Bug/Requests Thread

[Hamma]

Post any bugs you find here, as well as requests.

1. Im wondering how the "quote message in reply" button works on the "quick reply" thing. Does it quote the last message? If so, what happens if the last message YOU see is not the actual last one (ie: someone replied).

2. Can you expand the "standard smilies"? It could easily fit 5 across and 5 down.

3. What does "Close Current Tag" and "Close All Tags" mean at the top of the reply section?

4. Can we go back to the old method of quoting, bold, img, html, etc where a pop-up displayed?
4a. Can you renovate that (old) system so that when you put what you want in the field and press enter it puts the text where your text cursor is instead of the bottom of the page?
4b. Can you also renovate that (old) system so you can click on the body of your reply while the pop-up is displayed so you can cut/past from the body into the pop up?

5. What ever happened to Aunt Jemima syrup?

[EineBeBoP]

1. Why do you have "joined" and "location" under your name?
2. why dont I? Edit: damn, apparently I do
3. Tek's #5 (its a damn good question)
4. Can we have more than 500 characters in our sig? I have a cool story in mine, but i could barely fit it in. (this might also be a bug becasue MS word said I had 497 chars, while it was spaced to my likeing.)

[Hamma]

The quote on quick reply works once you click this http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/images/vbnewstyle01-blue/quickreply.gif

The close current/all tags simply end any open tags you have, like [url ] for example, or [IMG ]

I have no idea what you are talking about in 4 :lol: (Tek)

Joined/Location are temporary until I put back what we used to have there.

No idea where Aunt Jemima syrup went to.

Yes on sigs, just havent set all the policies yet.

[TekDragon]

Ok, Hamma. In the new system of doing img's, links, etc we click the botton once and {img} appears. We then have to type some shit, then click it again and {/img} appears.

I would like to go back to the old system where when you hit 'img' (or any other formating option) we get the pop-up thing. If you don't know what i'm talking about, click on 'Hyperlink'. That's the pop-up i'm talking about.

Now, the problem with the old popups was that:

1. You can't click on the body of the text in your reply (or in other people's replies below) while the pop-up is active. This means you couldn't cut and paste into it. You had to cut/copy, then click the button to bring up the pop-up, then paste.

2. When you hit enter after entering the text into the field of the pop-up it went to the bottom of your reply. Always. Period. That meant you needed to scroll down to the bottom (yes, some of us have replies more than 5 words) and cut/paste the coded text up to where you want it. I propose making it so that the coded text goes to where your text cursor (the blinking thing) is.

Got it?

[EineBeBoP]

not a bug or request, but thank you for finally letting us see not only who the last poster was, but which topic it was a reply to on the http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/index.php? page :)

Yeah, I'd like to see that too.

**FUCK! I knew how to write up the command for a quote by myself! I'm spending way too much time here!**

Oh, and you might wanna make this thread a sticky.

umm... thats today at 11:58. is that a bug or does it make a strange sort of sense?

[Hamma]

ahh yes, I follow.

Thats a bunch of Javascript coding, and I dont know javascript. They did away with that old popup method as far as I can tell

[NightWalker XI]

How the hell does the Avtar change thing work now...I dunno how to do it...anyways, the reply buttons and the like are blue, doesn't match the rest fo the forum/site

[Hamma]

THere is a thread on the colors. As for the avatar thing I have no idea, dont even use it :lol:

[NightWalker XI]

Nooooo....my avatar....my pride.....oh well :rolleyes:

[EineBeBoP]

to change avatar, go to your CP then hit options instead of Avatar.

pretty stupid to have the avatar tab if all you can do there is delete your av.

Hamma, can we see whos browsing the forums again? I really like that feature so we can see if a friends online.

[Lise]

As I said Hamma, multiple choices for color scheme would be ace. If you need help with that I can give you names.

[EineBeBoP]

Hmm you have currently active members at the bottom of the forum Home page. Think you can just clone that to the top of every page when your browsing? (not while replying or checking your CP and such)

[Lise]

Another quick nitpick if I may Mr. Hamma.

URLs are no longer underlined. This makes it really freakin' hard to distinguish URLs from the rest of the text. Can we get underlined URLs back?

It doesn't put in your current visit. E.G., if I visited yesterday at 1pm, and I visited today at 10AM, it will say the last time I was here was 1pm...not the time it currently is. Hope that made sense.

[Onizuka]

Just logged in for the first time to the new forums. I am so confused. Im the most unspontanous person ever, a definit creature of habit.

My brain is doing backflips atm.

I saw quick reply and nearly had a seizure spurting the words wtf repeatedly.

I had a lot of pms, but everything kept gettin full so now i have a total of 70, which leads me to my one request:

1. make the pm boxes larger. you said you did this, but im suffuring here.

[Strygun]

you get a total of 90 pms... at least, I do, that might be because I'm a mod though.

