Title: Upgrade Complete!!
Post by: TWCToday on November 09, 2009, 02:13:18 AM
Welcome to the new and improved forums! :) We are still restoring some things after the update so the forum may go down every now and then. Please report problems and errors you notice in the forum here. Thanks

I have noticed that huge bug about the "Account Settings". It seems that you get a fatal error on that. Not to worry as this problem has already been reported. ;)

Before you all go and say "omg, something's going through the logo," I fully intend to look at that in the upcoming weeks and will modify it so it's uniform and looks pretty. But as always, with any other forum upgrade, I highly recommend clearing your cache and cookies for the site.

Double post.... I found a bug... Page numbers seem to be going weird... It seems to be going by post number in that thread instead of pages... Like for instance, the General LF Discussion thread.... Pages: 0  ... 2190  2205  [149] .

Other than the bugs listed above, everything else looks and works great!  I hope all of you are able to fix everything. :happy:

What logo? :dunno: The TWCT logo? I don't see a problem with it (except that it is on a [non] Hurricane Ida Storm Alert.)
The background underneath the TWCT banner logo is not uniform as there are two different areas of gray.  Jesse wants to fix it so that the banner is on a solid and uniform background.

Since the upgrade I have been able to see that members have been warned (the "watched" indicator displays under their name). Pretty sure this is a bug as I wouldn't think people would want everyone to know that they were warned.

When switching to the new theme, choose "Square1". Works much better than the first time we all used it.

I noticed ever since you put up the new theme, it has the page numbers counting by 15 starting at 0, but when you're on that page, it has the normal page number. :blink: :wacko: :blink: :wacko:

And on the old theme, there's a bit of a fonts issue. :P

Whenever I send PM's to people, and then use the preview feature, slashes automatically appear next to any apostrophes I type. This has been occuring since the board upgrade.
Title: Re: Upgrade Complete!!
Post by: jtmal0723 on November 13, 2009, 12:45:01 PM
That's amnother under the hood issue that I will have to research... whatt happens is basically, when a post is added to the database, slashes are added to cancel out the apostrophes so that code breaks don't prematurely end. Somewhere between post retrieval and displaying, the function to strip the slashes is missing... Simple fix, just a. Matter of where in the code the fix goes.

A lot of the actions on the online list seem to be "unknown" now, in case you haven't seen this.

Also, the stars to the Hero Member, Meteorologist, and Site Designer are still not loading on the old blue/white theme.

I think you should switch to the new theme. :yes: The bugs, etc. are probably being fixed only on this theme because it is the default. ;)

Thanks for fixing the "curve" Jesse. Looks great! :thumbsup:

Also, it might look nice if every member position had either all stars or all squares. :yes: Looks kind of strange to have both, but this is just an idea and does not have to be done. :)

It's been that way ever since the upgrade for me, too.  I doubt that much can be done here, and it's only a minor issue.  The major bugs from this upgrade have been fixed, so I'm happy with everything now. :happy:

Yeah, I noticed that too. :yes: I wish the "Home" Link at the top could take a person to the main page of the site and maybe rename the label to "TWC Today Home." This, IMO, would make more sense than linking the forum logo to the main site page. :yes:
