NüCamp T@B Forum Issue

BrianZ

Since yesterday, I cannot see anything on the T@B forum at NüCamp.  The header part appears, but no contents -  it looks like this..

I wonder what's up with that?

I had the same experience.  It might have been a server issue.  The same thing happened to me some time ago with the TAG forum.

Yes, same view for me.  Likely a website update.  Use the Vanilla access.

I've been experiencing a similar problem.  When I use the normal link
 https://tab-rv.vanillaforums.com 
I just get the message "Service not available"

Since the big Google outage a day or two ago plenty of sites still act weird or don't come up at all.  But friends elsewhere in the country say those sites are just fine.  Strange.

Sharon_is_SAM

I sent an email to nuCamp to inform them about their website issue.  

DougH

Working again (for me) this morning as are all the other sites I use.  Cyber attack?  Or spring break for exhausted routers? 

BrianZ

Appears to be fixed now.

Sharon_is_SAM

OK.  Email acknowledged by nuCamp.  Likely won’t find anything, but who knows.

Couldn't get on for two days....started to get the shakes. Back on this evening and I noticed the URL is now vanillacommunity, not vanillaforums. Must be a server update.

TerryV6

Yes, I found I had to change my link address to get back in.   Pretty scary thing those 505 server errors...

I don’t know when https://tab-rv.vanillaforums.com/ changed to https://tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com, but I’m changing my bookmarks/homepage to delete the first.

ScottG

I haven't changed any bookmarks and mine seems to automatically redirect to the new address.

jgram2

Well @ScottG, that confirms it-your desktop is smarter than my iPad, guess I’ll have to change our bumper stickers too. All I get is the 503!

Sharon_is_SAM

Same with me - I continued to connect and did not notice the change!

ScottG

Ok, I did find one issue members should be aware of...

If you click a hyperlink in an older discussion, it gives you a 505 error. You have to replace "tab-rv.vanillaforums.com" with "tab-rv.vanillacommunity.com"  in the address in order for the link to work.

I'm having trouble trying to edit a post.  It doesn't allow me into the edit mode.

Verna

@BrianZ, the Vanilla developers are working on the fix as we speak.  The fix should be installed yet today.  

May I ask what you are using, please?  Right now, it won't work on my iPhone XR, nor my iPad, but it is working on my MacBook.

I just edited my post to add this line, just to verify that it does work on the MacBook. 

New test 2:48 pm EST editing is now possible. Verna

FYI, so far things seem to be working fine on my Windows PC, but i did encounter some issues yesterday when trying to edit a post on my Android phone.

Seems like the issues may be with the mobile format.

Verna

Yes, it was the mobile formats. It’s possible Vanilla was trying to help those of us with Apple products as I had been working with them on a couple of issues.

All is fine, as I have checked with both my iPhone and iPad. 

Clear your history in your browser and it should be fixed. 

BrianZ

Thank you, @Verna.
It's working for me now!
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Android phone with Chrome browser, but became concerned because there was an Android security update installed this morning, so wasn't sure if it was my phone.  I never tried clearing the browser cache, but I did test with the Firefox browser & got the same behavior.
Thanks, & glad it seems to be fixed now.

Verna

@BrianZ, you’re very welcome. It was really awkward trying to perform “normal” tasks this morning.  

Sharon_is_SAM

I seem to remember that doing a search on the forum resulted in a list of threads with photos off to the right of the corresponding thread.  Anyone else remember that feature or am I making that up?  

pthomas745

I kind of remember that.  

When I do a "Google search" of the Forums sometimes the "Images" that Google sends from the threads are really useful to help find things.

Sharon_is_SAM

No images when I do the “Google” search either.  Hmmmm.  But, I can select “Images” and get a bunch of photos labeled with the thread.  That’ll work!

pthomas745

@Sharon_is_SAM that is really what I meant!  Didn't phrase my answer well. 

And, some days and some searches, those "Image" links don't relate to "Tab" at all. 

Sharon_is_SAM

@pthomas745 - I’ll need to pay closer attention to those images.  I think I will ask Vanilla if those photos were ever there or not.  

Sharon_is_SAM

I asked Vanilla about the absence  of pictures on the search threads.  This am there are pictures.  So, @pthomas745, we did remember correctly.☺️
