Please post here if you find any bugs at all in the forums or anywhere on the site. Include the url of the page, as well as a basic description. After that, I can probably handle it.
Cheers!
Not really so much a bug, but the Chatbox archive doesn't conform to the new changes (black text). I also believe that the archive doesn't respond to coding, such as italics and such. The actual Chatbox does, however.
Also, though it isn't a bug, I believe brainface proposed that we rename the Chatbox to something more fantasy-appropriate. I think "Builder Memos" or some such might be appropriate-- perhaps a thread deserves to be set up?

Thanks for everything!
Hey you IE users,
Are you guys seeing a bad image link in your little profile-info-box to the left of your posts? I'm fine when I'm looking thru Firefox, but when I switch to IE, I'm seeing a box that I'm not too sure about.
Ah. I do see the bad image box, yes. And the custom titles aren't working, if I'm not mistaken?

Yeah, not sure why custom titles aren't working,b ut i fixed the bad image
Aparently I am a "Quasi-Powr."
Quote from: RaelifinAparently I am a "Quasi-Powr."
Yeah, uh... me too.... kinda weird for the admin to be a quasi-power, but oh well...
My own posts are displayed as new posts, which is rather annoying...
Yeah, the "new posts" thing in general is pretty buggy. I find that I read a post, leave, then come back later and that same post is marked as "new" without having anything additional contributed to it.
(Sorry I can't give a specific URL - it's all of the forum pages.)
Not "Quasi-Power"... "Quasi-Power"
Well, the easiest way to fix THAT would simply be posting more often :D
Heh.... Whoops... Fixed
Odd thing I noticed - I can vote again in all the polls I allready voted in, just because I logged out and logged in. Is this supposed to work this way?
It most certainly is NOT! These polls represent a sacred trust between the pollee and the poller, and you have broken that trust!
Bleh, I'll look into that. Thanks
Have you looked into the malfunctioning "new post" icon yet? only if you have the time of course...
EDIT: It's more of a quirk than a bug, but when text is put in bold, it turns blue. If this was on purpose , then cool. I'd just like to say that it looks a bit like a link, so if the grand Ish feels like another option can be found, I'd like a change. doesn't really matter over all though, so do as you, and the rest of the board community, wishes.
Actually, as far as the blue bolds go, that's just the default with this theme, and like I said previously, I haven't had time to really mess around with the CSS yet, like I would like, but that's definitely one of the things on the list to be changed.
As far as the new post icon goes, how exactly is it malfunctioning? Are you referring to how, three hours after you post, you come back, and it says there's a new post, but it's just your most recentp ost? Cuz if so, I haevn't looked into it yet (cuz I forgot :p), but I'll do that this weekend as well.
Cheers!
Bold text is now black.
I thought the blue bolds was fetching.
I was actually thinking of finding a happy medium of blueish-black to use as bold, but haven't found one yet.
heh. bluebolds
Argh, a new subspecies of the most fearsome creatures to threaten first level adventurers has been found, behold the dreaded bluebold !turtle
Isn't it fearsome? Thank you for the new smilie Ish!
On the subject of bugs:
The rank icon thingies seem to be not there.
And how come sometimes when I am replying to a thread, the thread appears for me to scroll through while I reply, and sometimes it does not? :((
am i the only one getting funkyness with the quick reply?
Let me check... it might be the edit function, because that changed apparently...
EDIT: Quick reply seems to be working fine for me.
Can we make the page buttons larger? (You know, the 1 [2] 3 that show which page you're on.)
I am noticing a problem with the "Edit Post" function. Whenever a post is edited, all formatting is removed, including returns. Also, the format of the edit page itself has changed. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
yeah man, i got it too. for several days now.
i think this has to do with the bbcode-> html editor ->bbcode switch.
Ishmayl hs the option to use 2 different editors, and he switched it once. I believe if you originally posted using the bbcode, then edited using html(wysiwyg), the formatting probably got lost.
is it happening if you make a post and then immediately edit it?
I haven't tried that yet, but it is becoming painful to edit posts on my CS thread.
yeah... im really recommending we use a different system for posting campaign settings. having a forum thread is a fine way to discuss them, but for display and editing the content, its kinda tough.
forums just aren't designed for this sort of thing, which is one of the main reasons Ishamyl upgraded to this new system.

