New forum code is IN - report issues here!

[retrogmr]

Hey everyone;
The new code is IN. I'm sure there are going to be some issues that come up (a bunch of forum members have been beating this code up for the past week, but there's always stuff they don't catch). Here are the issues I'm aware of as of this moment:

- Some functions may not be available in other templates; the subRed template is where all the new toys are installed. As Joe mentioned, functions will get migrated to the other templates once we've gotten all the kinks worked out of subRed
- There's a bug with mail notification in the Game room; this one may take a little longer to hunt down, so be patient :)

Anything else is fair game; please post it here so we don't have to hunt through the forums to find out what's broken. Have fun with the new digs!

[Griking]

I can't access my profile.

[boatofcar]

Profile button's not working for me.

[davidbrit2]

I can't access my profile.

Ditto, which I just sent you a PM about before I noticed this thread. ;-)

[fergojisan]

I can't get to the forums through the main page, just throught the recent posts. Looks very good so far though.

I want medals too! :-P

[retrogmr]

For those of you using themes other than subRed, you may need to switch for the time being. Not all of the new functions were coded into the other templates (for example, you can't currently access your profile in Chronicles because the phot mod needs to be applied there).

Hmm...looks a little squashed, but that's about it for me. Guess it's time to mess around with some of this stuff.

Well you see, that would work just dandy, except that the board theme selection is in the profile settings. Ha ha.

[roxybaby]

Very minor, but I see all of our ranks have switched back to the standard text (cherry, peach, etc.).

[GarrettCRW]

My Space Invaders are squashed. ;)

[-hellvin-]

Very minor, but I see all of our ranks have switched back to the standard text (cherry, peach, etc.).

I'm guessing that's because of the shop...you'll probably have to purchase a rank now perhaps?

[fergojisan]

Erm, the Bea Arthur/Esther Rolle filter has been disabled on the Watched Topics page. Just in case that's a priority. ;)

Paris hilton.

Still works here!

Bea Arthur.

Just admit it; you're hot for them. ;)

[suppafly]

The font looks kind of different...not worse...just somewhat different!

Thanks!

[goatdan]

Few things... Both visual and broken things I found since it seems like opinions can be said here too... if not, please excuse me :)

Shop - Lottery - Jobs all don't work. I don't know if they are supposed to or not.

A visual thing -- for "Games" the purple text on the red background is nearly impossible to read for me. White please? Or something else?

My profile seems to be fine.

Board Announcements above the forums look really out of place to me... especially seeing stuff that are announcements from other forms like the Monday MAME club. Personally, it just looks cluttered. Again, not really a problem, but one announcement would be a lot better to me.

I don't like the Red / Black scrollbar scheme at all. In fact, I despise it. I think the old one (in the other posts which is still there) looked about a million times better. Also, I would personally appreciate it if the regular site scroll bar wasn't messed with.

At the bottom of the page, where is says "Display posts from previous:" it has a black background -- should be red with black text?

The messages that have been red turn a slightly darker shade of gray. Could they be red again?

That it! For the most part I like it, and I'm not just being a stickler for tradition, but the site just seems to be a lot "louder" than it was before...

[Uzi 9mm]

Also, is it me or are the forum icons skewed?

[InsaneDavid]

Naa, the location just changed, in your profile instead of rank look for -

"Custom Title:
When used, this will add an additional user title to your posts. There is a 45 character limit."

[InsaneDavid]

Sorry - double post, error on my side.

[Ninja Blacksox]

Aside from the previously mentioned "squashed icons" and the rank description, the site looks great!

Good job, all!

[Archenemy]

So I have the Chronicles Theme and cannot access my Profile... so HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SWITCH BACK TO RED??

WHERE IS MY CUSTOM MADE RANK???

Other than that, just ignore me ;)

[MegaDrive20XX]

Nice, I like it so far, can't wait to see how this develops...I like how the custom rank and Levels are shown at the same time now

[Cirrus]

See InsaneDavid's post up above yours.

edit: I'd like to add that these changes are really exciting! Reading these forums is basically all I do when I'm at the computer anymore... I hope these changes are all for the better. :)

[Kilik Kurosawa]

im on a cable modem and its still very slow. transitioning from fourms to DP shop took almost a minute. i like the new look though

Argh, same problem with me. I can't access any of the new features, either. :(

[Cirrus]

Does the display font look a bit different, or is it just me? That was the first thing I noticed, but now I'm not sure...

