TPR's New Forum UPGRADE!

[DenDen]

^ do you have a printscreen of what you see and what's causing the need for a lot of scrolling?

Could you also let me know which screen resolution you're using?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Netbooks are 1024x600. Here's a screen cap from my netbook. You have to scroll past this with EVERY screen except when you're posting. The old version allowed you to turn off the calendar.

Who are the bots? Like the google, msn and yahoo bots? And why do they view forums?

[robbalvey]

They have always viewed forums on the old version but now we are just able to see them with the new forum since they usually all come from a similar IP address and this version of the forum automatically creates an account for them. The search engine bots spider the site so that all of our updates end up on Google, Yahoo, etc.

I thought I'd let you know a problem I encountered signing up, well not really signing up, but with my account settings, in my birthday, which is January 27th, I hit January, but it only goes to 12 for me. Also, before I signed up I was a lurker, and saw that this one accounts avatar went over the line and into the message, I will try to see if I could track it down again, but I cant make any promises.

I didn't really follow along much with the whole process of changing over to the new system, and when I'd first looked at it I was a bit put off, but I tend to not like change for a lot of things. But it's grown on me quite a bit, and think overall it looks good and was well done.

Just ran into this one right now but I love the fact that you have to review your post before you submit it if another person posts at the same time. No more having to edit your post when you post the same thing at the same time.

I love the new look! It's definitely a nice change of scenery.

 

Although, I have one problem with it. For some reason, I can't seem to change the color and size of my signature. I tried to highlight the entire thing and change it, but when I previewed it, nothing happened. But the tags are still there.

 

Other than that, I'm still getting used to the new placement of everything, but otherwise, it looks great!

One problem I'm having is with the chat. Sometimes when it shows users online and I open it, it will either not load any text or if the text does load it closes after a few seconds.

 

I also noticied that when you in the thread about Coaster Footage being retired, the clips Robb posted are no longer video, just text. It says the link with youtube on both sides.

Something else I noticed. Sometimes I go to a member's profile to see what their first name is so I can address them that way. The profiles no longer show the user's first name---unless I'm missing a setting or link...

^No Sir, I do not have first name basis possibility on mine either. And I too sometimes look at profiles to get first names for conversations or whatever.

 

Another thing that I cannot seem to find, is where to click so that I can edit my profile, signature, etc. Is this just me?

try the User Control Panel.

 

It should be

[themeparkman25]

Bingo. Thank you sir!

[Pufferfish]

Something weird just popped up for me. For some reason that I do not know, this forum leaves empty pages in topics. I have a picture to show you this.

Blank page with no posts.

[netdvn]

Ever since the upgrade, the HTML tags in my signature have been acting all funny... Every time I try to modify my sig, the hyperlinks I've embedded become part of the text itself.

[robbalvey]

^ In your User Control Panel under signature make sure that "Enable BBCODE is checked."

Fixed your signature for you.

Next time please make sure the code is used correctly..

in your case the opening and ending quotes

[url] and [/url]

were not used correctly and constant...

<div class="panel">
<<div class="inner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span>

There seems to be an extra "<" in the send password page, which is causing the following:

[Hhappy]

^ thanks for spotting that.

It should be fixed

I like the new forums, but as people have said before it will take some getting used to. Someone mentioned this before, but is there any way to hide the calender? I can't put my finger on it but it stands out more than it used to. Here are some random things i've noticed on the new forums.

As you can see, the username runs over onto the forum.

Here's a nitpicky thing, but the Online banner is covering up part of their title. Not a big deal.

[robbalvey]

^ The username running into the forum is something we'll have to figure out. The online banner we've decided to keep as is right now since it only affects a small percentage of people at a time. If there's a solution that comes up later of for it, we'll do it, but otherwise it's kind of low on the priority list.

 

As for hiding the calendar, I'm not sure if it's going to be an option on this version of the forum, but we'll keep looking.

[themeparkologist]

Sometimes...as in occasionally...The online banner is in a white box that covers up some of an avatar and title/name. I'll try to track it down for you.

[robbalvey]

^ That should only happen with IE6 and below. Basically phpbb3 does not officially support any IE versions lower than 7.

Not sure if this is an issue with my browser or the upgrade, however while going page to page using the page numbers instead of the "next" url, when I click on the number, I'm being re-directed to the TPR main page.

 

Being more specific, when I went from page 74 to page 75 and 75 to 76 on the SFKK page, this happened.

 

On the other forum sites I frequent, I'm not having this issue.

could you give a printscreen to see what the page looks like before you hit the next page link?

and one regarding any message you get after hitting the next page link?

Might make it a little easier to spot the cause of this..

 

Thanks in advance.
