General site updates, TODO list and discussion

I guess. That will be one thing we'll try when we'll think upgrading to SMF 2.1 soon.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 04, 2015, 07:43:58 AM

That said, I am not looking forward for the upgrade, because this means we will lose many features that are only available via current mods. That's unless their respective authors are still around to update them by then. Also, having to redo the forum theme from scratch will be annoying. >.<

Well, according to common sense, 2.0 -> 2.1 should be less painful than 1.1 -> 2.0. But you never know...

Quote<Hooloovoo> should walrified links direct to a specific post? they are putting me to the top of the correct page for me

Fixed. Links like http://codewalr.us/2/2808 are redirecting to the correct post instead of the top of the page.

I found out why the Simpleportal Recent posts block shows a random amount of topics and cannot show more than about 29-31: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=12186.msg61974#msg61974

Basically, it uses SSI functions, like the older versions of EzPortal, so if in the SSI settings I have things set to only show, for example, the latest 400 posts, then the recent topics block for SimplePortal will only show recent topics in which those 400 posts were made. So basically, if, one day, we had 400 posts in a single topic, then the recent posts page would only show 1 topic.

I'll have to figure out how to change SSI settings in SMF 2.0.9 and if that requires modifying the source code.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's too resource intensive. There is also an AJAX-based mod on SMF website, but it lacks the "New" icon and is buggy. Every other New posts mod is buggy or incompatible as well.

UPDATE: In Firefox and Opera, the iframe version of OmnomIRC shoutbox now shows an image when it takes a while to load. I enabled the shoutbox again to see how it would go since some of the lag was fixed a while ago.

However, in IE11, the image and gray placeholder box will not show up at all until Omnom finally loaded. Instead, a blank space will appear.

~~And in Chrome, OmnomIRC doesn't work at all. It says ERROR: couldn't join channel. You must be logged in in order to chat, even though I am logged in. The loading image shows up, though.~~EDIT: Nvm I cleared Omnom settings and it works now. So only IE11 fails to show the image.

Btw this is what the image looks like:

UPDATE: There is now a way to disable OmnomIRC entirely, as in it won't even appear at all anymore, which can be useful if you use a very old phone or computer but cannot use Tapatalk. To do so, go to your profile, then click "Group Memberships". In there, you will see the "Regular Members (shoutbox disabled)" group. Join this group to hide the entire OmnomIRC block. You can join or leave this member group as you see fit.

By the way, is the PM notification bar visible enough for you? Personally, if people still misses their PMs with such bar in the future, then I don't know what to say

Some smileys have been updated to be the same size as most others

. It might require you to update your cache to view the changes, though.

Could you remove the link decoration for images? It gives strange margin between my userbars? Thanks!

Dream of Omnimaga · January 11, 2015, 12:05:03 PM

I might need to remove all link decoration altogether for this, right? I wonder how would I remove just image link decoration?

That said, I don't see any margin for your images right now in Opera 26. What browser do you use?

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · January 11, 2015, 06:24:21 PM

I use Firefox. Only the image link decoration should be enough.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 11, 2015, 06:33:43 PM

Another solution would be to change link colors to be more visible and remove decoration. I'll see what I can do when I am not busy

Yuki · January 11, 2015, 10:37:36 PM

I think he means image border. So you'd want to set border: 0, I think.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 11, 2015, 10:59:06 PM

Yeah, I could replace the border-bottom with underline to see what happens. I think images are underlined with the underline property, though, so I assume I'll just have to remove that entirely. Otherwise, that could work. Just as long as links remain visible enough.

Dream of Omnimaga · January 13, 2015, 01:02:48 AM

Update: I made the links use underline and made them more blue instead of their former grayish color. Green didn't work too well as it made it impossible to distinguish the staff group, plus it didn't look that great anyway IMHO. But yeah, from what I could see, the firefox signature image issues are now fixed.
