Guest Adjective Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 dunno where to post this but some threads automatically download some file. it's a file named download with no file extension. happens when i see this thread: http://forum.watmm.com/topic/56769-the-hobbit-loses-guillermo-del-toro/?st=725 this happened to me as well with another thread, it stopped eventually, but that's not very comforting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 There's a lot of factors that can cause that - not all of them forum/site related... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sprigg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Got that a lot today actually, had to use my phone to browse watmm instead of my computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azatoth Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 has the Jump To Page X button problem been fixed? I still can't use that button at all, takes me to page 1 everytime I noticed this problem the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J3FF3R00 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 when browsing topics on tapatalk, you can't see the names of people who are being quoted. The texted is just indented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't use that button at all, takes me to page 1 everytime Not yet - waiting for the patch, which they are taking their time with, unlike the last patch, that introduced most of these bugs... when browsing topics on tapatalk, you can't see the names of people who are being quoted. The texted is just indented. Probably a Tapatalk issue, or a combination thereof. The forum patch plus a Tapatalk update will probably resolve both, hopefully.

Guest Aserinsky Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Quick question, would it be possible to purchase subscriptions for other members as gifts? Just thought it'd be an idea that'd allow a goodwill gesture to members that contribute here whilst helping the funding of WATMM out with the funding issues.

Sure - you could make a donation, and in the notes put that you'd like a subscription for a particular user. I can't enter the site most of the time by clicking the link on the front page. I'm assuming you mean the main site, http://watmm.com - you are clicking on the text (the only text), right? What browser are you using out of curiosity?

keltoi Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 i can't sign in from the front page (not sure if that's what you're discussing)... i have to open a subforum, then sign in... using chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean you can't sign in from the main forum index, but CAN sign in when you're in a subforum? What happens on the forum index when you click "sign in"? do you get a modal window to enter your username and password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratters Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I had something like that at work. Sign in did nothing the first time I came to forum.watmm.com. I found one refresh sorts it out. Actually it happens every time. That's on Chrome too btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just pulled up the main page and I click on the text and nothing happens. I think it might just be on my end though. I'm going to do a reformat, because I've got weird things happening. Shockwave player is crashing, Pandora isn't working correctly, and some weird plugin installed itself on my browser that I can't seem to get rid of completely.

Joyrex Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Very odd - by the way, the patch came out yesterday, so I upgraded the forum - hopefully a few if not all of the bugs are finally cleared up. In other depressing news, I found out that the VigLink integration they added a few versions ago broke my VigLink account and I haven't been getting revenue for VigLinks for all of December and most of January. I fixed it last night. FML. VigLinks is the revenue generator we use here to help offset hosting costs by monetizing click through on related links - better than putting ads on the site, and totally transparent to the users.

mcbpete Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Do any music sites (eg Bleep, Boomkat, Norman Records, and whatever the big non-UK ones are) allow affiliate click-throughs ? Obviously this being such a big music site I would've thought the New-Release subforum could make some money for this place if we had links to buy the release using this place as an affiliate.
