IPB 4: Info and Error Reporting

[Decay]

Not saying there isn't a problem, but you could perhaps not be searching as efficiently as possible. You could use quotation marks to search for an exact phrase for example. Searching for "Anime Openings" in quotes yields this: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/search/?q="anime+openings"

Oddly enough, it says that there are 0 results. Then it proceeds to list the results, one of which is the 2013 anime OP/ED thread by solidbatman (is that what you're looking for?).

[Nosebleed]

I had no idea you could do that here.
Interesting, I guess IPB implemented the same tagging system as Sad Panda, good thing I'm used to it. 

And it wasn't that thread, but I found the thread I wanted which was this one (hence why I searched op and not opening).
Thanks for the tip, Decay.

Although if you search for a single word you're still in a bind.

I tried to add a url link to one of my existing blog posts.  The editor completely refused to accept it.  I was able to edit a url in a different post, but it required more than one attempt.  Overall, the url editor seems to be pretty buggy.

On mobile.

When I view my profile, is the reason as to why there is that grey area under my header because of my resolution size, or is that an issue on the sites side?

Oh yeah, speaking of buggy URLs, here's something I found last night and promptly forgot about. It's probably a bug in the core invision code and thus not fixable but I figure I'll report it anyways.

Add img tags, then between them add a url to an image. It tries to paste that url as a link. Then around the tags click with the mouse or press the arrow keys with the cursor over them, and watch as it adds junk characters to the post.

The image will still be properly embedded, however.

Someone may have already brought this up but this morning I saw that for some reason I was no longer following some threads that I previously was. Anyone else have this problem?

I should probably point out that 'Likes' are still anonymous if you're signed out of the forums. It's not a big deal, you can identify who's fist-bumping whom by signing in but I just thought I'd mention it.

[kingdomcome]

The lack of a space between the word 'Location' and whatever you input into there is still present.

 

Edit: e.g. "LocationAustralia".

For whatever reason, when I hit "Reply to this topic", I got a copy of my previous post. Here is a video of that. I can do it over and over again, even after closing Chrome.

Anyway, can confirm that Backer photos are not showing properly:  http://i58.tinypic.com/2r44j1z.jpg

From what I gathered, this new version of IPB caches the post you were writing, so even if you accidentally close the tab and then come back, you can hit reply and it'll have the post there in its entirety which is a pretty neat feature.

Not sure if this is the case for you but if you delete the message it shouldn't pop up again.

Re: Profile Cover Pics -- try clicking the "reposition" button, now. The display area is small and I hope to make it bigger, but for now all you need to do is reposition

Hello,

 

my thread in Original Project has had a good part of it being deleted since the update, moslty the pictures & spoilers included. I'd like to know if it was possible to have it back in some way or do I have to edit it again myself ?

I'll see if we can put a temp version of the old forums up to get some of that content up (which may ease the process). I'll need Nay's help with that, however, so I can't do that on my own right now.

I apologize for the headaches, everyone.

[Yuuko]

Not really a problem but noticed that the "Who's Online" list shows users who have been offline for less than 30 minutes.

[Decay]

Youtube embeds are HUGE! They stretch to the full width of the post field, which seems really excessive. Maybe it would be better to bring them back to a more normal size, if possible?

"New content" is bugged.

It doesn't show most of the new content.

Nvm

I cant see content on a thread, it shows up compleatly empty

This is the page I am having issues with and have tried checking to see if it is a problem on my computer and not the forum

Can't put my finger on it - but something about the new look isn't sitting well with my eyes - new font styles? I don't know. Maybe something with the scaling? I'll have to poke around and figure it out. (I am partly blind, so it might just be me :P)

 

EDIT: Also, is this space for a personalized banner pic? Or just a victim of scaling?

Dang. All sorts of dang.

I'm working with Nayleen to put up a copy of the old forums into our forums test page. That'll at least let us go in and get the old data and transfer it to the new forums.

Apologies, everybody, for the hiccups. I did everything I could to minimize the pain of the transition, but that doesn't make it any easier.

[Tay]

(Important!)

Talked to Nay: It'll be a solid piece of work to put the IPB 3 board up for us to scour/salvage, but I got him all the files he'll need and he said he'd make time for it within the next day or so. Once that's up, we can go in and grab all the walkthoughs and blog posts which were nuked by the upgrade.

[solidbatman]

I think our reviews bot is borked. It really really wants us to read reviews, so it decided to post like 10 blog entries under your name Taylor

Later tonight I'll give it a reboot (aka: I'll create a new blog by the reviews bot user, transfer key entries over to the new blog, and then delete the old one. That's the only way to prevent it from posting as me, unfortunately).

[Mr Poltroon]

IPB4 really does make everything more efficient. The little guy is damn well trying to spread the reviews.

FORUMS APP

• Spoiler BBCode as it exists now doesn’t work as well as the last one. Ex: You need to delete an entire spoiler if you want to delete it because to the BBCode problem. Since you can't edit raw code, you have to copy content, delete all spoiler and then paste.

This should be changed to all bbcodes work wonkily or are a pain in the ass to use now. You used to be able to backspace/highlight and delete quotes, now its a pain in the ass.  You have to hover over the non-distinct border until the little red bar appears that lets you insert a line, then delete forwards to kill the code.

Please change this if at all possible.  It makes editing layered quotes nigh on impossible.  This is solved by the raw BBC editor, but I didn't have to use that before.

Edit: P.S. "Insert other media" down at the bottom of the post says "insert image from url", is it possible to change that to "insert media from url"? or something along those lines? I was confused at first on how to embed a YT video, and I'm pretty sure this is how you would embed a sound file too.
