now I see all the reported issues.

This is going to be a fun Sunday. :sick:

[tsptalk]

A few tweaks and re-uploading some files. It's looking pretty good for me so far. Any issues?

[nnuut]

Lookin' GOOD!!!:D

Using desktop Mac -- Safari & Firefox both working great. Thanks Tom!

All I can see is the political forum warning saying I am about to get booted if I don't clean up my act.

Oh, wait-

Nah, it's working fine now.

Anyone else having problems with the Forum Home page? Starting yesterday it no longer loads any of the posts in the "latest posts" column.

[tsptalk]

Nothing changed in the last couple of days (although we upgraded over the weekend) and it is loading OK for me.

Did anything change on your end? Same PC? New browser? Load any new software? etc.

Any info you can provide will help me research. What browser, operating system (windows, iOS, etc.) mobile, PC, etc. Thanks!

[MrJohnRoss]

Same PC at work running the same IE8 browser. I have no problems on my home PC running FireFox, so it must have something to do with the IE settings.

[tsptalk]

John,
I have not seen any difference when trying this, but some research showed some folks had an issue when they didn't use the full URL and cut off the "www".

So, per some people, "tsptalk.com/mb" may not load those latest posts, but if you go to: "http://www.tsptalk.com/mb" - it worked.

Try a ctrl-F5 to clear your cache first.

Let me know. Thanks.

Actually, I don't type in the address, I've always used my "Favorites" link to go to the comments section (TSP Talk Market Commentary (http://www.tsptalk.com/comments.html)), then click on the forum tab to log in. Once I'm logged in, none of the "latests posts" are showing up.

[tsptalk]

Hmm. OK. So much for my theory.

I will dive deeper to see if there's a setting that may need to be tweaked.

Thanks.

I just reinstalled the program with the latest and greatest version. Hopefully that did something?

[nnuut]

Is that TOP STATS Icon at the top left of the page, click that.

Nothing yet. Here's another new error msg I got in my message bar:

Internet Explorer's Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Filter can help prevent one website from adding script code to another website. XSS Filter watches how websites interact, and when it recognizes a potential attack, it will automatically block script code from running. When this happens, you will see a message in the Information bar letting you know that the webpage was modified to help protect your privacy and security.

[tsptalk]

That helps.

Here is something you can try -if you are allowed to change your browser settings...


How to turn off IE's Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Filter...

From IE's Menu Bar:

Select Tools then select Internet Options.
Click on the Security Tab.
Click on the Custom Level button.
Scroll down until you see "Enable XX Filter" and click next to disable as shown in diagram 1...

Changed the settings, still the same problem. Re-booted IE, but still can't see new posts. It just says "loading..."

Norm, I don't see this on my Forum Home page:

Oooh, I clicked the "Top 20 Stats" button, and got this msg:

URL: GET TSP Talk Forums - Top 5 Stats (http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/misc.php?do=vsastats)

Threat Reason: Identified as a malicious site via network activity logged during malware analysis.

[tsptalk]

OK. I do remember we were getting a bunch of malware warnings that Google had set, but I asked them to reevaluate and it turns out they were "false positives" and the warnings were lifted.

I just checked and it still says:


Malware

Google has not detected any malware on this site.

Perhaps your agency set something during that period?

I just found this post in another forum where they has a similar issue, and they seems to be saying the agency set the warning. ... My computer says this site is infected with spyware/malware (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?2045396-My-computer-says-this-site-is-infected-with-spyware-malware&p=26952320#post26952320)

I think you may have to bring it to someone's attention, but that may not be something you'd be comfortable with. :blink:
