[edit]: Oh, and, as I mentioned somewhere else, vB seems to be showing character references in their raw form instead of actually encoding them (– should turn into this... ...but doesn't).
I'll check with the vB developers about this.
[edit2]: This isn't necessarily a bug, but it's rather confusing. When you send a PM to somebody without specifying whether or not you want a "Read Receipt", a little alert dialog box comes up after you press Submit, asking you "Do you want a Read Receipt?" or something like that. The problem is that the two options are Cancel and Yes. "Yes" makes perfect sense, but "Cancel" doesn't... Cancel actually acts like "No", but you would think Cancel would actually cancel the submitting of the PM. Just changing the Cancel to No would be great. 👍
I would change this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the templates.
The private messaging operations are a little clunky, having to use a drop down menu to perform operations such as delete. Took me a while to find it.
Yes, I agree, it is. But that would require quite a bit of reworking to the PM templates...something that I'm not up for at the moment.
In threads there is no link to go to the last post.
It's in the top left of the blue bar on top of threads, it only shows up when there's a new post in the thread since you're last visit.
The search form in the blue header in threads varies in position. Sometimes centred, sometimes to the left.
It should always be on the right. I'm guessing you're using faultless Firefox?
message area on threads is too narrow.
Common complaint, I will be experimenting with the width soon.
user names on the User side bar are too large.
Odd, but common complaint. It's actually
5 pixels smaller than it was on GTP5.
if you leave your cursor over a header to see a thread description, it doesn't stay up long enough to actually read.
Don't move your cursor and it will stay. That's part of your browser I can't control.
Squish this:
"The following errors occured while posting this message:
1. The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters."
Not a bug.
On the Link to GTP page, the banner images don't show up at all, and the "HTML code" (to paste) for the first banner is wrong... there's no period between "gtplanet" and "net".
Fixed.
As (I think ALPHA) mentioned in another thread, non-IE browsers show underlines for the links at the bottom of pages (Printable Version, etc.). This is actually correct, since the image and text are children of the anchor, and thus the image is considered inline with the text. The top navigation images aren't underlined, since they're not inline with any text. I know that the following will remedy that problem:
<a><img /></a> <a>Text</a>
Basically, separating the two, so that the image is the only child of the anchor. Another way that comes to mind, though I have never tested this and so I'm not sure if it'd work, is to use some CSS:
a img {text-decoration: none}
Again, I'm not positive if that would work though.
Should be fixed now. I know many of you worship Mozilla/Firefox, but I'm sorry, that is just a plain
stupid way to program a browser.
<LI>In Safari, the right side is wacky:
[will post when attachments are ready]
BTW, I should note that the left side is fine, and the right side is actually fine on the homepage... it's only wacky on the forums pages.
I noticed that...can't figure out what's causing it. Any ideas?
This is very minor, but when you Preview your post, it shows the sig much larger than it should.
Fixed.
I've noticed that the "View More" Link for Smiles does not work under the advanced mode of posting. The Huge list for smilies has disappeared also.
You can still access the list of extra smilies at
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/images/smilies/more/. It was quite a bandwidth hog so I removed it from the templates.
The only thing I've noted thus far is that in the showthread.php page, if there's a large image, the whole table resizes, so you have to horizontally scroll to read the thread.
This thread is a perfect example.
It never used to be like this in GTP5.
I think that's because our new layout is a centered table.
- Private messages menu error: It says I'm able to store 500, this should probably be 50.
- I fixed the links to the account option screen in the GTP Lite thread, I also updated the terms (style set is now forum skin, submit modifications is now save changes).
- Last edited by __ still shows up for moderators.
All of those should be fixed, or explained. All old links are now fixed, they aren't broken any more.
