Forum Upgrade - Please Read

[Dickie]

My assistant just brings up the forum page Teething problems, m'thinks. No chance someone actually tests changes before implementing them on the production system?

[mandl]

Nice work George. Are you planning to upgrade the Bear Pit as well? (we could really use that ignore member feature)

No way! Cool programmers do it live.

Are u experiencing problems with the flood control?

err, with only 150 posts?

No, just the first time l can remember getting that message on this forum. Most forums l've posted on only apply flood control to new posters.

Just checked, and we are using the default for flood control, nothing has changed.

George- not sure if possible, but is their anyway you can save your userid/password when you use WAP version of TV? It's a tad annoying having to enter the userid/pass each time I check TV on my mobile.

It depends on your mobile. The forum supports mobile cookies, so if your mobile supports them, it should work. Please open a new thread in the Internet forum branch and we will help you out!

Congratulations on the New interface George.

I feel like moving in to a new home

Lot faster to

Thanks

[britmaveric]

Ta George for pointing me in the right direction! All sorted now!

[RDN]

I've been using it for 5 hours now, and I must say it's very, very fast on my 42.6 Kbps land line. Well done!

But I do have a problem with "smilies". The "Clickable Smilies" don't work (Firefox 1.0PR) but the "Show All" smilies do. .

I'll re-install my Firefox extensions and see if that sorts it out.

The ignore member feature doesn't seem to work for me, it accepts none of the red-colour usernames.

[RDN]

Can we have more emoticons per post again, please? (Currently set to 10) Thanks George!

[kandt]

Just been off-line for a few days and we have a new Forum. Seems nice and simple to use once you learn the new buttons. Well done.

Cheers……..kandt

It seems visually pleasing . Change is good I guess.

[Dickie]

My assistant still brings up the main forum page in the popup window.

[mandl]

Perhaps a minor glitch in the program?

When I view Online Users by Member Name there are quite a few blanks where the user name should be. Something need looking into?

Am using Mozilla browser. Didn't have a problem before the new software.

[jayenram]

Chat room works but I don't see the section that lists who is using it. Still forthcoming?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Still doesn't w*rk for me m*ndl with dial up connection. I did try to log on a couple of days ago on the pub's broadband connection and had no problem whatsover (except having to pay Bht 1.50 per minute for the priviledge).

Thanks George, looks nice and seems to be faster as before.

I am still fiddling with the new 'quote'-feature, guess I will be coming there.

One thing personally disturbs me, the date. 'Today' and 'yesterday'.

When I read a post I might remeber 27th, now I remember 'yesterday'?

'My Assistant' used to have a 'Todays active posts' which disappeared?

This was quite helpful after 'View new posts' to go back to the one or other.

...One thing personally disturbs me, the date. 'Today' and 'yesterday'. When I read a post I might remember 27th, now I remember 'yesterday'?......

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hmm, I prefer to see the date too. Perhaps best - if possible - would be "Today" or "Yesterday" followed by the actual date. There's plenty of room for it on the line.

Woo-hooo! Such service! Thanks George.

[fatter than harry]

Roger, That actually looks like you!

[mandl]

Which one? The tall one or the short one?

[RDN]

Jeez, you're right! OK, I'll stop shaving my head.

re. Smilies not working with Firefox 1.0PR

On my PC, the smilies in the "Clickable Smilies" group work with IE. They don't with Firefox 1.0PR - they did before the Forum Upgrade.

The Smilies in the window that pops up after you click "Show All", do work - both IE and Firefox.

I poked around Firefox and got to "Tools / Javascript Console" and opened it.

Every time I click on a Smilie in the "Clickable Smilies" group, the Javascript console shows one more message. Each is like this:

Error: ua_vers is not defined

Source File: http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/jscripts/ipb_bbcode.js        Line: 352

And if I click on the link, I get this:

//--------------------------------------------
// GENERAL INSERT FUNCTION
//--------------------------------------------
// ibTag: opening tag
// ibClsTag: closing tag, used if we have selected text
// isSingle: true if we do not close the tag right now
// return value: true if the tag needs to be closed later

//

function doInsert(ibTag, ibClsTag, isSingle)
{
var isClose = false;
var obj_ta = fombj.Post;

//----------------------------------------
// It's IE!
//----------------------------------------
if ( (ua_vers >= 4) && is_ie && is_win)
{
 if (obj_ta.isTextEdit)
 {
	 obj_ta.focus();
	 var sel = document.selection;
	 var rng = sel.createRange();
	 rng.colapse;
	 if((sel.type == "Text" || sel.type == "None") && rng != null)
	 {
   if(ibClsTag != "" && rng.text.length > 0)
  	 ibTag += rng.text + ibClsTag;
   else if(isSingle)
  	 isClose = true;

   rng.text = ibTag;
	 }
 }
 else
 {
	 if(isSingle)
	 {
   isClose = true;
	 }
	 
	 obj_ta.value += ibTag;
 }
}
//----------------------------------------
// It's MOZZY!
//----------------------------------------

else if ( obj_ta.selectionEnd )
{ 
 var ss = obj_ta.selectionStart;
 var st = obj_ta.scrollTop;
 var es = obj_ta.selectionEnd;
 
 if (es <= 2)
 {
	 es = obj_ta.textLength;
 }
 
 var start  = (obj_ta.value).substring(0, ss);
 var middle = (obj_ta.value).substring(ss, es);
 var end    = (obj_ta.value).substring(es, obj_ta.textLength);
 
 //-----------------------------------
 // text range?
 //-----------------------------------
 
 if (obj_ta.selectionEnd - obj_ta.selectionStart > 0)
 {
	 middle = ibTag + middle + ibClsTag;
 }
 else
 {
	 middle = ibTag + middle;
	 
	 if (isSingle)
	 {
   isClose = true;
	 }
 }
 
 obj_ta.value = start + middle + end;
 
 var cpos = ss + (middle.length);
 
 obj_ta.selectionStart = cpos;
 obj_ta.selectionEnd   = cpos;
 obj_ta.scrollTop      = st;


}
//----------------------------------------
// It's CRAPPY!
//----------------------------------------
else
{
 if (isSingle)
 {
	 isClose = true;
 }
 
 obj_ta.value += ibTag;
}

obj_ta.focus();

return isClose;
}

So, is it me or is it you?

Anyone else have this problem?

[Axel]

Fixed.
