Forum Issues And Suggestions

[Tywais]

Since the new version of IPB (3.1.2) that we have been waiting for to correct various problems has been implemented I have closed the old topic and started a fresh one in order to easier keep track of issues.

1st off, it is advisable to do the following if you see an issue to see if it corrects it before posting here.

1. Do a CTRL + F5 to force cache renewal and reload the page. If that doesn't help then follow the below.

2. Log off Thaivisa

3. Clear your Thaivisa cookies either from your browser options or at the bottom of the forum page (Delete My Cookies).

4. Exit and restart the browser and login

5. If the above doesn't solve the problem, clear your browser cache. If a problem still shows after above and may need to wait until your ISP does a cache refresh which could take a couple of days.

6. Last but not likely an issue, clear your history.

If the above doesn't correct your problems, please report in this topic rather then starting new topics for each problem.

Hi Tywais,

Looks like the sign in issue may have been fixed.

I see the same problem. I believe the Gallery is a separate module from the main board and may require a different update.

Since the latest upgrade, formatting commands (such as <BR>) continue to infiltrate into posts. Example.

.

When using the Forum editor to reply to a topic, all of the control buttons and options that were there before are missing - such as the button for embedding Links or Images, as well as the option to change font, bold, italics, text color, etc. None of these options are displayed.

How can this be corrected? I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

I've been getting a lot of these "bad" emails lately - the wrong thread title in a "Your daily new posts digest" email:

Just found another one:

There's an intermittent glitch that appeared since the new version upgrade. It's still there after yesterdays maintenance.

When posting a quick reply I press "post", my post vanishes, the page refreshes as the main forum page not the thread I was posting in.

It only happens intermittently and doesn't affect all threads. Last night it happened twice when I tried to post a reply in the Pattaya forum on clothing duty. I gave up trying to post a reply.

I made posts prior to and after that glitch without problem. I experienced the same a few times after the update but never experienced this on the old version.

Farma, whioch browser and version are you using? Please clean your browser cache and restart the browser. Could you please try with another browser and verify if this problem persist? Thanks.

I am NOT a fan of the new attached photo viewing system. I used to be able to right click on a thumbnail photo and open it in another tab. This would allow me stay in the current window reading while the photos loaded behind. But now I have to sit and wait for the each individual photo to load, not fun at all when dealing with the dailup like speeds offered by Thailand's ISP's. Now Google images is doing something simaler. I really hope this isn't some trend where we decrease functionality for the sake of seeming "fresh".

Change it back please!!!

All I get when I select the search wheel is the top half of your screen shot and don't have the option to display results as posts. Confused..?.

There is a row of options, Help files, Members, Forums, etc. Be sure you select "Forums" as that is where your content will be. The other options will not show the Display Results option.

The new sidebar adverts are screwing up the Samui forum.

It is still a pain in the xss clicking on photos that are posted in TV and not reduced to 800 x 600.

Would it be too difficult to change the system so that when I use "Click to Attach Files" the system automaticly reduce the files to 800 x 600 when they are saved in your system?

Best Regards

Can you take away the "Promote to article" button on every post.

Obviously only Mods and Admin can do that.

I thought first that this was for suggesting mods to promote this, but it's not.

Error msg:

[#10CCS6] You do not have permission to promote posts to articles.

My suggestion for the forum is to immediately stop using the vertical ad bar on the right hand side of posts. Put ads HORIZONTALLY and not vertically so that they don't steal space from my browser. 1/5th of my browser window is wasted on this forum because there is an ad taking up a little space on the first couple posts and then a huge white space the rest of the way down through the rest of of the posts. I thought it was a mistake at first as I couldn't believe someone would actually do that, but it's been a couple weeks now. A vertical ad for the first post or two and then wasting the rest of the space all the way down does not encourage me to click on ads more or buy their products, it just annoys me. Horizontal not vertical people

[zzdocxx]

Dunno if anyone has asked this already -- Is there a way to disable "page preview" on the New Content pages?

Because as my cursor scrolls down the page, as it crosses each new content thread, that page preview thingy changes the number of lines in the thread title box, thereby making that row change from (typically) 2 lines to 3. It makes it hard to track down the page.

So is it possible for me to disable this?

Thank you.

This sounds like the "login" problem. I had it until recently.

Try to delete every Thaivisa cookie you can find. They are in your browser and in your cookies folder. Delete them all because it is probably the old ones, from the previous forum software, that is causing this.

I haven't had to log in for several days now after deleting them all. I had to log in once, of course, and then the cookies were refreshed automatically.

Also, you now have to log in once every 7 days, according to George, so I guess the new cookies "expire" after 7 days.

[Tywais]

My understanding is that is only if you have not logged in at anytime within 7 days as the cookies get refreshed with the time when you connect. I've not had to log in for a few weeks now since the cookie upgrade. For those having the login problem, use JsetsetBkk's suggestion or read the first post in this topic.

[opalhort]

Just for information, those are the cookies planted by TV under the new software (as far as I could find out):

Only two of them expire within next week, some expire when browser is closed and most in 1+ year(s).