testing bugs
ok, heres the real answer to the problem.
most of us are probably doing our posting in the quick reply. well, the quick reply is not a WYSIWYG editor, so it doesn't retain line-spacing or anything like that beyond the first posting.
EX: i post with quick reply. --> goes straight to database, with spacing setup by the quick reply editor. then you edited it, and it goes to an html(wysiwyg) editor, and its not prepared for the previously defined spacing so it fails to retain the previous spacing by the quick reply.
spacing spacing spacing
so, if you know html, you can put the proper styling on your post with the quick reply....Ã, but its not going to do it for you.
I thought Ish said something about site hosting here a while ago, before the forums were put up. I never saw nor heard anything about it since the move, so I'd pretty much given up and started putting my CS up on a thread. Is this still in the works?
i'm assuming the user-content plugin just got shoved aside due to other stuff.
dagg, is the quick-reply linebreak issue fixable? can we do a string-replace to convert \n to â,¬Â¹br âÂ'žÃ¢,¬Âº, or something?
probably... :-), but theres not telling how deep in the code you would have to go to find the correct section.

This really is a project that I'm working on, but unfortunately, it's a project that was bigger than I expected; quite frankly, the User Journal option is a fizzle, because the User Journal Plugin for e107 just plain sucks.Ã, However, i'm actually in the works with 3 other people at the moment who all need the same thing I need: a way to host little mini-sites on e107 that each user can administrate on their own.Ã, We're not quite building something from scratch, but we're definitely having to put a little backbone into it, so please be patient and bear with me, and I promise, this option will be available.
Cheers!
I sure would love to see the blog kind of thing that was, at least for me, the main reason for supporting this move.
A minor bug report: as an IE user, I still get a bad image link right between the avatar and the post count of users.

The smileys are buggy.
The one I just tried to use in a post turned up as that annoying little box.
And why did you take the quote tags out of the reply options.
Sometimes I want to throw a bit of quotation from multiple sources in one reply. The quote wraps make it easy. Not having them SUCKS.
Quote from: someonesnamethe quote by that person
i think brainface is going to work on the quick reply line spacing bug.
@nat 20, could you discribe the new post icon problem you're having ?
Quote from: daggerhartQuote from: someonesnamethe quote by that person
Seems a bit odd that I have the quote tags button available if I comment on a front page poll, but not when I reply in a thread.
Yes, I can use the html code, but it is not as userfriendly as the quote button.Ã, And user friendly is supposed to be the frelling point.
And the smileys are still buggy.
I'm not sure whether the problem is still present, as I am not at home now. But the new posts problem was when a post I posted, or have already read was indicated as new after a logout or brief absence from the forums.

if you're trying to insert a smiley by using a command that is not on that list, its not going to work.
we can edit the commands, and make the codes you know show up.
just tell me which smilies you're trying to use with which code.
QuoteSeems a bit odd that I have the quote tags button available if I comment on a front page poll, but not when I reply in a thread.
polls are using a different editor (the old one) still, that's why it's different. quoting wasn't intentionally removed, we just switched to a different editor that had more stuff, like tables, and for some reason it didn't have a quote button. (correct me if i'm wrong).
thats correct about the editors.
it seems using html may just be too much trouble, since switching to WYSIWYG only switches the 'post reply' area, its really confusing things.
i dont think it would be a cardinal sin to switch back to BBcode... probably best to keep everything the same instead of 1 random editor on a random page.
its kind of an e107-problem, im probably going to switch back to bbcode on my site too, just so we dont end up going through these same problems.
ok, i added a lot of smilies... someone should like some of them.
the window that pops up in the editor doesnt display them correctly though. ill have to fix that.
but if you want to get a good look at them, click 'emotes' in the chat-box (Tavern).
ill work on making them display correctly in the other editor. (the pop up window is too small... you can stretch it, but still cant see everything)
we really need tables on this site, though, don't we?
Those non-Mac users can also click the center mouse button and move down to scroll. Most of them don't work though.

yup

smileys now have a scrollbar. (woo). hit the smileyman and pick the one u want. if ya'll cant figure dagg's code, someone posting a list of common 'standard' smiley codes might hellp.

Nope, still the bad image box of death..........

switched back to bbcode. it;s technically working now, but every smiley shows when you load editor. im not working on it anymore tonight.
you guys have no idea how stupid this code is. there's no comments, ever. like, every page has the FILE NAME and BUILD DATE. no other info. i'm like: the build date, thanks, now i know what the code DOES!. every once in a while there's a '---------------------------' line.
Having all the smileys queued up is not a problem. :angelic: :ermm:
And thanks for bringing back the quote tags.
:drool:
dude, it's just the bbcode editor again. you lost tables, you got the quote tag button back ;)
A lot of the smileys don't work, and when you hover over them, it doesn't list a code either.
-Elven Doritos
Mostly at the bottom
yeah... thats because i didnt write short codes for about 80 of them.
im sure someone will fix this shortly. not a major problem, just got tired of messing with smileys after writing over 200 shortcodes.
Ah. I figured it was something along those lines.
-Elven Doritos
Thanks!
Is there a way to mke it so that the smiley menu can be opened when using the "Post Reply" button? Because it seems to give my browser hell having to keep all the smilies running when typing my message, in which I might not even use a smiley at all.
EDIT: It might also be worth a look to see if particularly redundant smilies might be removed. Then again, I just don't use that many smilies. But seriously, do we need both :hammer: and :knock: ?
QuoteBut seriously, do we need both and ?
yes, yes we do. what the hell kinda question is that??
(i'll work on hiding the smileys ;))
umm... one of those smilies has a hammer, the other has a mallet.
clearly different. :D

