1. When I click on the underlined airport abbreviations, I don't get a definition, nothing happens.

Nothing is supposed to happen if you click. If you don't click but leave your cursor over the underlined abbreviations, the full name of the airport will pop up.

A pop up adverb appears in the middle of the screen on the iPad so that you can't read any posts on a forum. Non !!!
And the pop up ad doesn't go away. There's a X in the upper right hand corner that doesn't work. The pop up fills the entire screen.
The forum on the iPad has become useless.

Quoting ComeAndGo (Reply 251):

I agree if you use an IPAD, this site is useless because of the pop up ads! There is no rhyme or reason to the pop ups either and you end up clicking on one because you are not fast enough to select the topic on the forum.

When I search for all photos within a US State, I get the same number of photos as when I search for Other airports in this state.

For Example, when I search "USA - Alaska" I get (as of this moment) 8,837 photos.
When I search "Other airports in USA - Alaska" I get the same number of 8,837.

Shouldn't this 2nd search result in only airports not already listed in the drop down, and therefore be a lower number of photos? This issue seems to be occuring with other States as well. Is this normal or an error? Thank you for looking into this matter.

Is there a problem with the screening emails? I've not had a problem with receiving them for a few years but I'm not getting them as of Monday?

Thanks,

Darren

Yes, there is a bug with the emails in general. Deletions from the forum take place, but no emails are being sent out to the users.

Developers have been informed and are working on it.

Hi guys,

Something I just found is I am not getting any emails as my photos are screened currently.

Hi Wilco737

Is there any news from the developers as to when this "bug" might be fixed ?

This has been an issue now for a very long time, and has affected numerous posters.

I have deletions from several different threads, for reason unknown, and not one notification.

Makes it terribly difficult to participate.

Hi TheCommodore,

We got word from the developers that the e-mail issue should be fixed sometime tomorrow. It's been a weird couple of days, but everything should be back soon.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

This is a new error that started Friday where no deletions or acceptance e-mails were being sent out. If you've been having errors prior to Friday I recommend you shoot support an e-mail at [email protected] and see if there is something they can do to help you.

Cant post in Civ Av as each time I try it says that I'm not logged in. When I click on login it says I'm already in.

There it goes again. Since a couple of days I log in but can't post in Civ Av as I don't show as logged in on that specific forum. When I select another forum and then return to Civ Av I appear as logged in. Then select a thread, write my reply and click on preview the post. Then it returns to the window where I write my reply and on top of it is a message saying: "The username and password combination you supplied were incorrect. Please scroll down and fill in your correct username and password."

Go to where cookies are stored and delete the Airliners.net cookie.. there may be two. I have safari 6.1.5 and this works for me.. yes you will lose your history on threads you've read, but just open them and close them, then open again and go to the end..

I don't understand cookies, however it appears that there is a limit on how much of our browsing they can keep and instead of deleting or superseding , this one gets warped.

Already did it before posting my previous message.

Just posted a reply in Civ Av. After the site pretended again that I didn't exist, I filled again Username/password blanks and tried to post it. It worked, but it's gonna be "fun" if I have t do it each time.

Quoting Casinterest (Reply 180):
I noticed that their are issues with how the site represents secure and non secure https links.

It would be great if the bug of https links not working could be fixed, since more and more links are going to be https (e.g., all Twitter and YouTube links). My workaround is to drop the s when first writing the post, then editing the preview and reinserting the s twice in the HTML tags. Not so elegant...

SpaceshipDC10 · Wed Aug 06, 2014 7:49 am

It could be that the difficulties I encounter with the site may be related to Safari since I now using an old version of Opera and so far it seems to be working well.

hkg82 · Fri Aug 08, 2014 5:19 pm

Bugs again....can't see past 24 hours pics, nor can I access things like links to airports, airlines, registrations, etc.

Edit: Disregard, all seems to be ok now.

What is happening to the performance today - is there a problem with dm.demdex.net as I get the message waiting for that a lot whilst waiting for the forums to refresh.

tan1mill · Tue Aug 12, 2014 10:50 pm

Curious if the developers have had a chance to look at the issue I wrote about in reply 253. I'm still seeing the same number of photos when I search for "Alaska" as when I search for "Other Airports in Alaska". Thanks.

VapourTrails · Wed Aug 13, 2014 10:42 am

I have the issue with searching the forums as well. It is not bringing up any of my additions to the forum, for example, posts with 'VapourTrails' in Non-Aviation in 2014, only the ones from 2001 to 2004.

Not that it really bothers me all that much, but it is still a bug that needs to be rectified?

Search engine didn't work well. Any link: 24 hours, photographer, type - shows: There were no photos in the database matching your query. Works proprly in 1 from 10 tries.

MEA-707 · Thu Aug 14, 2014 10:05 am

The photo database doesn't work properly... I get no results if I want to see the most recent 707 or Saab 2000 pictures for instance, while there are 1000s in the database.

I assume that's why screening has been stopped? There's yet another problem with the database?

hkg82 · Thu Aug 14, 2014 2:50 pm

Yes same here..can't see past 24 hours, or when I search for specific things there are no results. It's the same bug again that the site has experienced a number of times already this year.

rdc1000 · Thu Aug 14, 2014 4:56 pm

The photo database seems to be playing up. I tried to search for Jet2. Initially searched for Boeing-737-800, but then when this said no results, I cut back to just the airline, which still said no results. I changed the airline to Jet2Holidays, still no results at all were found. I'm guessing this is the case for any airline I try?

Great if you can have a look at this. Thank you.

aagold · Thu Aug 14, 2014 5:45 pm

Search of the database using any keyword filter does not work as well as selecting a specific airport from the pulldown.

These pop-ups need to stop. If this isn't corrected shortly I will once again cancel my membership and stop visiting airliners.net.

Now I get in addition to Nutrisystem something called Media Downloader. When it pops up it totally jams up Chrome and I have no option but to force quit Chrome and reopen my session.

What is being done to address these issues? The previous thread on this subject is locked.

Disappearing text ...

I write out messages, click preview the post, and some of the text is gone. Sometimes it doesn't happen (or at least I don't notice) until the message is posted. This happens frequently, but not always.

As a Premium member I do not mind seeing ads on the page. What I really object to are the constant pop-unders. They are so frustrating.

PITingres · Mon Aug 18, 2014 9:25 pm

I haven't found a good way to stop the popups entirely, but it is possible to avoid the actual advertisement (and thus avoid whatever dubious content it may contain) by adding svr123.com as an alias for 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts file (not sure what the equivalent is for windows). Add it after "localhost" of course. I'm sure that there is a good browser-based way to suppress them completely, but I can't be bothered -- I'll just go elsewhere.

I hope that DM soon realizes that the outrage factor is much higher than the puny amount of revenue these pop-unders might bring in. I've already cut my airliners.net viewing by at least half, and if this keeps up, I'll probably just give up on the site entirely. It's not like there are no alternatives.

My router/firewall has URL filtering option. Blocked svr123.com. Now it tries to pop-under and fails with connection was reset message.

That 2 days should have held because Demand Media are programming it so that Premium members will not see the pop unders. Hopefully they'll have it fixed over the next day or so. Thank you for your patience while they do this.