[Kilik Kurosawa]

I think goatdan mentioned this but previously viewed topics in the fourms are now a light grey color compared to the pink, maybe a different color?

[NeoSNightmarE]

the games arent working for me.

All well and good in words, but can't access profile to change it! Lol! LOL

Currently using SubSilver

[AtariBuff]

enhancements are great so far - congrats.

one thing though: i can't access my have-want-trade lists. --- OBSOLETE, all working fine now :D

[jajaja]

I liked the old font better

[Videogamerdaryll]

I can't access my profile.

Ditto..

When I came here today I was able to access my profile once as I wanted to see if I can change the bright looking red to a different look..
I chose REDICE..but I don't like it and I can't change it back now..
When I press profile I get.

Template->make_filename(): Error - template file not found: profile_photo_box.tpl

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

having trouble with my collection/wanted/trade pages

[punkoffgirl]

Hrm, odd.
Just got this error message when I posted in Off Topic, in the Caption This 4-8-05 thread (but my post still went through):

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 554 5.3.0 rewrite: map site1_u not found

I got this just now when responding to a thread (the friday caption this photo post)

Heh, obviously I posted here before reading POG's response. :) Also, every time I respond I get a thing that said I've exceeded my post limit for the day or something ... so far today, I've posted twice.

"Your message has been entered successfully.
You have exceeded the alloted amount of posts and will not earn anything for your post"

[Mayhem]

Not seen anything yet... *dodges bullets*

No errors, no link problems...

I will agree though that the links do temporarily turn grey when you click them...

[shoes23]

Running Mozilla and I'm not seeing anyones avatar?!
Maybe just me?

[shoes23]

Nevermind :embarrassed:
Just went to the shop.

[hydr0x]

so, how do we earn meseta other than posting and applying to jobs? i see mayhem has already >100 X_x

[Flack]

Everyone's avatar just disappeared for me as well about 2 minutes ago.

We need to buy them at the shop! Along with sigs.

[maxlords]

I miss my avatar...

[PentiumMMX]

I miss my avatar...

Same here...

But otherwise, the fourms are working good! Now I need to work in killing Swarms to get some money!

EDIT: YAY! I got back my avatar! (Oh yeah! Doing the Happy Dance!)

I hope this isn't too dumb of a question, but how do I access this shop that you speak of? Where's the link?

[sisko]

On the "Jobs" page, jobs taken and jobs remaining have their stats flip-flopped.

[kainemaxwell]

Looks fine thus far.

[AtariBuff]

hmm, in some skins there is no link to the shops. will have to test that a bit more.

[Arcturius]

I hope this isn't too dumb of a question, but how do I access this shop that you speak of? Where's the link?

For me they appear at the top of the screen under the Retrogaming Roundtable introduction in the links where the profile is situated.

[fergojisan]

Hey, cool, I just made a post, and before it went through, accidentally hit the submit button again. It said I couldn't post another reply so soon, for flood insurance. Maybe that will take care of a lot of double posts? :-P

I really think this is going to be a lot of fun once the dust settles. I'm looking forward to playing Asteroids and getting a cat. :meow:

[FABombjoy]

Speaking of avatars, signatures, etc... Wasn't there supposed to be an option to disable them in the new software? I looked in the profile but didn't see any.

[CartCollector]

Would someone please explain how this "meseta" works?

[CartCollector]

Also, how do you add to your watched topics?

[retrogmr]

- you earn meseta for posts and other stuff (see AdamG's announcement for the FAQ)
- There's a link at the bottom of every post page, "Watch this topic for replies". Clink the link, then it wills how up in your watched topics list

[Link_Chrono]

Only 3 of the games are showing up for me... It's also saying that the last game I played is one that I can't see @_@

EDIT: All of the games are showing up properly now...

