Thread: Site issues?

  1. #1

    Site issues?

    Just FYI, for the last week or so I get this error about 33% of the time when accessing through Tapatalk (v 3.2.1):
    Error 2205 -- Forum is not responding, please try again later.

    I don't use tapatalk, but I have noticed the site being laggy frequently, when other sites are not on the same device. I'll click on a post or link, and it will stall when loading, and take up to 30 seconds or do to load the new page.

    Reinstall Tapatalk. I had the same issue last summer.

    I've noticed another issue.

    When searching this site on google chrome I get an error message of file not found. If I hit the back error and click on it again I can get it. Anybody else have this issue?

    Now that I'm mechanically running this little site I'll look into it on Monday and see if there is something I need to do.

    Still seeing the same error, maybe even more often. Just FYI.

    When I access the site from my phone (no tapatalk) I get the generic vBulletin format - no pretty Rice Eccles background like before. The real problem is the generic format doesn't have a "What's New" button!@

    Conversely, I am not a fan of the new Tapatalk update. Very busy and hard to get used to.

    I hate to be that guy (the guy who uses a message board for free and then complains about it), but UB5 has become really hard to use for non-tapatalk users. I have to go into each individual category to see what is being discussed. Is there a quick fix to bring back the old format where we had the "What's New" button? If not, no worries, but it makes the phone experience a million times better.

    If I go to the regular site (not Tapatalk) on my iPad or iPhone I sometimes have gotten a weird view. There is a very simple way to bypass that, but I don't recall what it was!

    Hmmm, are you running Android? Mine is just a generic vbulletin page.

    Nope, that's the button that I want. That's the only way to follow this board, in my opinion, but I can only do it from my computer.

    Booyah! Thanks, LA. This apparently non-helpful help totally worked.

    The trick is to go to the vbulletin menu (it looks like a 3 by 3 matrix) and then avoid all the choices, scroll down to the bottom and click on "go to full site." Viola!

    Thanks, admins!

    Yes, that was it! It's been a while since I figured that out (almost by accident) but I remember laughing at how (a) simple, but also (b) non-intuitive it was.

    Jarid, I think your site may have some malware on it redirecting people to pornographic sites, much to my near embarrassment.

    I was at a remote location, I jumped onto a public computer within an office, thought I'd check out UB5, simply typed 'utahby5' into the address bar (which on my own computer typically gets autofilled to the correct address) and then hit return. It took me to a google search for 'utahby5' so I clicked on the top link which took me to a pornographic site. I shut it down immediately, and thought maybe that public computer had some malware on it.

    Later I did the same thing on my personal computer (typed 'utahby5' in the URL with no '.com') on a different browser that I typically use, did the same thing with the same result, this time directing me to a malware site. You can do private browsing and duplicate it if you'd like, but I've tried now on three different computers with the same result (save your pervert jokes please).

    It appears the link to utahby5.com redirects to utahby5.com/activity.php which is including a strange url parameters after it (I caught one quick - don't click on this link btw http://www.utahby5.com/activity.php?), which I would guess is causing the redirect. You may want to have your host check out your site to make sure it is all clean.



    Anyway, thought you should know.

    Of course your brother isn't going to join us now - he's too busy checking out that other site.
    I've had this happen too but, like Rocker, I wasn't on my home computer and figured it was junk on the public one.
    I just tried it on my home computer and my anti-virus blocked something.

    I got it once while having my wife look for some info on my phone while driving to a basketball game. She was less than enthused when she thought I was telling her to go to a porn site for me.

    It's hilarious that LA Ute wants it crystal clear he has never visited a porn site, even involuntarily because of a moose bug.

    It's never happened on any of my devices, but I just tried it on my wife's iPad (no Adblock) and I have now found some new adult friends.

    This is like a sitcom episode. I can almost hear you explaining, "it's not usually a porn site! I go there for the articles!"
