PriusChat Forum Upgrade - post your bug reports/gripes/thanks here

40 posts per page works for me, for the record.

 

A couple of things I've noticed:

- when posting a .jpg attachment, the attachment shows up as a file, not as a displayed image. I have to click on the file to see the image.

- Can the 19.5kb limit on file size be expanded? That's maybe 2 letters in a PDF file.

- Imported smilies aren't functioning properly. Try attaching a :lol: it doesn't show up. *MUST*HAVE*SMILIES*

- I'm not sure if the attached file positioning is still working, but it's awfully nice to be able to locate the attachment where you want it within the post.

Overall, I think it's going to be a big improvement once the bugs are worked out!

 

Any way to get the subscribed threads back? Am I the only one missing them?

 

Oh... and I have 40 posts per page chose as well... and just 25 show up.

 

Can't Upload Attachments

During the last week of the old software, and this first week of the new software, I haven't been able to upload photos.

I press "Manage Attachments", then "browse my computer" for the photo, then "save" the selected photo, then press "Upload", then I wait and ultimately get a "Failure" message saying that the upload failed.

Anyone else have this problem?

I'm wondering if it's related to my computer, and not the new PC software? Three weeks ago I downloaded some updates for Vista, and since then my graphics card (I think) doesn't work properly (screen resolution is wrong, scrolling on Internet Explorer is choppy, screensaver doesn't work, can't put my computer on sleep/standby mode).

 

Can't Word Search Thread Titles

Danny,

Can you restore the word search feature we had in the old software, where we could do a word search of thread titles only?

I think that was a very useful search feature. It was the fastest way to find relevant answers to questions, and to avoid duplicate threads.

 

I have a gripe. Spammers can post every 30 seconds, but I can only report the posts every 60 seconds. He's getting in twice as much crap as I can report. And of course, no mods are online at the moment. But I know you all have lives outside PC.

 

Along with this (which I found quite annoying this morning, too), once the spammer has been pruned, if his was the last post, his name still shows up under "Last Post By". And when it's a foul name, that's just no good.

 

Also, I don't know if there's a way to filter for spammy behavior, but for a few moments the spammer in question got away with posting to threads in every forum... it seems there might oughta be a way for the software to pick up on that? I know that gets into filters that could impact the site for legit users too though...

Anyway, another highlight of the tough job the mods face... a major software change AND a wave of flame/spam attacks. Thanks for keeping up the hard work guys.

 

Has anyone else noticed any threads where you can't actually get to the 2nd or last page? I ran into this twice now. I didn't write down the titles of the threads, because I hadn't read this yet and, of course, I may be the only one with the problem.

 

It is because the posts by trolls were removed and it leaves a phantom page there if they were the only ones to post on that thread. I htink anyway.

 

I've noticed this with a couple threads myself. But it doesn't just happen with threads where the troll is the only one to post. It happens to any thread where the troll is the last one to post.

I'll second that. Danny & the Mods are doing a great job.

 

I agree.

 

This is probably more trouble than it's worth, and the attacks seem to have died down mostly, but if you mods need to deputize anyone just to prune the OBVIOUS garbage, I'm at your service... not that I want to be a mod, mind, you

 

Agreed

 

Search function seems to be broken, and google points to the old addresses...

 

No issues noticed. Nice and familiar look to the threads, thanks.
