Forum upgrade - Public beta previewFollow

I'm afraid to ask about the Youtube button. Won't stop me from trying it here, though.

Either way, need a way to block it by default or its going to be the reemergence of Rick Roll.

What do these new tags do when people view the site in non forumtest mode? just look like garbage?

Rating still seems borked.

And someone (Eske?) mentioned a problem using the breadcrumbs to change forums. Using the Zam.com skin, and IE8, I don't have a drop down menu on the breadcrumbs at the bottom of the page.

Also: Second a "hide videos" button.

There's going to be a lot of shenanigans when it comes to youtube. Is it available to everyone, or just premium? Hopefully it has at least the 250+ post minimum.

In regards to the 'hide video' thing, any chance on making spoiler tags not just blocked out, but something that doesn't even load until user clicks show spoilers? This would allow people to save bandwidth for others who don't care to see the content.

As I understand it, the video doesn't actually load until you click it.

Found something with "Your Forum Posts." If you try to get to a new post of yours on a multipage thread , it goes to the first post of the entire thread instead. Threads with two or three pages seem to be fine, but expansive ones that go 100+ pages aren't.

Could we get mouseover post previews on the "Your Posts" page? When the quote pyramids start, the short preview on the page isn't always enough.

That report button needs to be moved, you're going to have a whole lot of accidental reporting going on.

Don't like that I don't see the thread rating unless I pull up the preview.

Looks really sharp though.

Don't reports only go through if you press to 'Submit' on the pop-up message? Anyway, the new button isn't near anything else...don't think I'd accidentally hit it unless I was trying to copy/paste something.

Although it does kind of scream to be pressed, sitting out there all front and center.

Image tags presently require a minimum post count of 250 posts. On the theory that anyone with at least 250 posts has enough time and effort invested into the forum that they aren't going to post really offensive, bannable images. We went back and forth on what number to set as the minimum. 25 seemed too low to really prevent anything. 250 may be a little high, but we'd rather err on the side of caution at first. I'm sure the vast majority of our posters under 250 posts wouldn't abuse the system, but it just takes one person posting something really, really bad to make that limit make a whole lot more sense. As a forum admin, you... see things. Things that you can never unsee. Things that make you fervently wish to protect other people from ever seeing those things. This is why forum admins are sometimes cranky.

Oh duh. Forgot that they're not shown in Forum Feedback.

Also: sub-defaulted posts have some text wrap-around issues with multi-line sentences in their "hidden" view. I just noticed it on some of varus' posts. His text starts to extend under his name. You can see it with this one.

Just a cosmetic thing, though.
