Forum Update

**Virrago**

The changes to the forums made during today's maintenance include:

    * Signatures should now fit properly.
    * Several performance enhancements, especially in search and loading.
    * WYSIWYG Editor should have a few new buttons, and behave better overall.
    * Usernames should always link to the User.
    * Polls should behave a bit better.

Please post in this thread any problems you have encountered with this new forum build.

Thanks.

So, anyone else missing the WYSIWYG editor buttons entirely now in Firefox 3, or do I just have my browser configurated wrong?

They are still working for me but certain things dont load, like if I try and click 'More colours' for font text it shows the SOE 'System maintenance' page o.O

**shinpseudo**

No WYSIWYG editor at all in Safari 3, just a text box.

**Phluff**

Tested as much as I could, and everything seems to be working well phor me in PhirePhox 3.0 ...except phor one thing. The 'html' button will take me to the SOE maintenence page.

**MotorZ**

Yeah, no WYSIWYG in Firefox 3 for me either, Rarebit.

Also, did the dev/admin post tracker always say number of votes?

~The 'Go to Last Post' button doesn't seem to work anymore, it sends you to the start of the thread.
~Some of the icons dont load some of the time.

Thats all that I have noticed so far, havent really been testing though

EDIT: All the posting stuff seems to be working (love the new quick color changer, any chance of getting a drop down for hyper-linking, smilies and image posting? Or would that be pressing the Web Team too far :P )

Ooo I just noticed a new feature... try to make a post with a bad word in it and see what it does SMILEY

Thats cool hehe...

It looks like they are going to put in a voting system... so my question is why make something new when you can't fix what you have? hmm

**Yasamuu**

Haha. I can see that becoming a real pain in the rear-end. Someone types up a huge long message and hasn't realised they put a censored word in the post and hits submit and bang! bye-bye post SMILEY

**Fickey** · 07/16/2008 16:55:55

heh would be cool if it highlighted the bad word when you went to edit it SMILEY

Ooo... also I noticed this under My Profile...

Allow users to leave comments on your art:

Makes you wonder what else they want to add... scary

FireFox 3 Australian English Dictionary, google toolbar:

The WYSIWYG editor has vanished... text box only.

Last post button in the thread listing takes you to your last post in that thread (or the start of the thread if you haven't replied)

I don't have admin access SMILEY

Ohh I like how the profanity filter lets you edit the post rather than simply blitzing it. I was worried after Yassa's post

(OMG I HAVE A POTTYMOUTH) crap. Is there really some sort of stop-all on "language" now? Really? What if I go to make a NR post and I write up a character who uses a little colorful language? What if we have a post where Niobe says a swear, is that going to disappear, too? It's going to be weird seeing people doing self-editing, especially since before there was a sort of understood code to cursing, though now anything could be anything. Which is slightly more annoying. It's going to be really annoying going through a seven page story or whatever finding every instance of a word which might be deemed offensive and replacing it with a 4th grade word which makes character dialogue sound like those Orbit commercials.

I'd much rather we could be treated like credit-card carrying adults.

Also: I don't know if it's just me, but I find the new underscored names aesthetically displeasing.

EDIT: There are also some... loopholes within the new filtration system which did not exist with the word filter system.

The first thing that I noticed (which doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet) is that threads with multiple pages are not showing up with the multiple page icons beneath the thread's listing in the subforum. Sorry if that explanation is a little vague.

For example, in General Discussion there exists the thread Register for Fan Faire using the guild name "Bullet Time Operatives"! Half Priced Passes!!. That thread is at the moment 3 pages long. Typically, underneath multipage threads it says "Go to Page: 1, 2, 3, 4..." Not so for the above example. I see some threads that still have it and others that do not. At this point, I don't see anything to point to a reason why that's happened.

edit: Also... half of my post's text is green...
