I've noticed some XHRs fail from the site when the user is at www.onemoreinthetolly.com instead of onemoreinthetolly.com or vice versa - the site thinks it's a cross domain call and rejects it because the right CORS headers aren't there.

You might see this with "quick reply" features, quotes, and adding rep - pretty much any JavaScript-based operation that doesn't reload the page.

I was able to resolve it temporarily by switching from the www. to the non-www. URL the other day, which allowed me to add +1 to Chili after the main page had fucked up for some reason.

The forum probably thought you were drunk and just ignored you. ;D

😆

Have the same problem I think, 99% of the time the rep function doesn't work.

Burnwinter

😆 Yeah wouldn't be hard to fix, just have to add a couple of headers to the site or correct a base URL somewhere in MyBB's settings.

Here's the CORS error:

The current theme also has a broken jQuery reference somewhere in there which might even relate to this issue.

That's very interesting Burnsy, thanks for the great read. I liked especially the part where I didn't understand anything

Rex

😆 Know exactly how you feel there, Jones!

That is a weird thing.
I am able to give reputation if i dont use www in the URL.

I just experienced this too when I was trying to give you some rep. The weird thing is that all the other javascript-based functions work for me. I don't think I've ever written a post using anything but the quick reply box.

Burnwinter

It's probably something as simple as the wrong URL being configured for that particular XHR.

It can either be fixed at the call site (by changing the URL that gets called to use the host part of window.location), or by adding Access-Control-Allow-Origin: www.onemoreinthetolly.com and other appropriate CORS headers to the web server configuration.

For so long the reps function for me didn't work till I saw BW post. Thanks for that.

first post since the forum coming back . 😉

Pep, I'd be more than willing to chip in with a few bob if you want to expand the bandwidth quota.

Pepe LeFrits

Cheers Rex but it shouldn't an issue, it looks as though MSN's web crawler bot has been hammering the site for the last couple of months and increasing the bandwidth usage. I've blocked the bot now so hopefully that'll solve it.

Burnwinter

Probs ought to sort out some sort of regime so we don't end up with a week long outage next time a bot gets frisky.

flobaba

Took you long enuff Peppy

Pepe LeFrits

The outage is because we have a monthly quota and once it's exceeded the site goes down until the next month; couldn't do much once it was exceeded...

The bot accesses the site all the time and gradually eats the bandwidth so I can monitor it, it's not like it appears suddenly and eats 200gb in a day.

Burnwinter

Fair enowt.

Rex

This time, since the site was down for a few days, I have come to question if I am too reliant on this brilliant place. Despite knowing, sort of, that the site wouldn't come back online until today, I found myself double checking at least a couple of times a day. Like some sort of junkie jonesing for a fix. 🙂

QuincyAbeyie

It's been horrible. I've found myself refreshing the site all the time. During the Burnley match I had to read the AM match thread. The AM match thread!

Daz

I wonder what Jones has been doing with all his spare time over the last few days.
