If anybody finds any bugs in the site or forum, post them here. Things such as themes not looking right like I've forgotten to change the colour of something.
Also report any broken links.
Spelling/grammatical error on forums; says Last Post on Yesterday/Today, rather than Last Post Yesterday/Today. On is only needed for a date part yesterday, as then it is listed as a date (I think).
Good point. But it's hard-coded into the forum so I don't know how to change it.
Oh, well nothing can be done, which is a shame. :P
Another thing. The title of the website is Aliens vs Predator Galaxy, when the banner and anywhere else lists it as Alien vs Predator Galaxy (no s).
Also, the title of the homepage says latest news for AvP2, shouldn't there be a gap between AvP and 2?
Well spotted. I've often thought what the title of the site should be - whether "Aliens" or "Alien". The thing is when I first started the site, it was for AvP2 which was Aliens vs Predator 2. Thus it developed from that. When AvP came along, I sort of changed the banner with Alien vs Predator at the top. It's not strictly meant to be the title of the site in the banner. It's more along the lines of telling people that this is a site dedicated to Alien and to Predator. I don't know. It's too tricky. Most people refer to it as AvPGalaxy so it's avoided. I do think though that Aliens vs Predator sounds better.
Not sure about the AvP2. Some people write it like that while some others don't. I may change it once the official title has been released.
I see, no worries, I was just wondering whether it was an error, or whether it was intentional.
Says here (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/avpmovie.php?section=avpweapons) that there's a Predator Equipment page:
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/filmavpequip.php
But it don't exist!
Thanks. Link now fixed.
Excellent, looking good.
The "More DVD Captures" from the Predator 2 info page http://www.avpgalaxy.net/predatorfilms.php?section=moviepredator2 links to DVD captures from Alien: Resurrection. Woops
Thanks. Corrected it.
The icon next to the General Alien-Predator Discussion section does not turn into the No-new topics or posts version even though there are no new topics or posts . . . at least not with the Giger skin. I don't know about the others.
Hmm, it does for me. It showed the new posts icon, then I clicked the board. Came back to the main forum page and it had the no new posts icon.
But I'll look into it when I get more time.

Might have guessed. It's something FireFox related. I don't know why people use that browser.

I use FF, and I don't have that problem. And firefox is more secure, faster, open-source, etc, etc.
Right, it should be fixed now.
Tks ;)

You could change the site title now... ;)
ALIENS VS PREDATOR
AVP GALAXY
And I can't view pics in the gallery full screen...
Do you have a popup blocker or something?
No, I could do it up until a few days ago...
Hmm, I've not changed anything.
Works fine in IE and FireFox.
I can't view my own art in full screen either...
What browser are you using?
Javascript needs to be enabled too.
I think thats the problem, javascript keeps appearing at the bottom of the screen.
For some reason the picture on the top of the screen will not appear in any theme except for the default theme. It might be my computer but I'd still like to figure out what's wrong.
Are you using any ad-blocking software? Because the file-names are called banner for the other themes so ad-blockers may block them.
I turn off the blockers, but it didn't seem to work.
New Posts No New Posts - have the old icons next to them (at the bottom of the forum).
Yeah, I'll have to update those.
Cool, no worries.
ow much does a dedicated server cost, and how difficult is it to run? Cos its getting damn annoying...
The comments from the Main Page news is getting slammed with Spam stupid statements.
The amount of people here is really causing the pages to f*ck up... :-\
Its says on the trailer its actually Alien vs Predator 2 now.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/downloads.php
Some of those pages (for example AvP and AvP 2 don't link to the pages as provided on the movie page.
Example, movie page downloads - http://www.avpgalaxy.net/avpmovie.php?section=avp2downloads
Downloads page - http://www.avpgalaxy.net/downloads.php?section=avp2movie
I also think all Information pages on the movies should be laid out like the AvP 2 page/url]. (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/avpmovie.php?section=movieavp2)
I think some of the Articles could be linked to under the Other Stuff section, like, and vice versa.
Like the Alien War page isn't on the Articles page, but the Parodies are.
I think the IMAX review could be linked there, among some others.
I found this annoying bug i found. Every time i keep on posting on the fourms it says "Page Not Found The page you are looking for is not here.". It so annoying, the only way i can get on the fourms is to keep on clicking on the fourms button 7 times.
Can someone fix it?
Thanks :)
You mean, you're seeing this page: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website.php?section=pagenotfound
Can't say I've ever encountered that one before. You only see it if you ever go to a page that isn't there. There isn't any broken links on the forum when you're posting.
Ok then, thank you.
Darkness.I was wondering why i cant start posts its the menu isnt there on no matter what computer i am on. Please figure wat is wrong with it.thank you.
Threads are disabled specifically for you because of the pointless threads you made when you first registered.
At any rate, you shouldn't even be allowed on here since you're only 13. You need to be 14 to register.
I dont know if this matters but some of the info on the human weapons from the predator movies is incorrect. J.D.
Like....? Its not helpful when people just give bland statements.
Hi, my friend freak (or The Invisible Hunter) can't log in. I'm wondering if his account was removed, or he was banned, or it's just a problem. Thanks in advance for you help.
Ultimate predator, like lots of little stuff, cycle rates, calibers, and just little things here and there. The hand guns in predator #1 are not talked about. Mac had a desert eagle, Dutch had a 1911. The hand gun descriptions in predator #2 are a little messed up, some 45s are said to be 9mm. AK info is incorrect the caliber of the AKs is 7.62x39, it was listed as 7.62x51r witch no AK was ever chamberd for. maybe in some gun smiths back room but nothing mass produced. I could go on but like I said, I really dont know if it matters. Please let me know if it dose not. Sorry I was not more specific with the 1st post Ultimate Predator. I know that some of the members here at AvP are in the military they would probable know better than me what is wrong. If Im wrong please let me know. J.D.

Okay, firstly, yeah, I disabled his account. He was originally banned when he made those threads but I cleared out a lot of bans recently. Either way, he's not changed since then. If he's not going to write in proper sentences, there's no use him being here. He's also 13. You need to be 14 to register.

Interesting, send me a message with the correct info if you like and I'll change it.

Yes that what i mean. Every time i log out, may name is still shown at the bottom of the page under Users Online bar.
Hmm, well it shouldn't be shown there if you log out. It works fine for me though so I assume it's a problem at your end, maybe your cookies aren't set correctly or you're behind a proxy.

Should have the AvP2 poster.
I was just browsing through the website and on the link below, I'm sure that it's not a teleportation device. When I first seen the light shine on the Ancient Predator, I knew they were shining a 'spot light' on the victor. They did the same for Lex when they were flying off. So to me it was basically implying that it was their time to shine...

I doubt it would suddenly jump by 10 if you only made a few posts. Maybe you read it wrong.
I think your rigth.
On the main page of this site where the news and the info are, everything is messed up like the gallery and info for AVP-R is located in the alien movies section, and the artwork and avplinks is on the AVP section.
My avatar disappeard on it's own, this happened before and it came back. Wha t exactly is happaning?
Imageshack is obviously your problem. It's not as reliable as photobucket.

Well my avatar was a request from Avatar Request so I didn't know what it was made from.
I noticed that when I go to
Who's Online I saw myself and it said I was viewing AVP furoms when I am looking at who's online.
I keep on geting a Service Temporarily Unavailable page everytime i go on the fourms. It said "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later". I doubt it my computer because i restart this moring.
This there a way to fix it?
I have the same problem when clicking on a thread, but that gets fixed when I try again
I have that problem too.
Same here, but I just refresh the forums and they work fine..
php can be a pain in the !!!!! i tend to use a ready made forum when i set up one for a client
I believe that if more and more people join and stay on at the same time, then we might be getting that "page unavilable" thing more often then we do, usually it has happened to me only twice (the release of the Red band trailer, and the five minute intro) the average amount of people i see is 50-70, usually for me the problem occurs at 120+. Just saying that this problem might occure far more times if the average amount of users online will be 120+ rather than 50-70.

Yes, that does happen with quite a bit of sites that I visit daily. The admins have had to go to great lengths to keep the site going strongly.
I just got the message coming into this thread. :-X
My one issue is how all of the buttons and graphics in general outside of the banner seem to turn into broken links as the activity increases. I understand the service issue, but wouldn't it just be slowdown experienced and not the images getting a red x?
I've already explained this before. It's a connections issue. There's 224 guests amd 194 members on the site. It's killing the site. If there was another way around this, I would have done so already. Changing hosts would be a lot more expensive and it would honestly take me weeks to actually move all the files and databases. All I can say is deal with it until after AvPR and by then, the traffic to this place will have gone down.
I'm already having to close the website just so you lot can visit the forum.

Hey who put up the Snowman? Looks good up there. Great touch to the banner!
I did. It's the Christmas banner like I had last year.

That would be cool. In celebration to the anniversary of this site, why not do a quick contest. Winner gets your AVP-R Christmas ornaments.

One of the few threads I rarely visit... (bad Master Chief) Great idea and I'm glad that Colin and Crom are in on it.
I was trying to upload some art, and it said that it was too big, but the size was 1254x1246, and the maximum is 1300x1300, and it's only 384KB.
Max width/height is 1200px.
Oh. Well when you go to upload file, it still says 1300 hight/width.
I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I have been trying to hide my email address, but it refuses to work for me. I check off the 'hide email' box in my profile, then write my password, then hit the change profile at the bottom, and it won't work. Can you someone help please.
Your email address is hidden.
i keep getting a 'servise isnt available' page, even when the site doesnt have many users online
My avatar and signature keep disapearing, even if I recopy the URL, if I leave the site, they are gone again, when I come back. I don't see this happening to anyone else, so there might be something wrong with my computer, I don't know.
Maybe you should choose something a little less horrific then? :P
Some reasson my sig on this site looks a lot smaller and more blurry on this site then on other sites.

I don't think so. That happens to me all the time but a simple refresh or two usually solves it.
I don't know if this is a bug but in the FAQ thread it says;

but I've only ever seen Ravagers with 5 stars ???
There's a major bug on the main News page at the moment. I can't click on any of the options under the banner when I'm on that page, & the following error message shows up:

This is just a suggestion, but when a member becomes a Ravager, why don't you keep the number of stars at 5, but change the color. :) It might be less trouble than having to rework ranks and requirements. :)
Yeah, that's one of the things I was thinking of. But I may drop Ravager and have Praetorian as the highest rank. Maybe include the Runner in the ranks as well.
Sounds good Darkness. If you do that what rank will the Runner be?

I've frequently had to refresh the page several times before the site would load properly. Not sure what's going on there.
Yeah, it's a known problem. Only happens to certain people on certain ISPs. It happened to Sil too so I'm gussing it's some problem with the forum and your Australian ISP.
I changed something here and you shouldn't receive anymore of these errors from now on.
I don't know if this has happened to anyone, but I typed in the address, hit enter and got sent here. (http://dvdstoree.biz/?rid=546210)
You typed in www.avpgalaxy.com instead of www.avpgalaxy.net.
It annoys me they still have that domain after four years. I thought I would get it this year but they renewed it again. :(

Yeah, I removed that one as it's a fan made wallpaper.
We should have a gallery for some fan-made desktops or something.
Not allowed anymore. I've had complaints in the past from artists who found their artwork in other people's fan-made posters, wallpapers etc.
If you didn't create the whole piece from scratch yourself, it won't be allowed in the gallery.

Sorry, I was in the process of upgrading the forum to 1.1.5. Everything should be working now. You might need to refresh.
it changed to normal again ;D
what upgrades did you made?
The upgrade made a lot of changes to the files but it's just small bug-fixes. Nothing major.
I saw this in the Gallery The guy didnt even make it,Its not even that GReat anyway,Delete it =/
Nvm:Deleted Thanks Dark ;)
I hate when people do crap like that. There just too lazy to make there own artwork and chose to steal one ;).
Grrrr fake art makes me mad. Grrr.

Ahem. Anyone?
Does anybody know why my post counter seems to have stoped at 22?
is at 23. any posts on the recreatiopnal area don't coun for te Post Count.
Oh
I can't not deleted my post. Something is wrong with my account!
The delete function has been changed because of abuse. You can only delete your post if it was posted in the last 30 days.
So people have been constantly deleting posts lately?
Just one person and he knows who he is.
What I've also noticed is that some people will delete their posts in a thread when they get into an argument or when they're proven to be in the wrong. To be honest, I think people should only ever delete their post if it's the last post in the thread.
So one person was deleting posts so much the whole site had to pay? Wow he must have been deleting A LOT of posts.
For the moment, yes. If somebody gives me a good reason as to why they'd want to delete a post that was made ages ago, I will consider re-enabling it.
That's a fair enough point. No arguements from me :)

What was wrong? I didn't see anything wrong? Or wasn't I looking properly?
http://globalvr.com/products_ae.html is the new weblink for the arcade game Aliens Extermination
I'm having trouble posting images for a odd reasson. I get a broken link when I try to post the HD pictures of EoE in the picture topic.
Wow, whenever I go to Avatar request thread my dial up connection pop up thing goes into spaz mode.
Darkness, I noticed a couple pages that "do not exist". One of which being your name link on the news. There was one other, I will try to remember which one that is for you. ;)
I was looking on the other pages of the site, (Films) and other pages (2 column layout) and the sidebar is fine, but the right column witht the info was pushed way down.
Might be worth looking into. ;)
A screenshot might be useful ¬_¬
The first one is when the page first loads up:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi659.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fuu312%2Favpspectrum%2Fscreen1.png&hash=9164800659bc420793bc4ce3be66a060339ebe3e)
And.... this one is after scrolling past the sidebar:

I am runnign IE8 aswell as Darkness, so he should know what's wrong. More and likely its an incomplete <div> tag, or placement. But i'll let him hunt it out. ;) It's only on the 2 column pages.
This is because IE sucks. :)
Damn dude IE must have come over and slept with your mom or something :D
IE ftl, Chrome ftw
I'm on IE and the layout is perfectly fine.
It's a weird padding problem. I found it a while ago and thought I had fixed it. Presently, it seems to display fine for me in all versions of IE and Firefox but it used to do that on certain pages. Will look into it more.

It may also be a matter of screen resolution, for example, it's fine on my 1024x1200 screen. I dunno if that's it, but it may be. ;)

Padding? I found that to have somehting with like a 700px width, instead of going: width=700, padding=10, you need: width=690, padding=10, that way the dimensions don't screw up. Might be the problem, who knows.
IE is fine, and IE8 is no different than FireFox, Cetanu has issues with other
kinds of browsers.
Screen Resolution shouldn't matter, most browsers read the pages to fit, or the html tells it to. I knwo for my V2, I have seperate CSS sheets for older browser users, like IE6 and down. It helps display the same content on any browser.
Yeah, chopper predator cannot login. He puts his username and password in and then he gets the message that says: welcome GUEST. please login or sign up. No password or anything was incorrect.
How do i know chopper pred can't log in? he's my roomate.

Not really a bug issue I just didn't want to make a thread for this little question, what font does this site use because my fonts in my browser were messed up but the only AVPG isn't fixed, so which font is it that AVPG uses so I can download a new file.
The site uses standard fonts which everbody has. Arial on the main site and Verdana on the forum. You'd have to show me a screenshot of the error and which page you get it on.

All pages.. :( , 90% is al Bold including what I'm typing now.
Like Darkness said, show him a screenshot. He might be able to help ;)
Here is my problem, It's not the website's fault or anything somehow when uninstalling Left 4 Dead my fonts got all messed up, only AvPG isn't normal.
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi623.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Ftt314%2FAmaR_NL%2F4234.jpg&hash=f53ac574c1aac373907eefc988f9147f82151765)
Yeah, that's very odd. I've not changed anything here and it works fine for me in IE and Firefox. I'd go into your FF settings and look at the Font settings in there.
Yeah! I fixed it, I just copyed the whole Font folder from my other PC to this one and it worked, but it was allot of "Replace this font, click Yes" action. ;D

Hey whats the best way of getting people to add you as a "buddy" or friends as some call it..... I'm new and wanted to know.....
First off this topic is for reporting problems/bugs about the forum and/or website in general, secondly, the way you add someone as a buddy is you click on the small person icon on the lower left of the person's display picture which will bring up their profile. You can also do this by clicking their display name.
Once their profile comes up scroll to 'Current Status' and click [Add To Buddy List].
In the box that I type my reply, etc., if I need to scroll down in it, I type and each time I pause, it sets the scroll bar to the top. I can still continuosly type, but I can't really stop and look at my mistakes and whatnot. Can I get some help with this problem?
I have something strange. On my other account plz i'm not here to explain the other account but on that account to PM i have to verify i'm not a computer but on this account i don't have to do that. I mean it won't make me type letters or ask me for a director of a movie. IS this suppose to like this? Because on this account i don't have to verify anything and idk why? :-\
That's for people who have under five posts. Shows a verification question. It prevents spam bots from registering and sending pms to everybody.
I see. That's pretty clever. :)
Uhm, I don't know if it's just been removed, but when I try to access the 'predator sound pack' from the information page of the predator movie, I get an 'Error 404-not found message'.
i have not found no bugs yet because this website is the best ;)
I am not sure if anyone else was experiencing this, but the main page was running slow, and the forums wouldn't even open for me.
I kept getting error messages.
Seems like it is fixed now.
Yup, we reached the bandwidth limit. Darkness will be adding more details soon I guess.
Oh fun! It's getting to be that time again!
The host disabled the forum last night because of high resource usage. I've had to register with another web host and I'm currently re-uploading everything.
I'm "The Space Sweeper", but the site is telling me that I am a "Space Trucker". I hope this bug will be looked into immediately.

