Site upgrade issues

[Alan92RTTT]

Were running on VB 4.20 but their is cleanup to do.

I know about:
* User CP link is small and has no text http://www.3sgto.org/usercp.php
* icons messed up
* quick reply is wonky on Dark theme
* Post attachments (i.e. pictures) open up in both a new tab ANd the standard viewing window when I click to view

Please post other issues here.

[BaadVR4]

Looks like "What's New" is totally different from before.

[BaadVR4]

Never mind. Just figured out I have to select "New Posts", something I didn't have to do before.

[IPD]

i'll let you know if i get that redirect doodad again.

[stealthee]

In the Arcade once a game completes the score is not recorded, it only takes you to the activity stream page.

And the activity stream page looks all goofy in dark.

[stealthee]

Videos are no longer auto embedding

[IPD]

Videos are no longer auto embedding

some never were. idk how to tell this one way or another.

[stealthee]

I have tried several links and none have auto embeddded, but embedded just fine once I added the video tags, so this is an update issue.

Few things I've noticed that haven't been mentioned yet:

Light & Dark Theme

Globally

Quick-style drop-down in the footer does not show any available styles (fixed)

Left sidebar (.sidebarleft) has a black background (fixed)
Tabs theme does not match the light color theme (fixed)

Most of these are just style issues. Should be easy to fix!

[stealthee]

Some of the arcade games do record the score. Now ones that do not display this

[anyonebutme]

I don't have a chatbox full link at the top on dark theme, and quick reply box is a little light for me and the text formatting selections are impossible to see/missing. Just white boxes.

Dark theme, both firefox and chrome, on both windows vista and linux.

[stealthify]

Also not sure if you've updated the Tapatalk plugin lately, but the recently released version of the Tapatalk client isn't able to retrieve a list of subscribed threads on this forum. It just comes back as 'No Topics.'

The latest Tapatalk plugin for vBulletin 4.x was released on 1/29/13, v4.3.1.

[CoopKill]

Icon for tabs need relinked, there is an odd check mark thing now.

[BaadVR4]

Now I can't change from Dark Theme. Drop down box is blank and clicking on down arrow gets a display of "Quick Style Chooser", but no way to change to anything but "Dark".

For now you can change it in the account settings: here (http://www.3sgto.org/profile.php?do=editoptions#sel_newstyleset).

[CoreyB]

Cant change out of dark theme on the iphone. In settings it says I have light theme, buts actually dark. I dont have this problem on my laptop using chrome.

[DocWalt]

Same problem Corey has, but with android.

[BaadVR4]

I have the theme color on both my laptop and desk top. Didn't have it before yesterday.

[green-lantern]

I can't post a pic using "insert image"

You broke it Alan!

[Alan92RTTT]

If you are stuck in dark

Go here http://www.3sgto.org/profile.php?do=editoptions

IF it says light, change to dark, save then change back to light and save again. .

[DocWalt]

Doesn't seem to work on mobile, Alan.

The "Activity Stream" can be a post whores dream but the large avatars mess up the formatting...

Hey, I said Icons are a mess ;)

it would be cool if their was/is a way to filer activity stream by friends


Paul what error did you get when you tried to attach an image

[CoreyB]

If you click on your profile, it shows posts you have made and that your friends have made. For some reason, its a list of just my posts.......

[Maximal]

Paul what error did you get when you tried to attach an image

I had to uncheck the box about local reference to get it to attach a pic...something about a write error. My guess is it tries to DL the file at the URL and store it locally but we don't have access to write to the folder...

[Alan92RTTT]

Looks like the image insert is a known bug. I have a "fix" I'll try tonight.

[NickS VR4]

Update favicon.ico

[ictponder]

I cannot access the forums using IE9. I get only an error "Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator." when trying to open any forum.

[Alan92RTTT]

I can not duplicate the IE9 issue.

I am using IE9 on win 7 right now.

