Commenter Check-In: Please Send Any Bugs You Might Be Dealing With My Way


A question from behind the curtain: Have you been having issues with logging into your commenter account over the past few weeks? If so, could you either try to leave a comment here (I have to readmit everyone again so as to evade spammers) or drop an e-mail to mauraATidolatorDOTcom outlining your problem? (You can also look here if you’re the sort who likes to kick tires before heading out to the repair shop.) We’ve had some lost passwords in the switch to our new backend, and I figure the calm before the storm of Danny Gokey taking on Terence Trent D’Arby is a good time to sort out as many issues as possible. Thank you! (For the benefit of the people reading this who are commenting without incident, here is a cute song with the word “bug” in the title.) [YouTube]

    I had problems a week or so ago. I had reset my password, because you said we should or something, and from then it took me about four or five password resets until it actually worked. Since then, I haven’t logged out, mainly because I’m not sure how easy it’ll be to log back in.

    The system logged me out. Instead of putting in the last “new” password, i just requested another one. Have had no other problems. I use firefox 3.0.10.

    i’m getting this crazy error on my “user activity” page:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userphoto() in /autofs/isilon1/idolator/idolator.com/htdocs/wp-content/themes/idolator/sidebar-community.php on line 7

    i’d like to be able to change my password in the near future. the old one that had been mailed to me a couple of weeks ago wasn’t working today, so now i’ve got a brand new one that was mailed to me.

    Yay, Lovebug!!

    Oh, and comment-wise, I’m cool.

    P.S. Their new song is out today. “Paranoid”. Perhaps also appropriate for such obnoxious technical difficulties. ;)

    similar problems to those above.

    last week i couldn’t log back in with the password i had been given, so i had to reset it. so far it’s been working fine.

    On the right side of my profile page where I should have all my options I just have:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userphoto() in /autofs/isilon1/idolator/idolator.com/htdocs/wp-content/themes/idolator/sidebar-community.php on line 7

  7. by sicksteanein at 2:45 pm

    I can’t change anything in my profile due to this error that appears where all my options should be:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userphoto() in /autofs/isilon1/idolator/idolator.com/htdocs/wp-content/themes/idolator/sidebar-community.php on line 7

  8. by sicksteanein at 2:46 pm

    I get a fatal error on my profile page where my options should be.

  9. by sicksteanein at 2:47 pm

    PS I’d paste it but something in the error itself prevents my comment from posting.

    It starts like this:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userphoto()

  10. by ObtuseIntolerant at 2:53 pm

    I am getting this on the user page, myself:

    “Fatal error: Call to undefined function: userphoto() in /autofs/isilon1/idolator/idolator.com/htdocs/wp-content/themes/idolator/sidebar-community.php on line 7″

  11. by ObtuseIntolerant at 2:54 pm

    @sicksteanein: Oh yes, I am getting that too, on the user page.

  12. by MayhemintheHood at 2:58 pm

    I’m gettting an error that says “Fatal error: Jonas Brothers call to undefined lack of talent: kill yourself function: /songswritten4tenYO’s/horrible-content/sum community likes=doing many 7″ lines of coke/smoking crack

    I no longer have a username, and all my little extras (avatar, etc.) have been lost. I was previously “aurallyfit.”

  14. by Poubelle at 3:46 pm

    Instead of a profile page, I get this (no, seriously–I think because it’s trying to go to the URL idolator.com/people, maybe?). I also don’t have name–that is, it just says I’m “Logged in as .” and “welcome, !” on top. I’ve had the same password issues as MayhemintheHood and drinkypuss. And I’ve either just doubleposted or it ate my last comment. :(

    At least as long as I stay logged in, it’s not too much trouble, though.

    I lost my original account (DeadlyTango) entirely — couldn’t reset password and kept getting “no cookies error” even after cleaning out my browser numerous times.

    Creating a new account seems to have worked, but I have the same right-side error others reported and can’t change my password to something I can actually remember.

    I’ve yet to see nude photos of Joe Jonas on this site. Could you fix that, Maura?

  17. by Alfred B Sure at 6:43 pm

    Not to say the same thing that everyone else has been saying, but I’ve been having computer troubles lately, and there’s just no way I can remember my wordpress assigned password as I move from machine to machine. Being able to set my own password would be super great.

    Also I just tried to upload a profile pic, and that doesn’t seem to work.