The smileys pop up for a second, but it looks like you fixed it, yay for brainface!
QuoteThe smileys pop up for a second
okay... i'm fine with that if you are. if anyone's bothered by the current smile-hiding behavoir, post, cuz we can change it (a little, at least).
i'll probably eventually change it to a button, so it meshes with the other controls. but not tonight ;)
Is it possible to code the main page so that it links to the most recent page posted? For instance, the link here takes you to page one, not page three.
Also, the symbols for the pages are a little small. Minor complaint.
Also, for people who are anti-smiley: Use quick reply. *shrug*
but then there's no quote button, eldo. none at ALL.
(they should be nonintrusive now, anyways)
Ah.... okay. Anyway, about my other statements?
it'll be taken into consideration ;)
there's some alternate page-count-shower-thingy. i'm not sure if ish's turned it off intentionally or doesn't know about it, i'll have to ask him about it.
changing default behavior of e107, without some actual setting wizard, is really, really frigg'n hard, so the default page being the first one may stick, annoying as it is. (there really needs to be links to pages (1,2,3...17) on the thread title, like most other boards...)
explode: OK. this works ...
Questions on smilies:
A) Not all of them seem to have tags
B) Is there anyway we can group them by type, to make it easier to look though?
A) dagg got tired after writing nigh a hundred tags.
B) they're automatically grouped alphabetically. coding our own grouping functions for smilies is honestly far more work than i want to put into a fairly gimmicky feature.
to reorganize the smilies we would have to rename them all (377), according to there 'group' (which would end up arbitrarily defined by personal standards anyways).
Quote from: brainfacecoding our own grouping functions for smilies is honestly far more work than i want to put into a fairly gimmicky feature.
.. yeah, what he said.
I was wondering if there is a way to tie polls to screen name, as opposed to whatever is currently used. I've had to vote twice in my own poll, just so I could see what the results were.
we're looking into it. (we're looking into lots of things :D). there doesn't seem to be any way to change that thru the admin screen, which would be bad, but i may just not have been able to find anything.
No, there's nothing on that in the admin section.... I've submitted the question at another site as well, so maybe we'll have something soon.
In the thread Ninja v Pir ate, every instance of the word pir ate is converted to ninja for some reason. here's where the thread is: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?1166.30
EDIT: it's happening here too, hence the spaces in the word Pir ate.
Quote from: Natural 20On a somewhat related note, do the "New Post" icons work yet, or have those prett much been given up on?
i think its an issue that will get solved by the next official update our CMS offers.
we've mainly been focusing on the weirdo bugs and odd-ball request.
If it doesn't solve itself with the next official update, i'm sure we cann look into it.
Now, it would just take us a LOT of work, for a minor benefit.
If you use the home-page to keep up w/ the forum, it bumps the most resently posted thread. (i know you do crit. ;) ).

The link to the WotC Message Boards, at the bottom of the page is broken. It redirects to the the CBG Forums.
Broken? That's what YOU think! :P Whomever wants to go there needs to be directed to a good website anyway, to see what they're missing. So, "Bugs" is clearly the wrong thread for this remark.

Nah, I'll fix it when I get back from the bar tonight ;)
Just asking, is there any news on the 3E profiler issue? Is it coming back, or will we have to do without? I thought it was awesome, and we could really use it...
So, any news?
It is definitely coming back... I'll explain in more detail at a later time, but essentially, we tried an update on it to bring it up to 3.5, and it crashed the entire site, and no amount of backtracking I did would fix it, so I had no choice but to delete the offending folder. It'll be back sometime - on a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably about a 7 in priority.
Is it just me or do more than half the smilies not work?
I, too, noticed that several smilies didn't work when posting a pointless thread of smiley silliness. Perhaps the smileys should be updated. If nothing else, old, non-functional ones could be removed, thereby thinning the herd.
I concur! And we need a couple of doggie smileys.
And a cabbage smiley.
According to brainface, smilies take up more bandwidth than anything on the site... I think that's what he said.
Then I vote for removing smilies that don't actually work. No point having unusable smilies pop up when you click "Show Smilies." Also, you can probably axe some of the redundant ones.
Yeah, that's probably in the plans, just have to speak to brainface on it.
We really need to fix the link in the e107/GNU blue thingy at the bottom. It say WotC Message Boards, but it links to whatever page you are currently on. I think I mentioned this before, actually.
(I'm pretty sure...) its a legal thing that it has to be correct. Wizards of the Coast is a Registered Trademark of Hasbro, so if we improperly use it, they are well within thier rights to take action. No one wants our illustrious site shut down because of one link.
Good point limeton; that was on my list of things to do at one time... consider it fixed.
How come when I type $400 in THe Tavern, it appears as 0?!?!?

