New RPF Sites Issues - CLOSED (please search for or start a thread for new issues)

[Art Andrews]

Oh, also there's no indication as to how full our inbox is...has the limit increased by chance? I am usually near max so knowing how full was always very handy.

This indicator is now at the bottom of your PM page.

Anybody getting this weird amalgamation of text with the last post on a thread?

 

[Art Andrews]

Not sure if this is for everyone or not but Pm's just site they don't actually send, at least I don't think they do.

Also the ads can be minimized but every time you open a new page etc they are back.

Not having an issue with PMs sending. Give it another try.

If we can resolve the sidebar situation, we will simply remove it all-together for Premium Members.

Hi Art, not sure if this has been addressed before or not.
1. From the Title/thread starter page, we can't go directly to the last page of a thread, so we click the thread to open the first page, then click last. It's a bit annoying
2. Why only Judge Dredd group? Will there be another group? Iron man will be enormous, now that it will have 42 suits.
3. Can't upload multiple picture (or maybe I didn't found the way). I clicked insert image, it only got one slot. The color of the tab "From computer" and "From URL" sems to be inverted. Selected on is grey, unselected is white. Normally selected on should be brighter

thank you

This thread: http://www.therpf.com/f71/why-dredd-173615/ will answer vaguely why no Iron Man.

The Profile page still needs some attention as far as padding/margins go. Nothing major, was discussed in the beta.

Thanks for the reminder. Added to the list.

Is the screen width screwy for anyone else? I'm having to arrow over to read the full text. If I reduce my size by hitting <ctr> <-> twice I can see the whole page, but there is no way I can read it when it's that small.

Corrected.

Can you not see the chat link in the navbar?

Not seeing the Chat link in the navbar - nor a link to the Premium board.

It just froze up Safari and I had to force quit. So far so good on restart.

Spoiler tags are comin up with Sho instead of Show.

 

[C0mmand3rC0dy]

will there be color coded differentiation to separate different Junkyard threads with this update, I definitely am squinting here too hah.

Page number text is overlapping other text, as seen here. Safari 5.1.7, Mac OSX 10.6.8

Just tested the uploader within the "Add to the Conversation" box. No problem uploading multiple images. I do agree with you on the selected vs unselected tabs. That is confusing looking. Putting in on the list to correct.

"monkies ate my lunch. no... they didn't. you are seeing this because you are a premium member and we don't know what to put in this space yet, since we don't want to show you an ad."

I don't believe 'monkies' is an actual word. Monkeys and monkey's are actual words.

No I haven't lost it... this would only be seen by Premium members.

I'm liking the new look and layout a lot.

A few minor notes (although not really bugs, I don't think)-

1. On the subscriptions page, the spacing between threads is quite big, a lot more so than in the regular "sub-forums" and "New Posts" page. It makes for a bit more scrolling than should be necessary, and isn't consistent with the rest of the site. Is that intended?

2. This one's not a bug, but I don't like thread lists etc without a line separating each row. When you've got a list that fits the full width of the screen like the "New Posts" page, it can slightly slow me down looking across a row because there isn't that 1px line to separate it. I'm sure that's probably intended to look cleaner, but for me I've always found it to be slightly sacrificing in readability, and in the past I've always just changed the theme when they include (or should I say exclude) that, so I thought it was at least worth mentioning.

Minor niggles aside, I do want to point out that all of the effort and thought that has gone into this really does show, and it looks great. I don't understand the complaints about the colours. The background and text colours are very soft, much more so than other sites people use every day, such as wikipedia, and Google. I think for a single theme site, this is the best possible compromise. The new rotating banners are a lot of fun too.

Junkyard changes?? :confused

Make links stand out more from regular text would help a lot.

I think we can do something there.

Can anything be done about the giant scroller with the ad beside it at the top of the page? It takes up about half the screen real estate meaning you have to scroll a lot before you can even see the list of threads. The sidebar with ads is less annoying, but with both, it gets a little unpleasant.

Not going to make any commitment on that at the moment. The size of that block is actually determined by the medium rectangle to the right.

For the menu at the top, how about opening it on hover rather than on a click? Expandable in terms of number items in the future, but no additional clicks required to access content.

I have found a possible solution for this. We will test it and see if it works.

vBulletin Drop Downs on Hover (no click required) - Page 2 - vBulletin.org Forum

Making the icon for threads posted in more visible would certainly help.

Want to give this one some time. I think after a few days of this, it will be obvious. It isn't at the moment because it is new and much like the difference in the stark contrast to lowered contrast, I think some of the subtlety here is shocking because we are so used to being smashed in the face with the previous icons. If we come back to this in a month or so and people still feel that it is truly frustrating, we will give it consideration.

Creating a little more visual division between the topics in the list of threads would make those pages a bit easier to scan through as well. Reads a lot like a big block of grey with no easily visible links.

I think we can do something here.

Also, I hope I don't sound know-it-all-ish, but these changes should help fix some of the overlaps:

• Share your Fandom button at the bottom should be fixed by removing the position: absolute on .below_threadlist .newcontent_textcontrol
• bottom pagination overlap should be fixed by removing margin-top: -30px on .below_postlist .pagination_bottom .pagination

GREATLY appreciated! Will give that a try! The biggest issue right now is that I am not seeing the overlap in any of my browsers...

Just tested the uploader within the "Add to the Conversation" box. No problem uploading multiple images.

If I type in "add to the conversation" or "reply with quote" and click "Insert image" icon, I can only add one file(or picture) at a time.
If I use "go to advanced reply" and do attachment, yes, I can do multiple files.
Maybe you should add "attach" icon in normal reply view, so we don't need to go to advance view?

I just notice the green radio button didn't lit when we are online? Also I always puzzled on what the square bars under our name.
It didn't lit to green too.

<EDIT> I just realized this. Instead of dark grey, can you change it to green, so it will be more...er colorful?
On docholiday's note below, when we hover REPLY and those button, can we have light blue, so it have the glowing effect and become. On the report post, maybe red

Junkyard changes?? :confused

We have 6 pages of issues with the upgrade. Don't make me reach through the monitor and strangle you...

 

[docholiday78]

The catergories and username blend in with backround cuz its a different tone of grey. I think you guys should put them yellow to match RPF logo or just different color to stand out and make easier to see. Just a thought to help out the old farts like me Just right now couldnt find where to push reply lol

 

[Rylo]

Just figured they were dropping with the new launch, is all...no big deal.
That said, you should be in awe of my reception thus far! :thumbsup