[Onizuka]

no, i think i do too. I delete like 20 not to long ago. im not positive though.

[Strygun]

in this new version, there is a graphical indicator of your PM stats. if you hover over that graphic w/ your mouse, it will tell you the information.

[Hamma]

It's always been 90

[Lise]

No response on the multiple color scheme idea? :(

[Hamma]

It's not going to happen. Maintaining one color scheme is enough work already, its not just a color scheme its a ton of template edits.

You will get used to it. :p

[Onizuka]

When i "go to advanced" the font, size, color, close current tag, bold letters etc box is way off-colored and looks pasted on right above the text box. Then the scroll thing to the right is "violated" by the browness. wtf

[Hamma]

:confused:

[Onizuka]

screw it, i dont feel like explaining :p :love:

[Ghryphen]

Drugs is dumb

[Onizuka]

Drugs is dumb


what, where am i?

[EineBeBoP]

It doesn't put in your current visit. E.G., if I visited yesterday at 1pm, and I visited today at 10AM, it will say the last time I was here was 1pm...not the time it currently is. Hope that made sense.


Well the thing with that was, that it posted the time i had been there last as 2 min. ago, but it still said yesterday.


Edit: I'm also wondering why

Some people have "+" next to their name. why?

[Hamma]

No idea on that one :lol:

[r3d]

All you need to do now is show post count :lol:
( I know its been discussed and agreed that you would not allow it, Its a joke damnit)

[Little-Acorn]

On the Oct. 5 2003 upgrade:

Nice pic. What is it? And the colors aren't bad.

Does seem to take a lot longer to load, either the forum or individual posts. And for some reason they show up on a double- or triple-length page, so that my screen is mostly blank until I scroll way down a page or two, to see what people wrote.

Is there something I can do from here, to get my system to load quicker and show the pages properly? And/or is a little more tweaking needed?

Nice to see the progress being made.

[Hamma]

The logo is a warp gate :eek:

It may be taking longer because I have been rebuilding the search index all day long. That is a bit database intensive.

[Hamma]

ban

[EineBeBoP]

Hamma are you messing with the site again? cause i seem to be loading really slowly.

[Hamma]

There is some odd stuff going on the box.

[EineBeBoP]

In the box? to the box?(Squeeky :brow: ) around the box? or did you mean you were adding software?
and I assume by box you mean the Server case :p

[Hamma]

Server (box)

[Onizuka]

Squeeky mated with his ethernet port again :\

[SandTrout]

Kind of annoying that most of the quotes are 2 lines now. I likethe old place for them.

I would also like to see a page listing at the top of the thread page so you dont have to scroll down past all the post to swithc pages.

[Hamma]

Not sure what you mean by the second thing.

As for the quotes I cant really put them at the top right would hose the banner.

[Lise]

Hams, on the latest version of IE6, I'm getting an error every time I post a message. It doesn't affect posting, but it is there.

Line:234
Error: "null" is null or not an object

Regardless of the interface used. Fix plz. :love:

[Hamma]

I've seen it, not sure what causes it. I didnt do anything that would affect Java

[SandTrout]

I mean the thing that says: "Pages (3): � 1 2 [3] " so that you can quick jump pages easier. Its only at the bottom of the page, but it used to be at the top and bottom.

I just find it annoying.

[Hamma]

It's at the top as well, opposite side as the bototm.

[Peacemaker]

Hamma, how about doing the 5 newest threads from the lounge on the opposite side of the main page like u have 5 newest game discussion threads.

[Hamma]

That's a alittle overkill hehe

[1024]

Like my location? Heh.

[EineBeBoP]

L33t � � � 4

But I like mine better.

It hypnotizes you if you watch long enough....

[1024]

Only certain people will undestand mine though...

:epiphany(sp?:

[EineBeBoP]

:lol: good point.

But still.... mine is a dancing cow.

A
DANCING

[Onizuka]

lol @ my location. Maybe in a few months hamma can pimp this place up. purple background, rainbow logo, a few canes around the outside. And an annoying pimp midi playing.

[Strygun]

I figure now is as good a time as any to show this.. I've had it FOREVER!

http://staff.planetside-universe.com/strygun/strygunbarney.jpg

I'm TR in game, btw

[Onizuka]

Make it your sig! Do it!

[1024]

:shudder:

[Onizuka]

I request that we have multiple color schemes. Other sites (can you believe it!) that i post at have other schemes. Like black and blue (my personal fav) etc...

[Hamma]

Not gonna happen, it's not just color schemes... its an entire template set which I would have to manage. Thats 2 templates, custom edits etc, I don't have time for that.

[Onizuka]

yeah, your a busy man :lol:

[Rbstr]

My only request undelet the NWA thread. Other wise i love the new color sceme,

[Onizuka]