[Sotenga]

Okay, the last few posts I made denied me meseta. Hopefully, this one will work, but if not, I swear that I'm going to clone myself, hand each clone a large trout, and initiate a boardwide slapfest that will trudge on for fortnights.

EDIT: FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! I REFUSE TO DISABLE THE CAPS LOCK FEATURE UNTIL THIS THING WORKS RIGHT!!!

Re-edit: And, of course, after editing this post, I FINALLY get some, making me look like a world-class bunghole. Nothing to see here, carry on everyone.

[Mr.FoodMonster]

Looks like SOMEBODY has the trophy for asteroids. Hehehe

[Lemmy Kilmister]

having trouble with my collection/wanted/trade pages

Same with me. Please tell me I don't need to add my whole collection over again.

[drwily008]

*EDIT* I found what I was looking for - Thanks

BTW - It has told me that I have reach my limit on Meseta, but I haven't received any at all. Hope this will be fixed too!

[PentiumMMX]

Ok, I miss my custom rank text (You know, my "I like Mayl!" rank). What do I have to buy to get this back?

[Simply Dave]

having trouble with my collection/wanted/trade pages

Same with me. Please tell me I don't need to add my whole collection over again.

Same here. I was hoping I wouldn't have to enter all those games in again.

[MegaDrive20XX]

my avatar died again...

Yet now it makes sense...*just read the FAQ*

[Arcturius]

Yeah that nearly cought me out too *chuckles* I refreshed and they all vanished and I was like "what the..." checked the posts and found that I had to buy the rights back. this is kinda fun hope the novilty doesn't wear too thin to soon though ^-^

[Sanriostar]

What about those of us that are running on a P2, and thus the games are dragging some serious ass? Burgertime doesn't operate unless I Don't hit the control keys! :angry:

[drwily008]

Something else that I always thought would be a good idea. If we could view people's collection/want/trade lists (an icon to click to link to the lists) like we do PM/EMAIL/WWW/etc.. on their posts underneath their signature.

[PapaStu]

I noticed that when I was in my PM box that I could see how much percentage wise I had filled up my box, there was no longer a meter showing how close to the 100% full I actually was.

[Mayhem]

Ok, I miss my custom rank text (You know, my "I like Mayl!" rank). What do I have to buy to get this back?

It's just been reset in your profile. Add it back in again!

[davidbrit2]

I don't know what the deal is, but I can't submit scores for any of the games. What exactly is supposed to happen when I click Send/Submit?

[Cmosfm]

I'm not recieving Meseta, I get a "allotted post" error or some junk. :(

[Sotenga]

I'm not recieving Meseta, I get a "allotted post" error or some junk. :(

Ditto here, but I got a little bit of meseta by editing my posts, then expanded that into the amount you see before you by doing good at games! Three trophies so far, more pending! :king:

[Jibbajaba]

Great. We have to buy back our fruit. This mesetta business is going to lead to more +1 posting and meaningless posts in general. I agree with the others who suggested that we get some mesetta based on our current post count.

On a positive note, I REALLY like the games section. One more way to screw off at work.

[Bratwurst]

Count me as one of the few losers still clinging to the Chronicles theme, it and the other non-SubRed themes don't have any of the new options available by default.

[Cirrus]

It seems that I don't have the ability to earn any meseta (I had 2 when I logged on today). I posted a couple of times and it said I exceeded my posts for the day.

Well, I posted late last night, but certainly didn't earn anything for it. Is there any way to reset my count for the day to get credit for the posts I am making now?

I guess I don't want to be avatarless, etc..

[Snapple]

Maybe it's just me, but parts of the forum seem to be loading slower than usual.

If I had a choice between all these extra goodies and a quick-loading forum, I'd rather have quick-loading by far.

[ventrra]

When I posted a message in Off Topic, I recieved the following error:

Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 554 5.3.0 rewrite: map site1_u not found

The message was posted, however the error didn't dissappear .

[Push Upstairs]

This new font on the SubRed theme is...well...weird looking.

I like the old font better but if this is going to be in place for good..whats the old font so i can change it in my Firefox prefs.
