Re: Version 1.8.53

Right they just don't appear for me when using IE 8 At all although there is a space where i think they should go as the alignement of theose buttons appears off

Re: Version 1.8.53

Visceri22 - Try a different theme (preferably one you haven't used before) and let me know.

PushBarToOpen - They only appear if you're the owner of the character or GM.  Let me know if they're missing in that's true.

Re: Version 1.8.53

That did it. Soon as I did it they appeared again and they show up now that I've gone back to my old theme. Thanks for the help!

Re: Version 1.8.53

*rolls eyes at Safari*  (c;

Just glad it's fixed!  Boy do I love the number of browsers available...


bigbadron:
Talking of which, jase, would it be possible to change the alignment of that row of links, so that they don't stretch the column width out so much?

They should be right aligned underneath the rest of the post information, just like always (except with the extra link now), so not sure what you mean about the alignment.

I have to reduce my window size to around 920 pixels wide before the links start to affect the width of the column (and the site's designed for 1024 (or greater)).

Re: Version 1.8.53

Don't hate on Safari. Hate on macs catering to Safari. Inb4 flame war on PCs vs. Macs...Just saying I own both and I like em equally for different reasons XD. But anyways, yeah it's fixed. Another player in a game I play in is saying that language groups that are posted by other players which they are not privy to are not showing any garbled text at all, just a blank dialogue box where those who know the language can see the text fine. I don't know what browser she's running it on or anything though. Just thought I'd bring it to your attention. I'll tell her to force refresh and see if it fixes it.

In reply to jase (msg # 36):

Well, the alignment has been bugging me (slightly) for a while, but I actually remembered to ask about it today.  :)

At the moment the column looks a bit like this:

Character Name
 player, 391 posts
 Awesome impressive bio line
 to really make you think.

                         [picture]
                         PM | rMail | Profile | Info | Rolls


I was just wondering if it might be better like this:

Character Name
 player, 391 posts
 Awesome impressive bio line
 to really make you think.
Wed 13 Jun 2012
at 18:29
                         [picture]
PM | rMail | Profile | Info | Rolls


Or maybe even like this:

Character Name
 player, 391 posts
 Awesome impressive bio line
 to really make you think.

Re: Version 1.8.53

I also just found a second issue while trying to confirm the first one: as a GM, when I'm on the Character Information screen, when I hover my mouse over the "view" button it moves from the side of the box to underneath the box, away from my mouse cursor. No matter what I do I can't click on it.

Need browser version and OS, thanks.


I'm using Firefox 13.0 with Windows Vista (in case it's relevant, I'm running at 1440x900 resolution). I've also noticed that the "Preview" and "Post Message" buttons seem to get bigger when I hover them, but they don't move to another line (they just shift the rest of the page down a couple of pixels).

The "compose" button seems to be back where it's supposed to be, so thanks for that!

<edit>More info: I've found that I have this problem in a game where the longest character name is "Francis 'Frank' Decourcey", but not in the one where the longest name is "Arthur Drake"

Re: Version 1.8.53

Okay, it'll be just one user's opinion, but the new font is hard on my eyes. I think it actually made a vein pop in my eyeball :((

Re: Version 1.8.53

Using Win Vista Ultimate SP2/IE 9.0.8 here.  Really digging the new font layouts.  Don't like all the icons and +/- boxes having moved... would love to shove them to the right and out of the way again.

  • Problem posts can force the screen wide -- see message 4, this thread.  When that happens, I have a vertical scrollbar in both the browser and the web page, but no horizontal scroll bar in either, so a lot of the text is hidden/inaccessable.  http://arcadia.net/Cruinne/RPoL/images/rpolscroll.png
    • Update to add: if I disable fixed headers/footers (that is, Disable fixed header: ON), I can get an in-page horizontal scroll bar, if I scroll all the way to the end of the page, but it's not very useful since it's not actually available while I'm reading anything but the last post or two.
    • This happens too in certain moderator pages  so I can't view the right-hand side of those.

