My Subscribed Threads Disappeared!?!

[Einan]

Mods,

If anyone can help me with this, I'd be ever so grateful! Whenever I try to see my subscribed threads, I get this:

"Warning: require_once(DIR/includes/functions_user.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /subscription.php on line 58

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_user.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /http/subscription.php on line 58"

Help!

I get the same error when attempting to subscribe to a new thread.

Email notification *appears* to be working, at least as well as it ever has for me (I've been reasonably sure I miss some notifications).

I"m having the same problem too.

It's a known issue, however all resources are being focused on getting ENW2 out the door. Therefore, it is not slated to be fixed before the launch. ENW2 should does have working subscriptions.

...and to think I came in here with this in my copy buffer

Warning: require_once(DIR/includes/functions_user.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /subscription.php on line 58

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'DIR/includes/functions_user.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /http/subscription.php on line 58

Note that if you check out the EN World II preview you can see the subscribed threads are working there. You can even get to all your old subscribed threads (at least as they stood on 12/28/07) over there if you have some you'd like to check up on. You can find it here:

This is exactly the useful information I was hoping to find here when I came looking! Thanks!

Anytime. Necessity is the mother of invention. I've been struggling with this crap for weeks now and that's the best I've been able to do. The other trick is to edit your profile. You don't have to make any changes, but once you save you'll see all your subscribed threads that have had recent activity. Just keep refreshing periodically or re-edit and you'll stay fairly current. It isn't foolproof and I miss a few threads, but it is better than nothing.

Many of my subscribed threads are subscribed for informational/archive reasons, and not because they are having any sort of continuing conversation. The "Locations in the Abyss" thread, for example. So what I have done is go to the preview site, and copy out all the thread# ID's so that I can re-subscribe them once the migration is done and settles out.

As long as the ID#'s don't change (and all the threads survive the migration), I'm good!

Perhaps a high-profile notice might be put somewhere for others interested in saving their subscriptions before its too late (if there is a chance that they might be lost in the final migration).

Yeah, it is a good idea to save subscriptions. The breakdown of the system has been especially hard on frequent play by post gamers. I went and created a signature page for all the games I'm involved in, so that I would be able to pick up where I left off if something unfortunate happens with the migration. See the bottom of my first post in this thread for an example of how this might be done if anyone is interested. There is no reason you couldn't create such a signature page for any threads not just games.

Off topic for a moment. I used to visit Maldin's Greyhawk frequently when I was running and playing in Greyhawk games. I'm glad to see it is still around. Excellent site! It is good to see folks keep to the old world alive. Any word on what might happen to Greyhawk in 4th edition? I sort of got the impression it would not be the default world any more.
