Official NEW Junkion Exchange Support / Questions Thread

[Tony_Bacala]

I will use this first post to write out a tutorial on how to use the new Junkion Exchange.

Until I get that done (it will be long), please use this thread to post questions on it, post problems you have with it, praise it or condemn it to hell.

Thanks!

Hi Tony,

I can't post in the new Junkion as well. I'm trying to post my wants list but to no avail. After completing the form, and submitting it I get sent to here:


http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/sr_classifieds.php

It reads:

There seems to have been a problem with the TFW2005 - The 2005 Boards database.

We apologise for any inconvenience.

It's been happening since Sunday. I'll keep trying but it's exhausting ! :redface2:

Questions:

Do the pictures have to be a certain dimension? What is the optimal size?

How are others getting to post in the new JE but the majority isn't? (curious)

Still, impressed by how it all looks. Good job!

Good luck,
Retrospe><

Could you please post the text, word for word inclduing any HTML that you were using, and send the images you were trying to attach to me at tbacala@tfw2005.com

The only way for me to understand what is going wrong is to attempt to post the same thing as you were myself, because I have not got one errror using this system.

I have posted as a regular user and admin, with pics, HTML, all different types of listings, from different browsers, not one errror message.

For reference...

What speed connection are you on.

How big is the image you are uploading.

Is it a file ending in .jpg, .jpeg, or .png?

OK, I just posted this in the system:

http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/sr_classifieds.php?do=ad&id=132

This has a huge amount of text, a semi large JPG picture, and I edited it 3 times and moved it between categories. There was no HTML included however. And this was at the busiest time on the server the last 3 days.

Could you please post exactly the words you are trying to post.

Also, could you post whether or not you are using the WYSIWYG editor to type (do you have controls above your text box that let you make things bold, underlined, insert an image, etc) or is your text box just blank.

Only thing i can think of is that whatever you guys are typing is somehow changing, and when it does, is becoming invalid for the database to accept, and you are geting error messages.

Now we need to figure out whats triggering the change.

Retro, your message sounds like a general error that we get in various areas of the site during high server load, or, when too much data is passed to the server at once.

The best way for me to tell if that is true is for you to post an example of what you posted in the system which resulted in that error message.

Hit me with that, and we can go from there.

[Retrospex]

Tony,

I emailed you with the exact procedure.

Good luck,

I also get the same error message:

I use netscape navigator. I was trying to post a want ad for 2 months, no price entered and with the following title and description:

Wanted: Cybercon Expo & Identity CD's by Tony Bacala

I'm looking to buy the Cybercon Expo CD's made by Tony Bacala that were only sold at Cybercon Expo. However, I would need more information on the CD's themselves before committing to a price (i.e. tracklist, how many TF songs are on it, picture of the cover, etc). I believe there was a CD for each show:

Cybercon Expo Wave 1
Cybercon Expo Wave 2
Cybercon Expo Act 3
Cybercon Expo 2005

I'm also looking to buy the Identity CD (the one with a song for each TF show) made by Tony Bacala and Hollow (?) that was also only sold at Cybercon Expo (I forget which one). However, before committing to a price, I need to know if the sound quality on the CD is better than the downloads that were available at one time on TFW2005.
Thanks in advance.

I get this exact same error now as well. No matter what I post. Long or short body, long or short Title. I've tried 0 and 1 for the amount. No image, with image. You name it, I've probably tried it. I usually use Firefox but I fired up IE on Windows XP and get the same error message.

I was able to make ads within the first few days of the new JE, but now I am unable to.

Seems odd...

Thanks for any help!

edit: I've also tried different times of the day. All PST, late at night, miday, early morning (5:30am).

I think I figured something out. If I use an apostrophe in the title, the board database gets upset.

Example Title:

Oxidative's List

That does not work.

Oxidative List seems to work fine.

Interesting.

Ok, I'm now trying to get feedback posted for my multi-item list ad. However I can't since the ad has to be closed with the participation of the buyer. However, if it's a multi-item ad, I presumably have multiple buyers.

Is there (or is there going to be) a way to post feedback on multi-item ads? Do I need to make separate JE ads for each of my buyers, then have them respond to that ad and then leave feedback?

Just trying to figure this out. I see lots of potential for this to be super cool :)
