Forum Feedback - May 2010

Is the Home page down right now? I can't access it. It says I don't have permission to see it.

I think I figured it out. Let me know if you run into this error again.

[Rudy]

It works now. Whatever you did fixed it.

[JeffHCross]

Fixed here too. Thanks cdj.

'Bout time!

Better late than never, right? It was a simple fix, thankfully.

[JeffHCross]

Have to get back to you on that one. Noticed it earlier today again, but upon this return trip I was recognized.

cdj, it looks like it's good. I've been recognized every time since your post.

[JeffHCross]

Do you want forum topics that were active in the past 24 hours or topics that were created in the past 24 hours?

Where'd the "Today's Posts" link go?

[Flav]

Where'd the "Today's Posts" link go?

Thats at the top I'm guessing. "What's New"

That disappeared for me when using the Big Blue skin (which seems to be for 4:3 monitors). If you switch back to the default skin it comes back at the top.

[JeffHCross]

Yep, that was it. Not particularly surprising that it's skin unique.

Thats at the top I'm guessing. "What's New"

What's New defaults to "New Posts", which is since last visit.

I'll work on adding it to the Big Blue skin... as well I'll see if there's a way to have it automatically applicable to any and all future skins but can't guarantee anything.

[JeffHCross]

That was one of the most annoying parts of running a forum. Whenever I actually wanted to change the skin, I'd have to dive deep in the code .. and then remember it for another other skin.

I just noticed the BBQ logo now shows up in my bookmarks next to the link to the site. Nice.

I can't see the entire width of the pictures posted in the dynasty blog for some reason. It cuts off a bit of the right side of the pics for some reason.

For instance, in the top picture, I can't see anything left of the miami logo in the upper right corner.

Anyone else notice this?

Yeah... it has to do with the width of the page on this new template. It's still a work in progress but if you want to switch to the Default template, you should see everything.

Is the first post of every page suppose to have really, really short text borders? On my computer, the text on the first post of each thread is like half of what the rest of the posts are no matter how much you type. It'll wrap it to the next line after like 15 words. Sorry if it was already brought up.

[Rudy]

Well somehow my work's Websense already categorized this website as a gaming website and I can't view it at work anymore. You guys won't be seeing me during the day but I'll still chime in early in the morning and at night when I can.

Yeah, I caught that the first night the site was up. Don't think anyone's had a chance to dive into it. It also occasionally happens with full replies.

Ah man, that's too bad. Sorry dude. Gives you something to look forward too though.

BTW this site is VERY WELL done. Navigation is quite a bit faster and easier than the others. Still works in progress, and still early in how many threads and all that, but the start is awesome. Thanks for taking the time guys. Also by the way CDJ I'm sending that mail soon as I get paid! This is WELL worth subscription for me. I'm in here like 15 times a day haha. (feels like it)

Plus, all the guys in here so far are great! Very good discussion!

Dont know if this is already mentioned but it'd be convenient to have the forum "map" (forgive my ignorance but I dont know if thats the right word) but where it says "forum -> other discussion -> off topic discussion -> forum feedback", is there a way to have that at the bottom of the forum. usually i just scroll down to read the last post on the page and it would be easier to nav back to the forum with this. i know there is the 'quick nav' option, just seeing if this was a possibility...

[Schauwn]

sorry to double post, but I'm also having an issue with the symbols next to the forums. It'll show there is an unread post in a forum, I'll go read it, and when I get back to the forum main page, it'll still say there is an unread post there, and when I click on it there is nothing new...dont know if this has already been adressed, sorry if it has...
