Earlier today, the forum software version being used by kivafriends.org was upgraded to the most recent version of SMF (1.1.11). The upgrade went fairly smoothly, and did fix some possible security problems (which several members had run into recently).
However, it appears that KF Chat is currently not functioning properly. Members entering the chatroom will not see any controls, and even after signing out, will appear as a ghost until someone else signs in. I'll post here again once it is working as usual.
If you run into any other problems while visiting the site, please let me know, either by PM or by posting them here, and I'll get them on the list of things to look into. Thanks for your patience.
--Diane.

Afternoon update: - Still no change on the KF chatroom problems, but they're being looked into.
- The "Most Popular Thread (as of now)" indicator has been removed. It was an add-on to the forum software, and after the upgrade it was no longer compatible. Instead, the previous 15 most recent posts are listed in the "Community Information Center" section at the bottom of the main KF page (increased from 10).

Is anyone else having an issue using "Show all recent posts on Kiva Friends"? The first page appears fine, it shows the last 10 posts, but when I move to page number 2 it skips me down several posts. I'm not sure if this is related to my forum settings or the upgrade...

Yes, that is happening for me, too -- page 2 skips three posts.

EDIT: Should be fixed now, thanks!

Hey everyone - there was an issue with sessions and cookies that started early this morning. It should be fixed now and posting/logging out/in should be working again. Sorry about that! As Diane mentioned above, the forum was upgraded over the weekend. Hopefully this will be the last of the glitches (chat room is still being checked into as well!)
Hope you're all doing well.
Joe

We often consider all the things that do work right as "normal", and then wonder about the things that don't. Thanks, Joe and Diane (and whoever else in the background), for so much "normal" so much of the time. Dan |

- Still no change on the KF chatroom problems, but they're being looked into.
After many months and several unsuccessful attempts to replace the chatroom software which no longer worked after the software upgrade, Joe and I decided that it would be best to remove the link to the chatroom. It always looked as if it was about to come up when you entered, but it never resolved and the last person entering got "stuck". If we can eventually replace the chatroom software with something else, we will. Sorry, everyone. --Diane. |

If it cannot be resolved internally, why not look for an external solution such as this: http://zippychat.com/room/4586 which could replace the destination URL of the chat room in the code. |

Something apparently has changed -- either at Kiva.org or at Kivafriends.org. When I click on the link at the top of the Kivafriends main page "My Portfolio" I get the dreaded 404 page not found message.  Anybody know what changed? Dan |

Hi Dan, I'll look into getting the links corrected here at KivaFriends. It may take me a little time but I'll target the weekend for getting it fixed up. Thanks for pointing it out, --Diane. EDIT: Is this the link you'd expect to reach from the Journals button above? |
