boxee seems to get to forums and log in ok but it wont read any threads(havn't got time for a log, going out for the day now)

Thanks for the log. Fixed the bug and found some others. The generic browser and the boxee browser share a lot of the same code, so some of my changes can affect boxee, which is what happened here.

also avatars in PM box is a bit strange, mine displays if I send myself a pm, but not in the sent to others

If you'll notice, I have the user and avatar of who the PM is sent to. This is perhaps a little confusing if you compare it to the actual forum in a browser. There are two reasons why they are shown this way. One is that, without modification, the interface doesn't have any other place to put the 'to' user(s) and the second is that I didn't see a reason to show the name and avatar of the sender since you know your own name and what your avatar looks like
What I think I'll do is ad "To: " before the name.

also the green light is on in some of your sent to me PM's & is not in other pm's that you have sent to me

ie my sent pm box on some of your sent to me pm's is telling me your online some are saying your offline, when actually according to the thread your offline.

Yeah, for some reason the data that comes with the other boxes for online status is not correct. I thought I had accounted for that, but I guess not.

Done some more testing.

I've been through all the forums on the online database all 89 of them.

eek

And I'd say about 12% of them are a little problematic, whether it be the forum is no longer available or Json errors etc.

Which means 88% work. Woohoo, a passing grade!

Anyway here is a link with an individual log and screenshot of the errors
I think users are adding the forums to the online database without trialing them first, I wonder if the option to "Add to the online database" after a forum has been tapatalk & forumrunner verified could be removed and a confirmation/info message to add to online database once happy it's working, or do you think people wouldn't bother or remember to add to the online database with this method.

All the errors occur on changing to said forums and then them failing to load except the citybug.com error which is "bad boolean value" this one is from digging down to threads.
Something extra to get your teeth into

Checked out the logs:

tibimate.li and capestowners.co.za: This showed I needed to handle some errors returned from the tapatalk plugin. I added that, and now it shows a message in spanish (same in both) which translates in Google as: "Remember, this forum is in 'Maintenance Mode'"

tapatalk.com is now support.tapatalk.com which is why it gives the moved permanently error. Perhaps I should handle this error with a message. Added to todo.

homebrewtalk.com, digital-forums.com: it appears they removed forumrunner or that the forumrunner plugin is broken on this site (there is still the mobile javascript in the page that tells your phone to use the app) but the plugin doesn't seem to be accessible. Added handling this sort of issue to the todo.

holidaytruths.co.uk: Like homebrewtalk, has the javascript but doesn't work. Shows in a search on my phone but doesn't work there either. Added a todo for handling the 'Not Found' error this generates. This is a 'contact the forum admin if this problem persists' type error.

avforums.com: no javascript on the page, but a search of the forum says they have forumrunner (well their own app based on forum runner) not sure the issue here. As with all these forums, they couldn't have been added unless there was a plugin responding at one point.

a4-freunde.com: looks like they switched to tapatalk. I should make a way to update the database when this is the case. Added to the todo.

debian.linux.pl: Was a bug with encoding (forumrunner). Fixed for next update.

citybugclub.nl: Works on phone. Have to look into it. Some sort of parsing error.

fss support forums: error is due to missing name. Aaarrrghh... with the missing names. I thought I fixed that. Maybe it slipped in after I edited the database but before I 'fixed' the bug. I'll edit the database, and let me know if you see any more show up without names.
