securitybreach Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Good morning all. Since we have a new and fancy forum to play with, we thought it would be a good idea to make a thread listing any bugs or general feedback we may run across. That way we can work out any kinks and make any desired changes. Thanks my friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 (edited) Let me start the reporting... Whenever you go to click the heart to "like" a post, if you choose the trophy from the popup, you get the following error. It does post the trophy but the error shows up first. Also I do not know if it is my set up or not, but when I load (reload) a page I get a slight "twitch" before it renders. See: https://i.imgur.com/wQHcN2q.mp4 Edited September 20, 2019 by securitybreach The bug is not happening on another machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Also, it would be nice if it told you who liked your post as I just got a like and the notification simply said "Someone liked your post". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete! Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I'm not seeing any obvious way to exclude "Computer World" content from Unread Content posted by live persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pete, it might not be ready yet. Under your profile, click the Activity tab then Unread Content and Following. There might be a way to exclude Computerworld from Following. I know on some boards I go to, I only load the sections I'm interested in when I clicked Watched Forums. After I load those sections, I mark the board read without going into every section. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 OK, just got here a little while ago. Hmm... been some changes since I was on last. My first issue was that I couldn't login. Fixed that. The next issue was my avatar disappeared. Fixed that, too. Now I'm surfing around looking at things. It's quite a bit different from the ol' comfortable board. Old people just don't like change. I'm older today because it's my birthday. Speaking of that... I found a little tab opening arrow on the mid-page far left that allows you to add content blocks to the board pages. I added the Member Status thingy, the Who's Online thingy, and the Whose Birthday it is thingy to the right side of the forum area. On the bottom, I added the board statistics thingy. This makes things seem little more comfortable. Anyway, still snooping around, poking things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crp Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) well aside from there is the messy, messy issue of customizing your streams. not at all easy to understand what is going on. I take it some things that are supposed to be doable are still in the shake out stage? For instance, the posts in this forum the past day did not show in the "unread content' though i did see the b'day and ComputerWorld news postings.

zlim Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 If the background is too white, you can a) lower the brightness on the monitor or b) if you use FF, try this https://www.techuntold.com/how-change-firefox-background-theme-wallpaper/ I just changed the background to gray. It does have an effect on everything. The blue banner at the top disappears and the lettering is now blue instead of white and black. I changed it back to white. I simply lower the brightness on my monitor/screen if a site seems too bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) If you don't have the title Administrator, then the top section: Highlander Control Center Headquarters isn't showing. I can no longer attach an image. I get I'm allowed 0MB. I tried to show you what I see, which doesn't show the top section.

Usually, it's me with the browser issues on websites. Oh, and clicking the "Quote" button works fine for me. Let me check and see if I can use the image thingy... seems to work for me, but can only upload image less than 50K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete! Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Admin or Not Admin, may only be part of it. I'm getting vastly different results on Firefox vs Edge. The combined size of the screenshots exceeds my limit, so I can't show you the difference. Trying to put them in separate posts didn't work. Edited September 23, 2019 by Pete!

V.T. Eric Layton Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 If you use a third party image server (like Imgur) and add images via ubb code into your postings, there is no limitation to size. Size only matters when you're trying to upload to the board's server. Example of inline image: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size only matters when you're trying to upload to the board's server... That wasn't my point. I wasn't complaining about the upload limits. Pictures would have helped but it wasn't really necessary. My point was that if you guys are seeing different things, it could be explained if you're using different browsers.... The difference between Edge and Firefox were quite extreme, but other browsers might show more subtle differences. Edited September 23, 2019 by Pete!

Hmm... that would be a really, really small file. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking the Source button will show you the HTML. This is an HTML coded board. You can utilize BBcode manually in your posts, but when you click B or I or other options in the menu editing bar, you're actually using HTML coding.