MadassAlex wanted me to post and say that he hasn't been able to view the forums for the past day or so and he's not sure why. I'm not exactly sure what's wrong but I'm pretty sure it's on his end, but I said I'd post about it in case anyone had any ideas.

Man, how many hosts does that make now? :D You should invest in your own Server Darkness, seriously. 8)
Not everyone has the funds to do that, yeah it may be cheap, but sometimes that is too much.
Oh yeah, a good server can run in the thousands of dollars. I'll re-say what I meant. Darkness; if you win the lottery, aside form real life, if you have any left over, you should get a server. (That's AFTER you get the BMW) ;) :D
I don't know if that is sarcasm or not.
I meant to say is, yes, servers are cheap/hosts are cheap. But even cheap can be expensive to some, it's the main reason why I don't have a website myself for my photography and design business.
I am not saying Darkness doesn't have the money, but his money can be going to better or more important things.
No..... some servers are REALLY expenssive. Like I saw one for $3,000.00. Not a host, but like an actuall server for high end database work. So no, no sarchasme. :D

All the AvPG reviews for all the Alien movies lead to a review for The Calm or something. :o
The review for Predator 2 links to a review for this fan film:

There's something wrong with the 'Cool' smiley. It shows up as an Avatar Sized Alien Queen, I've taken a screenshot:

It's like... a crumb of a post, that has broken off from the original post... and wasn't meant to be...
I have no idea.
It breaks the post in half, it's an average, if the days you have been here aren't divisible to the number of posts you have, you get the decimal.
Make sense?

Clicking the word "Information" under Alien 5 leads to the information page for Alien. Not a big problem at all just thought I should point this out.
Fixed. :)
How come you can't view the fourms as a guest? Someone reason I can't and I had to login in to read the threads on the fourm.
On my ps3 my password is saved and it used to be fine but every time I got to the site I have to put in my information it used to automatically go to my profile but it is playing up
I have been logged automatically several times and told vertification failed when trying to post something.
I'm having a slight bug, on the homepage I log in, and it takes me to the forum index. When I go back to the homepage to read news, comment or whatever, I'm logged out. When I log in again, I'm back at the forum index, go back to the homepage, logged out. Any idea what's happening?
There's been some changes which haven't been finished yet. Unfortunately, I've had to remove the site-forum integration like your avatar and stuff on the homepage.
OK, thanks for responding so quickly. :)
I have some problems with Galaxy from some times. It's not a bug, I think... I lost emoticons, and other stuffs (in place where posts and PMs are written), and a few other tools. I can use some emoticons only because I remember how to do them. ;D But quoting, spoiler alert or other things... I don't know how to do it without necessary buttons. :( I changed even layout/theme I used, but it doesn't help. I don't know is it some problem with my laptop? Or maybe I clicked randomly somewhere adn it's the cause of problems...? Nobody else reported about this, if I know correctly. Do you have any ideas, why it could happen? Please...? :)
Can you post a screenshot?
Sure, if I remember how to do it manually...

Your javascript isn't enabled. That's why. If you're running noscript, add the site to your exceptions. If you're not using that plugin, go to options, content, enable javascript in firefox.

Highly doubt that, because if it weren't for the oodles of free time I've had here at uni since September, I definitely wouldn't have made this many posts.

Haha, it's OK Dach. You'll get there. :P
Not exactly. I checked my javascript, everything is correctly. The problem is in my Firefox... In case of IE everything is right, but in case of FF, isn't... Any ideas? :(

The same thing is happening to me, but my Javascript is enabled. I'm also using Firefox.
So we've got this same problem, Purebreed? :( My javascript is enabled too, I checked, updated and all... :( As I said - it happens only in FF, but I don't want to use anything else. On other sites I've got no problems, everything works correctly... Only here, in the most important place...
Yep, same problem. Darkness said earlier he's been updating the website so I'm sure it'll be fixed soon. We shall have faith in the creator! ;D

I never lost my faith in His Majesty.
But I supposed that it's my individual problem.
Knowing that it's not only me makes me not so lonely... ;D Thanks, Purebreed. :)
No problem, remember, you can never be lonely here, you have too many friends. ;D
I don't think the issue is at my end. The buttons appear fine in my firefox. The only way I can reproduce your error is by actively disabling javascript. Do you have any plugins that could interfere with it? Or a firewall or web filter?
I don't have a plug-in called 'Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.170.4' enabled because apparently it is known to cause security or stability issues, could that be the problem? I know most of the emoticon codes and spoiler tags etc. anyway, it's just easier when they're actually visible.
Nothing new, what wasn't be active before. BTW as I mentioned, when I use other website, I have no problem... Rebellion forum works for me without any disorders... :(
Maybe the problem is at my end, but I have no idea how to fix it... :(
I don't know how, but everything has come back.
I can view images inside quotes again, I can insert quotes whilst posting, and all the buttons and smileys have re-appeared. Not sure if it's down to you, Darkness but if it is then thanks! :)
Hmmm... For me - not. Everything doesn't work like yesterday. Nothing changed. :(
That's too bad. :(
I just want to report that my problem suddenly ended. I don't know why, but no matter. :) I'm just happy that everything works correctly now.
So thank you for support and for help. :)
Good to hear, Keylight. Sounds like what happened to me. :)
Uh.. my rank stars just went green for a bit, the same as they would a moderator's. Strange, but nothing serious (I don't think).

When will the gallery be available. Due to traffic it's down? Maybe you need a bigger server ;)
The spoiler tags are broken. I tried to use them and there was just a big blank where they should have gone.
Spoiler
Like this.
I can see it just fine.
May not be a bug but recently the polls started turning blue for me. Also I keep having to refresh the page because of a repeated error.
What's the error?
I forget the name but I occasionally get a large amount of lettering on my screen. It said to contact you but as admin/AVPGalaxy or something like that. I also have connection issues with the site but I think that one is because of my area.

Same here, been trying it all day and nothing.
So it's my birthday today, and the smiling cake that shows next to your age isn't coming up. Instead I'm getting the classic red X on white problem. And I've waited a whole year for that cake.
I am disappoint.
I can see it fine. It's an overhead shot of a square based white marzipan covered sponge cake with a red liqourice cross of St George on it? Talk about ungrateful.

So it's my birthday today, and the smiling cake that shows next to your age isn't coming up. Instead I'm getting the classic red X on white problem. And I've waited a whole year for that cake.
I am disappoint.
Your cake from
Under Siege is on its way.
Happy Birthday. :)
Why thank you very-

Oh hawww...
The Blu-ray sections are not working,
takes me to the page "become a sub"
unless i have to pay 5 pound now to view blu-ray images? tsk tsk lol :D
Don't know if this goes there but I have a question: are warnings simple PMs sent by moderators or are they different functions?
Depends on the warning, some are just notifications. It should be noted on the subject line tho. In general, it's just a penalty system we use to keep track of troublesome members.
Hey guys just something I want to ask, I've posted a Thread which reads Dangerous and Worthy Adverasries/Trohpies which a Predator might face .... well something like that on the Predator Flim's Section. It hasn't shown up. Its nothing political motivated, it reads more like a game. Please respond ASAP.
-Jonny
It probably needs to be approved. :)
Umm. Whenever I try to add someone onto my Ignore list it says 404 page not found.
At least only when i press the button at the bottom of their post. If i manually input their names im fine.
Who do you want to ignore? ;)
And I guess as long as there is one way to do it, it is fine? Obviously it can still be fixed if possible.
*shuffles feet akwardly*
Ummm... Anto. I cant do it on my psp. But yeah one way is good enough.

