New Forum Troubleshooting-Please Post Questions and Answers

[Ella]

Welcome to the updated Pricescope!

Because we are all learning together, please do not email us with questions about how to use the forum. We will not be able to answer questions individually at this time.

Instead please post your question directly in this thread and either a user who knows the answer or one of the PS staff will answer the question as soon as possible. This way we can avoid answering the same question over and over again.

To keep the thread manageable PLEASE do not post ditto, me too, etc. If a problem has been posted we will work on it. Thank you!

If you have suggestions for additional features please use the suggestion box as always-keep this thread for reporting problems using the forum.

All policies will stay the same from the previous forum.

Ask away and we hope you enjoy the new look of Pricescope!


EDITED - 7-30-10

Is the seach funtion working? I used to be able to search with "5 stone with pics" to find my old thread
wtih my 5 stone. Now it comes back and says that there are no post with the word "with" in it.

If I search for just "5 stone" it says it cant search on it because it is not unique enough.

Can you please tell us what browser and type of computer you are on? We can all see them so there must be something different.

The search works in rudimentary ways right now but Andrey is working on rebuilding the indexes. This will give us a much better search function and the ability to search for all the usual searches and get good results.

Right now to find your own threads go to your profile and look them up there. The search function will be fixed soon.

If we did the indexing before we went live it might have been a few days of no forum and we know no one wanted that.

Ella and all the mods,
Thank you for PS2! It's working for me except one thing...I cannot read the full post or see the full picture. There doesn't seem to be a scroll down function for the individual post or something similar that might allow me to read the entire post if it is long. It just cuts off after a pre-set length.

One more thing; in chatting with some other PSers offline, it seems that quite a few PSers are still able to post to the older version of PS and are still doing so. Am I among the odd few who can only access PS version 2? I cannot seem to access the old PS anymore while some cannot access PS2 at all.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I'm using IE 8.0.6001.18928, on vista home premium.

Hi Chrono,

can you please post the link to the thread that you are having trouble viewing and what browser you are using?

Thank you

Re: New Forum Troubleshooting-Please Post Questions and Answ

It appears to be a very consistent issue for me (all board sections and all threads) but here is a good example since it also has a picture or two included:
colored-stones/color-change-sapphire-from-richard-wise-t145853.html

I am using Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6

It works like a virus. It takes a little while to spread to everyone. But they all should see it soon.

Those who are having picture or scrolling issues

We are doing our best to figure it out. Can you all please try using a different browser and see if you still have the same problems? We are trying to determine if it is a browser issue or a different issue. All of our testers see everything fine so we need your help to solve it.

Unfortunately, I only have IE on this PC but I'll be able to use a different browser later tonight.

I can't see the photos if I use Internet Explorer. I tried Mozilla and it works fine.

Thank you Maisie.

Others that are having trouble: What version of IE do you have? Please make sure it is the latest and we can work on it from there.

Works like a charm in Chrome.

A different issue I encountered, where is the log in area? The only way I could find to log in, was to post a reply, where it prompted me to log in, then it took me to my profile.

It is in the uppermost left corner of the forum. Right above the PRICE in Pricescope.

Glad everyone has gotten it working with other browsers. It works with the version of IE our developers have but apparently the other versions it is having trouble with. We are working on it but for now please use other browsers if possible.

When PS 2.0 was launched before there was an option to turn PMs off of on. Did you decide ultimately to not allow them or am I not seeing where this option is?

Looks neat so far! I can see pictures when I don't use IE.

In the profile section where you specify diamond specs, there is still "garbage" text in it. Would love it if we had diamond shape as part of these specs - the table and depth is pretty useless without it.
In the user profile, the most active topic has incorrect stats underneath it.

What happen to the functionality to find all threads by a user? I loved it and used it reguarly.
