Hi Folks,

If you run into problems saving a trip report, let me know.

A few people have ran into issues posting trip reports where they experience a long delay in the saving of the report and eventually they just get back an error message or timeout.

start techno babble:
The general cause of this is there is firewall protection against hackers who attempt to corrupt the database of internet sites. This firewall looks for keywords which might imply such a message is a hacking attempt. Having certain words in a trip report in sequence such as "create", "where", "select", "into", "insert", etc, trigger the issue and the page doesn't come back with a nice friendly message either.

"Wait a minute Adam" -- how did you just type those words in sequence in this message? Adam - I used some html trickery.

Adam,

Can you say how to find a trip report you saved for future editing? I'm probably dense, but can't seem to find a way to keep editing something I started earlier today.

UPDATE - never mind. Got it. Go to my.bwca.com and find the link.

Adam, I finished my trip report and selected publish but it's telling my my trip report is not complete enough to view. Yet it still published 2 threads for my report, both are unviewable??? Everything is completed. Any help??!! Thanks!

Hi Folks,

I have resolved another issue with trip reports which appeared to be happening to people in firefox. Let me know if your trip reports now save or if you run into other issues.

This may have also made images not come through properly in firefox.

Adam,

I am trying to post a trip report and some (though not all) of my photobucket images won't publish (it says they are deleted or unavailable). I checked my photobucket account and all images are current -and even are up just fine on another forum.

I have reposted the html code for the suspect images, but I still have the same problem. Any help?

Thanks!

Adam,

I just posted day one of a six day trip and when I viewed it afterward it shows day one twice and that the trip is twelve days.

About mid-day the "save photo" feature began to "hang up." I just tried it again at 3 PM CDT and it still does not work. --Gary

Tried switching to IE browser (I always use Firefox) but results were the same. Photo will not "save." (Wow it's interesting how different the report looks when viewed in another browser.) Oh well . . . I'll try again tomorrow, maybe. --Goose

Photo save worked fine early this morning. Go figure. Was able to complete the report, finally. --OGG

How do you enter an em dash into your trip reports? I inserted em dashes in microsoft word but they wouldn't appear in the trip report when I copy and pasted the text.

Adam,

Why won't my new report save a title? I have tried and tried to give it a title but it won't take one.

Adam, My trip report in-the-works(unpublished)* shows all my photos small size with the text, but at day 7 they stop being able to be opened in large format, and when you mouse over them you get nothing. I tried some things on my end, but problem still exists. Any suggestions? --OGG

Hey Admin Adam,
I don't exactly see how to enter a trip report in the trip report contest. Are all trip reports published during a month entered for that month's trip report contest?
Thanks

Adam, I finished a TR and published it but it didn't link to the TR page. Can you link it for me?

Hi

I would like to create a trip report but I am unsure how to go about doing so. Should I just include the report in the same way I am entering this message? Or is there a way to create the link that every trip report has? Can you please provide a step by step guide on how to do this? I am sure it is simple enough but I don't want to paste my entire trip report in the body of the message. Thanks in advance.

Just above the trip report forum page you will see a link for 'Create Trip Report" That should show you the way.

Adam, as a feature request, would this be possible: Have the board automatically include the EP# in the trip report subject line? It would make browsing for reports by EP easier.

Is there some other way to easily browse reports via EP# that I'm missing?

When the web site clean-up and archiving was done a couple months ago, were the trip reports shortened? I just read mine and the last half or so is now missing. Any reason for this? Just curious. Can I edit the missing part back in?
Thanks

Just checked some others and there are some a lot longer with write-ups and pictures so now I am really wondering what happened to my report. I will try to re-do it later this evening and hopefully it all works. Very strange.

I have an unpublished Man Chain report that does not show my additions after part way through Day 6. I just spent an hour or so adding Day 7, but it won't show. What's up? --Goose

Just tried again to cut/paste 2 paragraphs onto what I had saved before and only 3 sentences were added. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. --Goose

I published my first blog today and it's showing 3 reports on the messageboard - is there a way to delete two of them?
