Forum banner from another forum

[fadedangel]

I'm back with another possible bug or possible me not knowing what I'm doing. ^^; Not sure where else I should be posting this... if there's another place please let me know.


1) theothersv2beta.freemessageboards.com

2) Randomly upon page load another forum's banner has been overlaid on top of my banner image. If I hover over the image, a little tooltip appears that says TFP Test Site, though the url leads to my forum. I checked my theme preferences and I don't see where maybe there might have been a mis-copied link for the forum banner. This is the second time it's happened, first being earlier today. (I remembered the first time wrong... it wasn't ninja turtles.)

3) What do you think should have happened instead? I should only be seeing my forum banner.

4) Can you reproduce this on every pageview? No - it's happened twice today out of probably 30 pageviews

5) What browser, version, and operating system are you using? Windows 7, using the latest versions of Firefox and Chrome

Hi fadedangel,

Is this something you can still get to happen? Or has it stopped for you?

Also, have you ever seen that transformers banner prior to today? (such as on another website or forum, not necessarily your betazone forum)

Hi Ricky,

I've never seen the banner before that I can remember... I've been away from the rp scene for nearly a year, and am only just starting to build a new forum. Haven't looked at any ads or sites in at least that long as well.

I can somewhat replicate it, though not every page view. After about 20-40 page views (I randomly clicked on threads/boards, edited posts, created posts, deleted posts, etc) it happened again - this time with a new banner than the previous times while viewing a thread. And the same new banner showed up again about 5 page views after that while on the create a personal message page. The strange thing is while this new banner looks the same, on the first page it has a tooltip saying aRMY83 and Stafftwo, and the second page it has a tooltip reading aRMY83 and Staff^tm. I stopped clicking on pages and links after that.

Also, something odd that I noticed while trying to replicate it is that sometimes when I click "reply" and then use my browser's back button, the theme colors switch - they go back to having background 2 as white and the title bars a neon green. And then a page refresh fixes it. I'm not sure where that's coming from; I've been doing all my skin changes via the Colors and Styles section, rather than the Easy Theme Creator. Could that be the reason?

The method you use to make the changes shouldn't matter, but I was able to replicate the issue with another forum banner appearing randomly in your header. I've brought this to the attention of our developers for them to look into further. I'll also let them know of the other issue you mentioned about the colors

Hi fadedangel, I'm currently looking into your problems, but having trouble reproducing the second issue. Could you please answer the following:

• Did this happen multiple times?
• Did it happen on multiple locations, or just that one single thread?
• Do you recognize those colors from anywhere (other themes, older versions of a theme, etc.)?
• Were you modifying any part of your forum at the time this occurred?

Thanks.

Thank you Ricky



Hi Tim Camara, 

The color changes did happen multiple occasions, each time happened somewhat around editing or creating a post - either while doing so, or if I went to the reply page and then clicked back. It was at different locations (I believe at least; it happened 3 times yesterday but at different points, and I can't recall for sure.), Both colors had been part of the skin earlier that day - the white background 2 had been something that I changed earlier yesterday to match background 1, and while I was doing that the color of my title bards went from a grey/black to that neon green in the easy theme creator page.  I poked around the beta forum a bit just now and didn't notice any changes though... it might have just been a glitch with my browser remembering the previous colors or something?
