Report Bugs Here!!! No longer just betazone

[pepper112765]

Is it just me or is the quoted text sometimes sitting on top of a poster's response. I am using Google Chrome ...

[mmhmm]

I'm using Chrome, as well, pepper. I don't see what you're seeing. I'll keep watching, though.

'Are you checking the "Remember me" box'

I check this box every time. I'm feeling used and abused. <sigh>

[mmhmm]

Ouch, sesfw! I know some folks are having problems, so you're not alone. Scottish Lassie was having the same problem you are. You might want to PM her to see what she did to get it to stop (I think she's doing fine now). What version of Windows are you using, and what browser and browser version?

As computer illiterate as I am, I am feeling pretty good this week,as I have not had any issues with anything!

Proboards Version Five-a

On a long info highway,
Proboards on my screen,
A small check in the corner,
says my browser is clean.

Up ahead in the distance,
saw an ad flashing red.
"Your board is lousy, you should upgrade now.
And it's free," s'what it said.

There she stood in the doorway,
I heard the Windows bell.
And I was thinkin' to myself:
this could be heaven and this could be hell.

Then she started the contest,
and we got underway.
There were voices on the support board,
I thought I heard them say:

Welcome to the Proboards version five-a.
It's such lovely wares.
With such angry bears.
Plenty of room in the Proboards version five-a.
After twenty years,
yes it's finally here.

Her mind is differently twisted,
she got the beta release.
She got a lotta techie techie boys,
on every piece.

How they code in the backround,
sweet Proboards sin.
Some work to take bugs out,
some put new ones in.

So I called up to Moonbeam:
"Please spellcheck for me."
"We haven't that kind of feature here
since Proboards v 3."

And still those voices are calling
from far away.
Send PMs in the middle of the night,
just to hear them say:

Welcome to the Proboards version five-a.
It's such lovely wares.
And such angry bears.
You'll be livin' it up in the Proboards version five-a.
Hope your browser's new,
or you're kinda screwed. ...

CSS is missing;
strange bugs galore,
and she said, "We are all just prisoners here,
of our switch from v4."

And in the Proboards office,
they hammer at the wares.
They stab it with their PHP
but they just can't kill the bears.

Last thing I remember,
I was running for the door.
I had to find the passage back
to the boards I loved before.

"Relax," said the software,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can upgrade any time you like,
but you can never leave."

Ok - I'm on my laptop running ie v9 (I will update this post to state the version I run at work)

Dropdown to various boards when I hover my mouse is working on laptop
I can "like" posts on my laptop
The participate button works now on my laptop (did not earlier this week)
I can see the little cog wheel at the top of each message on my laptop


None of the above work on my desktop at work. May be a browser version, pop-up blocker, or restricted site issue.

If I figure anything out, I'll add it.

At work I'm running IE v8.

When I hover above the ribbon the drop downs do NOT appear.
When I "like" posts it take me to the top of the page.
The participated button does not work
There is no cog wheel at the top of each message

the contest isn't officially over until jan 28 i think. so we won the 500,000 ad free views unless the current 3rd place passes us up again.. they probably won't give us the ad free until beginning of Feb.

I think we deserve at least the second place prize for playing guinea pig for the switchover regardless of the vote.

Is there a code of some kind that you Moon (or Virgil) could put in so that our avatar taglines are centered again like they used to be?? Right now they're all toward the left margin and don't look symetrical.

Plus we used to be able to have a colored font and other extras that we can't do now. Is that not and able feature on V5 ?

[sesfw]

Using Windows 7 and don't know the browser. I just followed the link from MSN when these boards first opened.  YEA!!!!  just realized I didn't have to sign in to make this post.

[The Captain]

My former post (5 up from the bottom of the prior page) has been updated.

Just noticed - no post numbers? Not a big deal but it used to make it easier when someone put an update in a long thread.

Centering the personal text should be a simple template mod, though i'd have to ask someone how it goes in there.. one of those things that has to be done on every theme, too.

as far as the colored text, we had it in siggys, but NOT in personal text on the old version. I just tried it on icey's and it comes out like this
[color=blue]testing color in personal text[/color]

...understood... seems to me that "we" used to reference "update on page 4" but the old old boards gave you the choice to display 10, 15, 20, etc. posts per page...

...we began to see references to post numbers... since so many had different totals of pages in a thread...

...then we started to see post numbers renumbered after deletions...

...and I can't find a setting to display 10, 15, 20, etc. posts per page in v5...

...maybe we'll gravitate back to the original "update on page 4" designation?

I don't know if it is a bug or not but the opening post on an Everything Else thread (Ah retirement - My latest part time job) contains a YouTube video.

When I view the opening post on my tablet, I can see the video and play it.  When I look at the opening post on my computer, there is no video.  Going into edit mode on the opening post, I can see there is a YouTube video link posted there.  But when simply viewing the post, there is no video. 

Maybe it's just my desktop computer.   

Here is a link to the thread with the Youtube video.

[moon/Laura]

I noticed earlier that it was realllllly slow to add the video in posts on the music thread. but when i went to this one, it showed right up. is it still not showing on your desktop Tenn?

[Deleted]

My page numbers aren't floating with the page as I scroll down anymore. Was that a deliberate change or is something going on on my end? I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but I didn't know where else to ask.

[moon/Laura]

Haven't changed anything, Pink Cashmere, and they're floating for me.

[Deleted]

Ok. They have been for me too, but not for the past hour or so when I came back to the boards. I'll just wait and see what happens. Thanks moon!

[chiver78]

I just hit refresh and lost my display theme.....?

[Shooby]

I find this board difficult to scroll. Seems kind of jerky as it scrolls. I have a much harder time getting to the place where i want to be..

[moon/Laura]

chiver, were you using Ivy? I accidentally deleted it.. and had to re-create. ugh lol.

I think you made this comment before, Shoobs.  I don't have that problem, at all, on any browser.  Scrolling is smooth for me.  Must be something on your side, hon.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

I don't have a scrolling problem either.

We did have it in Personal Text cause I had it. BUT I also had it on Icey's and it went and has been gone on that Board for the longest time. I just tried it on here and Icey's and I get the code + Personal text and nothing else.

[Jaguar]

No scrolling issues here either.
