yes I'm afraid so.. from the security standpoint it proved better to wipe and start over .. the old system just was'nt secure enough.

Same here. It works ok with IE and FF, but shows up like that in Opera. No other PHP-based forum I frequent has this problem.

hmm interesting.. I'll pass that onto Rebekah.. I have no idea why it's doing that...

Whatever causing the issue in the first place, however, still remains. I don't want to bug about it, but a fair share of mobile phone browsers use Opera Mini. The site would remain inoperable thru these platforms (mobile phones and PDAs). Granted this may not be an issue you may want to delve right now, but the fact is that mobile browsing is going thru a booming period because internet-capable mobile phones are getting cheaper and better by the day. Just food for thought because this must be an easy-to-solve thing, otherwise Opera users would have encountered this elsewhere too.

working on it. but in the meantime there is the fix I put up.
gimme a chance eh? only 1 pair of tentacles here...
Khai posted Tue, 27 March 2007 at 9:52 AM
okies fixed now.. give it a try and tell me how it looks....

Works like a charm now. Just out of curiosity, could you reveal what the issue was and how did you fix it? (The interest is professional cause I'm a Software Designer by profession and making web apps for a living).
sixus1 posted Tue, 27 March 2007 at 5:50 PM
Khai said that it was the GZIP compression on the actual forums. He turned it off and BAM, now it works. Thanks for your patience with the fix and thanks to Khai once again finding it.

Yes it did look like outputted binary code. Opera has an advanced algorithm to determine if a connection error has taken place. It relies on content-length header that is transmitted from the server and generated by php forum software. There appears to be a bug within some php builds (or forum codes) that gzips the content okay, but reports the content-length in an incorrect way. Opera trusts this reported length, but errors out when the actual received data doesn't appear to be the same length. Forcing Opera to behave like FF or IE takes out the Opera algorithm for determining connection errors and in the end everything seems to work okay (the content-length sent by the server is being ignored by both IE and FF). I understand there are two fixes for this: 1) detecting if the browser is identified as Opera and just turning off gzipped compression for Opera and 2) updating PHP libraries that may have the content-length bug fixed.

looking into 1... but 2 is out.. fresh totally uptodate install you see.. tho, the other thing to look into, it seems that if Gzip is enabled on the Server and PHP Opera mis reads. but if it's only on for 1 (server or PHP) opera reads just fine.
but what the hay.. it's working now :)

Oh I see! Then there is no need to do anything else. One zipping is surely enough :D Glad it's resolved.
