Hope I’m not jumping the gun here but after encountering a problem within minutes of logging into the new forum I thought it would be wise to set aside one thread where everybody could post about the little bugs and eccentricities they’ve discovered with the new look Snuffhouse. I’ll go first: There doesn’t seem to be any obvious way to change my timezone display and right now I’m seeing several posts from the future, one of which I made myself (most certainly in the past if my memory serves me correctly!) Otherwise, thanks for all the hard work guys. Moving house is never without a few hiccups. EDIT: Threads are displaying in a seemingly random order as well, this thread for example appears two thirds of the way down the first page for me. EDIT 2: Ahh I get it now. This thread is timestamped with the current time here in the UK when I posted it, all threads above it are apparently from the future
the last few comments from “Introduce Yourself” are missing There are no html buttons above the comment box.
I see multiple comments out of order in various threads.
not really a bug , but it would be nice if the page numbers where at the top of the screen instead of the bottom …
Not a bug, but where is the whisper function? Does it exist anymore or is there something new? Also I’m unsure as to the overall site planning. Is this the site that we will be using forever, or is this the temporary site while the other one gets set up? I do like this version but I’m just wondering. PS: In case anyone hasn’t noticed this forum saves a draft of your message automatically which is pretty damn cool if you ask me
Hello everybody I havnt posted in quite some time but I do check in here and there. My biggest concern is that I really liked the look of the old site and will be kind of let down if the color scheme/design is drastically different can anyone shed some light on that detail?
Due to a timestamp error some posts from yesterday seem mixed up. As we passed to the 1st of December the problem is gone now. @John8363 Whispers are gone. We got a proper private message system instead. This site is the final one. @Johndeere89 The colour scheme is as similar as possible. Attachments are activated now. BBCode (formatting of comments) as well.
@devilock76 Fonts should look fine. Are you looking at the website witha zoom of 100%?
Oh well i suppose I’ll survive. on the bright side it does seem smoother to use
The new message count is not resetting to zero when I look at a thread. I am old and my memory is not so good so I don’t know if I have read the thread or not.
Make sure to click. “Back to discusions” at the bottom of the page rather than using your browsers back button. Iwas doing the same thing for a bit
I figured out my problem. You cant use the back arrow if you want the count to update with the new site,. You have to punch the back to discussions button.
Sorry about the fonts post out of this. Yes I know about resizing browsers with ctrl + and - (or scroll wheel) the problem is that highly shrinks the regular post fonts. Something about the fonts (guessing it is the h3 or h2 styles) is just not translating well. TO be fair I am yet to look at this site in a few other browsers and machines. Still it visually looks like a downgrade instead of an upgrade when I see that.
Ken
Update, it looks better today for some reason. Maybe I was that sick yesterday. OK I think I will be quiet now.
Ken
Is there a way to go back to older threads by page. The see older posts method is nice but takes an extremely long time to get to older archived threads
Just thought of something I am veiwing the page from my phone so some feature may not be visible to me right now
@Johndeere89 The mobile version should look clean and easy to use, right?
Didn’t know there was a mobile version! Can’t wait to check it out on my Evo.
Yes its very clean straight forward easy to use
I miss the ability to skip to new post. Now i have to wade though everything in the thread to see the last message. It is also very slow in Explorer.
@cstokes4 The skipping should work. Maybe it takes one or two seconds because its so slow? Do you have Javascript deactivated in your browser?
Okay, I think I figured it out. I was trying to click on something else.
Great!
Which Opera version do you use? Did you get an error message?
I’m getting the same issue as cstokes4. It seems to stall on me and not skip to the newest post. Also the window detects an error and automatically closes frequently.
@Xander Which browser and version do you use?
Internet Explorer 8
I didn’t have this problem yesterday, but when I try to post it tries to close as well on Explorer 8
I have the same problem as Xander, when I click on the comment box to type a comment half the time windows detects an error and it closes the page. I use the same browser and version as Xander.
yea I get an error and it stalls when I try to post also.
The error says “a script on this page is causing interrnet explorer to runs slowly. If you continue internet explore may become unresponsive.” It really sucks. I never now if my post goes thru unless I shut down IE and restart it and come back to the page. I won’t be posting much untill this gets fixed.
So…heres your chance to get rid of me for good. Or at least not read the nonsense that I usually post.
@cstokes4 @Xander @Bart @n9inchnails @Premium Parrots I changed something. Does it still happen?
That’s much better on my end. Its actually very fast now.
Seems normal now, Alex…thanks!
Yep, better!
Same as PP, stalls while I’m trying to post but then, eventually, it does show my message
OK!!! It’s fixed now, no problem. Now, how do I go about to “whisper”??
@Alex could we at least have a OT section?
test?
Thank you Thank you Thank you. It works great now. for a while there I thought I would be forced to “self ban”.