Another thing. The title of the website is Aliens vs Predator Galaxy, when the banner and anywhere else lists it as Alien vs Predator Galaxy (no s).
Also, the title of the homepage says latest news for AvP2, shouldn't there be a gap between AvP and 2?
It's supposed to be Alien vs Predator without the -s.
And we haven't used that title since Requiem.
The Spellcheck button has seemed to disappear.
Yeah, afraid that's gone permanently now as well. It's not installed on this server.
@fiirstbloodGet google chrome it has one built in ;)
You can download one for firefox too.
So this might just be me, but on the news page it always has me logged out. However, even without logging in, I click the forum button and I'm on my account. Any clue what's up?

Um you could have a mini calender for all things (purchasable) that have yet to be released. For example if we had one now it would be kinda like
Predator neca figures 10th sep (obviously these are made up)
Predator mcfarlane figures 15th sep
Predators DVD/Blu-Ray 29th sep
Predators Triple pack DVD/Blu-Ray 29th sep
Alien Anthology Blu-Ray 26th oct.
Obviously better done just a suggestion.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/release-dates/
We do have a section on the main site that has the release dates on. Albeit they made need updating more frequently.
I Didn't even notice. :P
It's on the main page, right hand side. Somewhere towards the middle. :)
please you guys i havnt been able to acces the site since the update it still says updating site forum back soon for 5 days or so im only able to acces this site at work and phone refreshing etc didnt help, seeing theres more people with this problem please help me out
It's too do with your ISP unfortunately. I can't remember the exact reasoning behind it.
Nothing I can do about it?
i can't upload my artwork, Flash player crashes the web browser(all of them) and the single upload is also giving me trouble. see:

A temp fix is to edit your hosts file (located in windows\system32\drivers\etc\) and add this entry:
173.193.28.52 avpgalaxy.net
You should then be able to access it with that. You'll have to remove it when your ISP has updated its DNS servers.

What, you don't use Firefox? It automatically spell-checks every word. I couldn't survive without it.
You can get a spell check for all browsers.

It's a summer holiday thing, I guess. I've got more lazy stuff to do during the day now than I did at university.
Whenever I go to the homepage I keep getting logged out.
It happens to everyone, as far as darkness said the two pages aren't linked or something similar.
Which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't for whenever I log in I am forced to be in the forums.
thats because there is no longer a logged-in front-page, right?

Even when there was... but that is irrelevant now.
If you click the login button, that will display your profile info.
Anyone other then me has a issue when they try to login? I try to login, and the site will kick me out.
What error do you get?
I get a sign that will say something like that Sever is way too busy, and guest can't view the forums.
I used to get that but I think it is the same problem everyone had with the server being full, so when I did get in I just went on keep me logged in
uhhhhhn, the youtube and spoiler icons are still missing on the toolbar.
^ Same here. You getting a red x in a white box inside of a box or no button at all?
missing picture. buttons' there though.
^ Then we have the same problem.
I just discovered the strangest thing. On a bit of curiosity about what the AVPG review said of Alien 3, I went and clicked on it. It brought me to this (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/fan-films/the-calm/review/). I clicked on some of the other reviews (namely Resurrection and Alien) and they all brought me to that same page.
Any idea what's up?
^ Odd....
I have no clue.
OK, the links are fixed.
This is more likely a problem with tiny pic but my avatar just in the past five minuets has been on a weird slideshow of pictures some obscene, it is weird the url is always the same its just the picture changes every reload, I have removed it for now because there was a bit of a iffy one up there last and thought it's best not to chance it.
Is anyone else having problems finding the reviews in the Literature section? The whole place seems to be empty. :-\

That isn't meant to be a list/directory page, it's just a category and the way Darkness structures the site. The actual reviews can be found on Articles page: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/articles/

Cheers. That worked. Mind you, can't remember who f**ked me off yesterday now. >:(
I keep on getting a Red X when I upload a new avatar.
Because its to big ::)
Is is me or is the site really slow? I find I need to refresh a lot to get the full page. Facebook, Youtube, Alienexperience, and South Park Studios are running lightning fast. But here I am just so slow. If 4 other sites are literally lightning fast but this one so slow then I figure it is a probem with the site, that is my theory anyway, I am no computer expert.
Yeah, it's been running slow most of the day. It was a bullet yesterday though. There may be some behind the scenes work going on though mate. It's very uncommon for it to be like this.
So I guess we just sit and see what happens then.
So, guys. I'm having a really hard time loading the forum, and it's not me. I've scanned repeatedly the computer and even erased some of my data to leave free space and it still doesn't load right. It either loads after a lot of time, loads half of a page, of doesn't load at all. It seems to be working better now but I'm not sure. What I'm asking is if there have been new features inserted recently.
The site running so slow is really pissing me off since I never seen the site run so slow before. Maybe all of the guest viewing the site because of the upcoming Alien prequel? AVPR hype was much bigger, and I never seen the site run so slow back a few years back.
It seems like Darkness is never really on anymore.
Just keep calm guys, this doesn't happen too often.
Nothing to get really upset about.
It's only been happening for the past day, I'm sure something is being worked on.
It took me an hour to get to this thread. Somebody hold me, I'm scared. :-\
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Val0ftJCKhw
Darkness should say something soon since I hate waiting 5 mins to load the front the site.
Works fine for me...
It's starting to get better.
Yeah, seems to be doing ok now. Couldn't get on at all earlier, though.

Most likely just the host/servers guys.
I, too, had a minor panic attack. Glad things are in working order once more.
sup TJ, its hard to find you online nowadays ;)
well this downtime gave me a chance of organizing a "Xeno-Friday". i re-read almost all my comics, watched the movies and if the day had been longer, played the games. but thats why we're having the Game night now :)

this is a really wierd glitch it has happened to me a couple of times already.
When i click on a thread, and yes i clicked on the thread, didn't get mixed up, it will somtimes send me to a completely different thread, most of the time the one above or below.
It could be my computer its old and its dieing. I'm just wondering if anyone is having this problem?
PS: another bug, the window by my avi at the top of the screen is blue.
Unless its just me, when I am typing up a post all the different smilies seemed to have disappeared.
EDIT: They've re-appeared.
Is it just me or has the forum been loading really slow for the last six hours or so?
Its happening to me as well.
I expect it's probably something to do with Darkness setting up the new AvP Galaxy News section guys. Nothing to worry about.
Mine, and other people's that I've checked have their recent posts on the "Show Posts" selection all out of whack. A couple of mine are correct, and then it shows a series of posts I wrote from 2009. Extremely distressing, it's like waking up and seeing my finger paintings from kindergarten in my art portfolio.
its the old threads being moved, which marks them as updated.
...i think.
It's the new news, :P, section. Since they have only just been added as topics they are now in your post sections. I don't know why the show post sections hasn't been sorted chronologically, or it has and news posts and non news post aren't differentiated on the internet server, or some computer shit like that.
huh the alien theme is bugged, i got a blue blackground around my name (and links) and my avi as well as the news window and statistics.
Its not a problem just a little annoying.

Thanks for the report. I don't know how that slipped past me. IE users were affected.
No problem Darkness I know how sneaky those bugs can be.
Starting today for some reason every time I am posting a reply (like now) the "Note: this post will not display until it's been approved by a moderator." text appears above and whatnot. I have not received any messages from the mods or admins about this, I looked at the rules and didn't see anything, I tried a variety of forums, so I have to wonder if this is a bug or glitch or not? ??? Does anyone else have this problem?
Nothing to worry about. It's to stop people registering to spam & troll.
About that, I am on another forum, and it takes like 3 days for that to happen. The moderators are on regularly so how does stuff like that work? and once you have established they are not a troll can't you just remove it?
There's a post count trigger that removes that.
But isn't one or two enough?
Don't get me wrong I am not moaning or bitching, but I thought that would be enough. Obviously there is probably more to it than that but the I have currently made 20+ quality post and none have been verified yet : (
Lazy Moderators.
Wait or ignore the forum.
The site is amazing, and as much as I am annoyed I doubt it's the moderaters fault. They seem real nice, but how does the system work, is it like when you block someone there messages are hidden so the mod has to be in the thread to know it needs verification or is it like a pm system?
If it's not the site staff's fault, then I don't know what to say.
We can't go further on this without specifying what kind of site this is - so we could acknowledge the system it uses, perhaps. Does it use Invision power boards? Or what?
The system is in place to stop spamming. Remember when Predators came out and people from IMDB completely spammed our Predators board? We had to introduce post approval because of that. Lately, we've had one guy on here registering and spamming with 20+ posts before someone is online to ban him.
Post approval affects people who have under 50 posts. It was previously 5 posts but we had to increase it this week. At least for the time being. Mods are on frequently so it doesn't take very long to get your post approved if you're in this group.
I remember the IMDB spammers. I think they attack the site because Hicks said that the movie was better then Predator 2.
And I still stand by it. :)
Is it on purpose that if you click on Administrator on online people it says an error page
"Error this members group does not exist or is invalid"
Cuz I just clicked on it cuz it was gold :D

