Board Upgrade 11-18-12

Attachments in PMs are not showing up for everyone. However, the files are still on the server. Please send me a message if you want them. I will have to manually go through each month's folder to retrieve them.

[*Daniel]

Also I dont know if it just me but I couldn't attach anything to my personal messages (like when I wanted to send those files)

First, I want to say thanks for all your work on this forum - the pages are loading a lot faster now and I love the feature that puts in bold the topics you haven't read yet.

 

But I noticed that on the recent topic: "Tete a Tete" - Interview with Lise Payette -- with the amazing translation that Zenmeban did -- you can no longer click the spoiler link to read the translation. (It just says "spoiler: click here to view" - but nothing happens when you click it). I loved that interview/translation, and wanted to read it again, but now I can't

The content inside spoilers didn't convert properly. I have to manually edit the post to make it work. At least it's still there. Thanks for reporting that, the translation is working again.

Thanks so much! It's working now!

This is my to-do list and not necessarily a bug report.

 

Frosty is missing

Facebook/Twitter/Youtube/G+ links need to be re-added to skin.

Emoticons in a post (even created after the upgrade) do not always post. Maybe it's just the .png ones as the .gif ones seem to work fine.

Mobile features is new and has not been fully tested. I can test on Android and Windows OS but someone else will need to take on iOS

Need to communicate change about personal photos and avatars.

Load speeds erratic. Time out last nights, better today. This definitely needs a higher priority as we don't want people losing interest waiting for a page to load. Caching/rebuilding issue probably.

Cross out everything except Frosty, mobile features and the change about personal photos and avatars.

[Koolan]

Version 3.4 is out today. Guess I'll wait until everything works before upgrading.

[*Daniel]

Ekkk so that mean that we will end up with new skins?

[Koolan]

No, the existing ones will be upgraded.

[Koolan]

Oh ok, thanks for that.

Yeah, you might want to see if there's some way you can change/customize the layout.

I moved the Find Content link to the left side under the user info.

[Koolan]

Embedded Youtube videos will not show up in the post properly. I am running a script to fix them.

Is that because of the way we been posting then?

[Koolan]

Yes, I don't want members to continue with the old way of embedding them. The new way is much easier.

How come I can click on this topic and takes me to my last post so I can read any posts missed but when I go on the 'what's on your mind right now topic it doesn't do this so I have to sift through pages until I find last read?

The link should contain "/unread/" at the end to bring you to the first UNREAD post. If it says getlastpost or something on the link then it's not the correct one. Where did you click on? On the homepage, clicking the link brings you to the first unread whereas on the page with all the topics, it bring you to the last post. you need to click on that little star to the left of the topic title to go to the first unread.

Not sure if it works but I used to get emails stating there were new comments and I no longer get them and so go from the home page and have to scroll through to find last post read

Since the new upgrade its been really nice to have this area for questions and help on things, right at the top of each page.

 

I was wondering if it would be possible to keep this at the top in the announcements section. Pehaps renamed something like "Forum help and issues"

 

I find it very helpful, i dont know about everyone else?

Insert the full link inside tags. For example:

 

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuQrh3-wiX4[/media]

Do you mean pin this topic or leave the link on the top of every page on the forum?

 

I plan to have some tutorials on how to embed youtube videos, multi-quote, and other commonly used features.

I made it possible to embed a video by just posting the youtube link in a post.

Yes of course.

Hello everyone,

 

I would like to kindly ask what will be with "Gallery"? I have tried to find it on the web, but the old link doesn´t work - message "fatal error". Thank you for information.

 

Have a great day with Celine in your ears

Hi, I haven't got much time to get it back up. I'll check it before the end of this week.

Ooops, just realized that the colorpicker on the top right is missing from the Parler skin. I've fixed it now. Sorry about that!

Not that it makes any difference, but can the colorpicker appear on the Alix Malka skin?

I lack the knowledge necessary to do that.
