You are being very patient! I have been gone for the last week but I see your problems are still there. I really do believe we are looking at some kind of environmental issue here as last time I looked everything seemed to be set up correctly. And I feel pretty sure all of these issues – including the attachments issue – will come down to a single cause if we can but find it.

I am going to ask Steve to take a look this time and I note you have sent him a PM with credentials. Maybe he canm spot something I can’t.

Just wanted you to know you are not being ignored.

A great week in Venice. Wall to wall sun. Great hotel. Fascinating place. What more could I ask for!

so since the account you sent us has very limited access, a couple questions…  what version of php are you running?  and what flavor (ie cgi, dso, etc)?

it seems to be dorking with $_GET and $_POST variables…  and doing some odd redirects… are you forcing any kind of redirection?  ie in your .htaccess or other?

is there any particular reason why you are running with the ugly default permalinks (also bad for SEO)?  any chance that you could do a temp switch to a custom, friendly permalink and see if that makes any difference?

Hi – I will send you admin access as well as contents of my htaccess file via PM. There is another line in there that might have something to do with it?

Here’s the PHP info…and yes, am willing to switch to seo friendly permalink; let me know if you still need me to try that (and how to do) after looking at this info, plus contents of the PM.

one thing missing from that short list perhaps you can check on… is php running in safe mode by any chance?

oh, I should also mention that I am not having any issue editing posts… edit is working fine for me tonight…. can you check?

Which post did you edit?

And I also noticed that forum/member stats are not showing up on the forum and it’s not showing any names under Moderators/Administrators…could this be related?

Did you manage to find out abut the php ‘safe mode’ question?

I was able to edit about a dozen different posts…  I did not save any of them, but the problem before was getting the edit page/window to come up…

I was able to confirm that we are not running php in safe mode.

I’m just perplexed because I tried this from home as well and was not able to edit any posts.

odd things continue…

I fixed your stats…  your cron jobs were not running…

I was also able to upload a pdf file but it had to be same time as an image…  we have already fixed this problem with the other file uploads not showing in the next version of the file uploader plugin…  It should release in conjunction with 5.1 on the 31st of May…  If you do not want to wait until then, I would need ftp access to your site to fix up that one section now…

As to editing, a bit confused…  1st night I could not edit..  2nd night I could edit…  3rd night I could edit… tonight, I cannot edit again…  so not sure what is going on other than something on your server is dorking with the post and get requests…

is this linux or IIS server?  sorry if it was earlier…

and there now appears to be an issue on your site…  see PM for resolution…

Thank you – everything is working now! Updating to the recent Simple Press release (plugins too) fixed my problem.
