Many Happy Returns

Heeeeey, this is pretty good. --Rosicrucian^Talk 17:15, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

It's speedier than the old server, but there's still some wonkiness. For instance, every time I tried editing just this section I got a blank page, but editing the whole page seems to have worked. Also, I keep getting logged out. --Jeysie 18:00, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

I can't even log in. What's going on? -- SFH (cannot log in) 18:01, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm thinking there may be some wonkiness related to cookies made before, or even during the transition. I did get some "session data lost" messages, but after a log out and a log back in, that seems to be resolved.--Rosicrucian^Talk 18:06, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

So what exactly do I have to do to be able to log in? -- SFH (desperately trying to log in) 18:19, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

You could try clearing your cache and deleting your cookies and see if that helps. Other than that, I'm not sure what to suggest. --Jeysie 18:23, 26 May 2009 (EDT)--Jeysie 18:23, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

What are you getting when you try to log in? A blank page? An error message? --abates 18:32, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". Does that help? -- SFH (unable to log in) 19:00, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Welp, I'm on firefox, and I'm logged in, and I'm only editing this section and it's displaying right, so... I'm happy! /:) - Chris McFeely 19:08, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, I tried Firefox, and it's working, but still not on Internet explorer. -- SFH 19:19, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Tried here with IE6. No problems logging in, but when I attempted to log out, I got a "Cannot find server or DNS Error" error. The second logout attempt worked, but then when I went to log in again, I got the same error.

Deleting the tfwiki cookie fixed the problem and I was able to log in. In fact now I'm not having any problem at all logging in and out on IE6. The sidebar on the login pages appears messed up in IE though (tis cutting off in the middle of the navigation menu). --abates 19:39, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

What is this "Internet Explorer" you speak of? Is it a 3rd party browser? -Derik 19:37, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm getting a lot of "The requested URL could not be retrieved" messages, and the occasional blank page or "loss of session data", myself. - Magnus Maximus 19:47, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

I occasionally get the message: Sorry! We could not process your edit due to a loss of session data. Please try again. If it still doesn't work, try logging out and logging back in. - Starfield 20:13, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

So do I. And I did delete my tfwiki cookie, but I still get internet explorer cannot display the webpage. This is getting rediculous. -- SFH 20:18, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

I have problems logging in, logging out and displaying the lefthand navigation and the user controls on top for the Recent Changes page: [1] --Detour 20:36, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

That happens on other pages too, as it turns out. Like the new Nexus Maximus image, or Cryotek (TransTech). --Detour 20:41, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Trying to search for (not "Go" to) splinter or terms containing it such as splinter timeline gives a white screen of death. Also had trouble saving this post due to "a loss of session data". Trying hitting "Show preview" before "Save page" to see if that works... [And shouldn't this be @ Transformers Wiki talk:Community Portal/Arriving2? - SanityOrMadness

Ask and ye shall etc. etc.--Rosicrucian^Talk 21:36, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Searching for "splinter" works for me! --abates 21:42, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Still not working for me, and no number of Shift-F5 or Ctrl-F5 forced refreshes is making it so. - SanityOrMadness 21:47, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

So, I'm getting no top or side bars (including the discussion/edit/history part up top), and there's incomplete wikicode showing up at the bottom of this specific page. --Detour 21:50, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, I'm getting that too - that means the page isn't fully loading, since they're at the bottom of the HTML. I can't get Unicron to fully load even the text for love nor money, and Optimus Prime (G1) is even worse. And I'm getting those "loss of session data" messages about a fifth of the time, meaning I have to (re-)preview or show changes, then save. - SanityOrMadness 22:34, 26 May 2009 (EDT)

Unicron works for me, but not Optimus. I'm wondering if these problems are caused not by MediaWiki, but by Squid, which we're using for caching. --abates 00:05, 27 May 2009 (EDT)

It definitely IS problems with Squid, not MediaWiki itself; right now I'm really uncertain as to what's causing them. Unfortunately I can't just disable Squid, since the wiki buckles massively under the pressure without it. I'm trying to look into it, it's baffling, because the issues are seemingly at random. --Suki Brits 00:34, 27 May 2009 (EDT)
