Forum Errors in the Related To Motorcycles Section
RetroAs many of you know, I have been tracking down that crazy error that pertains only to the Related To Motorcycles section. Some users have never seen it, while others seem to get it more often. I need a little help in tracking this thing down. For those of you who have ever seen this error can you give me a couple of pieces of information: 1) What browser (IE or Netscape) are you using when you are getting the error? 2) Does the error go away if you refresh the page? 3) There is a drop-down in the upper-right corner that shows "Show Topics For the Last xxx days". Does this error go away when you switch that to 60 days or below? I think I have tracked it to that drop down box. If you want to test for #3, go into any section other than the Related To Motorcycles one and switch that to 30 days. Now try going into the Related To Motorcycles section. Does it work? If it does, try going back into any other forum and switch it to 120 days. When you go back into Related To motorcycles, does the error come back? Please give me a hand with this. I'd like to get rid of this little bugger before I move on to some bigger mods. Thanks! Ride safe! Retro

dusty1) What browser (IE or Netscape) are you using when you are getting the error? I am running Netscape 7 2) Does the error go away if you refresh the page? No 3) There is a drop-down in the upper-right corner that shows "Show Topics For the Last xxx days". Does this error go away when you switch that to 60 days or below? I think I have tracked it to that drop down box. If you want to test for #3, go into any section other than the Related To Motorcycles one and switch that to 30 days. Now try going into the Related To Motorcycles section. Does it work? If it does, try going back into any other forum and switch it to 120 days. When you go back into Related To motorcycles, does the error come back? I was originally set to display all messages. At your instruction, I went to a different forum, selected "30 days" and then went to "Related..." with no problem. I exited, went to a different forum and changed the drop-down to 120 days. When I went back to "Related..." it displays the following error: ================== Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Warning: Fatal error 1203 occurred at Sep 25 2002 4:38PM /forum/forum.asp, line 239 ================== I tried a refresh on the page and the error remained. Went into a different forum, switched back to display all messages and returned to "Related..." and the error was still there. Tried once more going into a different forum and switched to 30-days, then back to "Related..." and the messages appeared. With the "Related..." message list showing normally, I switched to "Show all" and got the error (including refresh). Used the Back button, however, and the message list reappeared, even with "Show all" selected. I then tried switching to 120-day and received the error again. Let me know if I can do any more testing for ya! - Dusty I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific!
RetroYup....that's the result I expected...I'm going to see about applying SQL Server SP2 and see if that fixes the problem. Supposedly it should. Ride safe! Retro

RetroWell, we upgraded the server to service pack 2 today and it seems to have resolved this problem. Just go into the Related to Motorcycles section and you can now select 120 days or Last Year with no probs. Ride safe! Retro
