New Forum Bug Reports

[eek]

Go to first unread post button appears to have stopped working

Are you sure? I've just tested it across multiple threads and it always worked as expected.

Are you sure? I've just tested it across multiple threads and it always worked as expected.

Definitely something still up with it. I posted a reply to this thread a few minutes ago, just went back to the topic list just now, saw it had a new unread post (yours), clicked the double-down arrow, and it took me to a post i'd already read. It might have been the last post i read yesterday.

EDIT: Just had similar on the "import to EU thread" (General board). I'd posted a reply earlier, just saw there was a new post, clicked double-down arrow, took me to first post.

NickFitz, could it be related to posting something new not setting the last post read setting correctly, or resetting it?

As this is starting to annoy me

Why does ./core/image.php?userid=20822&dateline=1609937612 display my avatar
yet
./core/image.php?userid=20822&thumb=1&dateline=1609937612 doesn't?

It looks as if you've somehow got some table tags in there. Not sure how that happened; I suspect the quote you posted came from a table, and the editor JavaScript tried to be a bit too clever and screwed it up.

I ended up going into the site database and fixing it there, so at least it can be seen now

Thanks Nick. I'd realised the new forum has more advanced copy-paste which can definitely be a curse as well as a blessing. Just realised there is a

button top-left which lets you hack away as needed.

Noticed that if you are typing a new reply and leave the page, you aren't prompted if you're sure (haven't tested on new posts). And it doesn't store your draft if you go back to reply again. So you can easily lose a very valuable body of work More seriously my trackpad has back/forward mapped to some swipe actions and in the past I've accidentally lost a long reply on other forums by accidentally triggering that.

A couple of minor css changes

at
.canvas-layout-container .canvas-widget {
min-height: 4px; // was 24px

}

.conversation-status-message.notice {

margin-bottom: 15px; // was 22px

}

.pagenav-container {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
// both were 15px
}



that should reduce the header by about 30-40px without impacting anything if a banner needs to be displayed

Cheers! The "canvas-widget" class is used in a lot of places so I need to double-check that, but the others should be OK

I'm getting intermittent issues with it too - its sometimes taking me to the previous "last unread" post mark, although i've since read it.

Trying to find a pattern to help NickFitz out, but it may be something to do with when the unread posts are over multiple pages.

It's being a bit unreliable for me in exactly that way too, though I'm not sure why. It's possibly something to do with the mechanism for keeping track of which posts you've read. I'll keep an eye on it.

Yes, i think its to do with the tracking/updating of the latest post read within a thread, as its still sometimes still taking me to the "previous" latest post.

./core/image.php?userid=20822&thumb=1&dateline=1609937612 doesn't?

That's on the list to fix. I don't know exactly why, but some users have the "thumb" version generated while most don't, and if it can't find the thumbnail version it falls back to the default avatar, rather than doing something sensible like falling back to the full-size one. This is one of the very few bits of code that's the same as it was on the old version, but the old version didn't use the "thumb=1" option anywhere, or not anywhere people looked

And they include that "thumb=1" in places where they don't even want the thumbnail version. As there are strict limits on the sizes (both dimensions and bytes) of avatars and neither of them are huge, I don't think it's an issue to just use the normal version and let the browser scale it.

Hmm, it ought to; I'll have a look.
