TWHL3: The Buglist

srry: you're right about the entity guide. ant wanted to make more pages like it (for listing categories, etc), and i strongly opposed. i'm sure the entity guide page will be changed, and those big icons are just a placeholder until we make some new graphice for the categories

as for bbcode on the front page, i've left it the way it was before: only img tags are visible on the front page.

daubster: the shoutbox live page needs an update, this should be fixed in time.

hunter/everyone: the bug stopping externally hosted maps from being added to the vault has been fixed.

Okay, this is getting on my nerves. Whenever I hit the back button, it always brings me to the top of the previous page I was on instead of keeping my place on the page. With the option of small-screen TWHL now gone, it's even worse, since you have to find where you were on even longer pages.

Speaking of long lists, have you considered that not everybody wants that many posts on one page? Honestly, I've never been on a forum where the pages were as long as they are right now. I'd really appreciate it if I could select how many posts per page I wanted. Smaller avatars would be nice too, but I guess you can't have everything.

Number of posts, yes.
Small avatars, yes.
In time.

Keeping the place of your page has nothing to do with the site, it's your browser. So there's nothing I can do about that.

Well, I swear it always kept my place on the page before TWHL3 came around, so something must have changed. Whatever.

I'm stuck at 170 logins???? I've logged in 5 times over the last week and I'm still at 170???

#EDIT# Someone probably already mentioned this but I don't have time to read through this topic, The avatar pictures overlap the edge. Sorry If this is already known...

#EDIT AGAIN# Why does the Logout button have to be on the front page. It was very convenient to have it on the side. You don't have to change it, just airing my thoughts.

srry/everyone: customise your forums in your control panel profile edit. you can set how many posts in a page, and you can choose whether to use small avatars or not.

To get the shoutbox to work with IE7, replace this line in shoutboxlive.php:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jshax.js" />
with:
<script type="text/javascript" src="jshax.js"></script>
I have no idea why IE7 does that, there's nothing wrong with the code.

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-24 04:58:13 UTC Post #246496

Thankies for those new options. Though I'll just keep the avatars as large ones, since using the small ones doesn't seem to have any advantage anymore. Instead of the space being used to compress the height of posts, it's just going unused. Yeah yeah, I know I'm being really picky.

By the way, I thought I noticed something was missing from the front page... and I was right! What happened to the recent and top-rated maps? Did you just decide to dump them altogether?

Posted 16 years ago2008-02-24 05:19:27 UTC Post #246497

unfortunately the new CSS layout limits the possibilities for variable-sized posts - such that only the field with the text in it can change the height of the post, one (the avatar) has to stay fixed.

recent maps are coming back in a slightly different form, but i haven't nailed down the motm code, and there's still one or two issues to flatten out before it goes back up again.

This is a known problem. A fix is currently not known.

Lol!

Now i'm probably being picky, but the text at the top-right of the page, Where it says "Welcome our newest member.... etc" doesn't stand out too well what with the HL symbol behind it. Maybe a bold or enlarged font?

Found two mapvault related bugs.

When I posted my latest map I setup: No Ratings by not ticking the box "allow ratings", yet habboi could rate it, but in the vault it still says "Rating disabled". Yet, inside the map info there is a rating possebility?

AND

I did not get a PM when habboi commented on my map even tho I ticked the box saying "PM on comment"

There's also no "My Maps" section in the user CP. The only way to access it is clicking the link in the MV page of any map you've submitted.

Well I think the whole Journal and map thing is a bit messy tbh.
The way of getting to them is not as easy as before.

I don't think that the control panel fully serves it's potentional use.

It's not a cache problem because do my internet at cafe's. almost On a different computer every time.

P.S. I am at 171! Did you fix it or was it something else?

#EDIT#

http://www.twhl.co.za/vault.php?map=5022

Why is my post at the top of the page yet it is the oldest??????? You can't have reversed them because i posted on the 24th, the next one is the 22nd but the post at the bottom is on the 23rd??

eg.

Posted - 24th
Posted - 22nd

I think it's to do with Seventh's bio but whatever it is it's making the table overlap. Quite an ugly problem

EDIT: Perhaps when all the big bugs have been squashed you could compress/optimize the control panel icons on the front page? They're all ~40kb each somewhat unnecessarily, especially considering TWHL's lack of bandwidth.

Topic alerts function working weirdly. Whenever i relogin the topic alerts are no longer displayed, if the thread had new posts while i was offline, or if i didn't go to a thread with the alert the last time i was online. Or is it supposed to work that way? Though i seriously doubt that.

I don't know if this is the right place for these as I'm not sure if they're bugs or by-design. They're also quite pidly/nitpicky, so let me know if you want me to tone down my stream of suggestions of this nature! = )

1. Recent/new posts functionality
-make a link or hidey button where you can expand the recent posts list to a bigger size... say like 10-15.

-Maybe only show the last post and not each recent post to a thread (this way your not looking a 5 posts from the same thread in "new posts" (not sure about this but putting it out there)

2. Put a pm link to map vault moderators in map vault table of contents, and maybe moderator PM links for the PM table of contents (redundant, but might be ok)

3. PM inbox

change the design to differentiate old/new messages like colors or what not.

4. Make the hyperlink text in threads bolder or bigger than normal text. I also miss the brown color, but that's me...

That is all. Carry on. = )
