New Forum Bug Reports

[NickFitz]

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.

I think that's another one of those things where they rely on some bit of JavaScript rather than just keeping track of it server-side when generating the page. If so, I can probably wedge something in there to do it the old way that worked rather than the new way that doesn't because it's dumb

I'm curious, quite a lot of IT types run using Noscript or whatever, is the new forum is utterly unusable without all that guff? Or does it fall-back to something more old-fashioned?

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

It's min-height I'm changing there so should only impact large amounts of whitespace when there is nothing in the div.

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.

That would work - but could you add

.avatar {
height: 32px;
width: 32px;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px;
border: 1px solid #DFDFDF;

}

and possibly swap the border 1px with a padding 1px; to remove a pointless border. The avatar forces the browser to rescale so it does all the hard work.

OK, been a few months since I checked out moving a thread and it seemed OK then; I'll have a look. I gather the thread ended up being moved correctly?

EDIT: ah no, it didn't. Will get on it straight away

Don't like the way you can't see the paging control of a tgread in mobile view. You have to go into the thread and then click to go to the last post.

Also the advanced search doesn't allow you to diplay resukts as posts and it doesn't order them. I like to ordee by date in descending order but that isn't happening.

Oh, I see. It's that funny fast forward icon.

More css

.pagenav-container {

1. margin-top: 0px;
2. margin-bottom: 0px;

}

also

.conversation-status-message.notice {

margin-bottom: 12px;
}

it was previously 22px.

Removes a pile of white space on thread pages and as thread titles are on the left you don't gain any benefit as the navigation is on the right.

with the min-height change that changes the header from



to



which I think is a 55 or so pixel improvement in screen real estate.

I don't like the way there isn't AI ban hammer for gricer sockies; it wouldn't require much intelligence to weed them out.
