Warning: date() [function.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 5110
Problems began over the weekend with page=2 not working for "new posts" when new posts had more than 1 page of posts. Workaround: add &pp=75 (75 posts per page) to the search.php?searchid=XXX URL which will fit everything on page one. Now the "new posts" page looks like it throws hundreds of warnings while sorting the search results for display. And the sub-forum pages break so early as to give the same blank pages as page=2 of search results.
Hmm -- this doesn't seem like a problem any more. The "reply with quote" and "edit this post" buttons don't seem to work in a timely fashion.
This is less broken than over the weekend. Disturbingly the page-2 button sets the pp= parameter to blank, so it still might have problems.
Ah -- no, testing with a long query shows page=2 now works (but is plagued by the date issue mentioned in the OP).
Thanks for noticing we'll be looking into it. There is a possibility that this is yet another attempted attack on the website, however the attempted method used likely hasn't produced the results the attacker wanted. More details should be available once the problems been dissected. Edit: Apparently Sciforums wasn't the target, however a systems wide upgrade has caused these small bugs, hopefully they'll be easy enough to fix. (The Timezone one just appears to require an addition or edit to the php.ini file, so that should be fixed soon)
Still can't see the new posts because of this nonsense. I can however go to the individual forums and they will open for me so that's my remedy.
I concur from the north. The site seems to be responding as per usual. Thank you to those who took the needed actions to restore our 'virtual playground' to working order. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
