We are now on the new server as of 12:49 26th of January

Looks good from here Trystan! Logged in ok, everything seems to be where it should (aside from avatars). I have just cut and pasted a "thread(PART 2)" comment back to it's intended thread without a problem, great stuff!

Paul

Thanks Paul! yes just trying to work out this avatar issue.

Seems to be quicker too! 

PS - the server time seems to be +1hr when not logged in. 

EDIT - I have also noticed the site is only available to my smartphone via the IP address, even if I "request desktop site" I can only reach your "new IP announcement page" via any homepage links and any navigation from the OEM homepage (reached via IP) results in a 404.  ////Now OK\\\\

Paul

Agree, it's much faster!

I can access the new site via smartphone OK, but I'm 4hrs behind your post, and probably now the new IP has fully propagated.

Paul

Definite improvement in speed!

Great to hear it feels faster, it is running on quite a powerful dedicated machine :) same spec as emoncms.org. Interestingly the server load is 0.05 which is significantly lower than the average load on emoncms.org.

Avatars should now work ok, there was a permissions issue.

Not sure if profile image changing works though.. please list any other issues you see and I will look into them

Hi, I'm not able to post to an on going discussion. /home/forums/general discussion/what i can monitor

I can edit the existing posts but not add a reply.

Update on this, I'm not able to post to any forum topics except this one?

////Above issues sorted\\\\

Also i'm not getting notifications of private messages or reply's to forum comments, this was a problem prior to the server change.

Grant, I can see 9 posts on that topic since mine, starting "Not sure about anything of the other inputs, as I'm not sure how to messure them....", but none are held for moderation. Have you checked your browser cache?

Hi Grant, you should be able to post OK now, I've tweaked your forum account settings & published the posts that you made earlier.
Let me know if you still have problems.

Paul

Trystan - Grant has a point about the lack of notifications, is that something which could be sorted now you have more control of the server environment?

It appears to be back and working. thanks, still a problem with email notifications, but this was a problem prior to the server.

Smartphone access is indeed sorted now.

Comment notifications are now working!! I reset everyone's comment notification settings to off to stop a flurry of unexpected emails. To enable just set the "Notify me when new comments are posted" to either all comments or replies to my comment at the bottom of the post or in your user account settings.

It seems to be working for me, however I'm getting emails about posts where I haven't posted!

My settings are;

• In Settings - Receive comment follow-up notification e-mails: = Replies to my comments

At the bottom of every thread, I see;

• Notify me when new comments are posted (ticked)
• and again - Replies to my comment selected.

Paul

Example email extract below where I haven't posted;

Greetings, Paul Reed.

*Which sketch are you using, and has it been changed?*

I'm running the 3 phase one from here ->

As am I, it would seem that all recent posting are generating notifications, could get messy !

Ah might have missed a step, it should now work ok.

The forum is so quiet it's hard to test! but I just got the email below, again for a topic which I haven't subscribed to or posted in.
The options at the bottom of the thread are unchecked, which suggests that it shouldn't have been sent.

Déjà vu...

I reckon quite a few people have gone away as a consequence of "the troubles". I can't comment as I found the advisory emails more trouble that they were worth. But I recognise that wouldn't be the case for someone with a specific question or a specific interest in one thread.

I got an alert for the test post you made Robert, despite again not subscribing or posting in the thread. I don't think its fixed.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Paul

I have subscribe to two threads that i have commented on (one i started) and I'm not receiving any notifications.

I have not subscribed to any threads, however am receiving many notifications on my email address every hour. I have tried unsubscribe but they still keep coming in. Can anyone held to stop these please.

Many Thanks.

I have not seen a notification at all. I've not marked a thread, and in my account settings I have "Receive content follow-up notification e-mails" unticked and "Receive comment follow-up notification e-mails" set to "No notifications".

Thanks Robert

Just checked my account settings and they are the same as yours but they are still coming in. I seem to be getting a copy of every new message on any topic ??????

Same here Roy, you're not alone!

It will get sorted.

Paul

I am also getting loads of email notifications and I've never been on this site for 2 years. I've UNTICKED notification box but still my inbox is filling with these emails

Hi Paul

I am sure it will get sorted. Thanks for the help..

Roy

Would it not be better to turn off notifications until this is sorted out, a lot of people will be getting p'ed off with multiple emails from oem and may be deleting their accounts in frustration.

Hi, I get also dozens of Notifications. that's not nice. In my Accoutsetting ist "no Notifications" selected.

Very sorry about the comment notifications, i have disabled the module for now.

I'm still receiving them!

Sorry, don't work actually. I get Notification from the following Threads:

CT3 delayed readings? http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10089 (last Mi 28.01.2015 12:45)

New OEM server! http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/10058 (last Mi 28.01.2015 12:45)

Te "Direct unsubscribe link (category)" gets the message "The requested page could not be found."

Good luck for solving this ;-)

Sorry again, I've disabled further modules that may be related, let me know if any more come through.

another test comment, any emails?

No, they seem to be successfully disabled now.

Paul

Ok, I had two modules enabled 'comment notify' and 'subscriptions' which I missed. Comment notify is now on while subscriptions are disabled. Interesting to hear if the comment notifications now work as expected.

Not sure if this is "new server" related or not but I have just linked to this thread

http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/5736 and found the in-line images not being displayed, the links at the bottom of the post seem to work ok though.

Paul

EDIT - Scrap that! it seems they are "dropbox" links so may no longer be available.

2nd EDIT - The dropbox url's suggest the inline images were in fact weekly.png and vis-profile2.png, could the url's be edited to point to the local copy? (sorry this is posted in wrong place I wasn't aware at the time)

Done!

Re last post by Trystan above; can someone post a reply below so I can test notifications.

Thanks

Paul

test post

Thanks Grant - Yes it does work now, and a notification email was received OK.

Paul

Hello Paul Reed, grantwatson has commented on: New OEM server!. You can view

Hi (forum admins/mods),

As you'll no doubt see, I've inadvertently made multiple duplicate posts in the "Hi from New Zealand" thread thinking I was doing something wrong (or the new forum was playing up).

What I didn't notice was, that there was a moderation notice at the top of the screen and this is the reason for multiple and duplicate posts, which makes me wonder if the moderation notice could be more prominent (or I need my eyes checked)?

BTW: if you wouldn't mind approving just the last post and dumping the rest, that would be appreciated.

Cheers

//Done - Paul

Thanks...  I'll try to pay a little more attention next time - I promise :)

No worries, I've also changed your forum account, so hopefully you wont have repeat problems.

Paul

I don't seem to be getting any email notifications of PMs even though the box is ticked in the settings, Infact I don't seem to have a choice. If I clear the tick-box to disable PM notifications the tick reappears when the page is saved. Any ideas, anyone ?

Paul

There are 2 types of notifications, Subscriptions & Comments, and I understand that only 'comments' is currently activated, so I suspect that PM notifications will be lumped in with Subscriptions.

When Trystan activated Subscriptions, for some reason we got emails constantly, so it's been switched off.

It would be good to get both alerts working....

Paul

Darn! The PM notifications would have been very good.
