Site Upgrades done (for now)
« on: August 3, 2010, 02:56:18 PM »
As some of you no doubt noticed: I had the forum down for about 2 hours this afternoon.
We are now upgraded to the latest and greatest version of the forum software (yes, we are bleeding edge)

I have also upgraded several of the mod add-ons.

I have, however, removed the google maps mod (again) while we wait for it to actually be fixed so that it works right all the time.

As always, after any upgrade, if you notice anything funky let me know by posting here or in the suggestions and comments board.

Using the default (blue/white) background, instead of a bar at the top and bottom of the page, it instead has a vertical list.

For example, at the top "home" is in an orange bar, but all the other options ("Forum", "Blog", "Help", etc.) are listed underneath "Home", each on its own line, rather than in the bar itself.

Same thing for the "Reply" bar at the bottom.

yeah.... and I don't know why and don't have time to test it through right now.

So, I have discontinued use of that theme for the moment... LOL

I seem to be experiencing a few bugs.  For example, boards themselves don't seem to be available to me.  Also, the text display seems to always revert to a larger font, even if I have changed it to be smaller.

I'm having the same bug, I can open the most recently commented thread but not the board itself, both the links as well as the 'jump to:' drop box result in this error;

I would also like to report the larger than average text in spite of user control, as well as point out that "keywords" appears in every page I load, in the top left hand corner, just beyond the skinning of the page.

Same here. Also the fancy new layout with the planets disappeared as soon as I logged in.

"keywords"?  That actual word or something else?

What theme are you using which has the problems?[

The actual word "keywords". I'll screen cap it for you.



I think that's the standard blue and white theme. I've never really concerned myself with the different ones.

I've found a small graphic error: The field surrounding the "topic you have posted in", "normal topic", "hot topic" etc in the Unread Posts page (works fine in the Unread Replies page though) is a bit too small, leaving the "very hot topic" line halfway outside the field. I'm using the silver theme.

Edit: I tried the default theme and the error is still there.

I am expirencing a bug in IE that I did not in Firefox. The Home - Foroum - Blogs etc. links at the top of the page are listed vertically instaed of the usual horizontal across the top. This is concequently throwing the format of the page off. Also all text is size 14 in the threads.

I'm using Chrome and IE7 and both have the large font fault, IE7 also displays the user info on its own at the top of the page.

Chrome isn't showing the large font for me on the default template.

ok...   I am trying to debug the problems with the blue/white theme.
In the mean time, people can shift to the grey/white "MyWay" theme which should work better.

Just switched over to "MyWay" per you suggestion.

I am not expirencing any of the aforementioned bugs. Although I do prefer the Blue/white. Thanks for the heads up!

As you may have noted:

I reverted ALL previous changes and am in the process of re-installing the features, one by one until I figure out which one caused the errors.
