biodork Posted January 15, 2015 Report Posted January 15, 2015 Nice to see the main page working again! Good job, Scott. Quote
SDS Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 Forum was upgraded to the latest stable version of the software. It was also moved to the new server. Shouldn't be a whole lot of difference on the reader end, but you'll see minor differences from time to time. I'm hoping it runs pretty smoothly from here on out. Quote

Shouldn't be a whole lot of difference on the reader end, but you'll see minor differences from time to time. I'm hoping it runs pretty smoothly from here on out. It looks great ... I've been offline for about a week - 10 days. It is taking some getting used to ... the way that quotes are displayed ... Not fond of the dots as a replacement for the Sabres logo to show graphically the number of posts ... the more logos (now dots) the more posts. Thanks again, Scott, for all your hard work in keeping our little corner of the Internet a fun and functional place to play. Edited January 24, 2015 by Sabres Fan In NS Quote
shrader Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 The quoted posts are very odd, at least while reading on my phone. Quote

It was 3am and I know there are some finishing touches that need to be ported over, but I ran out of gas.

I think I do--Taro--you're looking for that little arrow that used to be on left of the quote box, next to the user's name? It's moved to the far right of the top of the quote box. If you meant something else, pardon the interruption... Edited January 24, 2015 by Eleven Quote

Not sure what you are saying. Screen Shot 2015-01-24 at 10.19.34 AM.png What I'm saying is that on my tablet that I am viewing this on, the 'quote' box displays in the edit post box, but then doesn't show up when actually posted. Older posts, predating this latest upgrade show quote boxes. Those since the transition simply display the text. No quote boxes shown, which makes everything run on on itself. I'll see if I can get a screen capture for you. Quote
Hoss Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Yea the lack of a quote box is going to make this forum unusable. Quote

Scott this is what shows up on a Samsung Galaxy tablet. (Sorry, couldn't get a screenshot.) w/out the quotebox, everything runs onto itself. Quote
Hoss Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) The problem isn't with the editing panel. Once you actually post your post with a quote in it there is nothing discerning the quoted post from your response. It's just plain text. http://imgur.com/Ie1kIxN Edited January 24, 2015 by Tank Quote
SDS Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 Try toggling themes. Bottom left hand corner. Go to IP.Board theme. Read, post, then go back... Quote

Taro T Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Try toggling themes. Bottom left hand corner. Go to IP.Board theme. Read, post, then go back... I'd already tried to do that. Clicking the 'Change Theme' automatically scrolls back to the top of the page. For what it's worth, the site works fine on my Blackberry. [Edit: And 'Use Mobile Version' does the same thing on the Galaxy.] Edited January 24, 2015 by Taro T Quote
SDS Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 I think clearing browser cache clears everything up. Quote
Hoss Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 I think clearing browser cache clears everything up. Not an option on iPhone. Quote
Taro T Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I think clearing browser cache clears everything up.Nope. But it was a logical expectation.If it's any consolation, TSW is even more unreadable as the user info that's normally in a box to the left of a post is jumbled in with the rest of the post. This site is difficult to view posts; that one is almost unviewable. [Edit: just rechecked ppp, and on that site, quote boxes are visible, though poster name and date/timestamp aren't showing in the quote box. Not sure what caused that change, but that is the way that site was working on this tablet yesterday. Edited January 24, 2015 by Taro T Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 If you have a reasonably new device with a decent resolution, I recommend just using the full version of the site. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Thanks for the suggestion. Already do that. And the quote box is still busted? Odd. As soon as I changed to the full version it was back to normal. Quote
Taro T Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 Scott, Your latest adjustment almost has this fixed. The quote box shows, along w/ header info, but the text of the quote is outside the textbox. Quote

Taro T Posted January 24, 2015 Report Posted January 24, 2015 From iphone. You da man! It's fixed! Thanks. You da man! It's fixed! Thanks. The fixes worked on your main board as well. Quote
SDS Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Posted January 24, 2015 You da man! It's fixed! Thanks. The fixes worked on your main board as well. Please try over at TSW and see if that is fixed. I just went through the same series of template and CSS rebuilding as well as clearing cache etc. You da man! It's fixed! Thanks. The fixes worked on your main board as well. Main board? Quote
