Board Upgrade Status

[Virgil Showlion]

I've set you back to zero, now, using my computer wizardry.

The rule is that you can never have more likes than Virgil.

[Jaguar]

I had 2 and I earned them, but alas karma didn't make me and neither will likes. It wasn't wizardry Virgil, it was Admin status.

My point is that Joe Blow from Kokomo could set your 'likes' count to whatever he wanted to, with or without admin status.

You could set your 'likes' count to whatever you wanted to, with or without admin status.

As for your two likes, I will give them back to you. One of them was from me anyway, for testing purposes.

I'm not going to like my own posts that seems too what's the name of that ex poster, whatever. But thank you Virgil.

[moon/Laura]

hmm. i don't like that it can be manipulated that easily.. i think i'm going to take it back out.

[Peace Of Mind]

LOL! I was playing with some buttons and by mistake liked my own post over at Muffin's Cafe. I felt like MU. I took a shower in bleach after.

Yup I agree cause it's too easily manipulated.

Testing smileys in Chrome 6.

I've added UBBC support for the personal text that appears under member avatars.

Supported formatting is limited to bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, font size, font face, left/center/right/justified alignment, superscript, subscript, colour, and hyperlinks.

Unsupported markup or damaged markup will appear as UBBC. Hence if tags are showing up in your personal text, your markup is either damaged or unsupported.

Up next: repairing the Games forum. But that will have to wait until this evening.

Thank you Virgil.

Hi Virgil. I wanted to let you know that I have IE9 and no tag lines show now on all posters who had them including me.


Mine just showed. Let me check other's...

After I posted they all appeared. Sorry!

-thumbsup- Likes like karma can be easily manipulated.

Proboards seems to have a real problem with script caching, Peace Of Mind. Any time new plugins are installed, you have to manually refresh any cached pages to get them to recognize the new scripts.

Fortunately the problem should go away once the updates to the board are complete and the scripts aren't changing.

Until then, when in doubt, hit the 'Refresh' button.

[moon/Laura]

Martyn has said the fix has been applied. so, Virgil will be deactivating his changes at some point to see if there is any positive effect for those who were having problems.

That plugin is actually active for everybody, but it only injects the alternate style sheets if it detects that objects that should be present aren't.

I'll leave it in for now, since they take up a negligible amount of space and can't harm anything. They'll also be useful in the unlikely event that the alternate server (which I see is prbrds.com) is also rejected by various workplace servers.

Incidentally, I'm noticing that the headers on the Reply page are still using the 4d5.net files, even after a refresh. Hopefully Proboards knows what it's doing.

[Virgil Showlion]

The enhancements to the word games forum are now up and running. If things aren't working properly:

1. Refresh your browser on the offending page.

2. Let me know.

Next up: Getting some custom thread icons back, and getting rid of the accented characters in thread titles.

Oh good.  That's annoying.

[ՏՇԾԵԵʅՏɧ_LԹՏՏʅҼ]

The right-arrow is showing as a weird symbol in the word game. Try using Alt Code 26 for right arrow →

[Jaguar]

It's a diamond with a question mark inside it Virgil.

[moon/Laura]

Just updating to list some of the other things that have been added.

• Navigation Tree added at the bottom of the page
  
• "Back to Top" links in each post
• "Reply number" in each post
• Added a Reply button to the floating pagination bar

Thanks, moon/Laura.

I'll add these to the list in the OP. In future, feel free to edit the OP and include any new items (as well as any requests in progress) in the master list.

ETA: Evidently you already did.

[Virgil Showlion]

Posters will notice that an icon box is now present next to the subject line when creating or editing threads. Click this box to select from a wide variety of icons to assign to your thread to make it more recognizable in the 'Most Recent Topics' list, on the board index, and any other place threads are listed.

You can change the icon at any time by editing the OP of a thread. You can also restore the default icon by hovering the mouse over the icon and clicking the 'X' that appears.

Best of all, the v5 version of the plugin no longer creates accented characters.

(Note that getting rid of the existing accented characters is still on my to-do list; it's just a relatively low priority.)

Happy icon-ing!

[Jaguar]

Virgil the icon box does not go to full size so only some mainly all left of the side icons are showing. I see the first three rows in of icons, I don't know if there's anymore. Plus I only see half of the bottom computer looking icons.

I haven't been able to add color to my personal text, am I doing something wrong ?

[Virgil Showlion]

Jaguar: Place the UBBC you're attempting to use in your personal text into a [côde] block, and post it here. I'll let you know what the problem is, if any.

As for the icon menu not showing up fully, you uncovered a rarity: a standards-compliance bug that wasn't IE-related.

I'm guessing you're using Chrome. And indeed, it has a bug. I've put in a browser-specific hack to fix the problem. You should be able to see the whole menu now.

You wouldn't believe this Virgil, trying to set up what I did I put it in BBCode checked in Visual and it was fixed. So now I have colored text under my avatar again. I was doing it the old v.45 way, but PROFILE doesn't have Auto Correct Code like Visual/BBCode of a post does.

I'll go see if I can see the icon's. I see all the icon's now, but I choose one for my ZEN Thread and click SAVE CHANGES, but nothing happens. So what am I doing wrong now ?

[Jaguar]

Virgil Showlion, I have a question for you again. I try to put an icon on my Meditation thread, the Ying & Yang icon and it won't stick. What an I doing wrong now ?

Thank You

[Virgil Showlion]

I don't have time now to check, Jaguar. But I'll look into it later this evening.

Okay or do it sometime when you got some extra time that NOTHING else needs to get done, don't rush. I can wait cause I am going to redo that thread.
