Upgrades done...
« on: November 8, 2011, 09:13:05 PM »
We are now running SMF 2.0.1  the latest and greatest!

It went much faster than I expected. Fairly clean... Let me know if you see anything obviously wrong or broken.

Unfortunately, it looks like our portal mod package did not fully install - so we're missing the nice left column and homepage - but they should be back shortly!

hmmmm.... there seems to be some spacing issues with the various themes in the thread views and post screens...

When posting messages, I appear to have a HUGE scroll bar to deal with like the default posting window is 1,000 characters wide. This that what you mean?

I spontaneously recieved a funky new theme as well.

No big issue, just wondering if anyone else did.

I also am getting that problem, so it's not just you.

*EDIT*

And yes, new theme

I don't have the weird scroll bar everyone's mentioning, but is there a way to regain the old theme?  I miss it and the new ones aren't as nice.

unfortunately, the old themes were not compatible with the upgrade. They have all been removed and I am in the process of searching for some suitable replacements. The one that is the current default is the one I found that was decent, black, white and grey -- and more importantly, I found it quickly.

There are a few options in the theme list now, so you should be able to pick one....  I'll also be looking for one or two others that would suit.

Also...   the giant post box should be fixed now....    use CTL-F5 to refresh your browser if it's not...

Yup, big scroll bar issue is gone. Mission accomplished early and under budget.

Edit: Very small matter - could you add ditching the default trade count off profiles to your list of things to fix.

Looks good once I update the post reply page, although it still is super-wide at first, will that go away?

Any chance you can explain the new post functions? :)

Super speed upgrading there Kindred, I'm impressed :).  Great job.

I'm not a fan of the new theme though, so I switched back to the previous SMF default curve.  Just out of interest, will the old icons that went with the tabs (Home, Blogs, Forum, Help etc) be restored, or have the changes removed these permanently?

Edit: I've noticed that stars are not displaying correctly for moderators in the new default theme, but they're fine using the SMF default curve.

Edit 2: The reply icon doesn't appear to be displaying correctly when using the SMF default curve theme.  It's not a major issue, but I just thought I'd let you know.

It would appear that there is no wrap around either when replying to a message. Once you reach the side of the text box, the characters just disappear off the side of the screen though they are still there.

Ah, there we go. That also fixed the text wrapping issue I was having also :)
 ??? I loaded the page long after that message was posted this morning so I didn't think refreshing would solve the issue.

doesn't matter when the message was posted -  what matters is when your computer last cached the CSS for the site...  if it was cached before the upgrade, then your cache has the wrong CSS and you need to clear the cache. CTRL-F5 forces the site to ignore cache and do a full-load on Windows machines.   Dunno about macs.... :P

Irisado... oh, yeah, that....   I dunno what causes that.   I'll look at it, but since it's just a little cosmetic thing, I'm not going to rush. :)

No problem, I wasn't expecting you to rush, since, as you've just said, it's hardly a major crisis.  Just something to look at when you've got a spare moment in the future if you feel inclined.

As Rummy says, everything else is working well, and I haven't come across any of the glitches that have sometimes occurred following previous major upgrades.  It has been a pretty easy transition :).

Oh yeah... I forgot that I had manually updated that last time.   Yeah, over the weekend, I will try to correct that one.

Okay, my text box issue seems fixed... good times. However, I do have to say that I received an e-mail from Commissar Robo with this:

Quote
Hey Oink, comissar robo here.
I tried changing the theme of the new site and every time I try to access the site, from different browsers, I get this message;
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in /home/fortyk/public_html/community/Themes/multimilk2_1-0-1/index.template.phpon line 111

There is definately something going on.

Maybe we don't like Commissar Robo...  ??? though who knows when this might strike out as someone we do like!  ;)

He attached an image of the error in the message too, if you want more info then you can pm me and I will forward it to you.