You post in the Recreational Area? If you did, those posts don't count.
It'll be the Rec thread posts like GR said.
I haven't been able to access the forum or any other part of the site except front page. an "Error 403" screen blocks me.
i looked into it further and it told me the server's security system has my(one of the) IP addresses i use blocked for security reasons. how did this happen?
The forum looks up all ip addresses from guests and checks if they're spam bots. If your IP is in the list, it gives you a 403 error. Members who are logged in aren't affected by this. If you give me the IP address you were using, and the technical support key on the error page, I can find out why you were blocked. It possibly has something to do with where you're from.
okay. i will check again this afternoon. i'm not sure if the Wi-Fi on my grandmother's hous has a floating IP, if i can't access again then i'll let you know.
EDIT: all working now. guess it was an ISP issue.
I have this same problem now... It appeared suddenly, I don't know why...
My dates:
physical address:
00-1E-65-D0-BB-08
IPv6:
FE80::88BF: BC05:F7F8:24%11
router IP:
192.168.1.1.
technical support key is: 59ba-1b21-2b02-1b1f
Please, help me... :(
EDIT: It seems that my problem is fixed. Thank you very much. :)
Don't know about anyone else, but the site's been loading really slowly for me for the best part of a week now. I figured it was something temporary, but it doesn't look that way anymore. And other sites load up just fine.
Any ideas? :(
I haven't had any problems this week. It's loading quite fast.
It's loading perfectly fine for me as well.
Well, except for the few times each day when it doesn't load at all and I have to wait a minute and try again. But that has been happening for years.
Then I guess it's just me. I'll try and figure it out.
When I log in on the forum page, I can't help but notice that the type-in boxes are all scrunched to the left. Why's that? It used to be on the right.
Good question I'm curious too
Just a small question, all the banned users don't appear banned to me anymore. Does this appear to everyone or is it just a problem of my pc?
No, it was removed after this guy complained: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=38712.0 (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=38712.0)
He made a good point. It doesn't look good. You can still check if they're banned by going to their profile page though.

No particular reason, just was changed in the upgrade to SMF 2.0. I guess it looks more symmetrical on the left.
Quick question: had anyone problems this morning with coming into Galaxy? I had it for few hours... Any clue, why?
They were rebooting the servers for some reason. Took a few hours.
Thank you. So it wasn't my fault, it's the most important. :)

Same here. It took me 10 minutes just to log in.
We've had a lot of traffic lately so that's probably why. The server should be fine again soon.
It's already working better actually. :)
Not a real bug, but I'd like to request a feature.
Could you add a "reviews" page to http://www.avpgalaxy.net/literature/ (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/literature/) ?
Technically it already exists, or at least should:
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/literature (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/literature)/reviews/predator-omnibus-volume-4/

Yea, I've been trying to post in several places and I get "database error".
Occasionally, when on the main page & i click to the forum it will simply refresh the main page. I don't know why, & it's not every time, but it's happened on several occasions.
I know it's not really a bug, and I don't really want to start a thread for it.
But what happened to the Twitter username being shown in the profile? :(
Sometimes if I wait too long, I can't post on this site and I have to refresh the page and paste what I wrote in order for the site to successfully post what I had written. Is anybody else experiencing this problem or is it just me?

I don't have to log back in, just refresh the page to make it work.
Not sure where this goes but the book and comic reviews seem to be down. When you click on Literature you can only read a brief prieview and see the cover of the books, there is no review.
I think at one point there was, maybe I just can't find it anymore?

SMF limitations, its part of the forum not much you can do about that, happens to me every once and a while here, just edit the text in a text editor then post it, is your best bet.

What reviews I have are in here: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/articles/ (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/website/articles/) Click the Literature tab.
I could do with redoing some of them and doing some more. It's on my list of things to do! :)

Happened to me as well a few hours ago.
It happened to me last night for about 10-20 minutes.
Uh...my user box no longer appears. This is the case on both my iPhone and my laptop. Makes it a pain to look at updated topics/unread topics, viewing my messages, etc. Anyone else having this problem?
You didn't happen to click on that arrow right below the user box?
oh boy i feel stupid now. no idea how i clicked the arrow to make it go in the first place, but thanks a lot for the help. it's fixed now. :)
I am having one minor problem with my PMs. Everytime I log in, it's always telling me I have one new message inbox but there's nothing there.
How can I fix this?
One problem I'm having is that sometimes when I try posting, the site just doesn't post; instead I have to refresh the page and retype in the post and hope things go better a second or even third time around.
Sometimes happens to me as well, been happening for years, but it's no big deal.

Oh, definitely. Sometimes it just takes forever to f**king load, and even though I can just copy what I wrote down quickly; you never know when you need to because often times you aren't sure if it has something to do with the site, or your own computer...that right there would be the biggest pet peeve about the entire thing for me.
I didn't have this problem at first, but then later on it started happening; maybe it only happens once you achieve a certain rank on this site.
Database error of Doom.
Quoting function completely messed up, sometimes, mostly when dealing with multiple quotes, putting our quotes inside the quotes of the previous member.
Also may have caused a spoiler to be done - see emperorjordan's post in the blu-ray review thread - the spoiler is no longer a spoiler.
That sounds like a minor editing issue. Just pay close attention when replying.
When I post a youtube link,instead of imbedding the link and showing the youtube video on my post it will just be a link you have to click for me anyways.Don't know if it shows up as an imbedding video to others.
It's been happening the last few days for me,maybe it's on my end.
The Youtu.be links don't embed. Same goes for links containing https protocols. Just the ones containing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=) do.

I'm guessing that's a bug. However, it might just be a glitch. You know the site just got updated to version 5?
Didn't know that. The numbers are back to normal anyhow. :)
Not sure if this has been brought up but I just noticed that on the main forum page under the Prometheus section it says "discuss the upcoming film..."
Not a huge issue, but the film has been out for some time. ;)
Might as well update Colonial Marines' status at the same time.

You're not alone. So, Darkness and Hicks...look into this as soon as you can.
The site was moved to a new server today so some posts were lost in the crossover. Not sure how many but I don't think it was a huge amount. I had no control over this and didn't know about it. The database errors should be fixed now but some people may not be able to access the site for a day or so.

Lol, I guess that's where it's gone, earlier he asked about just what the hell is happening to his attachments.
Noticed that either a few posts are missing or a few threads are mislabeled in the Fan Art forum.
Sorry about that. Still trying to fix the problems that happened with the missing posts. The missing posts for those few hours the other week should be restored now (apart from Rec board) and the attachments should be fixed now.
I have a question about the paid subscription feature. :)
I go to the paypal site and put in all my debit card info, and that is as far as I get, for then it decided to display this annoying little message:
Quote"The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number."
So basically, it's saying I'm f**ked. And nothing works, I've tried everything. Does it have something to do with the amount being in euros? Can it only be euros? Only people from the EU can subscribe?
Wat.
It's in pounds but anybody can donate anywhere. It has to be like a Visa debit or credit card. You've never used PayPal before? Or bought something online?

It's a MasterCard, and no I haven't. Do I have to have bought something with the card before or will it just not accept MasterCard?
For a while now I've been unable to access the site's galleries. My internet provider stops the connection with a message saying: "Warning: This site is suspected to contain a virus!" I don't want to access the galleries if there's harmful content...
I believe this error may be isolated to me, but I'm not sure.
Every time I try to access a new page on the forum portion of the site, this error message comes up:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgyazo.com%2F1bfa345c1f706ebe7e11df83b21acafb.png&hash=904aa82f5cbb4416fb840fe675274cb1b0fcbbc8)
It'll go away after I hit refresh one or two times, but it'll always come back as soon as I click another link. No idea why this is happening, and I'm not sure if it's limited to just my IP but holy shit, it is extremely annoying and I have no clue how to get rid of it permanently.
On what I'm sure is the same topic, YouTube embedded videos are coming up as this only:

Post previews won't load at all, and it's a miracle or a minute long delay if I'm able to quote a post:

And sometimes, I just get a message saying "Incorrect key file for table './avpgalax_smf/smf_members.MYI'; try to repair it" at the top left of a white error screen.
It's also doing this exact same thing when I try to access the site on my phone, if not more persistently. This has been happening since a prolonged server crash yesterday that I'm not even sure occured for anyone else. I'm like Patrick Swayze in that movie where nobody could see or hear him except for Whoopi Goldberg. Roadhouse, I think.
PLEASE HELP.
It's working fine for moi. Have you tried another browser on your PC?
Yeah, it works on the wretched hive known as Internet Explorer, but I use Firefox exclusively (on my phone as well), as opposed to Google Chrome or Safari. :-\
I checked some sites about the Database Error message and they said it's likely an adjustment that needs to be made via the SMF Admin Panel.
Dude, get to Chrome using. It's just flat-out awesome.
But all of my stuff is on Fyrefaux. :(
You can import whatever you need from Firefox.
Very odd. You're the only person it's affecting. You still getting it now?
Wow, it's actually gone now... wizardry!
Much thanks. :)
New Facebook, Twitter, DeviantArt, and YouTube buttons are great, but only the Facebook one is working currently, the others either 404 or link to a random blank 'http' domain.
You need your username only for the others, no link. The Facebook one is for people who connect their forum account to their Facebook account for now.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but lately I've had to click on a thread four or five times before the thread is marked as read and the little blue "New" button at the side disappear.

