New Forum Bug Reports

[NickFitz]

(I'm not sure whether this has been mentioned before, but I've checked the last 6 months worth of posts in this thread and couldn't see it.)

If I look at one of LadyMuck's posts, the stats currently look like this:

Posts:18583
Thanks (Given): 2,956
Thanks (Received): 4,577
Likes (Given): 41,981
Likes (Received): 21,515

I.e. the "thanks given/received" and "likes given/received" all use a comma for formatting, whereas the post count doesn't. It's not a big deal, but I'm surprised that the forum code doesn't use the same formatting function for all of them.

(I picked LadyMuck as an example, but this applies to anyone where those quantities have exceeded 999.)

The thanks/likes stuff is done by a third party plugin, hence the difference. Good catch - I'll see about tidying that up

But more importantly where is my birthday message and my rep?

I need to dig into the rep stuff to see why it was causing problems, though I suspect it may be fairly easy to resolve once I've implemented the fix for the likes/thanks-on-long-threads problem.

Not sure about the birthday message; I got one last year, but my birthday isn't until April so I'll have to wait until then to check again

But I'll also check the system that sends out forum emails, and see if admin is aware of anything that might have stopped it working. It's possible there's been a config issue with that, or something along those lines.

When liking a post

If the person you are liking has a full messagebox / mailbox - the following pop-up alert appears

Click a Button
Error Saving Click: Can not send message. User cojak has exceeded their private message quota.

It also means you can like a post multiple times (as I did while working out exactly what was going on).

Post (for reference) is https://forums.contractoruk.com/acco...ml#post2916931 but this is now true of any like / thanks you give Cojak.

Yes, it's best to only like posts by people that nobody wants to talk to

I'm going to end up completely re-implementing the thanks/likes system at this rate, but then again, it needs it

I don't think I got a Happy Birthday message from CUK even through in Control Panel under Notifications I have it ticked to allow Birthday messages.

Also, has likes, thanks and rep gone under Profile again?

Not a bug report but a question, are tags still a thing? I couldn't see any in my search for a "RuinedByAtW" option.

Since changing my avatar to enter into the Christmas spirit, I no longer have a 'Reputation' option under My Profile

Yup, same for me.
