review indexing isn't updating properly e.g. https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?action=serviceprovider;id=22689

but its fair to say this was going wrong a week or so before the takeover - it went wrong when admin introduced the new summary pages

I believe when a profile is indexed, the Admin needs to activate something for the Service Provider page to start operating (i.e. count number of reviews, retrieve data from AW, etc). I think this is something Admin stopped doing when he knew he'll be shortly handing over the site.

I could be in error.

Just something for the new Admins to look at.

looks like embedded links  to Adultwork profiles no longer pull down links to reviews

The headline numerical listing of review ratings is a major feature and very helpful one (and seems to be working ok?)

What was less helpful was a search that brought up not just reviews based that SP's AW number but dozens of "have you seen" queries. So if the search limits the AW numbers to actual reviews that is probably a good thing. Not sure if that's what you meant though?

what I meant was the summary of review numbers you get when you place an AW profile link into a post.
That doesn't seem to be working, or at least not in the thread I linked to

That doesn't seem to be working, or at least not in the thread I linked to

Looking at the example thread provided there are 3 different AW profiles linked in posts. Only the 3rd one has automatically generated the AW profile number index reference on the following line, showing a link to the SP's summary page and a display of the review counts.

Comparing the links posted there are differences between them that might explain the missing auto reference:

1) External Link/Members Only - Currently active AW profile, but no previous reviews for the Aw profile number posted on UKP. So there are not indexed reviews to auto reference.

2) External Link/Members Only - AW profile number has UKP reviews, but the link is not currently active on UKP.

3) External Link/Members Only - Only AW profile of the 3 to have a history of reviews on UKP and a currently active profile

Maybe the reviews for the 2nd profile listed (4076513) are not showing an index reference because the AW link has become inactive? I believe the index reference used to continue to be displayed for inactive AW profiles, so that would still be an error/bug. This doesn't fix the problem, just an observation that the cause may be related to active/inactive AW profiles.

Is there a problem with the review indexing? Or at least the historical record of which helper indexed it?

I've just noticed that the following two reviews indicate that they were not indexed (or they do not state who indexed them, see the highlighted section of the screen shots attached). Possibly they never were indexed by anyone. But it's pretty rare to see one un-indexed, the helpers usually pick them up very quickly (I think Goldfinch and couple of others practically seem to race each other to get to them first). So it must be especially rare after each of them have been read a few thousand times.

Example 1) https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=134177.0

Although the indexers name is missing the review count seems to be correct (from counting them on the summary screen). A total of 48, 43 Positive and 5 Neutral.
Hidden Image/Members Only

Example 2) https://www.ukpunting.com/index.php?topic=251800.0

The count only shows 1 positive, when there have been 2 to date. However, one of the reviews was only posted today, and I have noticed several times in the past that the count can sometimes take a day or two to register new reviews.
Hidden Image/Members Only

I've only noticed these 2 examples. Plus, the review counts generally seem to be accurate from what I can see. So I doubt its an urgent issue, just an observation for future reference. 

P.S. I have avoided indexing them myself now, in case that interferes with any checks that will need to be done.

Thanks for the name check.

Those 2 examples have been indexed correctly-no name is showing up because Admin indexed them,now referred to as OldAdmin.

[scutty brown]

I’ve just noticed that my last two reviews haven’t been added to the SPs number of positives / neutrals / negatives. I thought I might have fucked up one of them as I indexed it myself (first time I’ve done it so thought I’d done it wrong). But my subsequent review hasn’t been added to the SPs total.

Hope that makes sense as I’m shit at explaining technical things!

thats one of the ongoing issues......another of admin's tweaks that aren't working now

[scutty brown]

That would depend where it was saved on the server - if he only gave you files from the root and the script was above it, then yes.   If it's in the root file structure somewhere then it's a case of finding it, possibly by comparing the files on the server against a default copy of SMF and seeing what stands out.

You're both missing something though
The change happened several weeks BEFORE the server move, so you'd need a backup or snapshot image of the server from several months ago to compare

[LLPunting]

Errmm, I can't see it reported but the review count doesn't appear  to be working consistently for indexable SPs.

[scutty brown]

I'm concerned about that, there are reviews referencing massage shops and having those show up on Google next to shop ads isn't a good thing.

Oldadmin deliberately set things up so that the Google bots could index the whole site without needing a password. He confirmed it in a PM to me when I queried a search hit which pointed to a locked part of the site
He WANTED Google searches to drive traffic here.
I was never convinced that that was a good idea, and I've no idea if its still true.

Hi guys, I hope its ok to post this question. I couldn't find anywhere appropriate on the forum. And while I'm here, maybe someone can advise me where members can ask questions regarding the workings of the forum.

I went through all of the reviews (well most) in the West Midlands Region. I noticed that some image thumbnails would not expand to a full view. Also, I came across a few dead links to which I'm presuming lead to obsolete web pages or expired/non existent profiles.

If I take screenshots of profiles and upload images to the forum server,  will these images always be there to view? I don't want to be wasting time editing images and uploading if eventually they will disappear.

No-one else has answered so here's my understanding of it

Based on something Oldadmin said years ago......
If you use the "attach image" button then the image is uploaded permanently to the server.
But if you embed the image using img /img tags then its temporarily cached on the server, being refreshed on demand from the source location.
This bit us not long after Oldadmin left as Adultwork overnight changed the paths to their image servers, leaving a lot of images missing from the forum. Someone (I presume Head1) eventually managed to repair the links so most of the images returned.

You mention the review images. What I understood to be happening there is that the thumbnails were stored permanently, but the full images were only cached so if the AW profile is closed, the image will eventually go.

Complicating the whole thing is that around three years ago the server ran out of space and Oldadmin deleted a host of images over a certain age or size. As a result you may find some early threads with missing images. The background problem there was a few idiots constantly posting images of their favourite girls and trying to turn the forum into their personal wankmags.

Most of what I've said predates the current admin team so may well have changed - especially as we're running on different servers now

[Straightsix]

Thanks Scutty. What you say does make sense. Hopefully someone can elaborate further.

Morning

for several days now the UKP site has been triggering an alert on unwanted / potentially dodgy content on my virus scanner?
Any ideas please?

Any attempt to click on any stages of the site or actions within it repeatedly triggers up the potentially harmful content message, making it in practice impossible to usefully visit the site?  Harmful Content message needs deleting constantly/ repeatedly in order to move around the site. 

Regards

[tynetunnel]

Any ideas please?

• Turn off your anti-virus scanner
• Stop visiting UKP
• Advise your anti-virus that UKP is a safe site
• Use a different device

Now that bugs are being fixed and new features added. Would it be possible to look at:

• The ability to unsubscribe from threads you're no longer interested in
• Making the AW review count match with the current database, i.e. when you reference an AW profile, the link that is added beneath the post currently doesn't take into account all reviews
• If I use unicode emojis such as 💩💩💩 and try to preview my post, it returns an error

I believe this was answered sometime ago, and for any changes to be made, would require altering the script, which guess could lead to other problems

I read about that at the time. However there is a developer on board, and things are changing, so now is perhaps the best time to revisit this and look at actually altering that script.