[spoiler=Try it.]It doesn't work. :( [/spoiler]
I don't know whether other browsers are affected or not; I'll try it with Firefox when I get home.
Anyway, I'll be temporarily replacing all the spoiler tags in my setting thread with quote tags this morning. It'll look a lot messier, but at least the information will be readable.
spoilers are fine in Firefox, as far as i can see.
and was the hp/xp system loss intentional? because i was starting to like it....
You're right. Apparently the Spoiler tags are broken only for IE.

Quote from: IshmaylInteresting... I haven't seen it yet... tell me exactly what you were doing (which page you were trying to view) when that happened. And did the site show up at all, or was it just a blank white page with that information on it?
I had clicked the home button. And the blank page had that message on it.
I have seen it too today I was submitting somthing to the Tavern and I recieved that message on a white page instead of the normal refresh/redirect. I was submitting it from the home page if that is helpful as well.
I haven't seen it since and nobody else had said anything, so I figured it was just a hiccup that happens from time to time with SQL.
Let me see if I can recreate my error; if it is an error at all.
I typed this into an OOC box:
[ooc=Cons]This is a counter point to my own arguement[/ooc]
And it looks like this:
[ooc=Cons]This is a counter point to my own arguement[/ooc]
I was under the assumption that adding "=Cons" after "ooc" would change the title to "Cons", like it does in the IC window:
[ic=Pros]This is a suporting point to my own arguement[/ic]
See? The code for the OOC tag seems to be a little off.
Nope, it has always been that way. Those tags were meant for PbP. IC would need a name or descriptor while OOC is always OOC.
I'm seeing a gray "1." in Epic Meepo's post count and custom title box. I thought it was just a glitch, but now I see it right next to the gray text in Xeviat's last post. What's up with that?

What's going on with that?
it's got line numbers?
first line
second line
third line
i mean, gawd, it's a code block.
(it's actually gone back to the default behavior rather than the geshi behavior we'd changed it to, but i didn't think it was seeing much use and geshi took a lot of work.)
Hee hee IE doesn't show those numbers. :) I had to get on another browser to see what you guys were talking about.
(I'm did not bring this up so that you will fix it. The numbers are not that important. I just thought it was funny)
yes, let's all cheer for ie's lack of support for css styles ;)
the behavior is actually intentional, just in case i didn't get it across. whether or not we actually want it to act like it's acting is another question.
oooh, it's now showing "forum.php?" instead of our good-old "theme.css". How are we supposed to keep up with all this new stuff... :(
:P
it shows that cuz i think you're looking at the forum. :D
Heh... good one;
Brain, you got any real news on that theme-css.php thing? It's kinda funny, but no one over at e107.org knows what's going on with it, and I figure, since they made the damned thing, that's kinda a bad sign...
I really, really don't care enough about them-css to fix it more than i have: the original coders couldn't fix it, and it in no way impedes users ability to view the forum.
The most i could be convinced to do is remove the question mark ;)
well then, I gues it's settled... but yes, let's get rid of the question mark ;) Ooh! Maybe you could set up a random switch that just makes up what users are viewing:
Ishmayl viewing theme-css.php
nastynate viewing from the crow's nest
brainface viewing your mom
Luminous Crayon viewing "Signs," with Mel Gibson (Shame on You)
etc, etc, etc ;)

