I've noticed that I get a 'connection timed out!' message alert when I run into that problem. Doing it again right now.

This is a tough one .. I can't for the life of me recreate this.

Can anyone else try this to see if they can recreate?

I wonder if there is a bug since you are a mod. If any other mods are using the app, give it a shot and see if it happens.

Not sure if you are fimilar with any of the logging applications (aLogCat, CatLog, etc), but you could try and grab some logs for me the next time it happens (you can filter the logs by 'com.normalexception' and it should only show logs from the app)

In the interim I am working on creating an option to get some logs from the app so that users that experience issues can directly email me some logging information. Lets see what I can come up with. Will keep you posted.

Btw for those who do want to grab some logs for me of a bug that I have trouble reproducing, or that hasn't been fixed yet, you can easily do so with logcat based applications. I don't include any persistant logging in my application and instead rely on android's logcat (number of reasons on this, main one being android security model) so you will have to rely on a third party app and root privs (if you have android 4+)

Anyway, here is an example of the output from CatLog with "com.normalexception" entered in the search field.

Now granted there is no error in the log trace above, I have desiged the application to log important (non-sensitive) data. As an aside, here is how you can understand these logs:

Quote:

The application package name is "com.normalexception.forum.rx8club". Therefore any class that is within the app will start with that package name. This will make it nice and easy to filter logcat's for the logs relevant to the application

Quote:

All log cat entries start with the logging level. They are as follows:

V/ (verbose)
D/ (debug)
I/ (information)
W/ (warning)
E/ (error)

K, made life easier. Now all logging is done to a file instead of the main system buffer (logcat). In the preferences you can now export that log file, so you can email it to yourself, or to me, etc.

I use it in "offline" mode and receive reports via smtp. In my last use case it made no sense to do an apache/couch back end. If I did have always on I'd definitely go that route though.

Will have to check out bugsense..

Bugsense is really nice, the free version is all you need. It's perfect for a project like this imo.

you have to setup your own couchdb instance and populate it from their remote DDL or w/e it is called in the couch world.

I thought about just doing the gdocs thing but since it's clearly near EOL and I'd have to build my own queuing agent I said screw it and let email clients do what they do best… queue up outbound mail

Checking out bug sense now.

Other than that it's been solid for me!

Hey there, thanks for making note of this. This one is soemthing I will need to work on. Basically the reason you are seeing this is because there actually arent any threads in the vendor forums:

Vendor Forums - RX8Club.com

Instead that forum is filled with sub-forums for each vendor. To access these sub-forums, long press the vendor section in the app. A pop up will display all of the available sub-forums

I've noticed quite a few blank posted with nothing but the app's signature recently. You may want to add a check to make sure the post being submitted has content? The forum won't catch it due to the signature inserted by the app.

I get a 'connection timed out' message trying to open the thread. maybe a problem loading a link or pic that crashes the load? I exported a log file, though you may want to make it easier to send logs. of the available options, only texting it to my work email seems to work.

It also appears that posting in a subscribed thread via this app removes the subscription. This thread's subscription for example...

Ok thanks for reporting the subscription issue! Just found the problem and I believe I fixed it. Will also work on a better way to submit the error log.

Nevermind on the log option working. How can i get to it with my phone hooked up to my PC via USB? None of the export options that pop up work. It apparently strips the file on one end or the other as being risky?

I submitted a log last night with the new option, and my sent box has the file attached correctly.

Same problem that I have been seeing with the timed out message on a partial thread page load. I see plenty of errors from the first connection attempts, which is normal for me if I jump around between connection sources between times that i open the app (like between wifi in the office, cell walking to the subway, no signal in the subway, new tower out the other end, then no signal on another train, then another new tower out the other end)

No errors shown with what I'm seeing though. It was at the end of here:

Without thinking about it, I deleted the post that was causing me problems this morning, since it triggered a number of newbies all making their first post in the thread asking troubleshooting questions.

The log goes back to Jan 20th, so it covers the previous bug reports above too.
