Site Updates

[lowzeewee]

More than half our registered members made 5 posts or less, then disappeared forever.

That being said, everyone please welcome member number 2000: Jester. Will there be a party now? Do we get cake?

[Kiyouta]

If we're gonna ride this train we might as well crash it...

This post...

I say we celebrate 2000 members, then delete the inactive ones so we can celebrate 2000 members again in 2 months ;)

I don't think I want to know the activity of members. Unless it is better than last reported.

Noticed in the memberlist, that the bottom pages where you click what page to go to, the numbers are white. They are not orange like the top numbers.

Have something to do with <td class="titlebg" at the bottom and not at the top?

...is #3333 in the Site Updates thread!

Hmm, the latest front page news story has some weird boxes in it in opera, which are question marks in Firefox, and...apostrophes in IE.  FED2k using IE-specific character encoding?  For shame!

[Gobalopper]

Looks like Mahdi included some odd characters in his post. Should be fixed. Most likely IE just ignores characters it doesn't understand while other browsers show a question mark, box, etc.

Ok I've updated the forum, there might be some bugs as this was a fairly major upgrade. Let me know if you found anything odd.

The only thing that may not work correctly initially is the "read" status of threads. The upgrade changed the way that is done so it may not remember correctly what the last post you had read was.

Tons of icons have changed. Does this coincide with some New Years' theme?

Also, the smilies list seems to have been duplicated. Now I have twice the number of smilies.. or something like that.

[erjin999]

Agreed. I have a whole row of them.

Lets try one...   ::) First one is from the right set (second set) and the right one is from the first, left set !

First one says : rolleyes : whereas the other one shows as : : )

[Andrew]

At least the default thread icons are better than the previous default set when upgraded.

[Dante]

Ooo, shiny green boxes...

I guess there won't be cake? Aww.

[Andrew]

The "new" post thing doesn't work, even after I clicked on it it went to first page, then a new reply came and it still went to first page.

[Gobalopper]

Ya I'm going to look into the new thing and I know about the duplicate smileys.

[Gobalopper]

Both should be fixed.

[erjin999]

Oh My Gob !

Gob double posted instead of modifying his post ! ;D

I am sensitive to things like that.

[veK]

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger erjin  ;)

[Andrew]

The "It's Christmas" thread, clicked on the new post link, and it took me to the bottom (last) post. I don't remember viewing that thread before.

EDIT:

Christmas thread took me to the bottom again, and missed some posts.

[Gobalopper]

Please post the link you used when going to the thread. That way I can know where it was taking you and if that is incorrect or just something weird with your browser.

Chemistry thread. Took me to the last one, but I didn't see the post before it. Doing it in every thread (ID thread that 3was locked).

Using IE 6.2.2800.1106

Might try firefox later, but it is so slow on this computer.

EDIT:

Think underwater war thread did same thing.

EDIT for Monday:

http://dune2k.com/forum/index.php?topic=18409.msg296292#new

Happens in Firefox 1.5 as well.

I deleted cookies in IE and Firefox, did not work.

[Andrew]

Still take me to the end of every thread.

Noticed the game support boards were moved under the respective game categories. Good thinking, probably less posts in the general technical support for them.

[Kiyouta]

Confused me. >:( I mean, the one time I decide to play Emperor and get problems, you MOVE the forum. Uhh I'm disgusted, ain't ever coming to this site again. ;D

[Gobalopper]

I think I found the problem, hope to have it fixed tonight.

Ok sorta done. Might change a few more things... we'll see.

[gunner154]

FED2K has changed forever.. ::)

I seem to have this problem with signatures.

Signatures without pictures in them do well, but if there is a picture in it, the space available for the signature is too small for the picture, thus all text of the signature under it overlaps the next post.

[gunner154]

Can you point out an example? My signature, for example, doesn't have any problems.

Timenns post is affected by Gunners. Mine seems to do the same, somewhat less. The sig size fits the pic perfectly, but any text thereafter overlaps into the post below, if there is one.
