Odd SA Ning behavior

Not sure if this is just me... But for the last week or so the https://studioartist.ning.com/ forum site has been acting very strangely.

On entering the page the image gallery appears as usual - but the discussions are WAY down below the fold. The gallery then refreshes and either jumps to the column on the left or disappears... At the same time the discussions way down go further down. With each refresh, the discussions go deeper south. There are a couple other oddities with user icons floating around over the central column as well. Everything still works - just the layout is broken.

This happens on Mac Mojave, Safari and Chrome and Firefox... if not the latest versions very close to the latest.

  • I had reported this to Ning as a bug. They told me they fixed it. And to reset my browser cache for the new changes they made to take effect. I'm seeing the same thing here again as you reported.

    Guess there are still issues with what they are doing. I will bug them again about it.

    • The still art gallery is actually refreshing into a new position with each image. Progressively going to the left side of the screen and down the depth of each image - which is forcing down the discussions with each refresh. Since it happens on all my browsers and happens even after I blow away caches... I am thinking its a pretty basic functional issue.

      • Thanks for the info. Will pass it on to Ning. Doubt anyone will read it there before jan 2.

  • Craig, how is the user forum displaying for you now?

    If it's still acting weird, try logging out and then try again.

    • It was still glitching when I hit the site. But on logout/log in it is fixed.

      That's a seriously odd way to fix an error like that. LOL!

      Back to normal on Safari at any rate!

      Happy New Year!

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor

The Overload

"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…

Teenage Tongue Cult

Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…
