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.
Title: Bugs
Post by: Elven Doritos on March 06, 2006, 08:37:28 PM
Ah. I do see the bad image box, yes. And the custom titles aren't working, if I'm not mistaken?

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.

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.
Title: Bugs
Post by: Ishmayl-Retired on March 11, 2006, 08:17:15 AM
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.

Post by: daggerhart on March 15, 2006, 02:13:26 PM
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?

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.

Title: Bugs
Post by: daggerhart on March 15, 2006, 03:57:42 PM
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'm assuming the user-content plugin just got shoved aside due to other stuff.

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.

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).
Title: Bugs
Post by: daggerhart on March 16, 2006, 05:14:02 PM
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.
Title: Bugs
Post by: daggerhart on March 16, 2006, 06:09:52 PM
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)

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...)

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).

If it doesn't solve itself with the next official update, i'm sure we cann look into it.

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.

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.

Spoilers ARE currently broken in IE, but they worked before last night's maintenance. Currently, clicking on spoilers does not cause them to display their information.
[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.

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.
Title: Bugs

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.

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.

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?