@Pieter Claassen Whispers are gone. But you can send private messages (which is almost the same, but better to track). Navigate to the inbox tab on the top and click the button “Start a New Conversation” on the right. @cstokes4 Lets see how it works out without one. One section means bringing back the whole categories. That’s possible, but I would like to try without first.
@Alex I am fine with keeping everything snuff related in one catagory, I just think that OT post might “get in the way.”
@cstokes4 I’ll keep an eye on that. Lets wait for one or two weeks and decide afterwards. If it really is disturbing, we’ll get a category for that.
Okie dokie.
test…I still can’t post properly
dam…there are still bugs on my end. Also I edited this comment but can’t delete attachments??? The lil trash cans are there but when you click on them this error comes up saying that We don’t have permissions to delete our attachments. Just an fyi
“test…I still can’t post properly” This must mean that everything is working properly now.
@Alex: Is is possible to have a segregated trading section? If so, could it be set up to allow offers and requests to expire after a period of time? That way a visitor would know everything they see is current, and a newbie won’t have to scroll through pages of outdated offers to see the current ones. Just an idea.
Well the one problem is fixed, I’ve posted several comments with no problems but now the new post counter doesn’t appear in the “What’s in your pipe” thread even though new posts have been made
@Xander Auto archiving is possible, but only for the whole forum. I’ll see if there is an suitable addon in development.
@n9inchnails Maybe it takes some seconds to update? EDIT: Just teste it and it worked. Number of comments updates correct. Still doesn’t work for you?
To begin with I couldn;t log in, when in the screen would freeze, couldn;t so some of the mod stuff etc etc but it all kind of dropped away and now its fine. I don’t know what the technical term is but in the construction industry it would be ‘bedded down’. I bet there’s absolutely no one who can tell you honestly why systems go wrong. Im ranting…sorry
@Alex everything is working just fine now
my screen still freeezes when I try to post.
ha!! I also see that it freezes sometimes when I actually typing out a comment. Its kinda funky.
Seems to not be any true bugs with the mobile version but is there a way to make it so u can skip to the end of a thread without having to hit more discussions a million bazilion times? I did find that making a blind post will bring u up to the newest posts but it leaves u hoping the comment wont be out of context no reference intended.
@Johndeere89 Not sure what you mean. The automatic jump to the last unread comment?
@alex for example I hadn’t checked the introduce yourself thread for quite some time and I could not just skip to the last comment I had to continually click on “more comments” to get through several hundred comments. Basically there are no pages to select from its one continuous line of comments. Not a huge problem but inconvenient when im trying to do some speedy catch up on old discussions. And perhaps it is an option on the desktop version but I’ve only been on with my mobile so far. Anyway not trying to be a complainer the new site is growing on me more and more.
Again, pressing back on the browser to get out of a thread to the discussion page doesn’t clear out the new comments.
@matsnuffs u have to select “back to discussions” at the bottom of the page and it will update
I know. I’m just used to hitting “backspace” and having them updated, its quicker for me is all.
@Johndeere89 I see. That’s the supposed behaviour. But there was a direct link at the old version, yes. I will see what we can do. You can still post a comment without being at the last page though. @matsnuffs Looks like the Javascript doesn’t like the brwoser history here. Should be working and I will ask to get it fixed.
@Premium Parrots Do you use an older browser maybe?
Not a bug… A Question : How to delete a notification from my wall? About the OT category… It’s possible to do as some people are doing already… In the start of the title name to write OT Thank you Alex for all the work that you are doing
Hi Alex looks like I use internet explorer 7. I use Vista. My comments still aren’t posting right but I know you must be very buzy so there is no hurry. I’ll get by. They are loading easier than before tho. thank you for all the work you put into this site. We all appreciate it. Thanks.
Thanks Alex!!
@Tashi When you slide over a notification on your wall, a “delete” link should appear on the right side. Note: The Notifications wall is private anyway.
It’s not really a bug, but you can’t use the function to mention members with spaces in their name (as @Premium Parrots or @Pieter Claassen) (I tried using ‘+’ in place of the space, but it didn’t work), so, what could we do in that kind of situation? I really like this new function, so it’s a shame not being able to use it with everyone (though it isn’t an important thing, and I know you’ve already worked too much, @Alex , so if it’s difficult to solve don’t worry, it’s fine this way).
What about just leaving the space out?
doesn’t work
Hmmm…
Bas ackwards then… storraPmuimerP Dyslexians, ETINU!!!
if theres a problem maybe Alex can take the space out and post it like this “PremiumParrots”. I don’t mind…if it helps the board
@Menma I’ll check that with the developer. Should be a solution here.
@Alex , OK, thanks! Also (now that I have a chance to say it), you have my deepest gratitude for building this house. I really cherish it.
Thank you PP (I’m not sure why, but I feel like thanking you). It’s a really lovely song. Well, now, let’s not drift (too much) off topic in such an important discussion!
that didn’t last long now did it.
