One more..

13/07/09 (PM) Changelist

• Fixed all spoiler tags in old threads. Tags were custom and thus appearing as PhpBB3 custom format "[spoiler:abc123]spoiler text[/spoiler:abc123]".
  
• Removed all inline attachment BBCode from old threads (deprecated feature).
  
• Gave myself an extra 10000 posts for no reason.

Ruddy cheat!

New forum massively more mobile friendly. Nice one.

[Pete Wells]

Great stuff by Vincebot and W3bz - cheers! Have we got a spoiler button yet or am I being a thickie?

[TordelBack]

Interesting to see how quickly this new iteration went from nauseating futsie-inducing  chaos (Ahhh!  Ahhh!  Slight  change!  Aaaahhhh!) to good ol' functionally vanilla in just a few days.  Great job, chaps, keep it up.

I briefly resent my demotion from CALL ME KENNETH back to Bionic Fingers, but on the plus side 4950 more posts about my vas deferns and how much I hate Greg Land is surely something to aim for!

[Peter Wolf]

I notice the difference in the size and color of the stars that are being used by  Vincebot , W3bz and Wake that creates a division between us and them .

Surely not ?

I have also been demoted.Is it now 10,000 + to achieve Call-Me-Kenneth status now ?

Not that mad on the blood red /crimson color theme either.Was this something that was a default or random color that came with the format of the new forum or was it chosen for any particular reason ?

It looks too much like the color of blood.Normally i wouldnt be that bothered about it but i have a bit of a dislike of Red as a color.

i have a bit of a dislike of Red as a color.

Now that doesn't really surprise me!

That has nothing to do with it .

Honestly.

However i do like Blue.Nothing at all to do with politics.Also purple.

However :

I dont like the combination of red and black and white.

Theres a clue there somewhere......




White on black would look quite good.

For some reason my new animated gif isn't animated, though I suspect that's nothing to do with the board, as my exploding Mekon still works. I'll see if I can figure out what's different about them, though they both seem to be the same!

[Tweak72]

Yeah I just wanna say a HUGE thank you to W3bz for his patience but most of all for taking the time to do so much work on a freaking Saturday. What a guy/droid!

Here, Here. A smooth move done inside a few days (and lets face it that's better the last time we moved). I await the tweaks to the board with baited breath.

but for now...

Wheeeeeeeeeee!

Please install a View /active posts function purlease.

Its like the view unread topics function except what happens is the topic that has just been started or posted to goes to the top of a never ending list of posts that were posted or replied to previously to your new post.You scroll down the pages of posts that were posted to an hour ago or 24 hours ago or whenever.

What is happening here and what is happening to everyone else is that a topic that i have clicked on to read a post in is automatically filed away into its appropriate section so if i want to read that post again i have to go back to the board index to find it if i want to read it again which is a pain or wait for it to reappear in the view unread posts section.

This is all well and good but it needs to exist alongside a view active topics function instead of replacing it as it is not a replacement as its not the same thing.

Its a list of posts that are listed in descending order defined by most recent activity.

This is exactly the problem right now - it's no good to merely replace the Unread Topics with an Active Topics list, they both need to exist at the same time.

Currently I'm tracking down which portions of SMFs code generates the Unread Posts list. Once I have this figured out it should be relatively simple to develop a modification which gives us the Active Topics functionality. The hardest part in the whole process is figuring out how SMFs code generates the page.

For some reason my new animated gif isn't animated

If you drag and drop your GIF onto firefox and it plays, it should still play when uploaded here.
If your GIF is bigger than 128x128 pixels then SMF will attempt to resize the image, but this means it'll be re-encoded as a static JPEG or PNG.

Ahh, thank you - I blame it on Kerrin and all his talk of 300x300 avatar designs! - I've tried a new animated one at 128x128 and it seems to work now.

One more teensy niggle, no biggie - When a new reply was opened, you used to be able to highlight a single line in someone's post and hit quote and only that line would be quoted - now it seems (unless I'm missing summat!) you can only quote the whole thing and then have to delete the unwanted bits - as I said, not a huge problem, but slightly less convenient.

I'll permit you 20 mins in a sleep machine before you fix that one!

[Kerrin]

What size of avatar can we now import from photobucket etc? I'm guessing it's more than 300x300 with all the new whizzbangery.
