Forum Update

So, anyone else missing the WYSIWYG editor buttons entirely now in Firefox 3, or do I just have my browser configurated wrong?

Also, did the dev/admin post tracker always say number of votes?

Still getting this error when trying to reply to a PM:

Error.
Could not determine the user id. Please check if you typed the username correctly and try again.

~The 'Go to Last Post' button doesn't seem to work anymore, it sends you to the start of the thread.
~Some of the icons dont load some of the time.

Thats all that I have noticed so far, havent really been testing though

EDIT: All the posting stuff seems to be working (love the new quick color changer, any chance of getting a drop down for hyper-linking, smilies and image posting?  Or would that be pressing the Web Team too far :P )

(OMG I HAVE A POTTYMOUTH) crap. Is there really some sort of stop-all on "language" now? Really? What if I go to make a NR post and I write up a character who uses a little colorful language? What if we have a post where Niobe says a swear, is that going to disappear, too? It's going to be weird seeing people doing self-editing, especially since before there was a sort of understood code to cursing, though now anything could be anything. Which is slightly more annoying. It's going to be really annoying going through a seven page story or whatever finding every instance of a word which might be deemed offensive and replacing it with a 4th grade word which makes character dialogue sound like those Orbit commercials.

I'd much rather we could be treated like credit-card carrying adults.

Also: I don't know if it's just me, but I find the new underscored names aesthetically displeasing.

EDIT: There are also some... loopholes within the new filtration system which did not exist with the word filter system.

The first thing that I noticed (which doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet) is that threads with multiple pages are not showing up with the multiple page icons beneath the thread's listing in the subforum. Sorry if that explanation is a little vague.

For example, in General Discussion there exists the thread Register for Fan Faire using the guild name "Bullet Time Operatives"! Half Priced Passes!!. That thread is at the moment 3 pages long. Typically, underneath multipage threads it says "Go to Page: 1, 2, 3, 4..." Not so for the above example. I see some threads that still have it and others that do not. At this point, I don't see anything to point to a reason why that's happened.

edit: Also... half of my post's text is green...

Ohh I like how the profanity filter lets you edit the post rather than simply blitzing it. I was worried after Yassa's post

FireFox 3 Australian English Dictionary, google toolbar:


The WYSIWYG editor has vanished... text box only.


Last post button in the thread listing takes you to your last post in that thread (or the start of the thread if you haven't replied)


I don't have admin access

Kinda sorted out the thumbs up/down Emoticons... they look a little pale though

The line under eveyone's name does look a little strange, but they are links to profiles after all. /shrug

And change the underline to show only while hovering over it, just like the list of those online ^_^

EDIT: Speaking of which:

There are 22 online users: 12 registered, 10 guest(s)  
Most users ever online was 17,098 on 9/24/07 11:30 PM
Connected users: Digita1Spirit  ShiXinFeng  Skull101  SolidRevolver  Vitasenzafine  XXT  Zenotron 

12 resestered users online, but only 7 show.
Though do you have the MODs to be hidden from view when online?  Same with Admin?

I think also the Support forum should be expanded. Running on a 1440x900 resolution it's easy to just skip by it especially for new players who don't know their way around and who will need the help the most.

Well phor some reason, I can't post pics now. :/  also, can't use the phont colors ...at work, using IE

Was phine last night at home with Phire Phox.

Ok the whole "last page not showing correctly" is getting beyond annoying. I say we downgrade from this facy new Vista to the good ol' XP.

I don't know if this is a recurring error, but it is impossible (at least for me) to respond to this thread (the "post reply" button doesn't show up).

I'm not able to either.

Mabey the web team shouldn't touch the website anymore

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...mp;#36300479410 for now i just put the links in for the pics till it gets fixed

What's this? Another utter failure by Web Presence? How could I not see that coming? Oh, wait, I did.

/facepalm

Edit: And extra, empty paragraphs were added to my post when I submitted it. Nice.

Yea its quite annoying when trying to view new posts and not being able to get to them right away. >_>

I think I've phound a temporary 'phix' phor this problem... phor me at least.... this solved it.

Go to your profile preferences, and change your 'preferred number of pages' to: 10

I did this yesterday, and ever since then, when I click on the little last post icon, it works.   And clicking on page numbers work correctly too.

I still can't post pics though.   So I'm very sad.

Click on this:

And delete this part of the image link:

border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></

And it will get rid of the part where it is telling the image to be 1 pixel by 1 pixel which is silly

just testing...

Thanks Well that's one way to do it, but man what a pain!  o.O

Another problem.

When I posted in this thread, the redirect took me here:
http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/...mp;#36300481329
which not only put me on the wrong page (2 out of a supposed 2, when the post actually was the last on page 1), but made it look like it was the only post in the thread.

No consistency in the calculations relating to posts and pages. Pagination is not difficult. The original forum code probably worked (if somewhat inefficiently); what did Web Presence do to break it, and why?

lol, MxO: still in Beta.

Oh, I've found the (a?) problem with the 'latest post' link not working: someone hardcoded the posts-per-page value to 10 when it creates that link. It still uses our preferences when it creates the page lists though, leading to pages appearing incorrectly for some people - and it's why Phluff seemingly fixed it by changing her preferences to 10 posts per page.

For example, when I entered this thread just now, the link had 'start=40' in it, but moving to the end of the thread manually I went through a link with 'start=45' in it (I have 15 posts per page).

Why? Why was the number hardcoded into the link generator? It wasn't before!