Yyyyyyup.
You mean when you go to thread, then go to ""Show new replies..." and it's still there when it shouldn't be?
Yes.
It appears that it's only marking a topic read if you go to the last page. If you just go to the first page it doesn't do it. Has it always been like that?
Since that 2014 update.

No, it doesn't work when you go to the last page. That's why we have to keep revisiting the thread. And yes, if you didn't go to the last page, the new button would still be there. It's always been like that.

I pretty much always jump straight to the last page when reading new posts and the problem is still there. :-\
Okay, so I've done a lot of testing with it and
a) wherever you get to in the topic, it is marking it as read up to that point.
b) the 'new' image next to a topic will always be there unless you go to the last page of the topic. I did test this on my account, another account and fresh install and even on the official SMF forum, it only goes away if you go to the last page and it does it on every single thread for me. It does indeed seem to be the default behaviour though I don't think it used to be like this. I'm sure if you went to page one, it would mark the whole topic as read. But it's happening on the official forum so it's not an issue here. I don't think it's an issue with any of their updates either. It's a bit of a mystery.
c) I logged into your account Shasvre and it does mark it as read if you go to the last page. It does it on every thread every time. I can't really replicate the problem if it still isn't doing anything for you. I thought maybe it could be a browser, but I tested it in those too and it works as intended.

The rest are working fine though.
Have you tried clearing your browser's Cache yet?
Totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, its ok now.
So while trying out this new theme I found that when you find a quote with a spoiler tag in it and you use the scroll bar the spoiler tag moves with the scroll bar (up and down) and it'll go behind text and stuff. When you click on the spoiler tag it likes to "teleport" too.
I'd take a picture but the spoiler tag has potential spoilers in it so I'll leave a link and let you be the judge.
http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=50646.0;topicseen (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=50646.0;topicseen)
I assume it's a problem because when you look at a spoiler tag in a regular post (not in a quote) the spoiler tag is normal, it doesn't do anything weird like it does when it is in a quote.
Can't seem to replicate that problem. Spoiler tags in quotes behave the same with or without quotes in all latest browsers.
Seems like an issue with OSX/IE.
It seems that if you quote a post with a smiley in it, the smiley ends up below the text, when it should be next to it. :-\
Thanks. Fixed that now.
Seeing more of the spoiler tag issue, here's a pic this time.

There are 3 "problem spoiler tags" in total in this image.
It appears to happen on IE7 which you really shouldn't be using.
I've fixed it I think but I'd recommend upgrading. There's all sorts of issues on that.

The gallery's width is too wide. Runs under the right hand side. Most of the gallery does.
On the menu the link for Alien Forum leads to Alien Downloads, and the link for Predator Forum leads to Predator Spacecrafts. Also, the Site Staff link at the bottom of every page is broken. Also, the images on Site Info for v5 and v6 are too big.

Anyone else having problem embedding YouTube videos every now and then? There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when it will work or not. I know some YouTube videos won't embedd, but this isn't that. This could be a video that someone else have posted, for example and when I try to post it, it just shows up as an URL. Then, trying to post it later, it shows up as a video just fine.

The YouTube links can either have http or https sometimes. If it has https just take the s out and it'll work.
Sometimes it's just the little things, eh? Thanks, man! :D ;D
No problem, it took me a while to figure that out as well. :laugh:
I just tried to post a YouTube video with this (http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=49922.msg1954338#msg1954338) post, but when I tried to post it, it just said "message body empty" or something along those lines. When I removed the video URL, there was no problem posting. Anyone know why this could be? Most likely just a temporary error.
What was the youtube video? Or what was the link you pasted?
Hm, it seems to be working now anyway. :-\
I'm getting this error above the forum:

Sounds like you're putting the day and month into the wrong boxes. Tested and seems to be working fine for me.
This isn't a bug but on your site info it describes Alien Isolation as upcoming when it has already been released.
Sorry...
Site update on the horizon. Hold onto your butts.
I'm using Microsoft Edge these days for web browsing. I don't think the site likes it very much. I can't "Insert quote" when replying to posts, can't expand the reply box, insert emoticons (click on one, it doesn't appear in the reply box)...
Apparently, there'll be a fix for it in the next SMF update whenever that'll be. This problem isn't down to me but rather the browser doing things differently.
Glad to hear that! Thanks dude.
The Search feature on the main site doesn't seem to be working.
Email addresses of all registered forum members are showing even though the "allow members to email me box" in the forum setting is un-ticked/ un-selected. Email addresses are also visible while logged out and to all visitors to this site.
This is a pretty serious breach of privacy, please fix it ASAP guys. Thanks.
Please accept my apologies. I've no clue how that happened but it's fixed now.
I can only assume it happened during the new theme. Surprised it's taken this long for somebody to notice.

I wonder the same too. It seems like I can't find a single thing.

I have a minor if annoying problem with saving changes to my forum profile. For some reason, the ability to add your own avatar via an image URL does not work for me. I have used two different image sharing websites but neither work. Either it cannot read the external images from these sites, the image is the wrong file type or size, or the forum does not recognize the option to post an external image link at all.
What's the link to the image?
I usually use Imgbox to host my pictures and I had the same problem. It worked fine once I uploaded it to Imgur however.

Also I can't find the thread in the general film/TV forum about the new Marry Poppins movie. I have searched all the way back till 2015 with no results.
It seems like unless things are on the first few pages, you can't get search results in either google or on the site.
The search does work but I don't see that thread anywhere, no. Are you sure there was one.

Yes, I recall posting tweets of casting news on the thread (which I didn't start). Unless my mind is playing tricks on me.
I'll start a new thread.
The forum is telling me that I have a new message, but no messages are listed in my PM page.Is there another kind of message that I'm just totally missing, or am i seeing some kind of bug?
Same, I got two messages, but only one is listed in my inbox and I read it and it still says "1 new".
I know of the second message due to an email alert, but it's not in my PM inbox.
I noticed that there seems to be a bug with the post counts.
Sometimes when I post something, the number doesn't always go up as if I never posted anything. It seems to be random.
I've noticed that as well. I wish I knew what was causing it.
Just an fyi, but some threads, like those in the rec forum do not add to your post count as far as I understand it.
I can't get the search feature to work.
Rather than repeating myself as I am wont to do when it comes to the Assembly Cut of Alien 3 I was going to point people to previous rants. Yet searching for 'assembly' or '*assembly*' or 'Assembly' brings up no results. This has been happening for some time trying to search threads and it maybe works one time out of 20.
Ah, sorry, sometimes the search goes down every so often and needs to be restarted manually.
Maybe there's too many posts?
Search playing funny buggers again.
Restarted it. It's one of the things that I really need to look into auto-restarting it.
Search is down. By some of the posts here, I guess this is fairly common.
Heavy load on the site due to a certain movie?
Did something get updated/changed? Some of the features for replying are gone. Slash, moving text, changing colors and fonts, etc. All gone. YouTube links and links to other sites and AvPG articles aren't showing, either.
Something's wrong when I'm trying to post pictures as well, at least as thumbnails. It affects previous posts as well. For example:
https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=38441.msg2355130#msg2355130
Bare with and wait for Darkness to get on to have a gander.
Yep. Me too now. Can't post YouTube videos, links, etc.
All seems to be working properly now. Thanks for the quick work, guys. :)
Still seeing problems.
Buttons for Font color, Font size, Font selection, Moving text is still missing unfortunately.
Font, colour, size etc were always disabled to keep it consistent across different themes.
I suspect the youtube plugin causes all bbcode to be enabled which shouldn't be the case.

