FYI ... I'm aware of the errors this afternoon with accessing the site. i'm trying to track down the 503 errors that some of you are getting when the server gets hammered by spiders like Google, Bing, Amazon, Yandex, etc. I've been working on this problem since last night around when I last posted in this thread in response to megatran. These 503 errors are incredibly frustrating. At least now they only happen when the server is getting hammered and it runs out of resources. Trying to fine tune it so that this doesn't happen.

This is the actual error message:
Database query failed: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MariaDB server version for the right syntax to use near '.title AS series_title FROM sighting_items si INNER JOIN tf_series c ON si....' at line 6

I keep getting Kremzeek warnings when clicking the "View the newest post since your last visit:" links in my email notifications.

The other "View the topic:" and "View the forum:" links work fine, but the first just takes me to Kremzeek.

And this is only happening on my laptop. Clicking the same link from the email on my phone works just fine.

EDIT: And now immediately after posting this, I get another Kremzeek when using the Back button to go back to the page I was on before I entered this thread to report this problem.

Thank you for the exact link. This has been resolved.

Can you forward me an email that you received? I am unable to replicate the issue. Maybe it's for a specific topic or a topic that has special characters in the title or something? Something else is going on with that issue.

The only thing I can think of in that scenario is that your laptop has a bad cached page and you might need to clear out the cache in your browser, especially if it is working on your phone but not your laptop. Could be something else, but that would be my first instinct.

Which back button? The one in your browser or is there one in the forums?

I finally updated the post notification emails to have the SEO friendly URLs. If someone can reply to this topic, it'll send me a notification so I can verify that it worked.

Awesome - this is literally one of my favorite elements of Seibertron - besides ScottyP and the Podcast.

I really appreciate that and I'm sure ScottyP and the rest of the Twincast crew will appreciate hearing that as well, molleking!

I've got more changes and fixes coming to the sightings section as time allows. I'm updating code first and then will be implementing more modern functionality at a later date. And trying to figure out what to do with all of the bad store data and closed store chains.

And there were of course errors because of how the links are handled differently in the email. I resolved it again if someone else can reply to test it.

I'm getting the notifications. The site is formated nicely for mobile. The only thing that looks off are videos.

As in the new Big Broadcast section? What looks off?

When a video is embedded in a thread. If I hold my phone in portrait mode, they look cropped. They do play normally.
