Hello.

Further to the problems we were having a few weeks ago, we've been working on a new system architecture and it's now (I think) ready for some load testing.

Functionally we've been using it for the last week, and it's identical to the live site: running from the same databases (so the bulletin boards on it have live data, and any posts made to them appear on the main site etc etc)

If you would like to test this new site, you'll need to do the following:
Delete your MoneyAM cookies from your browser (in Firefox you can do that from the Tools/Options/Privacy menu, in IE the easiest way is to 'delete cookies' from the Tools / Internet options menu (note: you'll delete all your cookies this way!))
Point your web browser to: http://test.moneyam.com/
Start using that site.


The deleting of your MoneyAM cookies is vital, else you won't be able to log into the new site (you'll keep getting directed back to the login screen).

Also, if you then want to start using the main site again (http://www.moneyam.com), you'll need to go through the delete cookies routine again. Due to them running different software versions, the cookies are not compatiable.

If this sounds like I'm trying to put you of testing, then I'm sorrry, but I need to make the limitations clear to mitigate lots of questions along those lines.

If you do decide to test the new site, please post below so I know you're doing it and post any feedback that you may have (any errors you get for instance)

Many thanks,
J.

Ps: this post was created on the test site, as proof they're running on the same backend databases.

MegaBucks,

It looks like you've only got popups enabled for www.moneyam.com and not test.moneyam.com

I've tested the 'N' flag on RTR using FF with the popup blocked completely disabled and it's fine...

Jon,

That would be it then. I did invoke stockwatch, but it was early today.

Cheers

D.

Still get those boxes around stockwatch and the ads

Errrrm...What's going on here? What's happened to my web site?

Iain,

'still'? I can't see where you've complained about it on this thread? Could you post a screenshop please, I think I may be missing something :)

thanks,

J.

Indeedy JT - sounds like you're a few window displays short of a screenshop :)

chocolat,

It was on the bugs thread.Others have the same problem
"Not sure if its an unintended bug or a clever enhancement, but.......
When i open Stockwatch and roll my mouse over the watch list, the list gets surrounded by a hatched line. If i then click anywhere on the list it automaticly centres itself on screen. Saves me having to scroll, but I've never seen it before."

Iain,

That sounds like it may be a feature of the JVM or something, it's not something that I've seen anywhere.

Very bizarre. What java virtual machine and version are you running?

J.

Um, that hatched line and centering behaviour, isn't that something to do with a recent upgrade "enhancement" to IE? (Iain, I assume you're using IE . . .)

Yes. IE7

Hello,

If any other users want to try out our new test system, please follow the instructions in the first post and let me know how you get on!

J.

J,seems stable,using it on IE and FireFox on Win2k and Xp.

Mega...

Jon,

Been using it with Opera 8.54 as well the last few days on Win XP and no problems seen (not that I really expected any).

D.

MB/MM

Thanks for that.

I've just forced a logout to everyone on this server, so that one was expected :)

J.

all,

I've just put in code which will stop sessions from expiring if you only view PHP pages on the site.

Please let me know if you still get the logout issues after 4 hours or so.

Many thanks,
Jonathan.

Hello,

We're looking like we'll be going live with the new system this weekend. If more users would like to follow the instructions in the first post and use http://test.moneyam.com as their primary site for the next few days it would aid our load testing.

Thanks,
J.

I'm not 100% thrilled about deleting ALL my cookies to try the new site.

Can you please advise which specific MoneyAM cookies are to be deleted and I will find them and then just delete those.

J,i aint deleted no cookies yet,if aint broke i dont fix it,its working fine on 4 puters :-)

DocProc,

They are the cookies named JSESSIONID for any of the moneyam.com domains (www.moneyam.com, moneyam.com etc etc)

HTH,
J.
