...There's a weird thingie with the pop up for the profiles. When you are on a page (say page 2 of the props forum) and want to click on the profile of the last poster, when you hover the mouse pointer over it the little box appears but vanishes when you move to click "view profile", HOWEVER, when you DO click the name, the box pops up and stays but the left half of the box is missing. The very edge of the "view profile" stuff on the left side is clickable though.

Chrome/Win7

Lemme know if you need a screencap for it.

thanks
Chris

Yes and also I have noticed the same kind of thing happening in the personal messages page. when you select a few PMs you want to delete for example... you mouse over the menu at the bottom and it drops down but then you move your mouse to select an option (like delete) and the menu disappears. Sometimes when you click the menu title then the drop down menu will stay but it doesn't always work right. I end up having to click around 4 or 5 times to get it to stick.

We still seem to be getting the problem where someone edits their post and ends up with multiple copies, example here http://www.therpf.com/f45/tos-trek-prop-fruit-apple-maybe-planet-178867/index2.html#post2880687

This still happens to me occasionally.
 
Pics are still jacked up in random threads. I've noticed that in a number of my older posts where I put pics, they've been replaced with someone elses. I thought this was limited to the junkyard, but now notice it in multiple threads.

I didn't read through the last dozen updates so no idea what the status is on this yet. Just putting it out there that it's still happening.

Not a real issue, but just a suggestion. The "Members Online Now" shown on the bottom of the screen is rather long due to the left/right compression of the page forcing the names down. Is there anyway to hide the users online and only show the first three or four lines with an option to show all?

Like I said, this is not a real issue with the forum itself as far as how it functions, just something I think would help tidy it up some.

Also, when viewing forum posts of one particular user, such as myself, and if you use the jump to page option instead of clicking on the page number will result in the following message:

Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms.

Hope this helps some way.

Thanks,

Tom
 
Is there going to be a choice where the screen can be dark with light writing?
I find this too bright for me and hard to read the forum...I really miss the older format.
Also I need to keep my screen at 800x600 and it's not a wide format, so the whole picture is not in my screen, I have to scroll over almost half way.
My eyes are not too good you see...and I know that there are a couple other members that have sight problems too that this might impact.

We are moving to a single look/style for the site. Managing multiple styles has proved to be problematic and in general is an outdated concept dating back to a time when having multiple looks trumped content. We are creating a single, generic look that definitely has style, but doesn't draw attention to itself and instead focuses attention on the content of the site.

That should answer your question.
 
Joined as a premium member on 4/2 but the system has not kicked it in automatically. Don't know if that is something that manually has to be done or if it needs a look into. It did take the paypal payment.
 
I have a question about a board feature, not sure if this goes here or what.

I've noticed VERY commonly that people tend to hit "quote" to respond to specific posts. Lots and lots of times, people will do this in build threads when someone has posted up some photos - they will "quote" a post with a bunch of images, repeating the images over, just so they can put a 2 or 3 word reply after it.

Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this? I know that (very simple!) mods/plugins exist for vB that will convert quoted IMG tags to URL tags. It may even be a stock feature in vB 4, I've not used it myself so I don't know for a fact. Could this be added? Or enabled? Having the same several images be displayed over and over adds nothing positive to a discussion.

This has now been implemented!

This does not appear to be working properly. See this post made earlier tonight: http://www.therpf.com/f9/gravity-gun-half-life-2-done-ish-170422/index5.html#post2883104
 
Maybe its just me but viewing the site on a phone is impossible. I will attach screen shows of what I'm talking about

I can't send a pm or sometimes reply to something because everything is lined up all funky


The folders and subscription buttons are almost invisible and lined up weird


Sometimes my screen goes from normal to this screen several times then gets stuck on this screen


Also I cant subscribe to a thread on my phone. When I go to thread tools and hit subscribe it takes me to a secondary screen where im supposed to hit subscribe but its a dead button you can touch it and nothing happens.

Also when reporting a post it wont let me type in the comment section. Kinda like the subscribe issue. Its a dead area, you touch it to type and nothing happens.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned already, but sometimes when you bump a thread, I think just when you were already the last person to post in it like bumping a sales thread or posting multiple updates without any comments, the thread doesn't move up in the list in the "threads started by" page. Could be the same on the main forum as well, I don't usually browse that way any more.
 
Replying in a thread...........Thread replies time out. Have to log back in. "Auto save" is useless. Copy and paste does not work in replies, to save text. And it clears the field when you have to log back in- even if you open another window!

ENTER button does not work for paragraph spacing half the time. And NOT in EDIT mode. Edit mode also doubles up the text, making it look like you typed everything twice.
 
When I am replying or even just typing a new PM, it doesn't let me hit [ENTER] button to skip down to the next line.
 
Hey guys! I am having serious issues with the Private message portion of the site. If I respond to an email or most times even write out a whole pM it locks up and states RPF has stopped responding. I am having to attempt PMs 4-6 times at times, other times it goes right in. It is rather annoying as some of the emails were longish and were lost forcing a retype. Copying it to "save it" for another attempt is useless as that disappears as well.

forgive me if this has been addressed already. Love the way things are going so far!

I don't seem to be getting the email notifications for my subscribed threads, even the ones i started myself. Before the uplift, which i very much prefer by the way, i used to get 4 or emails a day on various thread subjects, now i have to go and check those threads myself to see if anything has been posted. I get the odd one or two notifications and that's all. Anyone else had similar problems?