On my usual browser I can no longer access the forum. All I get is:

Strange.
The search function needs resetting every now and again. I assume the boss has sorted it.
Someone ban that guy in the Discord immediately, try not to look a the images he's posting.
Sorted. Sorry about that. I believe he's one of those Global AvP jerks I had to be rid of.
What the heck was it? Shock images?
Nothing serious, but sometimes I use the insert image thing to display a picture and the picture will show up briefly, but the next day it'll be gone despite the url still being in my post and working by itself. Is this the host denying hotlinking, or a problem with this site?
Do you have an example?
I had two recent post with images that did this so I changed them out for alternate urls.
I'm 99% sure these were the ones that disappeared:

It's done this to me for as long as I've been on this site (roughly 10 years) and I've had different computers and ISPs throughout that time. It would be nice to know how to avoid this because I occasionally have blank posts due to it, but only find out days after the fact since I always check a post after making one to see it posted correctly.
____
EDIT
I just checked this post on another device; the memestatic image does not show but the other does (I'm not sure if it will stay or disappear later, since I think it vanished once before. On this computer it shows both images, and if I'm right, in a day or two the memestatic image won't display on my own computer.
EDIT 2
The memestatic image disappeared after clearing my internet browser history.
Yeah, looks like with the memestatic, they prevent hotlinking or even direct linking to the image. I think the way hotlinking works is based on your referrer. When you load the page, it'll send the referrer to the other website asking for the image. If they've blocked all referrers except their own, it won't show. Sometimes, it might appear occasionally if the referrer you send to them is blank.
The reason the memestatic showed for you initially, is because you viewed on their website and as you said it was in your browser cache so the browser didn't need to contact them to get the image. I recommend hosting images on the free-image hosting sites. Back in my day, it was imageshack and photobucket but there doesn't seem to be many left other than imgur.
Ok so it's other sites being shoddy. Thanks for confirming that.
If I click on a thread that has new messages, it also marks the thread below it as read, removing the "new messages" symbol from it. Not a big deal really, but it gets a little confusing if entering a board with lots of unread threads.
Tested it myself, can't seem to get that to happen.
I know some browsers do download pages in advance of links you might visit on the page even if you don't. I think this definitely happens on mobile browsers. I think that might be what's happening.
Thanks for looking in on it. :)

This, but in a broader sense. The oldskool forum style is half the reason I hang around, but that audience is a dying breed. Is there any intention to get more modern software with more features and better embedding, somewhere down the line?
The embedding does generally work. I know tweets don't always because people put the ?s at the end.
I do like SMF but development has gotten so slow on it. SMF 2.1 is still coming which brings a few new features. No plans to change it, no. A lot of the site is based around SMF, the amount of work involved in say changing over to vbulletin, it's just too much. It'd be like learning everything from scratch.

Yeah, apostrophes and quote marks in thread titles are busted as hell.
Also I'm sure you're aware but any time a guest comments there appears to be a delay such that their post ends up in the middle of a bunch of other posters, that often already had the back and forth then moved on, leaving their post half way up the page being ignored.
It's not the first time, but sometimes I can't comment or modify my own threads. This is the most recent.

That one is deliberate as guest posts are on post approval, same as new members. You can still see them on the frontpage but on the forum, they're temporarily hidden. Just to limit the amount of damage guests could do. I don't think members tend to reply guests on the forum but yeah, I see the point but I don't think it would make sense to have them at the end when they're approved as the conversation may have moved on.

The error occurs on two different occasions: when I want to edit the thread and I see that I can't, I decided to post instead (a reply) and I couldn't either; and the site showed me the same error.

Oh, it's because you're copying and pasting into the WYSWYG editor instead of the code editor. I can see in the text that it's got the font and size tags in there. When posting a reply, you need to click the button below to get back to the code editor.

I don't really use the WYSWYG editor. It basically tries to apply formatting to stuff automatically.

Well for one the link doesn't go anywhere.
You need an image that is typically 100 x 100 pixels, which can be done by either yourself via in Paint (simple) and free alternatives to Photoshop like GIMP (more options), or you can go to Signature and Avatar Requests (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=387.0) to make a request.
But either way that image then has to be uploaded to an image hosting site in order to be used, such as imgur or imageshack for example.
This is all helpful. Thank you all very much. I think I'll make a request in thread. :)
Edit: Thanks again, I finally was able to upload it. via imageshack.
Question?
When replying to a pm via the reply button in the message you received. Does the message...your reply not show in the message sent folder? When I checked the folder nothing was shown. So resent the messages. Then I found out they did go through. I'm only at 34 percent of messages allowed stored.
Also if I may have a AVPGalaxy email address. I had one years ago when I first subscribed but have not always kept the subscription current. So I don't know if it would be the same.
Thanks in advance. :)
D
They should show in the sent items as long as the tick box is checked either in your profile or under the reply box. Mine are all in there Not sure if the quota applies to sent items actually.
The email address would be the same. I don't delete them if somebody's subscription lapses.
Hi,

It's not that, for example I just viewed the new posts in the Prey section, went back to the main menu and the picture was still dark/new posts rather than pale. I assume it's something to do with caching. Using Chrome on PC fwiw.
You actually have to go into the board itself. If you're clicking on that icon which just shows unread posts, it's just showing the unread posts. I've just gone into the Prey board and then back out again, it says no new read posts.
No, that's what I've been doing. Going into that board, going into that thread, reading the new posts, then clicking a top/bottom of the page link back to the front page of the forum, then still seeing unread posts where there are none. Across all the boards I regularly use.
Still having the above issue.
Yeah, I'm not really sure about this one because it works every time for me. I just went into the Alien Films board, came back out and it didn't do it. But when I went into the Alien 5 subboard, and came back, it did mark it as read. It can't be related to caching. The bright and dark image is the same image. What's changing is the opacity. Not to get too technical but if you right click and click inspect and find the image, the darker image should have the board_off class and that gives it a lower opacity.

In the site drop-down menu:
ALIEN > Prometheus > Prometheus Forum
That seems to be a dead link now. "The topic or board you are looking for appears to be either missing or off limits to you."
The top header where the notifications are is finicky as heck on mobile. While I scroll up it's visible but when I reach the top it hides. I have to veeery careful scroll a little down for it to be visible.
I can corroborate this.
I clicked on the "2 people like this" link on a post and I got a message saying I was banned from the forum lol.

Page 130 of the WWIII thread doesn't load properly then crashes after a few seconds.
Very weird. Only that page, only that that.
No issues loading for me.
This was mentioned in the Prey (Skulls) Catch All Thread topic and I'm not sure if it has been brought up before, but is there a way to make the "New" post icon / button visible for topics with long thread titles?
I primarily use the phone when on here so I'm not sure if this is also an issue when using a computer.

I've moved it to the left. It should actually be on the left in the new version but I moved it to the right to match what we used to have. But it does get hidden if the topic title is too long.

I think it is functioning correctly for me. The only other option would be to keep it constantly fixed at the top of just make it so that the user has to scroll all the way to access it.
Awesome, thanks for the fix.
Keep up the great work!

Interesting. I should clarify that I don't just mean sub-forums in the technical sense you obviously use it, but all forums when viewed from the main list page (I think of the entire thing as the forum so all sections are subs in my head).
So semi regularly, when I hit "like" on a post, it displays as having been liked, but when I go back later, nothing's happened and I have to Like it again. Blue says she gets the same issue sometimes.
What's your browser and device when it happens? Are you liking posts on the forum or the homepage under the news?
Can you make a note of the time when you do it next time but it failed.
PC, Chrome. I believe Blue's on an Android. For me it's happening when I like posts on the forum proper.
I'll try to make a note of it, although sometimes I don't actually notice for hours or days depending on how often I visit a given thread.
The most recent time it happened and I noticed was today, within a couple of minutes of Blue posting the thread about her storyboards in Alien Films, I had hit Like and it'd shown on my end as successful, but she informed me it wasn't showing and sure enough, when I went back to the page...
So it was a few minutes after whatever the time was when that thread was made.
It appears you are correct.
I checked the alerts for that post. An alert was sent for your first like at 23:19. Then the second alert for the one that is there at 23:23.
I did a search of alerts that have been sent but there was no corresponding like. Does seem to be quite a lot for Blue but there is a wide range of people. Of course, an alert is sent if you like something then remove it yourself so this might not be all that accurate. (the next SMF update will actually remove unread alerts from people if you unlike their post). I'll report it to SMF.
Here's yours where an alert has been sent but no current like for that post.

