FORUM BUGS/PROBLEMS

[deezelboy]

Hi All,
 
This thread is for reporting software bugs on the Forum or other such wierdness. I'll also update the thread when actual bugs are solved.

Hey! Made it in here! Love using this new forum, feels so.. clean. 
Anyway, its not so much a bug, more than a tweak suggestion. On links, rollover text goes bold, not really a problem yet, but it might cause problems in the future. Maybe making it so rollover just changes to colour, and not make the text go bold aswell. 

[deezelboy]

I agree.  Done!

Refresh your browser so the new settings take effect, and it should be fixed.

Good to see you here, RaV!

[RaV]

Cool! All good! Not long now until we can watch this place grow, Ooo I love eet!

[deezelboy]

I know!

And I can't believe how well O'Malley's template works on this place.  It looks freaking sweet!

[Hicks]

Agreed, seamless. 

[maledoro]

Thanks guys , but it would have never happened without deezelboy's help.? I wouldn't even know where to start.? Coming up with a design is easy; making it actually work is the real talent.

Anyway...Simulation Programs still has the default SMF icon.? Is this showing up for anyone else?

Also, after you post, you're redirected to the board rather than the thread, which might get a little annoying.? Anyone know how to correct this?

O'Malley I should give you an award for this template! Its frickin sweet!

Did you know the forum time is about 30 minutes out of sync even after you've set your own timezones?

Coming up with a design is easy; making it actually work is the real talent.

Bizarrely enough, I find it works for me in almost the opposite way.  I get the designer's equivalent of writer's block whenever I stare at an empty canvas...

Anyway...Simulation Programs still has the default SMF icon.  Is this showing up for anyone else?

I swear I can't see this.  Is it replacing the Alien Experience logo? 

Also, after you post, you're redirected to the board rather than the thread, which might get a little annoying.  Anyone know how to correct this?

Yeah, but there doesn't seem to be any universal solution.  Try this:

1) Click PROFILE on the top menu buttons to access your user profile.

2) Select Look and Layout Preferences from the menu on the right of your profile.

3) Ensure that Return to topics after posting by default. is checked.

Thyat should be it!

Yes.  No idea why that happened, unless the server's time is set approximately 30 minutes into the future. 

Time offset's calculated in hours, so I've just offset it by -0.5.  It's still a couple of minutes fast slow - will that be ok?

Another cool feature - while I was posting above the forum gave me a warning that your new post had just been posted.  Glad to see it works!

[Corporal Hicks]

Ah, it's got that feature. Nice.

Yeah, that's okay. I didn't know you could add .5. I'll alter my timezone then.

Really? That's a nice feature.
