Search results

the screenshot system is not perfect, sometimes it just produces a black screen for no good reason. This has been the case on every windows server we have tried. We will work on finding a solution to this in the future, but for now re-rendering is the solution. If you can check your...

Can you check with your host? perhaps they can give some clues. Intermittent internal server (500) errors are a result of something on your server

Correct. "Top skin" is only applied to first page, there is no reason to show lower ranking members on lower pages using a top skin.

Sounds like an issue with brute force prevention, perhaps something was missed during the upgrade. Please send me FTP login & URL to your list

That sounds like a different issue, white page is a suppressed PHP error. Try upgrading to the latest version (beta 2) if you haven't already and see if that fixes it. If it persists, send me FTP login & URL to your list

Indeed, while this is trivial to remove, I suppose we can save a step and make that change beforehand. :) Thanks for thr suggestion, consider it done.

Search function and other sort options will be back soon :) The old system was quite nice, but unfortunately suffered from too many bugs for users in other languages so we had no choice but to remove it and start again.

thanks Mark

PHP imagegrabwindow() invoking COM to open internet explorer and take the screenshot.

This could be a plugin (a mod for this already exists for Aardvark) but will not make the cut as a core feature. Search clouds only link to search results pages, search results pages are not the best place to be passing pagerank, and Google does not want to be indexing a bunch of your sites...

You will need to re-render the individual ones that failed. For whatever reason none of the 3 different windows servers we have setup for screenshots are 100% perfect.

Testing in XP now, brb :) Update, nope. All good in XP

If screenshot renders black, try again. If they all render black 100% of the time, then the windows server may need restart. But first, try re-rendering them.
