Upgrade time again
« on: August 20, 2008, 02:05:09 PM »
I'm going to be upgrading the forums shortly, so things may be weird for a bit. I'll let you know when everything's done, and when to tell me about any further weirdness.



EDIT: Well, the upgrade is complete, including nearly two hours of upgrading the theme to be compatible and fixing all my mod packages to be compatible too.

I know that the forum... looks different. I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what, though. I do notice that the post text is smaller than it used to be. Anyone want it changed back?

Other than that, see any glitches?



Edit 2: ... I decided that it would easier to start the theme from scratch than try and fix the old one. The forum will be using the default theme for a while, whilst I create the new one.

Well, strictly speaking, those posts were missing before the upgrade. I will deal with that separately.

To everyone else, I've rolled out the new theme. Let me know if anything is weird.

Well, here at work IE version 6.0 every post initially contains about 3 inches of blank space, before any text appears. I'd give you a screen shot, but I can't.

Edit: I changed my screen size and it stopped doing that, so um nevermind.

Edit2: It seems to happen to atleast one post on every screen when I load it initially, but it fixes itself after I resize my window, when it's already loaded. Creepy.

Edit3: It looks like what it is doing is refusing to show someone;s signature on the screen until it's lower than all the side bar information. Which requires the posts to take up more space heightwise.  Sometimes, for a reason I can't fathom it treats people's posts the same way it does a signature and won't post that until after the the side bar info, but when you resize the window the text flies to the top, yet the frames don't resize and there's still a lot of dead space. I wish I was allowed to give you screen shots.

the Reply/Notify/Mark unread/Send this topic/Print  buttons at the bottom of the thread (every thread) seem to be on the opposite side they were on before, i dont know if i'm wrong or if it's the new look that is confusing me but i thought i should mention it

Most problems are caused by the SMF guys rewriting a lot of templates that the forum uses. This has changed the structure of the pages, and to a lesser extent, the layout.

EDIT1 : Hey...can you undo the upgrade. Wow...it's not looking too good my friend

No, that is impossible.

Edit3: It looks like what it is doing is refusing to show someone;s signature on the screen until it's lower than all the side bar information. Which requires the posts to take up more space heightwise.  Sometimes, for a reason I can't fathom it treats people's posts the same way it does a signature and won't post that until after the the side bar info, but when you resize the window the text flies to the top, yet the frames don't resize and there's still a lot of dead space. I wish I was allowed to give you screen shots.

I'm not really sure how to fix this, but I will give it a shot. Eventually.

i think i'm wrong but...

the Reply/Notify/Mark unread/Send this topic/Print  buttons at the bottom of the thread (every thread) seem to be on the opposite side they were on before, i dont know if i'm wrong or if it's the new look that is confusing me but i thought i should mention it

Yes, you are wrong. They were always on the right, and "Pages ..." was on the left.

Mike...there are so many posts still missing.   :( They coming back soon? Most of the RP is gone too...ugh.

I'm working on it.

You know what? Honestly, I've been trying to figure out if it's different or not, or just a different size. I can tell as well it doesn't look the same, and only on some pages is actually quite hard on the eyes, and there is still that big gap at the bottom of the Index page, but all in all...the font isn't that bad really.

Oh and great job on fixing all the posts Mike. :) One massive inline editor huh? Nicely done. I have only seen one or two posts that still look off, but that could be intentional by the poster.

Have any suggestions? Or, just trolling?

Are you SURE That the font is even different? I guess I haven't really been around, but I can't tell a difference.

Everything looks the same as it did yesterday to me. Maybe I'm mentally handicapped?

Considering I don't know what you did, no. The font is absurdly large though.

Protome, its just the font, everything else is the same size.
