new forum oddities go here

Did you clear Chrome's cookies via the Google Chrome options? It seems odd that it would not work since DD has done a good job getting the bugs out. Hopefully he can figure out the problem for you.

-m.

Maybe you don't have any recent reputation and that's why none is showing up. Check now. (I left you rep)

Yeah that was it, and for some reason 'remember me' is working now.

I don't think the post count restriction is enabled for boards such as ASWGL and maybe even GB. Can someone check into that?

So... the signin problems seem to finally have been fixed for me. Was there an update to the forums recently?

Yes there was :O

went from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 very recently (like within the last 7 days).

Read here for change list if your interested http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/entry.php?2404-vBulletin-4.0.1-Maintenance-Release-Now-Available!

You're probably aware of this, but in that new dark forum theme, the default colour of the text in the user information and signature sections is white, which clashes with the background colour of both (very light blue and white respectively), making it impossible to read without highlighting it.

Like I say, probably a known issue, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

Woo now IP Board need to just fix the damn bug where having mutiple forum sections open in multiple tabs will render everything as "read" during one of your later visits.

This has been bothering me for a while now.

As I look down the threads, some people's posts fill the entire post area, and other people's posts only fill about half of it. Here's a brief example of what it looks like:

Oh hello, I am a long sentence and I'm going to go on and on until I get to the end of the screen and
only then will I wrap.
Oh hi, I'm the second post and for
some weird reason I wrap much
farther to the left.

For a real example, see the Mega Man 10 thread. The first post wraps at about 75% of the page width, the next few posts fill the page width, then Mottzilla's page-ending post wraps late. The next page is the same story; 1st and last posts wrap early.

At first I thought it was idiots that believe you have to press enter when you reach the edge of the text field in the browser. Then I decided Mottzilla was too smart for that. Then I noticed my own post displaying the behavior and that's when I started noticing the 1st/last post pattern.

For some reason, the first and last post on each page wraps with a much smaller margin than the other posts. This is curious. It happens in IE as well as Firefox.

*edit* Another oddity: this post currently wraps early because it is the last in the thread. If I click "edit" then the whole editing UI is crammed into the small space. When I save the edits, the text of the post fills the entire width.

Yeah, I've noticed that too Atma, and it is quite annoying.

That's, that's a very cool discovery you got there lol. I never would have noticed it.

I mean, if I look at a thread that consists of 12 pages and I am currently viewing the first page. I can either go to the last page or up to 3 pages ahead, I can't choose the exact page I want.

When doing a search, the total number of posts appears to be affected by the above bug too.

edit: Also can't search specific forums only.

"Newest post" feature doesn't work on threads containing new messages, it takes me to the first post of the page containing the unread post.

It seems to be working now 😊

"Advanced Search" link in the top right of each page should not take the user to http://armageddongames.net/search.php it instead should take users to http://armageddongames.net/search.php?search_type=1 as it lets you choose specific forums to search within.

The log out feature does not work on the ZC website. Also, it appears that sent PMs are not being saved to our outbox anymore.

The same also goes for logging in; the http://www.zeldaclassic.armageddongames.net/zclogin.php script is broken:

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/armaged/public_html/zeldaclassic/zclogin.php on line 2

Warning: require_once(./global.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/armaged/public_html/login.php on line 41

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php'😉 in /home/armaged/public_html/login.php on line 41

The zeldaclassic login/logout problems should be fixed. I can also confirm that PMs aren't being saved in Sent Items... I'll report this to vB and see if I can fix it.

What's wrong with the Advanced Search?

Here, replace the link mentioned in the first image with one pointing to the same place as in the 2nd picture.

Why is 'suicide', 'whore', and 'banana bread' in the top 44 most searched for tags?!

Is that a joke or have bots developed the AI equivalent of a 7-year old?

EDIT: On a related note does anyone else get a random "syntax error" sometime when trying to go to the main index? It just started happening every so often. If it happens again, I'll copy the line to notepad, and post it here.

Someone kept trying to hack the site and insert a bunch of spam links, but did so incompetently so that it broke the page with a syntax error instead. Looking through the access logs I found the script they were using and deleted it...

I notice this too sometimes. It seems to be when I start a thread, or edit a post when it "wraps" early.
