Question - I am having a problem whereby I do not see new posts added to a topic regardless of whatever I do, whether that be F5, click on the latest post icon etc. Even logging off and on again does not change things. However, suddenly it will be updated before "freezing" once again.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

This has been covered a few times - if you look back on this thread you'll see various suggestions.

Usually it is believed to be web proxies and firewalls that cache old copies of pages (in an office environment particularly)

You may have more luck with CTRL-F5 (if you are using internet explorer). This often forces a page reload regardless of caching policies.

Try it and see

Anyone know why my posts don't always work first time, I'll click send and then my writing just naffs off somewhere.

Thanks

^^^ not as in I can't see them, as in they can't always be posted

Do you get a message alerting you that somebody else has posted on the thread whilst you were typing? In this case you will have an option to Save or Modify your post - and if you scroll down the new posts are viewable.

No the text box just empties. Sometimes it refreshes the screen automatically aswell

How do i remove a poll from a page i've created?

Not sure if you can remove it but certainly if you edit the opening post, you can mark the poll as closed.

Only admins can edit or delete an existing poll.
Let me know which one, and I can do it for you.

Here's the link, I just want to delete the poll but keep the topic open if possible?

Done
Ive also removed the image as we dont allow them (keeping the site safe for work) but left the link.

Cheers bud! Sorry didn't realise regarding the picture

No worries.

Do we have no facebook page at all now

I have created a signature but I can't seem to get it to display with my posts. Am I missing a setting or something?

At the moment (IIRC) signatures are disabled to help keep the site "safe for work".

You're spot on Kiwi!

Not only does it help keep the site "work safe" - it also stops people advertising other sites as yours seems to do Eric

Hi - wanted to know if I could enlist the help of your forum members with regard to the location of any sport pitches/clubs on island of Ireland. I want to compile a list of these into a directory application that I've developed for use on web/mobile phone.

If your users were willing, I'd like them to be able to pinpoint precisely the location of any sports pitches/clubs that they know about - in their local area or otherwise. It can be done easily using a location code website - http://www.gocode.ie/getyourgocodemain.aspx - which provides a facility to mark places and give them a unique location code to an accuracy of 10 feet apparently. Ideally I'd like them to post on the forum here (or email if they prefer) the name of the pitch (if they know it), address/ townland location and the location code for its entrance.

Would this be allowable? I quite understand if it's not.

My friend tried to register today with the username Unknown Brother. He didn't get an activation email in his inbox or spam and when he tried to re-register it said the username and email are already in use.

Can you resend the email?

I have just activated the account for you.

You can also tell your friend that he used the wrong email address in his message to us.

Ok, cheers.

That's because he used my second email address and got the end wrong

Hi, looking for help

I've been posting in the tennis forum today, and all of a sudden I can no longer see the most recent posts after mine. I can see on the tennis homepage that there are new posts, but when I click to view, it takes me to my last post and doesnt show any others.

Anything I'm doing wrong here?

try hitting "Ctrl" and F5 - which gives your page a hard refresh - sometimes work servers cache old pages.

Let us know if it sorts the problem.

Can this topic be moved into the Football section, instead of it being in the Premier League section? https://www.606v2.com/t7047-underused-players-that-have-been-at-your-club

Done.

BigSal thanks for asking that question as I have that problems sometimes and thank you mods for answering it.

My question is, can you search members on here? I am looking for someone who has joined this site. I want him to join our Fantasy League on here as he was a member with us on that site I won't mention. His name is Tranqil, thank you very much.

From Viva.

There is a tranquility and a tranquil chaos on hre.

If you go to the memberlist tab at the top, you will be able to search.

If you want to search for a member and arent sure of the spelling, you can put what you do know and add a "*" to it:

ie Tranq* brought up the two members I mentioned.

That was a really quick response, liking the service here.

Yeah his name is Tranquil Chaos, thanks a lot Hobo you mods have been very friendly and helpful since I joined 606v2.

No worries - glad we could help!

(I will give you 2 weeks before you start labelling us nazis!)

Any chance we can get the following installed?

http://www.tapatalk.com/

Would allow app's to be created that will talk to the forum. (i can develop a WP7 app), also are there any plans on skinning phpBB?

thanks,
Nathan

I think because we're hosted by forumotion, we can't install our own things to the site.

Although, I'd still wait for an admin to confirm that as I am not 100% sure, just wanted to get back to you.

Unfortunately Invincible is right, it isn't possible to use Tapatalk on this forum host. Sorry for the delay in responding, we have been looking if there are any ways we could make this happen.

Thank you for the suggestion though.

Is there any reason why when I try to access the site on my computer (currently using phone) it says "cannot find server"?

It might be a problem with your broadband or browser, are you able to access other sites?

Yep I'm accessing other sites fine just not 606v2.

Wired.
Have you tried deleting all your browser history. Which broadband provider are you using?

Just deleted my history which didn't help, I'm using orange.

Gimme 2 mins, i'll have a chat with the technical team. Please hold the line caller.

Derby,
Reboot the pc and try again, if you still cant get on, can you post exactly what the error message says.

The webpage "www.606v2.com" cannot be found.
DNS error occurred. Server cannot be found. The link may be broken.
Then it suggests I should search the web.
Then says: the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The website might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may need to adjust your browser settings.

I've not changed any browser settings and its always worked.

DNS stands for domain name server. Basically a DNS converts ip addresses (that computers can read)

A DNS error indicates that a web server could not be found at that domain name. A link might also be dead because of some form of blocking such as content filters or firewalls.

Try rebooting your computer and trying again. Or temporarily turn off your firewall and try that way.

Turned it off and on again and that's not worked. Why would my firewall be blocking it if I've never told it too?

it does it as a natural reaction some times, try restarting your router

It says its a DNS error, which means your pc is unable to transfer the domain address into a number sequence recognised by computers.
Usually this occurs because of a dead link. Try accessing v2 through google.

If turning off your firewall doesnt work, then you need a DNS programme that will fix URL's that your broadband can not pick up. Google "DNS programme fix" and download a free one. Once installed, you can enter a url (https://www.606v2.com) and it will fix the DNS so that your pc can access the site.

In effect, its a problem with your broadband.

Tried accessing it through Google which didn't fix it also turning off my firewall didn't help either. I'll try downloading the stuff tomorrow.

restart your router ive had this problem before.

Cheers nando I'll give that a go tomorrow too.