[IronmanTT]

Allan wanted to POST in CARS FOR SALE but it Sale Description section is NOT enter-able so will not let me post my ad. Please check and let me know when it will be fixed.. Thanks...

[CoreyB]

For those trying to access the classifieds http://www.3sgto.org/classifieds/

[IronmanTT]

Cory you know anything about the SALE DESCRIPTION section disappearing on CARS FOR SALE section when you want to post an AD?

[CoreyB]

I just checked after your post, it is messed up like you said. Wonder what happens if you still make the add?

What you could do for now though, is post in the parts for sale section, that one seems to be working. Just have a mod move it later.

[Alan92RTTT]

I'll take a look at the cars for sale input form this evening.

[green-lantern]

Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I get this when I try to get into work safe area.

[green-lantern]

Hell seems like 50% of the forum I can't access

I cannot access the forums using IE9. I get only an error "Invalid Forum specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator." when trying to open any forum.


Getting same issue when I try to click on the 3000GT / Stealth / GTO Related Topics (http://www.3sgto.org/f2/) from the Forum Tab. If I use the Navigation bar I can access the sub-forum. Any topic I click on in the sub-forum cues the administartor screen also. If I click on the "last post >>" I can open the topic but then have to navigate to the next topic by using the previous and following topics link at the bottom of the page.

[green-lantern]

Go to NEW POSTS, click on a link to a post in the area you want to go.

http://www.3sgto.org/work-safe-discussions/

That's what I was doing. I also tried to go from the main page. It seems to be working now.

[green-lantern]

Nevermind, still not working

[CoreyB]

Damn, what browser are you using, its working fine on Chrome.

[green-lantern]

Damn, what browser are you using, its working fine on Chrome.

It's IE at work, I can click the link you posted but then certain threads don't work. Or I can view the last page of a thread but I can't back up to the page before that.

[Alan92RTTT]

I think some of the forum link issues could be related to the VBSEO plugin being off. I hope to fix that this evening.

[CoopKill]

When going to my Profile page I got this...

[green-lantern]

Why do we have a forum home button when we are at forum home but an activity button when we are away from forum home?

[J. Fast]

How do you exit stealth mode so you appear online and can see who's in threads?

[Alan92RTTT]

When going to my Profile page I got this...

post a better picture I can't see what the issue is.

What size were thoes screen shots? They came in tiny.

I used smaller images for the thumbnail previews, but the link to the full size screenshots can be found in the text link above it.

[DocWalt]

Images are no longer properly resized to fit the page width, and there's no scroll bar on individual posts.

[CoreyB]

Light mode for the iPhone is fixed, just noticed because :flush:

[DocWalt]

Light mode is working on Android as well.

[IronmanTT]

CARS FOR SALE section to add AD still not working.. :(

[Alan92RTTT]

I have determined that the dark theme is just a mess and turned it off for now.

Once I have the light theme working I'll make a new dark version based on the light one.

Please hurry, All this white is killing my eyes. I had to turn down the brightness on my monitor.....

[Alan92RTTT]

I will try, I am not a fan of the light theme either.

THe current light/dark were totally seperate. I want to make a new dark based on the light so structure/content changes only need to be done once.

[DrGonzo]

Shouldn't be too hard, Copy out the light theme, do a hex swap on the CSS file so that light->dark vise versa. Reprocess the images.

Not really hard as it is time consuming...:p

[IPD]

Please hurry, All this white is killing my eyes. I had to turn down the brightness on my monitor.....

agreed. it's as uncomfortable as being in elwood indiana after dark in the 1930's....if you were a black person.

[Alan92RTTT]

I have started a new theme that should help. select Dark 3SGTO v2 in the style picker.

[CoreyB]

I like the like feature lol. Its like since Thadd wont go to FB, we brought FB to him.

[Alan92RTTT]

cars for sale fixed.

[TT4ME]

I can no longer log into the site. I have to use the mobile theme, and then change back to the regular themes.

