My Games Issues
Wed, 06/09/2010 - 16:41
I'm not sure what's causing it, but the My Games page seems to be not updating correctly, showing items that haven't been updated in the New Content section.
I'll even click on a link to read it, hit the My Games link to go back, and the story is still under New Content.

Update on the issue. It seems to be another case of the "www" vs. "no www".
If I go to http://www.nextgenrpg.com/content/my-games I seem to get a frozen page. No updates occur, and the "Who's in chat" shows four users even though there's nobody there.
If I go to http://nextgenrpg.com/content/my-games instead, everything's copacetic.
Hope this helps.
All the links should have the www in them. Can you point out the ones you run across that don't have it?
This is a known issue with the links as the site considers www.nextgenrpg.com and nextgenrpg.com to be two different locations. So if you've logged into the site using www.nextgenrp.com and you click a link that is missing the www it will appear you have been logged out of the site. If you later log back in and click the link again it remembers your log in but does NOT remember anything you did while on the www site.
This has reared it's head a bit more since we changed servers as we've had to do some reconfiguring on the back end to fix some migration issues and it's being a little less tolerant of links being off.

Sorry for not being clear. The site didn't link me to a non-www page; I explicitly put the URL in that way to see if that was the problem.
It gets even weirder. The problem was occurring on my work computer. When I tried it with my home computer, it didn't happen. So maybe it's something with the stupid work filter that's somehow feeding me a cached copy of the page rather than going out and fetching a new one.
It looks like this one may be on me, not the site. Stand by while I experiment further...
Need to get the fix enabled in the .htaccess file. It's somewhere down in the rewrite section.
I'll dive in there next week, get that sorted.

That's what I figured. I just haven't had a chance to look at it.

Thanks for being proactive, Nestor. And thanks to KL and Imajica!
