+Nathan Strum Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Some of the "smileys" in the blog comments for this entry, aren't supposed to be "smiling". (LS_Dracon's, Thomas' second comment, probably a couple of others.) I've seen this in other blog comments too. Not all of the smileys are replaced, either. If I had to guess, it looks like ones with text in them got replaced, rather than ones with just punctuation marks. But I'm having a hard time finding a pattern. Another example, in these comments, I'm pretty sure Thomas didn't put there. In these comments, Cybergoth's doesn't make sense in his post, either. A bunch more are screwed up in these comments, too.

+Nathan Strum Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Here's a fun one. On this page, apparently the preview character limit was exceeding before the closing style tags for the words BONUS LINKS: Because when you view that entry, it displays correctly. Apart from it unnecessarily reducing the images, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Just applied a patch that seems to fix the sorting in View New Content and Today's Active Content. I'd really appreciate if others could test these two pages and let me know if A) the results are sorting properly amongst subsequent pages (that is, you're not seeing results on page 2 that should be on page 1) and B) there are no missing results. Thanks! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure the next forum upgrade is going to be easy, as there are a TON of changes coming in 3.2 with an entirely new user-interface for the forum. I'm already bracing myself for the barrage of complaints that is sure to come anytime significant changes are made (such as the times we've changed forum software (from Ultimate Bulletin Board to phpBB to Invision)). Fun times are ahead! Still no idea when 3.2 is going to be out, but I think it will only be a few months. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_ Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I noticed sometimes it takes a while for a new post to show up in my content. Also when will the forums look cool just like before? (Havent been following this thread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 The new posts since last visit has been working fairly well over the last couple of days at least. There's only a glitch sometimes on the first post of the 2nd and maybe further pages, where a new post slips in. At least I'm not seeing missing or double posts in the lists.

Thanks for the report. Invision has been taking a lot of flack for "View New Content" and related pages not working properly, so this is one area they are focusing on for 3.2 (which is the next release coming in a few months). Good to hear - the default skin just feels cold and depressing - I miss the bright, warm colors. I'm not a big fan of it either. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have the AtariAge skin back (it's being actively worked on now). ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 So why is there this combo box at the bottom of each screen where I can (only) select English (USA)? That is for additional language translations. I just tried installing a German language pack, but looks like the PHP script ran out of memory before it could complete, which I would certainly call a bug on Invision's part. Languages do support a "Locale" field, which normally might affect how numbers (1.000.000 versus 1,000,000) are displayed, but I'm guessing the forum ignores that value and uses the settings in the admin control panel for dates/numbers. It's something I can play with when 3.2 is released. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically the PHP script is running out of memory--this could be a bug, I will investigate it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
