A log of my posts across the forums.

Hey everyone!

I just pushed an update to the forums.  This update is a big one, made up of a lot of small changes and tweaks.  The most significant change is that we now show which site posts, PM's, and karma are coming from.  This is to help avoid confusion and to spread the word of the other forums and sites.  Please take a look at the change log below for more info:

Change Log:

  1. In posts, we now show which site the posts and each reply came from.
  2. In each user's karma page there is now an icon to show which site the karma came from.
  3. In your Private Messages page, we show which site the PM was sent from.
  4. In the My Replies page (or any user's replies page, see #6 below), you can change a dropdown to show the replies from all sites.
  5. In a user's a profile, the Karma, Posts, and Replies numbers can be clicked for more information.
  6. You can now view the replies for all users by clicking on the Replies # in a user's profile.
  7. The "Reason for Editing" box for editing posts has been removed.
  8. iPad/iPhone/iPods can now send PM's.
  9. In posts, we now hide the buttons (Quote, Edit, etc.) for each reply until you mouseover the reply.  This is to help keep the forums cleaner and to reduce confusion as to which set of buttons belongs to which reply.  The original posts' buttons appear by default.
  10. The "Last Reply Info" column in forums, my posts, my replies, and recent posts has been updated visually.
  11. In each forum, you can now see the number of views each post has.
  12. My Posts page (and any user's posts page) is now paginated, so you can more than 1 page of posts.
  13. Lots of changes to the styles and icons to make them more consistent.
  14. Lots of bug fixes.
  15. Better error messages.

Please let me know if you find any issues with the above or in general.

OMG! Seriously!? Someone couldn't figure out what quote/edit/reply/whatever went with what post/comment...so you guys had to hide the buttons?...thinking this was cleaner and less confusing? Seriously? It's no wonder this site is always screwed with these pointless changes being made. If someone can't figure out these things they shouldn't have a pc. It was so much better and made much more sense to be able to actually see the buttons. They are there....you just made them invisible....why? Really?

I have spent the better part of a day just trying to log in to this site using multiple browsers and got nothing buy one headache after the other. One minute I'm logged in on the main page and then I'm logged out on the forums...and when I try to log in I get this logon.axd/ad/search page. The all of a sudden I can log in only to go to another page and find I'm logged out yet again!? And then when I can finally make a comment I click on the smiley guy above and the smilies are off and running off the right side of my browser like a bunch of escaped convicts in single file....I mean seriously!?

Then I try this idea Doc had about disabling some addons I had and for a second it worked....and then Doc found he couldn't log back after he disabled those addons. OK...someone please tell me the secret code for using this site now. I don't know any other site where you have to copy/paste your comments into notepad or something else to save then in case the site just trashes them. Seriously? No where else do I have to do these things. I never know from one day to the next if this site is going to work. And very little of the things explained that we would have with this new site is here...no easy navigation....trying to finding anything is a nightmare and if you finally get to your homepage you only get to the first page...no "next" or "previous" and I know they are there!...but anyone coming here to this site will have to lucky as hell to find them.

And why am I constantly having these autolinks created every time to try to write e reply now? Why isn't that being fixed? I'm just at a loss to understand any of this...it's just embarrassing to see a customization site with so many site problems that never get fixed...but the stuff that doesn't need fixing....that you fix...well not really because it worked fine before someone fixed it!? This site is just completely insane half the time. I would usually just bite my tongue with these issues so as not to hurt someones feelings...but the stuff is just getting completely ridiculous anymore. It just seems like no one really gives a crap anymore about this site or the people that pay to be members here...and I find myself coming here less and less just to keep my sanity and not to waste precious time just trying to log in and get it to work.

Someone...please....once and for all fix this site so it works like every other site out there so we can all stop wasting so much time trying to get it to work. And stop fixing stuff that isn't broken and fix the stuff that is.

Here's the code... navigate to any other site on the net and *poof... everything works just fine.

I'm using FF 3.6.10 with a ton of addons (including adblock+ with everything blocked) and I was able to login just fine. But I have to agree, trivial things seem to get fixed/added at a way faster rate than more important broken/missing things do.

Steve, could you tell us how you really feel?

Hey! That's my line!

Ok...now I'm logged off on the main page and logged in on the forums! I did none of this...it just happens...how does this just happen? And please...fix the autolink creation thing already!

 

Steve, could you tell us how you really feel?

You don't wanna know.

Don't know if it is related but figured this is as good a place as any-Uploads are not working, getting http error both with Firefox and IE8. Tried three different logons and walls with both browsers.

gosh, sorry to hear that I'm not the only one that has to do this.

on Oct 06, 2010

Yeah I do that too, at least for every post that took me longer than 30 seconds to write...

Gunslingerbara - Lost the other post, but wanted to give you a heads up that the logging in issue was resolved by the cookies.  Thanks for the tip.  I should have known as my doctor has put me on a low carb diet.

Can't way I like item #9 in the original post with the buttons hid and appearing on mouseover, really is quite irritating.

And it adversely affects scrolling with the scroll wheel.

Not working here, I have to login everytime I change pages. I just posted on the WOM/Hankers thread and had to login 3 times to get there. This is getting old.

Hmmmmm ...... soooo   maybe it was not my diet then

But I just noticed on your post that there is a "back" button to the original post when you quote an entire post!!!!  Another very nice feature!
