Upgrade

[TosaInu]

Hello,

Large part of the upgrade is ready. Now it's just cosmetics and adding functionality of some hacks.

You'll notice many, many things missing. Do not worry, all is still here. It's sometimes just a matter of tweaking the templates to bring it back. Sometimes a small coding is required.

The warning system is gone I think, vbul has something similar now.

It's 3.39 AM and I'll get a little nap first.

Nice job Tosa Inu!
None could have done it better themselves!

I think you derserve a round of applause.
*chirpping from cricket* maybe after your map you might get one.

[Gregoshi]

Thank you for your efforts Tosa!

Im somewhat strange with this new system, but lets wait for the final tweaks.

The org is running like a Ferrari! Its very faster now.

[Spartan198]

I'm assuming this is why our profiles are laid out differently?

[pevergreen]

A few things have changed:

Multiquote isnt working (the picture)
the line between sticky and non sticky has gone.
the layout of the subforums (like the mod section) has gone back to the old one.
At least its fast

[Spartan198]

Broadband signatures aren't working, either.

Also, why are my unread PM drafts labeled as "Uleste"? I know this may not have anything to do with the upgrade, but I figure it's not worth starting a whole thread about it.

Muhahahaha....that is scandinavian for 'unread'.

Yes it does seem faster.

A small issue that I noticed is that when you quick reply, it says "Quick replying" or whatever, twice.

Gah! All post/PM features have been disabled for me -- the bold/italics/underline functions, the Insert Link function, the smilies -- nothing works. Is this anyone else's experience as well?

[FactionHeir]

it seems to work for me
gah

The PM functions are working for me also. It could be attributed to JavaScript being disabled, which is what the functions heavily rely on.

In Firefox you can check whether JavaScript is enabled by going to "Tools" menu and selecting "Options". Once the preferences windows has appeared, select "Content" and then ensure that the "Enable JavaScript" box is ticked.

If you've recently installed NoScript, it could also be attributed to that. You will need to enable scripting on the page for the functionality to work. To do this, right click anywhere in the page, select "NoScript" and then select "Allow totalwar.org".

Hope this is useful to you

BTW, just another small glitch I've noticed - the "Edit Favourite Smiles" option lacks an icon in the posting/PMing view. This causes a slight layout problem in Firefox due to the way it handles broken image links.

As I've said before, thank you for all your efforts so far Tosa

What's worse of course is that my favorite smilies have been reset
Ah well, I memorized their code anyway.

Reset? That was not supposed to happen. The hack had to be upgraded, but would leave settings alone.

How was it reset?

is it because somebody abused there powers?

Hello Martok,

Do you not see the bar? Then you may have some sort of minimalistic editor. https://forums.totalwar.org/betavb/p...do=editoptions Miscellaneous Options

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Nice icon for the smiles Tosa

Sorry, but another glitch appeared when you added the favourite smilies button - in Firefox 3.0rc2 there is misalignment on the top bar of the editor:



There is also a milder level of misalignment in IE 7 which is of the opposite way round to the Firefox alignment (slightly lower than the table function rather than higher).

In Firefox 3, the editor area now seems much wider compared to how it appears in IE 7 and the smiles on the right hand panel are much more spaced out than they are in IE. The result of this Firefox 3 wideness is a vast expanse between the "wrap text functions" on the left hand side of the main options and the choose favourite similes button, which, as you can see, is grouped together with the table function on the far right hand side. A little bit of extra wideness has appeared in IE, but it's not quite as large as Firefox 3's.

Hope this is useful

BTW, in the UserCP, shouldn't favourite smilies come under "Setting & Options" rather than "Your Profile". It seems a little more logical since it is not an item which others are able to view.

[Martok]

Omanes: No joy with the Firefox settings. Everything was as it should be. However....

Hello Martok,

I think that may have been the problem. I was set to Standard Editor, so I switched to the Enhanced Interface. That seemed to do the trick.

[TosaInu]

Odd.

[Martok]

Glad you got it working Martok.

Actually, it appears I spoke too soon. My post/PM functions have stopped working again, and I've already double-checked to make sure I didn't have my Misc options set to Basic Editor (currently set it back to Standard Editor -- it doesn't seem to make a difference between that and Enhanced Interface). Also, I discovered I have the same problem with Internet Explorer, so it's not just my Firefox browser.

What is it that you can't do? You can can't use the bb-code buttons nor create a PM?

[FactionHeir]

Basically the entire editor and smilies are non clickable as if they were part of the background.
What's funny is that they do display their tooltips when you mouse-over.

Bold Italics Underline color font size

All can be clicked here. Maybe you need to upgrade Java at Sun?

I have the newest version and it was all working fine earlier before my favorite smilies were restored.

[edit]
Actually, now that I think of it, I remember changing some option regarding java possibly earlier that may have triggered that, but I cannot seem to find that option anywhere in the UserCP again. Could have been with another software I was using during the day instead though. Too many journal articles floating around me to remember.

[edit2]
nvm, I just remembered that was in Adobe Acrobat.

[Martok]

I can create posts and PM's no problem. However:

^^^ What he said.


EDIT:

No idea; could be. Where/how do I do that?

Nice job Tosa. It's looking good ! Ja mata.

Unread PM receipts display as Uleste (which I think is Swedish..)

[and another thing....]

Are we going to get the spell check function back? I've grown sadly dependent on it.

It's on the to add list OverKnight.

Sword Dojo is also missing a couple of icons still. The button on the "Go to post" button in the quote box, and the throbber which appears when editing a post.

What is a throbber? Is that something during submitting an edited post?

Which language and skin are you using FactionHeir? I don't see it?

Ajax edit.

Adv edit.

[FactionHeir]

Tosa as a guest?

I am using the UK language and TheGuild skin.