[IronmanTT]

Thanks Alan...

[Alan92RTTT]

Have you tried clearing your browser cache per the instructions I posted above?

[TT4ME]

Have you tried clearing your browser cache per the instructions I posted above?

I don't see where your instructions are. I cleared out all history in chrome.

That said, it just started a couple hours ago. I leave, come back and try to log in and the password field does not hide the characters. I hit login and it says invalid pw blah blah blah.

[Alan92RTTT]

It could be related to the style changes. once logged in goto: http://www.3sgto.org/profile.php?do=editoptions and reset your style.

Thanks for pointing out the password issue.

[Alan92RTTT]

I don't see where your instructions are. This thread post 49

[CoopKill]

Done did that, as I can read some words. It still no worky.

It just stays as the light theme. I will dump cache and report back at home tonight.

[DrGonzo]

Coop, Alan turned off the dark theme. So everyone is on the light theme now.....:(

[Alan92RTTT]

gonzo quit crying and turn on dark V2 :p

[JasonY]

New dark theme still no bueno :(

Jason

[DrGonzo]

gonzo quit crying and turn on dark V2 :p

Ask for Dark theme back... And he gives us the Smurfs inspired theme!!

[futurevr4man]

PLEASE dont take away where it shows which threads we have posted in! that was my favorite difference about this site!

[Alan92RTTT]

Activity Stream is staying. I've wanted that for a while.

Dark v2 is going to be the default(and renamed as such). I will be making a new Dark theme.

[TurboSinceBirth]

It started happening the past few days not just once. Every time I enter my username and password in the upper right hand corner it says invalid and I have so many attempts left. I even tried a few times doing one key stroke at a time but it still says it was wrong. If I type my username and password in the box in the middle of the page that appears after an unsuccessful login attempt it let me login. I'm not sure if this was mentioned before or not but like I say it started a few days ago.

[Alan92RTTT]

I think I have the login issue fixed.

[Alan92RTTT]

Whats everyone thing of the status of the site right now?

The Light and default styles should be in pretty good shape. Dark needs a few tweaks but should be totally usable.

New chat should work better and reduce server load.

Any other comments?

[Jimvr4]

I don't like the image handler. Can it just add the tags to the URL instead of telling you the image is too big and refusing to process it?

[Alan92RTTT]

it should only process attachments. I'll take a look at that later today.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

I'm not seeing any youtube videos. Like in the what song are you listening to thread, all the posts are blank except for the text people wrote. The actual youtube videos aren't there. Using chrome if that makes a difference.

Using chrome. This is from home.

Just poked around in my browser. Somehow flash player was disabled. Enabled, and now yt videos are displaying and working fine. Weird.

[stealthee]

I am getting major bogging on page loads now. Sometimes I will even get 2, 3 or 4 script errors before the page fully loads. This is the only site I am having issues with. This started, I think, Saturday.

Using IE8

[Alan92RTTT]

If you could capture an error and post it here that would help

[Jimvr4]

Color selection in Shout box doesn't work in IE8

[TurboSinceBirth]

I just saw this today and so far on multiple pages it's doing the same thing. In the top right hand corner I can only see half of the logout icon and then also the welcome, username icon. The rest of the links are blocked by an ad which I tried moving over but it wouldn't let me. I don't care about the ad but would rather it not block any forum links because that's super annoying.

I noticed this also earlier when AB+ was having issues loading. It was the Google Adsense block floating over the toplinks element. I thought at first it was just due to AB+ having loading issues. I sometimes throws elements out of whack. Turning off AB+ will show the issue. I'm on the dark theme BTW.

[Alan92RTTT]

Its related to the vendor banner not staying below the COTM banner when you strech the forum wide.

[IPD]

can we PLEASE stop getting post updates stuck in the chatbox? it's annoying.

[CoreyB]

No, we cannot, I like them and they shall stay.