Here's a bug: I'm occasionally getting erroneous You may only post once every ten seconds error messages when trying to post in the Tavern.
i think that haooens when it gets two posts from any two posters in under 10 seconds, but im not sure
Yeah, plus e107 has a very weird duplicate post system... If you ever type the exact same thing as another post that is still anywhere in the database (even if it was 6 months ago), it'll say "Duplicate Post," and won't post it... kinda weird, not sure if that was fixed in the upgrade or not, but I may text it.
Tested> seems to be fixed now, but not 100% sure, maybe give it a try in the Tavern sometime and see what happens.
Any news on the polls fix?
So, occasionally instead of "quality cabbages," a thread url is listed as what someone's now viewing. But all of those links are broken, because they end in "forum_viewtopic.php.123" instead of "forum_viewtopic.php?123".
Interesting... very interesting.... this has been added to our bugs page:)
No news on the poll yet, sorry :( We're asking other coders now (or at least, I am), so as soon as we know something, we'll fix it.
It was pointed out to me a few moments ago that a link in my sig wasn't working. I had the right URL, but when I clicked on the link to test it, it kept appending "www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/" to the front of the URL that I had typed into the bbcode bracket, and thus failing to find the right page.
Oddly enough, I seemed to have fixed the problem by just cutting the offending link from my sig and then pasting it right back in the same place, unchanged. (I have since changed the wording but not the URL.) Though the link seems to be working again, I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem with links in sigs and how often it has reared its ugly head.
Meeps, for some reason, you have to have the "http://" part of the link in it; otherwise, the site thinks that your link is meant to be a sub-directory of this exact site... I don't think it used to be like that, and it may just be something I can fix with the settings.

gone now. renaming them didn't crash the forum, and it's not like i could load them up to look at them... ergo: delete.
I see; were these some of the text files that in the e107 installation files, it says to delete anyway? ;)
we did not download 10 gigs of text in the installation file ;)
has the limited name legnth been fixed, yet?
maybe.
heh
seems "fixed" enough for me....
so did you take away the limit, or was the limit just extended? and if it was extended, whats the new limit?
yknow, just for future reference, so i dont have something like "sdragon, ne" again.....
The input field for your profile won't accept more characters than the display limit. The only reason you go "sdragon, ne" is because the limit suddenly decreased during the upgrade.
The text size dialouge seems slightly messed up. It works, but the box to select font sizes appears in the text entry box, instead of next to the font size button.
This was on Firefox, not IE...
Ehh, I don't know if it's actually messed up, or just kinda funny/weird looking.
I've got a bug!!!
How about the fact that polls don't work?
Yeah, we know about that one :( For some reason, this is a harder bug to fix than it should be. There seems to be some glitch in the real coding somewhere, that has nothing to do with the settings or the stylesheets.... we'll get it, just be patient :)
Ah. Well, in that case, it's write-in. :(
Is it possible to make links open in a new window again?
is it really inconvenient to just do that yourself? (I'm serious here.) In most browsers there's a simply way to open links in a new window if you want to, but no simple way to force links to open in the same window if that's where you want it.

Point me to the right place in mozilla, then.
It's just it always did it before on this site.
in mozilla, middle click man. also, right-click, open in new tab (or window, if that's your preference). it's pretty easy ;)
(this is firefox. in mozilla-not-firefox, behavior might be different, but i doubt it. if it does differ, i'm sure edit->preferences will show the binding.)

Yeah man, i turned it off when i messed with url behavior.
The [blockquote] tags now display a placeholder for a name, as if they were a
Quotetag.
yeah, that's cuz i deleted blockquote.bb and hardlinked quote.bb to blockquote.bb. How is their behavior supposed to differ? we seem to be using quote as the html blockquote--quoting entire paragraphs--so i'm not sure how or why they should be differentiated.
Is it my computer, or does the date for the news update read "Wednesday 31 December 1969?"

Yep, it looks like we are back in the sixties.
The CBGuide was so potent, it warped us back in time!
We'll take LC's statement to be true.
Wow, it's been a long time since this thread has seen the light of day.
Attachments to PM's of the file type .rtf are not allowed. This isn't so much the problem as the fact that when an attempt to attach a file is denied, the PM is sent regardless, making users who mention attachments look foolish.
Is there a way that this can be made more user-friendly? Even if it is to include a list of unsupported file-types in the PM page?
I just had an issue when trying to edit my thread Skills and Magic - The beginning of a system (http://thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?53644.last). When I tried to edit my first post and hit the preview button I saw the preview, but then got the message "Error You are not authorized to post to this forum." instead of seeing the edit box. This only happens when editing the first post, and I can still make the edit as long as I don't preview it.
I just tried it on another of my threads and noticed the same thing.
I have had the same thing happen a lot...and just never cared much.
Yeah, sorry Pellanor, that's just one of those stupid e107 bugs that we were never able to fix (because e107 is a child's toy with defective batteries, apparently), you can usually just back up and hit it again and it'll work fine.
You can look at that preview and then press BACK and everything that you changed will still be there. Then you can edit more or post as you see fit. It is an error that just adds a short step to the process, which is why I never bothered to report it.
