Support
[hr]-[/hr]I use my released mods daily, if I find an issue with them or add features for myself I will release updates. If there are significant bugs or simple feature requests I will do my best to release fixes. Some of my mods rely on fetching data from 3rd party websites, due to the unreliable results, my mods will require users to troubleshoot for themselves if they find the addon is not working for them specifically. I am offering my personal mods that work ok for me for you to use, I am sorry I do not have time to troubleshoot many user specific issues. Thank you for your understanding.

I installed the newest version and now I am getting a database error. My site will not even come up at all now. What happened? Please help!!

[Gryphon]

Well, it would certainly help to know the error. But most likely you need to upload all the files, not just update the product. But again, errors are extremely helpful in diagnosing problems. It is difficult to just guess what the problem could be.

[rweber93]

I did upload all of the files and then imported the xml with overwrite enabled. Now I just get Database Error when I go to my site. But I just did a database restore and all is back to normal now.

[Gryphon]

For me to help any further I will need to know the error.

[Bilderback]

Ive been noticing some performance issues dramatically slowing my site.
During a systems check, requests are performed to Xbox.com objects that arent even used in the product.(iframe,images,js,css,ads,etc)
Even on non-gxboxlive page loads, some IFRAME requests a very large amount of information from Xbox.com.

Do you happen to know why all these extra http requests are made and how I can begin to limit them?

As much as I love the gxboxlive product, it just bogs down the site way too much and I may have to disable it.

[Gryphon]

I am unsure, all the script fetches is http://gamercard.xbox.com/member/Username.card for each gamertag entered. I have no idea what is causing that unless you are not getting a card result when it fetches and instead some generated 404 page of some sort.

[Devil Woman]

Hi, I have just installed this on my forum and I am wondering if there is a code to add members Gamercards to the postbit legacy?

Thanks in advance.

My leaderboard seems to have got stuck at 1099 members and won't add anymore.

It also didn't update since 01.24am this morning so i have just had to run it myself but it hasn't added anymore members and i know there is more to be added ?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

XACA

[alfieuk]

Nevermind, it seems to be adding and then deleting at random times?