@PremiumParrots @PieterClaassen I just removed the space out of your usernames so you can get mentioned properly.
@Alex , thanks for the solution, though I hope they don’t dislike it. By the way, couldn’t the developer find an easy way to solve it, with a symbol in place of the space, using a symbol to mark the end of a link or any other thing? Probably the best looking alternative would be searching in the user database to link names with spaces, but I guess that would be too messy. I ask it because you might have to do this again if a newbie chooses an username with a space and wants to get mentioned (and there are more members with a space in their name, though they might not care about the mentioning function). I’m sorry if I’m asking for too much about something that’s not really necessary, but I thought you would want as much feedback as possible.
I never see new posts identified in the announcements except for “What’s in your nose?” The other two never show if a new post has been made.
This is not a bug at all but a request, is it an option to add a live chat? I know we have tried in the past and had difficulty but with the new and improved site I imagine it’s possible?
I think my one request would be for a “mark all threads read” button. Otherwise all good.
@Menma Usernames with spaces came from the migration. New users can’t use spaces anymore. @Xander Really? That’s weird as it works for me. I’ll have a look. @Johdeere89 Still trying to get this realised, yes. @ermtony Don’t get me wrong, but “mark all threads read” is dying out slowly. Ever read every post on facebook? You might want to use the bookmark feature to track the most important discussion. Or the my discussions feature where you easily see if new posts are made?
OK Alex, thanks for all your hard work!
With mobile phone browsers Opera Mobile or Mini about nothing works; can read posts but that’s it. Let’s see if this goes through.
Transfering the domain was breaking the sin in. Now everything works again.
The supporter adverts are not showing rightly.
Hello Alex, A problem remains. The sign in/out tab is mixed with the tab at the right hand tab. It is like that at the start and when the site is opened. Jaap Bes.
Yes, advertisers not showing for me either. Glad all is back. Thanks for the work, Alex. For a couple days, I just figured I had be banned and locked out.
Lol, I was starting to wonder the same thing… what did i I say this time dammit!
Lord, I felt the same way…again
It looks to me like the activity page works as a live chat.
How do I delete my notifications?
@Juxtaposer: Hover over one and click on “delete” on the right hand side. @Snuffmiller: Can you do a screenshot? I don’t really get the problem.
I see that in my activity wall but not my notification wall
Interesting. Well, it’s private anyway.
There’s no search feature at all with Opera Mobile or Mini.
@Alex: Here it is.
I am annoyed by having to scroll down to get to the “back to discussions” tab after posting a comment. If I am not the only one may I suggest moving it to right below the page numbers on the right, along the same line as the “write comment”, “preview”, and “save draft” tabs. Thanks.
I just noticed that too, that there is no search function on the mobile version, also the supporter shops don’t show up on the mobile version either.
And when trying to get down to more discussions I get only multiple Nachman profile pics, that’s weird!
@snuffmiller Thanks. Looks like a problem with older browsers. Do you know the version of your Internet Explorer? @Juxtaposer With the mobile version or with the desktop version? Moving it up might conflict with the functions of the buttons. You don’t want to hit back accidently after writing a long comment. @AllanH Where exactly?
@Alex: I’ve no idea, could be so the laptop is about 5 years old. Jaap Bes.
@Alex Bottom of the page. This is one phone though but I have full browser and no problem accessing other sites and old snuffhouse in all its glory.
I can’t see the supporter shops banners today. Stefan
.@Stefan, the banners were taken to the dry cleaners, will be up again tomorrow/
Lol Pieter. Fair enough. Stefan
Some threads are bumping upward, but not showing that they have new posts on the main page even though they do.
Banners will be back soon. @Xander Weird. I’ll give that to the developers.
hitting the “back” button does count your posts as read, but doesn’t update until the page is refreshed, addressing my problem from earlier, so life is good. This is especially useful for reading posts on page two, btw. Good show, Alex.
@matsnuffs You have to navigate via the tabs or buttons to see the front page updating. This should be fixed in the future, though.
@Alex is it possible to get the toolbar above the comment box back? I liked the spell check, italics, bold, etc.
@Xander That caused the Internet Explorer to break down. I will get it back as soon as there is a stable version.
Supporter banners are back.
@ Alex: but not the sign in / sign out tab they still come in the activity / snuffmiller tab. Jaap Bes,
@snuffmiller You can still use the button below the search field. I will see how we get rid of the wrong position of the sign in link.
@Alex: Thank you and Merry Christmas. Jaap Bes.
Ok, I had windows 7 on my computer and I had some glitches with this website but they weren’t bad enough to bitch about. I really didn’t have any problems with other websites tho. I just switched to windows 9 and everything is just peachy now. So if anyone still has glitches might I suggest switching to windows 9. That should fix em.
