Report update issues here [Dec2011]

Thanks for the heads up, I love the customizable colors. The only issue I see is that the join date is not displayed in this theme, but it's not really a big deal.

Mouse over the members user name displays it. :) I have been playing with the colors but still prefer the Warrior dark theme.

On a brighter note, the new Elegant forum skin is now up and you can pick your own colors. :smile: There is a color picker in the top right hand corner (small icon).
Where? I can't find it.

Click "change theme" on the bottom of the site to pick Elegant, the color picker is the paint bucket icon on top.

Hi I was just wondering how you could enable the desktop version of the forums within the mobile version of the forums ? Was easy to to do before the update but there is no clear way to do it now thanks.

Am I missing something with the [url*][/url*] brackets? They no longer work like they used too.

For members signatures are now restricted to 3 URLs and 5 lines. This will not effect those already up but editing your signature in any way will bring the restrictions into force. If I see any sigs that are excessively large I will be asking for them to be reduced and also adding the information to the forum rules.
I just check the settings for a signature and from what information there it mentioned that I can have... - up to 0 images - Images of any size - Up to 4 URLs - Up to 5 lines ...so if I count the links in my current signature I've only one link (the forum post link). I assume that both a quote and spoiler counts as a link or any BBCode is consider to be a link. Correct?

Take a look this http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1325472-what-are-the-forums-profile-rankings/page__view__findpost__p__19933230.

Thats a nice feature :)
Though I would like to keep the Warrior layout / back colour and then be able to change the colour of the headers like in the Elegant theme.
Warrior is here to stay :toughninja:

I don't know what counts as a link - yes it is 4 total, I was incorrect when I originally said 3. I will have to have a play and test how many I can get in on my member account.

Excessive signatures will get sorted once the word gets round. ;)

The BBCode system seems to be broken. Earlier, I highlight a bunch of text and chose the Spoiler tag, everything inside the spoiler box was messed up. Instead of spaces between paragraphs, there was

and the like. If I manually typed in the spoiler tags, everything showed up correctly, but if I clicked on the "Special BBCode" button, it got messed up.

Also, the copy/paste problem is still going on (and it's getting really, really frustrating :banghead: :wallbash:).

Out of curiosity, is there a limit to how many [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags can be used per post? I tried giving a comprehensive response to a post that would have used 16 or so sets of [ quote ] [ /quote ] tags. When I previewed the post, I got an error message saying there were a mismatched number of "start" and "end" quote tags. I checked very carefully and there were no mismatched tags. To further make things difficult, none of the quotes appeared in "quote" boxes in the preview. All quote tags were clearly visible as plain text.

Those are the posts I assume that are still remaining on the forums after various prunes, if you mouse over your user name it shows the total posts you have made, although it still calls them "active posts".

10 quotes, 10 emoticons per post.

Ahh, so I exceeded the allowed limit. That explains why the extras didn't appear, but why did it say I had mismatched "start" and "end" tags instead of just saying that I had too many?

This is strange:

I was curious on how many were online right now, and what got my eye was Hungry Donner's name:
http://i956.photobucket.com/albums/ae50/tgl_2010/Untitled-15.png

I just thought "Oh, its probably my browser..."

But noticed that some of the names on the bottom with Hungry Donner's were the same way. Only the bottom, not the top.

So I refreshed, Hungry Donner's name went back to normal (was at the top this time) but most of the names in the same spot (On the bottom) were backwards. Refreshed again and again and the same result.

tl;dr: The "Who's Online" section is bugged. Top names are normal but any names on the bottom are turned backwards.

EDIT: Seems it went back to normal. Odd :blink:

I sometimes get notifications, but when I click on the bell icon nothing shows up? It is like the notifications only last a certain (very short) amount of time which is useless.

Is there any way to search someone's posts in the order they've posted them? I often used the content search to get a list of all my posts in the order I posted them (latest ones on top), to see if people have replied to the threads. I haven't been able to do that since the update. Doing a search on My Content now seems to list my recent posts in a fairly random order.

It is said to to be sorted by 'last update time' but that doesn't seem to be the case either, since the top post of mine it shows currently is one in the Deus Ex thread from yesterday and nobody posted in there after me. Meanwhile I've posted in other threads today that did get new replies.

I don't know what this is, but it seems to me that almost everything today is just up side down. :blink:

Is there a posts per page selector?

All I can see in the top right hand corner is the advanced search button
Oh, you need to be running Elegant nvm,

on another note can we expect to see more themes like back in the day?

For some reason, the spoiler BBCode messes up the Bold, Italics, Underline and Strikethrough functions. Examples below:

Bold
Italics
Underline
Strikethrough

^That all shows up correctly. Now look at it inside spoiler BBCode:


Spoiler

Bold

Italics

Underline

Strikethrough

^That doesn't even begin to commence to get ready to start thinking about considering the idea of entertaining the notion of coming anywhere even remotely close to looking right. This wasn't a problem in the past (at least, not with spoiler BBCode). What happened?

The Elegant theme is really nice, but I'm noticing that it will occasionally forget what custom colors I've picked for it, even when I'm signed in. About once a week or so I'll load up the forums and get the default blue and white, versus my custom green and white.

Just had a quick look, seems the cookie they use to store the colour selection expires after just 10 days so I guess that's the problem. Hope they'll fix it, I quite like it as a theme.
