Forum Update - September 24, 2010 - Karma/Ad-related (Updated again September 27, 2010)

I pushed a forum update today that has the following changes:

1. Disabled the ads on the WinCustomize forums to try and prevent the "Malware Detection" problems for Chrome and Firefox.

2. Karma is now universal across all sites.  This means that the karma number you now see in each post will be the same across all of the forums, and that giving someone karma means they will get it everywhere.  Let me know if you notice any issues with it.

3. Updated some of our back-end moderation tools.

4. Minor bug fixes.

The karma page now includes pagination and I have included links to view a user's given karma.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!5* :thumbsup:

says he with ten pages of karma.:blush:

Clicking on View karma (my name) has given doesn't seem to work. It just reloads the page.

Try doing a hard refresh.  I am able to click on it just fine.

EDIT: My mistake, it was a bug in my code.  Try it now, it should work.

Not sure what bug you're referring to.  Can you provide more details/screenshots?

I sent it into support already if you want the image, but basically it stops at Microids and goes to Recent Posts (it used to stop at Focus Home, which you can see in the image if its still up)

[#KVS-175336]

As long as I'm not logged in it's fine

Also got a 'Sd.Menus.Menu is null or not an object' error that pops up ten times every other time I load a page I've been trying to ignore forever

Try doing a hard refresh on that page (Ctrl + F5).  If there were script errors I would have seen them.  What browser are you using?

It was in IE8, now it's still the same in IE9 beta -> Microids in here.  This is me logged off. (and then on to Recent Posts and all that)

As to the script error I assume it's related to Microsoft Security Essentials in some way, as when I upgraded to the 2.0 beta it stopped doing it every time (and usually doesn't do it anymore.)

But that could be bunk since I upgraded to IE9 recently too.  I'd have to redo everything to be sure, but it does it on my laptop and did it on a clean install too.  So I don't know if its an issue on my side at all.

Reply #41 Top

I haven't heard of anyone else having this issue and I am unable to replicate it on my end.  I am learning towards this being something on your end.

Can you try logging into the forums on a completely different machine using IE8/9 and see if the issue still appears?  I doubt it has anything to do with your account but we can verify it this way.

Still does it on my moms Vista box.  I don't have any other comps to try it on handy.

does it in Google Chrome too

Alright, I've found the problem.  The next forum update should fix it for you.

Do the script errors provide any details as to where the error is occurring or what the error is?  If you can provide me that information I can take a look.

If you received karma in a forum that was only on one site, only that sites karma would change for your account.  If I simply added your karma for both sites, it would have been inaccurate because I'd be double-counting.  Instead, I recalculated it on a per-forum basis, so that's the reason your karma looks like it went down.  In reality, it's the same as it was before, just in different way

Not that i care but my karma have drop a lot, almost halved... and i have only post in one forum, the sins forum... so there was no karma coming from other site...

Besides the number, did any actual karma disappear from your karma page?

As I mentioned earlier, it's 'Sd.Menus.Menu is null or not an object'...I don't have the error code handy yet but when it happens again I'll get that to you (since I installed the IE9 beta they've been coming up completely blank sometimes too, heh.)  I think the code was 631, but I'd rather have it in front of me than go from memory.

it pops up with basically every picture on the forum page when it happens