  • Focus after load has been lost.  Example, when the Main Menu is loaded, the focus is not in the area between the header and footer and when a thread loads it is not in the area of the post.  This means spacebar/page-up/page-down/home/end/arrow keys no longer work for navigation once a page loads, and you must click on the scrollbar to navigate.
    • This is true even with fixed headers disabled -- cannot navigate the page using the keyboard (or my mouse buttons mapped to page-up/page-down).

Re: Version 1.8.53

Is there a reason I can't just push 'page down' and my page scrolls down any more? Before I could just click on the page and navigate with keyboard, but now I have to click on the scroll bar.

Yay, the page count issue is fixed!  Thanks, jase.

Also, cruinne, I love using the keyboard to navigate as well.  So handy.

Re: Version 1.8.53

I use the keyboard for most of my internet usage as well, in fact I have gotten to the point of scowling at others as they use a mouse, to me it is slower.

and I just had to add, unaware if it was said already, I enjoy the removal of the social site links.  Thank you for that.

Re: Version 1.8.53

In reply to cruinne (msg # 41):

Still getting used to the font myself.  Apparently it's better for reading...

What icons and ± boxes have moved?  None should have.

Horizontal scrolling - I get a scrollbar at the appropriate time on the same version of IE9 (though on Win 7).

Focus should always been on the scrollable area now (whereas previously I had to use some javascript trickery to focus on the area).  Page down, etc, should always work, I use it a lot.

All those problems sound a bit weird, possibly one of the CCS files hasn't been refreshed..?

jase, I don't know if you did anything, but I did a force refresh and the moving button problem is now fixed. Yay!

Re: Version 1.8.53

I renamed a few more CSS files so that they old ones couldn't be used from cache anymore, that might have been what fixed it.

Re: Version 1.8.53

I don't know if it's by design or not, but the Preview and Post Message buttons (and similar buttons), kind of 'enlarge' when I mouse over them... it wouldn't bother me if it didn't slightly widen the box between my text entry and the formatting commands, and generally make the bottom half of my screen jumpy when going to click on them. I'd lov eit if we could get our old buttons back.. I like the rounded ones, to be sure, but I don't like their little dynamic resizing...

Re: Version 1.8.53

That's the EXACT problem I just had, that is fixed. Try forcing a refresh (likely CTRL+F5, but it varies). I noticed on the "character details" screen there's an extra horizontal line in the new version, so you can instantly tell if it works.

And thanks again, jase!

Re: Version 1.8.53

Navigation using the directional arrows does weird things, like down doesn't go directly down, but down and left a few spaces (say 7-8), and up doesn't work at all.

Re: Version 1.8.53

I have been having this problem too, I am working on my phone and when I am zoomed in to read and scroll with arrow keys left or right it also takes me a bit up or down; up with left, down going right. I am using an opera variant.

No change for me, still no default scroll. I use ie7 (not by choice! I do most of my browsing during lunch break at work.) I haven't had a chance yet to test with any boxes at home, but I'll report if I'm having trouble with those too.

Re: Version 1.8.53

jase:

Jase, the - icons (for remove from sticky list) as well as the "closed" and "notice" icons used to be right-aligned in the row with the thread or forum link.  Now they're left aligned, in front of the text in IE9 on Win Vista:

jase:
Horizontal scrolling - I get a scrollbar at the appropriate time on the same version of IE9 (though on Win 7).

I don't in Vista, as in the screenshot I attached; it's still a problem today.  Clicking "all" on this thread causes it.   If it happens in rMail, I get a scrollbar.  I don't know what's different between rMail display vs. thread and moderator page displays.

jase:
Focus should always been on the scrollable area now (whereas previously I had to use some javascript trickery to focus on the area).  Page down, etc, should always work, I use it a lot.

It is in Win 7 IE9, but not under Windows Vista, IE9.  That's the only difference I can find between my laptop, where it works, and my desktop, where it doesn't when I use IE.  (Deep refreshing doesn't change it.)

I am beginning to think that the issue here is IE on non-Windows 7 installs.  Thank-you oh-so-much, MS!

Re: Version 1.8.53

I hate to do this to you, but yes.  I did all my testing of the beta site on my laptop, figuring Win Vista and Win 7 would not make any real difference to web page display if I was using the same version of IE on both.

Turns out, it makes a difference :-(   I'm very sorry about that.
