New version

**TosaInu** · 03-09-2005, 11:56

Hello,

A new version of this hack is installed (thanks Zero Tolerance from vborg for making it).

-WYSIWYG mode is working now, there was a nameclash between variable names.
-Recipients are in two columns instead of one to reduce space. The remove buttons are replaced by small toggles.
-The buddylist is added, so you have sort of an addressbook.

The return issue wasn't reported yet, this guy codes faster than I think, this return glitch may get fixed.

I guess that just typing the name as extra option will become difficult with the rest of the hack, or that at least heavyweight code is required. The buddylist should make life easier there and looking up a username does indeed involve a SQL query, but it's a fast one in the usertable.

It would be possible to reduce the allowed max of recipients therother (I myself normally send to 1-2 users at the same time, rarely 5 and never more than 10).

Checking features while I wait for the dump to download.

Is the Recipient system good enough to throw it in?

This sucks a bit I must say, not comfortable to the eye at all.

Hello Fragony,

I'm currently using the RTW skin and everything appears to be normal. What are you using? I guess I know the problem you face.

Edit: oeps, it isn't I'm looking at cached stuff. It's temporary.

Many of the board images aren't showing up for me. And for some reason typing messages is very sluggish whilst pages are loading - just noticed that one just now. Maybe that's just my browser (Opera), but it never used to happen with the old version.

How do you mean?

Yes, I was busy copying images to this new install, so one wouldn't even notice. But the copy proces was very slow (10's of hours and just passed 50%). I'm going to do a folder move, that is a thing that can't be done in advance nor is the current FTP tool capable to do it (:/). The dump download is at 50% now. After that I'll swap to the other PC and sort the layout.

Whilst typing into my browser, when pages are still loading, the text will appear about half a second after typing. Processor usage on my desktop is minimal, and it is still sluggish. Processor usage on my laptop and Firefox is just horrendous.

The sluggishness when typing seems to affect Firefox also. In fact, replying to a topic with my poor laptop nearly killed the thing - 100% processor usage for over a minute, just to refresh a page. Very odd indeed.
