Site Maintenance 3/20/19

[pigoo3]

Hey everyone. If you run into any issues...in order for all site changes to take full effect...we need to:

- Clear the browser cache
- Clear cookies
- Quit the browser
- Reopen browser

Thanks,

Nick

I logged in with the Mac-Forums iOS app about an hour ago...no issues here. I logged out...then logged back in...all good.

I was able to log back in using the Mac-Forums app now. All set. Thanks.

I also noticed the Mac Forums Safari (iOS) tab icon is not correct again.

A new strangeness today. In Mail, up to today, incoming emails show as being from "Mac Forums." Today they show as ""<[email protected]>. The two "" at the start are just as I typed it. Curiously, when I open the email message, the From is properly shown as Mac Forums. I haven't made any changes to my Mail setup. Is the site sending out emails differently? Note that in this image, the change seems to have taken place between 6:03 and 6:35 PM, EDT. Also, I use the classic view of Mail, but even if I go to the default, the From name is what you see and started at the same time.



Here is the same set of emails with Classic view turned off and one highlighted to show how in the right pane the name is Mac Forums, as opposed to the left pane with the strange name.



Anybody else noticing the change?

Jake, Yes. Just started maybe 1 hour ago.

OK, Now I feel better because it's not in my system. Thanks. Not a huge deal, just strange that it changed.

For me it changed between 6:10pm (old) and 6:41pm (new)

The same for me but I'm on PDT, and nothing had been changed at my end, at least not on my iMac:

I remember something like this happening a few years back. I in fact has made a Mail Rule for it so this time it just went to the MF folder.

Not your system, Jake.

Me too.

It may be deliberate - a Bot driven reply - or a fault. Don't know.

It seems the Mac-Forums is back as the sender name in my Mail.app emails. Nice.

Someone must have been busy in the wee small hours earlier today.

Thanks to whoever fixed it.

Yes, it's fixed. I think it was Nick that did it. I was going to go look and saw Nick in the Admin Panel so backed off. Too many people in there at the same time it might explode the forums forever!! Grin

I remember it was quite late and was shocked to see Nick up that late as he is a family man. I am an old loaner so stay up late!

 

[MacInWin]

Thank you to whoever did it. Nice to have the name back!

It seems I have noticed Nick still active and burning the midnight oil and well beyond numerous times, and then sometimes back at things around sunrise the next day, and I don't know how he does it. But it's sure appreciated.

Thanks Nick.

Thanks for the update. I also got the MF icon (favicon) in the tab bar in Safari using iOS.

 

[MacInWin]

Hey, I just noticed the favicon is back, too! Happy camper here. Miss the little apple...

 

[pigoo3]

Thanks guys...glad we got a few of those little details sorted out.

Yeah...sometimes I'm on at weird hours. Usually because I can't sleep (too much soda or candy before bed)...or wife is snoring (shhh...don't tell her I said she snores)!

Try a glass of dry red wine sometime before bed if you want help sleeping... if nothing else, it might make you smile a bit...

And just remember how you're helping the economy in so doing.

I am a great supporter of the economy

Hi Nick.

Earlier today whilst trying to post, I got repeatedly a 'Forbidden 403 denied access to server' sign. Anything to do with the maintenance?
