Jingus Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) I know admin said he was gonna make one of these, but I gotta run and do some errands so I want my voice to be heard NOW bah gawd. Three specific problems I noticed: FIXED - 1. The weird centering of the posts has it so that the "reply", "edit", and "quote" buttons are shoved way off to the right, and it stretches the screen out. WORKING ON IT - 2. Despite all the recent upgrades, the board actually seems to be loading slower than before. FIXED - 3. The old collection of cartoon wrestler avatars seems to have gone AWOL. No more Mr. Pogo avatar for me? Aside from those, everything looks good so far. Edited May 30, 2005 by admin
Downhome Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) What was added that we should know about? A lot, you will find out over the next few weeks as we deploy the new features and styles. Edited May 30, 2005 by admin
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) FIXED - Group icons need to be uploaded (the "moderator" gifs) and so on. Is version 2.1 Alpha 3 of InvisionBoard available to you, and if so do you plan to upgrade? Or are you waiting for 2.1 to go final? We will wait until the final comes out, the alpha is very buggy and it will take us some time to fine tune v2.0.4 I would estimate that v2.1 is about 3-6 months away from the final release. Could you center the banner ad at the bottom of the main page and right-allign the banner ad next to the TSM logo at the top of the main page? Yes, I will do the bottom one, the top is a bit harder and I am working on figuring out the way they coded things in this version. Spoiler tags need to be reimplemented. The "Last Post Info" column on the index page should be the same size for all subheadings - right now the width is different for many of them. Edited May 30, 2005 by admin
dubq Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 The skin we're using now looks a lot cleaner. Me likes.
Guest Fook_Theta Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Significantly slower so far. Spacing between topics is much wider and personally I liked them closer together. Still plenty of time to fix
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Significantly slower so far. Works great here. Suggestion - for the sake of appearance, would it be possible to delete the following information from the top of the index: DVD Releases: Week of May 17th by R. Flagg Raw from JHawk's Beak (5/16/2005) by Jared "JHawk" Hawkins Movie Reviews: Hitchhiker's Guide, Kingdom Of Heaven & In Your Hands by Struan Mackenzie The Royal Treatment: Smackdown (5.12.05) by Peter Kostka That's not to take anything from the writers, but there's already a link to the main site in that space and I'm sure those who frequent the columns already know how to access them.
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Yes, I will do the bottom one, the top is a bit harder and I am working on figuring out the way they coded things in this version. I noticed the new TSM logo. You could always just edit it and stretch the end of it an inch or so - which would effectively push the banner ad over to the right.
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 The box at the bottom of threads and subforums that shows who is viewing them has dissapeared.
admin Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 I have temporary disabled that since it uses two extra queries to the DB. Its to see if it makes a speed difference or not.
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 I have temporary disabled that since it uses two extra queries to the DB. Its to see if it makes a speed difference or not. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could you disable postcounts from showing up in threads. It would serve the same purpose, and at this point I don't think many people would care.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) The post # up in the corner is useless. Its so that you can link DIRECTLY to the topic & post. If you click it, it displays the hyperlink. And the lo-fi version of the forums is cool except for the fact that you cant actually post in that view. It loads much faster than the "hi fi" version which is nice for people like me who are on slow dialup. Edited May 31, 2005 by admin
Jingus Posted May 30, 2005 Author Report Posted May 30, 2005 FIXED - 1. The weird centering of the posts has it so that the "reply", "edit", and "quote" buttons are shoved way off to the right, and it stretches the screen out. No, still doing the same thing.
Guest Fook Posted May 30, 2005 Report Posted May 30, 2005 Don't have the subfolders of each folder show up on the main page since the Archives folder has about 30 of them and it distorts the page.
KingPK Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 I don't think that's much of a problem myself, since it offers easier access (Like I won't have to click the main OaOast link to get to the HD folder, for example). Yeah, I'm going to have to look around a bit to figger out what the hell new there is. We're discussing some stuff right now, so expect some changes over the next couple of weeks.
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) FIXED - In the upper left section of the post, where it has the date, it'll say "today" or "yesterday" for posts made today or yesterday (duh). Can that be changed to display the actual dates instead? Edited May 31, 2005 by admin
Ted the Poster Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) Re-Enabled, it doesn't seem to be a problem and if it does slow it down on load, its to the slightest. Is there a way to see who's browsing a thread when I'm in it? Currently that feature appears to be absent. Edited May 31, 2005 by admin
Quit Calling My Mama Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) FIXED - In the upper left section of the post, where it has the date, it'll say "today" or "yesterday" for posts made today or yesterday (duh). Can that be changed to display the actual dates instead? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unchangable. <-- BTW, NOTHING is impossible or unchangeable. Is there a way to see who's browsing a thread when I'm in it? Currently that feature appears to be absent. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> An admin can re-add that in the ACP. Thanks for your support and comments, asnewring things before I can. Maybe you should be admin.... J/K. Edited May 31, 2005 by admin
Spaceman Spiff Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 OK, can the "reply" button be put back at the top of the posts?
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Could you please reinstate the 10 minute buffer we used to have for editing posts before "edited by GreatWhiteNope at 6:00" appeared? Now if you go back to edit something right after you posted, the "edited by" tag appears. EDIT: ^ Example. PK here: Uncheck the box at the bottom (below the post options and post icons) that says "Edit Options *checkbox* Add the 'Edit by' line in this post?
King Cucaracha Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Might be just me, but apparantly, posts I read yesterday are still 'new posts'. Even when you refresh, leave the board or logoff. Another minor annoyance...any way of putting Fast Replay on the right of Add Reply again?
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 PK here: Uncheck the box at the bottom (below the post options and post icons) that says "Edit Options *checkbox* Add the 'Edit by' line in this post? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That "add the edit by" checkbox no longer exists.
GreatWhiteNope Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) Suggestion: At the top right-hand corner of the screen next to "Help Search Members Calender" could you place the words "Live Chat" with a link to our AIM chatroom. The address for the AIM chatroom as found on the TSM homepage is: aim:gochat?roomname=thesmartmarkschat Edited May 31, 2005 by GreatWhiteNope
Hank Kingsley Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 I like how you can hide sections. Goodbye wrestling folders. Excellent.
JHawk Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Sorry, the administrator has taken the search engine offline for the moment. Please try again later Any chance on getting that fixed? Without that, the "View New Posts" link is pretty pointless.
admin Posted June 1, 2005 Report Posted June 1, 2005 Yes, currently the whole search engine side of the forums is down. I am hoping to have this issue resolved soon, but am working with some staff with IPB, which seem to be taking there time.
Styles Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 Can something be done about the ad at the top of the screen that's partially blocking the control bar?
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 I may be being a fool, but how do you log off?
CanadianChris Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 I may be being a fool, but how do you log off? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Click on "Log Out" in the top left corner.