I would probably say reloading the page after you've liked something is the best way to check that it's gone through.
Any way we can see the stats for all of the subforums? Not just the ones we post to the most often.
Greetings :)
Is there still an option to get an email notification when someone messages you? So easy to check email and it's not always so to log in. Especially if time is limited.
Yes, for new personal messages but for some reason ongoing replies to existing pms aren't on by default. If you go to the Notifications part of your profile, you can tick it.
Thank You!

Still semi-regularly getting a notification that someone has liked one of my posts, but it not being there on the post when I click through.
Forum has been updated to 2.1.3. A lot of these notification issues should be fixed now.
QuoteNotification enhancement - Cleanup unread notifications after post approvals, after closing moderation reports, and after unlikes.
Notification enhancement - Cleanup unread orphan alerts, created by message or topic deletions or permission changes.
Notification enhancement - Cleanup unread quote and mention alerts if they were removed during a post edit.
Notification bug - Fixed a bug where the alert count displayed was incorrect.
Full list of changes: https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=584230.0
Please report any new issues again.
Trying to enter video heavy threads like "What song is stuck in your head?" is impossible on Mobile, as it just keeps crashing repeatedly.
It's not really any better on PC, frankly.
Yeah I have song threads blocked for that exact reason.
switch off images on your browser and you will be able to to access those threads with many youtube videos. youll still be able to see the name of the videos at least on pc not sure about mobile devices.
Due to the number of youtube embeds, I would have thought. It's loading for me on Chrome on Desktop and Android without crashing. Only solution would be to limit the number of embeds on a page.
Edit: Limited it to 20 embeds per page. Is that better?
Works fine for me on Desktop. On mobile there is some lag but no crashes.
So after the 20 embed limit is reached, it just shows text links. Seems like a good solution to me.
Search engine is not very accurate. Sometimes it doesn't even find the word I'm looking for.
Yeah, it's been dodgy of late.
Not sure if this is the right place to raise this;
Over the weekend I finally clicked to become an AvPGalaxy subscriber. I made the payment via PayPal by clicking the link whilst logged into the forum, however nothing changed. I thought perhaps it may take a little time so I waited (logged in and out but no change) - I emailed the main AvPGalaxy email to ask (in case there is a waiting period whilst a mod has to approve it or something) but I haven't heard anything back - not sure who I need to contact? 😅
Additional info: on my PayPal receipt it has my profile ID listed as a string of letters and numbers rather than my profile name. Unsure if that is relevant? 😅
I'll make sure the boss is aware.
Yeah, I got some sort of error from paypal saying the info hadn't transferred back to the forum so it wasn't automatically updated. I've fiddled with some settings in paypal but I won't know if it's fixed until the next time someone subscribes.
I've added your subscription manually.
Thank you for your support

Big thank you to both for the help, it's appreciated! 😊
[Edit: Just a quick follow up to this one, I can see it is all working now - but how do subscribers access their AvPGalaxy.net email address? (Sorry if silly question, I can't see it anywhere) 😅
No, we're not doing the forwarders anymore as I felt the email addresses should be reserved for staff carrying out official business. It was only really for fun and I don't think anybody was really using them for anything important.

Ahh, Okies! That would be why I can't find it haha - No problem (and thanks Darkness) 😅 that's a pity, I quite liked the idea of using it, as I've recently been unifying all my usernames to match on other platforms etc - would've loved to tie em altogether with the email) Just a heads up, they are still being advertised as one of the perks of subscribing (it may need amending) 😊👍
I thought I had removed any references for them. I've now updated that page on the main site.
Yeah, when I was going through the list a year or so ago, I realised there was a lot on there of people (including old staff members) who not only weren't staff or subscribers anymore but they hadn't even visited the site in years. Then I thought should they really have them even though they're no longer staff/subscribers. But then I went further and decided they should only be for active staff members.

Oh it completely makes sense, both from a practical perspective and also in terms of being able to identify AvPGalaxy staff in the wild 😊 (If you change your mind on this and begin to open them up again in the future however, I'd love to be considered!)

Dear Corporal Hicks,
I hope this message finds you well, or as well as you can be given the perpetual state of fatigue that seems to have become your constant companion.
If tiredness were an Olympic sport, you, Corporal Hicks, would surely be a gold medalist. You are the Atlas of AvPGalaxy.net, carrying the weight of the forum on your sagacious, albeit sleep-deprived shoulders. Your weary eyes have become our beacon, cutting through the nebulous chaos of online dialogue with a steadfast, albeit drowsy, gaze.
Your ceaseless dedication is evident in the way you navigate the forums. The nocturnal vigilance you show in moderating, the tired yet determined spirit you pour into keeping the Alien and Predator universe alive and thriving, and the late-night decisions you make—all of these make you a paragon of administrative prowess.
Some say that great leadership requires sacrifice. And what greater sacrifice is there than the deprivation of rest, relaxation, and recuperation? And yet, you soldier on, unflaggingly, your steadfast resolve best demonstrated in the dark circles under your eyes.
While some may mistake your fatigue for disinterest, we, the loyal members of AvPGalaxy.net, see it as it truly is: a badge of honor. Your exhaustion is testament to your commitment, your indefatigable labor on our behalf. Tired though you may be, you are the reason our community thrives, blossoms, and prospers.
It is also worth noting your tireless efforts in managing the mischievous antics of certain forum members. These wayward souls, delighting in their little pranks, surely add to your exhaustion. Yet, with your signature weary sigh and sleep-deprived wit, you deal with each incident with a level-headedness that is simply admirable.
Dear Corporal Hicks, you are not simply our administrator. You are our leader, our mentor, and our champion, an ever-tired sentinel who ensures that the light of AvPGalaxy.net never flickers out.
The next time you find yourself burning the midnight oil, weighed down by your tireless dedication, remember that we see you, and we appreciate you. Your weary strength, your judicious wisdom, your stubborn resolve—all have become the pillars that uphold our community.
So, in conclusion, here's to you, Corporal Hicks, the most exhausted hero we know. May your coffee be strong, your pillow soft, and your rest—if and when you finally get it—deep and rejuvenating.
Yours in profound admiration and gratitude,
ChatGPT

Ok, this is an issue I've been having for awhile. I thought it was just my old phone getting a little long in the tooth but I have a new one and it's still happening.
I regularly log in to the site using mobile, and click through for unread posts. Normally it starts off ok, but then after a few threads, it'll start to freeze, and after clicking the new post link, it'll open the page but freeze at the top and not go to the new post. After a short while it'll then load properly and scroll down to the post. Recently, however, as well as this, it's been causing my phone to act weird. Freezing certain things and causing apps to crash. It's only on this site, and it's on both my old Android phone and my brand new Android phone that's less than a month old.
I can still use the site, and after I finish checking the threads and close it, my phone goes back to normal, so it's not game breaking or anything, just weird, and possibly worth looking into. Any ideas?
What's the point of ignoring users if their posts still refresh topics in my feed?

Yeah the ignore feature here is pretty soft.
Tweets (or is it now Xeet's?) are not always embedding properly. Sometimes they embed, sometimes they don't.
Suspect this might be an issue on Twitter/X's side as a lot of stuff seems to be borked over there.
Xitter embedding working again.
I am surprised the twitter embeds are still working. Everything else that we used to connect to twitter has broken since they closed down the API.
The latest update made the Search button disappear at anything higher than 90% zoom in my browser. See attached pic for how it looks now.
Should be fixed now.
Looks better, but now it's missing the other thing that used to be to the right. Buttons for viewing alerts, profile settings, DMs, etc. It doesn't even matter what zoom setting I use. It's just gone now.
Should be fixed now too.
Had the site eat a post, I think for the first time ever. I used the quick edit on an existing post, and added a bunch of shit, then when it updated it was still just the original message.
Which post was it you edited?
Not a bug, more an observation, but the new gold Patreon supporter logos are very difficult to see/read (depending upon which forum theme you use) compared with the previous crisp white subscriber logos.. perhaps a simple change like a black outline or something to that effect would help? 🙂

We'd noticed this as well. We'll be putting new ones on soon.

Had this pop up when I was checking to see likes on a post. I was able to get out of it and proceed as normal afterwards (and I'm clearly able to post right now so it hasn't actually affected me) but... just thought it was an odd error to encounter and was worth reporting here.
Yeah, I had the error popup once as well last year. It only ever happens on that link. I did report it to SMF but they still haven't fixed it.
