Well, some of us don't believe in open saucers either and use a scandinavian quality product instead.

:shrug: I am ambivalent about Opera. What are its advantages?

Uhm guys, where can I change the forum skin?

I'm afraid you can't do that, Dave.

Dave?

Dave who?

I haven't read this thread, so my apologies if this has already been stated, but I notice there's no "User CP", or its equivalent. I'm using Safari.

It's the "settings" button on the top right.

I curious why whenever you have more than a few sentences in a post, the forum makes the lines 8-10 words long and leaves a bit blank space out to the right. It looks weird to me at least.

Please hurry up with the forum skin/s, this one hurts my eyes.

A couple of issues.

1. The page title doesn't include the page number any more, just the thread title.
2. I hate the new default skin. I want something with plainer looks and bigger, clearer text.

I'd like to know what causes this as well. There's a couple of long post in the EB forum that have this problem, and a number that don't. I thought that it could be fixed by editing a post, but when I rechecked the thread the problem is back.

I have the feeling that the layout is depends on which way of replying to a thread I use. Whenever I use the quickanswer button and have a big field to write my answer with, the text goes to the edge of the screen, whenever I use the smaller field in the 'go advanced' page, it is cut earlier though I did not set a return at that point. :shrug:

Does anybody understand what I mean?

:yes: I shall try it out.

One annoying thing I've experienced twice now. When typing out a post don't dally. Anything that takes more than 5 - 10 minutes of idle time seems to cause an auto log out. When you finally hit the submit button you are no longer logged in, you get the guests must register/log in to post message. Worst of all, what you just labored at to type is lost.

Clear your cookies on Firefox.

Are you checking the "Remember Me" box when you log in? It is defaulting to no right now, which I think logs you out after a few minutes of idle.

Odd, because that was a problem I had thought the upgrade had fixed.

Yeah, I had to log in ever time before, but after the upgrade, I am always remembered.

Then again, I had no problems with this before that time I cleared some of my cookies...

Yes, I have checked that box everytime I log in and cookies are enabled.

Clear them all first. I had your problem for ages, until I cleared cookies.

I like this new forum look. ~:)

same like me, the Guild did'nt remembered me, and I logged out automaticly after I closed my browser tab, or stay idle for too long

Gaius, your signature is far too big. Give that Jedi the chop. It takes up half the screen.

Yeah, I was wondering if the limitations had changed.
Size and dimensions are too large.

I've found something interesting.

Yes, it's doing that when cramped. I recall having seen such behaviour years ago too. Not sure whether I changed something somewhere back then or whether Jelsoft fixed the code.

Yeah, just thought it looked funny not a big deal.

Will the Reply All button return at some point on the PMs? I just noticed it was missing.

I hate to be an impatient pizza guy, but I am also looking forward to having some non-default skins. This hurts my eyes and is very unpleasant.

Sorry! Sorry... :sad face:

Is there any way to automatically add a confirmation receipt to a PM, or do I have to remember to tick the box every time?

ETA on when we get back the old templates for the forum? im getting tired of this bland blue and white one.

I like blue and white. Brown and beige is boring

Yeah, white is exciting, isn't it? :)

Still, it hurts my eyes terribly. I'd like another option.

I noticed something odd: clicking on a Member's name (link) does not take you to his/her profile page; whereas clicking on his/her avatar does. However: the links (addresses) in the href attribute must be identical because they show up as identical on the tooltip in:

Code:

---

Opera
Version 10.10
Build 4742
Platform Linux
System x86_64, 2.6.32-12-generic

Qt library 3.3.8b

---

EDIT: Additionally I get a 500 Internal Server error for the multiquote.js file.

I hate this new theme, but I'm all for better stability and reliability. A lot of people have had problems accessing the site at random times. If this fixes those problems, we can deal with a bad theme until a new one is made.

It doesn't, when you click the link, it brings up options for you to choose, such as "send PM", "view profile", "add as contact", etc

Doesn't work for me. If I hover over the name, it will show the little menu, but when I want to click it, it goes away.
Also, the collapse order is still sending me to top of the page.

I know it _used_ to bring up a menu. But it doesn't do any of that anymore for me. So I assumed it was supposed to be a link, oh well. Different symptom, same bug.

I get the little menu popping up for me but it only started working recently.

Has anyone noticed that posts are sometimes dissapearing from threads? I'm getting this every once in a while.

More testing: the menu does pop up (on Opera). It just does not pop up where you'd expect it would: at the top of the page (outside of the viewport). Only the top-most post gives a ‘sane’ menu.

I'm getting strange behaviour in Opera too. The first one on a page of a thread works fine, but every single one after that doesn't, it simply highlights the name.

No they sort of do: click on such a link and afterwards while it is highlighted scroll all the way up: then you will see a menu hovering over the top most avatar. And this menu corresponds to the link you just clicked. EDIT: the key point is scrolling. You must scroll for it to render: even if the menu would otherwise show up in the view port but does not belong with the top most post, you must scroll (downwards first, and upwards next) to trigger re-rendering of the entire viewport -- otherwise it will be (partially) obscured behind the first post.

Anyone find a fix for this yet? That's my biggest problem right now as well.

It happens to me whether or not I use Quick Reply or Advanced, and editing the post only seems to fix it until the page is refreshed.

none of you can complain about the long length quotes instead of horizontal until you try reading something by Aemilius Paulus. *facepalm*

Wow!

Haven't been in for quite some time...did you change the drapes?

Nice job Tosa!

Hey, I was wondering where all the awards people had have gone (not such an issue for me I never had any really :P ) But still, pointless doing a HoF if the winners don't get to show there awards for all to see, :rolleyes: Also when will we be able to vote on the HoF? Or did I miss it?

So... foolishly impatient pizza guys want to know... is there going to be non-default skins at some point, or am I anticipating something that won't happen?

Good question...

Nope, you haven't missed them. The voting threads will be up shortly. :yes:

When I try to upload a profile pic, it says I don't have permission
https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/profi...editprofilepic
However, Khaan has a profile picture, so I'm guessing it's available for senior members and above. Could it be changed so that all members could have it, please?

Posting interface needs work.

Yeah! "Go to first unread post" button works! :bow:

But some other stuff is still causing trouble here, while it doesn't on the testboard.

It works both on the forum index and inside the thread. Thanks, TosaInu :bow: .

The reply box in the full "advanced" reply area is extremely small. It looks like that box swapped sizes with the smiley box, which is now huge.

When I first saw TinCow's post, I thought he was smoking something, then I saw the error for myself, and now it feels like I been smoking something. It seems to be a bug after the 'downtime'.

Only thing I can say is no kidding.

It started after yesterday's brief downtime, so it was caused by something that was changed then.

It is TinCow. The PM input box suffers from the same problem. Super annoying. This version does everything totally different, so I have to learn the ropes all over again.
