Forum Upgrade (Fri, Jun 29)Follow

Hovercraft + eels = me wishing the line was back between the name and post parts like everyone else.

MeshaB hit Shift + refresh, should fix that problem.

Yay!! Thank you Drulian. I'm half asleep so forgive that I read doing that earlier in this thread.. They should have rules against posting and browsing forums while sleep deprived.. LOL

That was a hiccup, fixed. Has the centered text stopped yet?

WoW, IE6

Experiencing difficulties with the most recent post in a thread not always displaying the text until it is highlighted.

Short posts do also seem unnecessarily drawn-out. Someone with an avatar and little to no sig has a ton of empty space underneath simply because the accompanying info box is rather long. Not that this wasn't the case before, but it's magnified to the point I might call it a problem. Really, all that needs to happen is truncate the dead space top and bottom of the arrow images. This space looks to be associated with the image considering the way it highlights, but not the image itself since I can't right-click the section and get a picture-based menu, nor do I get a hand cursor. Font size issue perhaps?

Firefox/EQ -- With sidebar hidden, you just have a large empty area where the sidebar would have been.

While you're fixing all the other aesthetical eyesores (cramped posts, no separation between the poster info and the body, rate button justification, etc.), bring back the numbers.

Please?

That's not a score! Scores are values! "Decent" or "Good" aren't values, they're adjectives!

The karma system generally works really well. The main issue I'm trying to address here is that it took too many people rating a clearly awful post down for it to vanish.

I think (at least the the old system) had some rather big problems, but I do not wish to take this thread in a different direction with the discussion of the topic. I also do not wish to bother you with yet another issue while you are still working on all the comments made here. I have discussed the issue in other forums before and there have been mixed opinions on karma. Perhaps in a day or two, once the stress of all these new changes goes away, it would be a good time to reopen the matter for discussion.

Though if you do not mind listening to yet another complainer I would be complacent with pming you my thoughts on the problems with the previous system and a few suggestions for improving it.

Any way to get the minimum post height removed while still allowing the borders to be drawn correctly? If this is just a temp fix then I understand, but short posts have become a lot longer then they need to.

Also, any word on why things that used to take up 1 line are now 2? Examples include: my 10k title, "Add to adress book".

FFXI skin.

New oddity. It seems that you've designed the rating arrows to vanish once you've rated a post, but if you reply to a thread, or come back to a thread, or refresh the thread, the arrows return. And as far as I can tell, I'm able to rate a post more than once because of it.

At least that's what it looks like. Either that, or the scores are taking their sweet time to reload, and when I click the arrow it just refreshes it to what it's suposed to be.

This is the normal time of the night for me when the forum starts acting wonky, so I figure it's just cacheing strangeness. Go sleep, we'll try to not burn the forums down while you're away.
