Thread: Upgrade

  1. #151

    Post Re: Upgrade

    I dunno, I'm finding it intrusive and unnecessary. I preferred the old world times function which could be accessed from the menu bar. It also probably would look nicer if there were a larger distance between it and the bar at the bottom and, when applicable, the posting rules box.

    Some icons are still missing in Sword Dojo. We haven't got the albums icons in the album part, the throbber is missing from after we edit posts in simple view and the icons for going to the quote are sadly not there either.

    Couple of issues which I've had for a while though, the Links and Downloads manager is a bit of a chore to navigate for me at the moment. This is due to the category depth shown by the display (currently three). It would be much easier if it only showed a category depth of two or showed three in a more organised layout.

    The favourite smilies options probably should go under the "Settings and Options" part of the UserCP navigation strip rather than under "Your Profile" due to it, unlike those options there, not being part of the visable profile which other users can see.

    I notice the odd scrolling now too. It's normal in the Vanilla skin, but not in others. In only happens when viewing a topic. That makes a suspected template.

    The Posting rules box is always at the top, except in the Vanilla skin. But there's no WorldClock in that one. ?

    Something very weird that's probably related to the mouse scroll not working:
    If I am trying to select a bunch of text and don't do it very quickly, sometimes it just interrupts the selection. Is the page constantly being refreshed anywhere at regular intervals?

    It has the double arrow that means it can be hidden.

    I do have it hidden, but even then I have the bar there which, I must say, is a little on the thick size. It may be more bearable if it were a little more distanced, just a line, from the items around it.

    Thanks BTW, Tosa, for the work you've been doing so far and tolerating me - I'm probably becoming annoying now

    Yup I cant sellect more than a little bit before it decides to stop letting me select. I dont know why the quick reply box is so slow to respond to keystrokes either, works fine in normal reply.

    All these problems occur no where else.

    Hello,

    Not at all. Feedback is good. While I try several browsers and skins, it's far from likely that I spot every glitch/bug/oddity.

    'It also probably would look nicer if there were a larger distance between it and the bar at the bottom and, when applicable, the posting rules box.'

    This is about the WorldClock bar. The posting rules box is moved to the top (where it was in the old situation) before installing the clock. In which skin/browser/location do they interfere?

    Hello Rilder,

    I noticed, IE seems to have more trouble with topics than FF. That can be due to conflicting coding styles of HTML, perhaps even erratic coding (FF accepts it, IE doesn't/struggles).

    Have you tried the Vanilla skin or one of the IBulletins? They seem faster with IE.

    I'll try to restore the other styles to performing shape (there are some odd issues with it and non FF browsers). That may take some time.

    Would it be possible to get a "Reply to All" button for PMs? LotR players often send PMs to an entire group of people, and when replying we have to put all the names back into the recipient box. Sometimes people forget to do this and then the conversations get mixed up. A Reply to All option would be very helpful.

    In Sword Dojo, both Firefox 3.0 and IE 7, the world clock bar has no space between the posting rules box (when it appears when replying to a thread) and the bar at the bottom. It also has a longer length than the actual bar at the bottom.

    The same applies to the Guild skin and R:TW, but in this case the world times bar has the same length as the bar at the bottom which makes them appear integrated (which probably would be better than the space I originally suggested).

    Just a couple of screenshots to demonstrate (sorry, I'm not very good at trying to explain things in writing):

    Current Sword Dojo:








    Current Guild:








    Proposition for all skins:








    The last one's a bit of a mess due to my image editing ineptitude. Sorry

    Hello Rilder,

    Default, Guild, RTW, Black, Sword Dojo, Sengoku, Daisy, Euro2008, Dial Up and 56K are more or less the same.

    The skin Vanilla (for this version) and the Ibulletin skins (~100% old) are different. Those can make a difference. One of the browsers I use only functions properly with IBulletin.

    Glad to hear that.

    I know where the problem approximately is and that it can probably be fixed in all other skins too.

    Maybe I'm just missing a feature that's already there, but does the upgrade have any way to open up a thread at the page and post number of the first unread post? It would be nice to have for hot threads that already have tons of posts in them, and the code already knows which posts you have viewed. So instead of clicking "Last Page" in the "1, 2, 3...Last Page" list and having to go back several pages to find the start of new posts, you could just click a "Last Viewed" link and it would take you there automatically.

    Or does this already exist and I'm just clueless?

    You can already do that drone - simply click on the button to the left of the thread's name on the forum main page. Alternatively, you can click on the " Go to first unread post" button in the thread's upper bar.

    Ahh, scrolling much better.

    Still getting the issue where if a page isn't completely loaded it won't show, making it a pain to view threads with alot of images since you either have to wait for the page to load all the pictures or hit stop and right click "show image" every single image.

    Hi Tosa,

    When you initially upgraded, I remember that when using "Mark Forum Read" (i.e. in a forum view rather than index view) all bolded (unread) threads would immediately be unbolded.
    Now however you need you actually (manually) refresh the page for it to display read. Any chance the previous way could be restored?

    Also, the page you get to after posting or marking fora read (index view) seems more robust than pre-update. Now I cannot go to another page in my address list anymore while this page is up as it won't allow the next (outside) page (regardless how small) to be loaded. Can this be changed please?

    Post Re: Upgrade

    Just another small issue, the search function has been acting a little strange since the upgrade. I just, for example, did a search for "Influence" in the Main Hall. It would not perform the search stating that the word was either very common, too long, or too short. When I tried combining the word with the word "King", the function only looked up "King", providing the same reason for not including the word "Influence". I've had this a couple of times elsewhere in other forums when searching for certain terms.

    Thanks for everything you've done so far BTW Tosa
