Title: Suggestion for the mods - also TEAM Stores
Post by: Big Beef Tacosupreme on September 05, 2017, 05:41:23 PM
Please make sure to list "Big 10 message board" somewhere... the last board was the first Google result if you searched for "Big 10 message board" -- if some are trying to find us, it would be nice to show up on the big Google.

I just thought it might drive some traffic.  ;)

i've got it set up several different ways- the metatags all have 'big ten message board' in them.  i'm still waiting for google to pick up the rich cards or rich snippets, but they are lagging.  we're climbing the list rapidly, though, which is good.  the 'publisher' is drawing the majority of search traffic, and hopefully people find us through that.  

i got the little lock of 'secure' this weekend after tracking down the last of the insecure links this weekend... the only time anyplace on the site isn't 'secure' is when pics are posted from sources that aren't encrypted.... that is huge with the search engines... 

we're getting there.  we're far beyond anything i expected from this place even knowing cfn/scout was about to crash...... i just need the store to sell some stuff to pay for it now. all in all i'm just over 5 digits into this, which is fine- so long as it comes back over the next few years.

Just tried the store and logging in to pay with Amazon and got an error that they say was on them. ??

Here's Barbie accessory cfb51; the first thing that comes up if you google it.

Is that a Barbie Sushi Dinner? 

It looks like a cutting board covered with sushi, two drinks, and two plates with chop stix to me.

well.... after that harrowing experience, i think amazon is working now.. if not, i'll unplug it and force paypal.  

and by the way @Brutis Buckeye :

^hah! no worries... they don't penalize for that, and the store will always remain secure... so... it doesn't hurt a think except for not having that little green lock up top.

Just bought that. Amazon Pay worked fine but I would honestly prefer just clicking on pay pal and having all my shit filled in for me.

thank you, Sir- and I've about had it with Amazon... they're killing me.  they gave me a link to copy and paste in the settings a few weeks back, and i followed the instructions- it's not like it's rocket science.... I've missed 14 sales because of that (according to the log).  I'd never have known it was jacked had you not mentioned it to me.  last night i had to call them and we realized the link i was supposed to copy and paste was wrong- it required a qualifier.... so- thank you hugely for mentioning that!!!

Hot damn I didn't even know about the store.  :)
Looks like I need to do some browsing.

that thing is driving me crazy, Sir... it works 'sometimes' and doesn't others... and the reason is inexplicable.  I'm sure I'm missing something with it, but what that is may be above my pay grade.

Maybe it's the browser.  I am using firefox...
Basically what happens is that I get a zoomed in view of the image file.

Just click on the link at the bottom, type "WISCONSIN" into the search box, and you'll find everything you need. :)

I'm experiencing longer than usual waits after clicking the "post" button

all other page refreshes seem fine.

Just wondering if it's something with my browser or computer or if it's a change with the server?

happening at my work computer as well

thanks

Me too.

Maybe @Drew4UTk (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1) can take a peek and see what's up.

i can do a systems update tonight when things are quiet, around 0200 or so... and that may take care of it altogether, but the reason for the wait according to the logs (i've been watching this too, and it's been going on for at least a week or so) it's 'cleantalk' that is causing it. 

somewhere in our midst there is an IP address that matches a known spammer- I don't think any of you are spammers, but i wouldn't be surprised if a)one of the dormant accounts is a spammer or b) one of your IP addresses was spoofed by a spammer, and made the list of 'known spammers'.  because of this CleanTalk pushes each and every post through a filter script before posting... it's a PITA, but it keeps the joint clean. 

I've got time this eve to filter through the user accounts and see if i see anything, and i'll reboot the server, clean up and optimize the tables- and stand by to fix anything it breaks (if anything) whilst most of y'all sleep.

i think i've arranged a few things to speed the site up... later, I'll reboot and see if they do what they're supposed to do... so... halfway there.

i went ahead and applied the updates... this is to check and see if the issue is resolved by those; because i'm lazy like that