[Alan92RTTT]

At our current post volume I'll say no bacause you are the only person I have heard that did not like them.


When our post volume increases I will make some changes.

[IPD]

you're taking :corey:'s side? wtf has this world come to?

[Alan92RTTT]

Techinically he's taking my side.

[Jimvr4]

Haha, I like them too.

[stealthee]

There is another way to show post updates. Put it in a separate window. If you need an example I can get a screenshot.

[Alan92RTTT]

Even if I could, it defeats the purpose of keeping people in chat upto date on whats happening on the forum. ;)

[stealthee]

You misunderstood. It is still part of chat just in a separate box

[Alan92RTTT]

No I understood ;)

But the free version does not support moving the notifications. While i like the chat box us not worth the cost of the yearly or lifetime licences ($55 or $100)

[CoopKill]

So in some threads my signature is missing, as well as others. Biggest loser is one. Some post is there, most are not...

[Alan92RTTT]

Sig once per page setting maybe?

[CoopKill]

duh moment sir, carry on...

[Alan92RTTT]

:bigthumb:

[IPD]

Even if I could, it defeats the purpose of keeping people in chat upto date on whats happening on the forum. ;)

i thought that was what "new posts" was for.


...maybe alan just likes it 'cause it's easier to police when you see when posts are being put up.

[Alan92RTTT]

new posts means you have to activly refresh the page. If they pop into chat it may attract attention. IE more forum traffic IE more forum growth ;)

[sketch]

Post attachments (i.e. pictures) open up in both a new tab ANd the standard viewing window when I click to view

Win7 x64, Chrome

[Alan92RTTT]

Added that to the list in the 1st post.

[stealthify]

i thought that was what "new posts" was for.

The instant-chat updates might actually be one of my favorite parts about the new shoutbox update. Especially at night, when things are pretty slow. Reloading the 'new posts' page seems far more annoying. :p

[stealthee]

Ugh. The script errors stopped appearing, but the page load times are still attrocious. Even when the page is loaded it still bogs badly.

I am not having a single issue with any other site.

[Alan92RTTT]

Their is some kid of IE8 issue.

I'm trying to find a solution.

[stealthee]

Thanks Alan

[sketch]

idea for when shoutbox shows when someone posts to a thread (and subsequently links) - it links directly to the post that was made. could this link to the newest unseen post in the thread in the same manner that it does when we get an email notification re: new posts?

[green-lantern]

shoutbox issue - clicking on a persons name and then selecting the "view profile" button links to http://www.3sgto.org/member.php, not the member profile, i.e. http://www.3sgto.org/members/sketch.html

[Alan92RTTT]

Known issue. click on their name from the active users tab.

On Dark theme, Code box text color is the same as the background text color.... EX:http://www.3sgto.org/3000gt-stealth-gto-related-topics/7247-99-conversion-parts-list.html

Not that's its a big deal but ever since the upgrade I have this issue on my ipad/iPhone with the random garage pictures.

I noticed this too, though it's not just a problem on iPad/iPhones. If you go to the main forum directory on your computer and if your window width is less than the width required to show all 5 thumbnails and their respective labels, it'll have the same problem.

A quick fix is to hide the overflow of the bounding box.

[Alan92RTTT]

Hum, wonder how the vb garage group missed that.


Anyone willing to try and help me debug the IE issues with the shoutbox?

[CoopKill]

Getting no email updates. Others are having this issue as well as discussed in Shoutbox...

[Alan92RTTT]

I've made some DNS changes that may help that. I'm not sure the cause as email's are going out and in a timely manner from what I can see.

[GTOJOE]

Also not getting emails.

I just noticed the e-mails have stopped as well... I went back and looked, the last one I recieved was on the 16th.

I've also been getting this script error on two different machines. the only thing they have in common is they are both ancient. XP, IE8. I'm assuming it has something to do with the shoutbox issues you're chasing down?
