Forum upgrade: missing bits

[Pumaman]

Ok, so I've upgraded the forum to the latest version of SMF (the successor to YabbSE, which we were using previously). However, this has meant that previous hacks I'd put into the forum have been lost.

I've put the registration quiz back, but there is bound to be more that I've forgotten about, so feel free to post here to report any missing features or things that aren't working any more.

Incidentally, the "Offer Your Services" feature is now available (go to your profile, in the "Forum Profile Information" section).

So, things to do:
DONE "transferred from ezboard" in date registered
DONE bmp I'm With Stupid thing
DONE locked threads go to bottom in C&A forum
DONE the "automatically edited for txt-spelling" footer
DONE fix underline tags not to be broken by the txt-filter
DONE change Offer Your Services images to use "title" rather than "alt"
DONE hover over username should show actual user name
DONE spoiler tags
DONE remove post count
DONE "BBCode and Smileys" link in the Post screen

[dasjoe]

please disable the post-count next to the username, to prevent users from repeating something that has been said before only for getting a higher post count.
i liked the way it was before (only shown when posts < 11).

edit 1: and disable the gender thingy, this are no flirt-forums.

edit 2: the description of the "offer your services"-thingy fon't show up, at least not when hovering the image.

edit 3: it doesn't show up, but i'm using firefox. and it's correctly declared as alternate text..
and please bring the old new smilies back. these antialiased don't look that great.

u r gr8 ne1. I wonder if the txt-filter is still here. Whee, looks like it is.

edit: (but it doesn't add that "edited txt-style spelling", it seems)
edit2: Neither does it seem to say "post last edited at ..."
edit3: Maybe this only applies to your own posts
edit4: ah, screw it
edit5: Esseb's edit3 seems to make sense.

Spoiler

santa doesn't exist

[close]

Edit: If you get around to implementing the hide thing again, could you make it similar to the quote only with the colour of the text changed as well?

santa doesn't exist

Edit2: Ugh, better change the quote bg colour to white again as well.

Edit3: Ghormak: I think it only does that if a certain amount of time has passed since between you first posted the post and edited.

Edit4: It would make more sense if I edited it and fixed the grammar.

Ooh, new smileys! There seems to be diffenrent fonts and text sizes that weren't here earlier and they catch my eye. But also some nice things, like upcoming birthdays.

EDIT: Also some topic icons are changed, I liked old smileys and icons better.

[..]

I do like the new Icon for MSN.. The old one was icky.

Whats with the additional options thing?

[Andail]

I prefered when you stayed in the topic after having replied, but it's no big deal.

Also, get rid of the post count, it's really superfluous.
Dunno if you remembered the bmp restriction, thought I should just remind you.

[Esseb]

Use the title tag for the thingies below Scuthbert's avatar rather than alt. They only show up in IE and other dodgy browsers now.

Edit: You can turn that back on in your profile Andail.

oooh quick reply \o/

[Phemar]

NO! The font is too big, the

looks ugly!

Aaa!

Cool smileys though....

[shbaz]

Bluecup graphics on the sides of posts.

I also dislike the postcount and "quote" display colors.

[Stickieee]

The recent messages page has wrong font/font colour in title. I can't remember what they were, but they're wrong now.

Go to "Look and Layout Preferences" in your profile and there's a check-box for "Return to topics after posting by default".


Get rid of the little icons to the left of the Subject (e.g. this graphic ). I don't think they were there before... i can't even remember and it's only been 8 hours!!!!!!1

Unfortunately they aren't the bluecup graphics.

Bluecup =
"icons to the left of the Subject" =

They look totally different to me.

EDIT - Also the "Average posts per week" in the profiles might be nice to have back. I've noticed there's already a "per day" one next to your post count. Also, the "Additional Options" tab should maybe show by default when posting a message.

I really like the new smileys, but I was hoping we'd incorporate Darth's smileys.

Will we be getting back the BBcode (or similar) hyperlink to tell us forum shortcuts/effects.

okay, both of those still work, and I would hope they are documented in the next edition of a BBcode list. I know the otherone was a general one, but one tailored to us would be best.

Also, will you be adding in the graphics "Attention: Overuse of Sarcasim in this post was used." or the like, to our reply areas as selections?

[BOYD1981]

urgh! it's orrible!

[Inkoddi]

Bring back the good ol' forums!!!

[shbaz]

Unfortunately they aren't the bluecup graphics.

I'm aware. I was pointing out that you pointed out something which I had already pointed out.

[Barcik]

Since it isn't really much of change, it's all well. It'll probably take a while to get used to completely, but again, as the changes are minimal it won't take a long time. However, I do agree that you must remove the post count ASAP, before we get some serious flooding.
