Forum upgrade

[arj0n]

There was a way to see my own last posts (listed) but I can't find that option anymore...

[Snarky]

It's under the Profile menu, choose Summary, and then on the left under your avatar, Show posts.

Why does the forum look totally different when you're logged out?

Why does the forum look totally different when you're logged out?

I am working on a new theme and when I created the theme it changed the "default" back to the original SMF theme (not sure why it did that). 

I have switched it back to the AGS theme now so that issue should be sorted.

UPDATE!!

Okay... I have created the "compact" version of this layout:

• Click on Profile (top nav)
• Hover on "Modify Profile" and click "Look and Layout"
• Top option is "Current Theme" and select "Change" (over to the right)
• Find "AGS (compact)" in the list of available themes
• Click on "use this theme"

This is a much more compacted version (hence the name).  I don't like it nearly as much but I think it will appease those that felt the default AGS theme had too much "dead" space.  For the most part it's identical to the default AGS theme, I just tucked in most of the padding.

Some of the changes/updates made include:

• Headers are 24px (instead of 31px)
• Removed the moderator labels from the board index
• Post/topic counts width are 12%
• Post/topic counts are font-size 11px
• Last Post boxes width are 28%
• Last post font size shifted to 10px

There's also another way to fit the forum layout to your own taste, as least if you're using Firefox:

-Find the file called userContent.css. For XP, it's in [Username]/Application Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.xxxxxxx/chrome/
(If it's not there, create it in Notepad, don't save it as .txt though, switch to "all files" before saving)

Now paste this into the file:

Code: ags

tr.windowbg2 td {
	padding: 0.2em 0.6em !important;
	line-height: 95% !important;
}

Restart firefox and BAM!

Although I mentioned the whitespace, it didn't bother me really, however having tried the compact theme I do prefer it so thank you very much for providing this

I was a bit confused at first as I didn't notice (admittedly big) button to Modify my profile. It seemed odd floating above everything else like that and I started waffling about an alternative way to show that menu but i've just now discovered the toggle button on the right hand side.. much nicer

Really, you guys are wonderful, the forums are evolving into something something fantastic more and more each time I look!

Alright, you're going to have to provide screenshots to demonstrate this because what you're saying doesn't match what I'm seeing.

[Stupot]

Same here.
Clicking on 'profile', as well as hovering over 'profile' and clicking on both 'summary' and 'account settings' all leads me to the same page.  I'm sure one of them is supposed to give me a view of my profile page.

[straydogstrut]

Yeah, the summary page seems not to have been implemented? It takes me to Account Settings too. Looking at the SMF manual and at other sites it seems should be at http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;area=summary;u=userid where userid is the number you see when you hover over one of the modify profile options.

I see the colour highlighting css for directly linked posts were added. Unfortunately the markup for when a linked post is the first post of a page is different, so those posts won't get highlighted. Fixed CSS below, using the sibling combinator selector:

Code: ags

/* Linked post */
a#new + div.windowbg,
a#new + div.windowbg span.topslice,
a#new + div.windowbg span.topslice span,
a#new + div.windowbg span.botslice,
a#new + div.windowbg span.botslice span {
	background: lime !important;
}

a#new + div.windowbg2,
a#new + div.windowbg2 span.topslice,
a#new + div.windowbg2 span.topslice span,
a#new + div.windowbg2 span.botslice,
a#new + div.windowbg2 span.botslice span {
	background: pink !important;
}

/* Linked post when first post in a thread */
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg:first-child,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg:first-child span.topslice,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg:first-child span.topslice span,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg:first-child span.botslice,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg:first-child span.botslice span {
	background: lime !important;
}

a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg2:first-child,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg2:first-child span.topslice,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg2:first-child span.topslice span,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg2:first-child span.botslice,
a#new ~ div#forumposts div.windowbg2:first-child span.botslice span {
	background: pink !important;
}

Same here.

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;area=summary and http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;area=summary&userid=6554 both work for me (first link is own profile, second is whichever user's).  However, I'm not a normal user, and nor is DarthMandarb, so it's probably worth knowing if this is affecting multiple normal users?

[straydogstrut]

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;area=summary&u=6554
or
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile;u=6554;area=summary

both take me to Stupot's summary page and I can see the show posts link etc. Same with yours AGA.

However substituting my own id in either address dumps me at the Account Settings page, even though the url remains unchanged.

[AGA]

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile is your own profile.  You don't need the summary or u variables...  This should be what the profile link at the top of each page links to?

You cannot see your own profile without the account settings options.  It will look basically identical to how other people see it though, just with more options.

What we're getting at is that

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile

and

EDIT: I meant http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile&area=summary

are identical. They both go to the "account settings" page.

[AGA]

Ah, so I created a test account to see what you people see.  This isn't what I see at all.  I'll take a look at the code tomorrow to see if I can change fix this.

For me, the first link sends me to my profile summary and the second link takes me to the main board index... just as (from the links' appearances) they should?  I'm very confused 

[Hudders]

OK, sorry. What I mean is that if I click on "Profile", "Summary" or "Account Settings" I get exactly the same page.

Summary actually goes to http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile I don't know where "action=summary" came from in my previous post. In my defence I am quite tired...

[Chicky]

Great work so far! The dusty old forums now look very tidy.

I noticed that there is very little (maybe zero?) spacing between characters on the board information box. It becomes fairly hard to read on higher resolutions:



Might just be me, Chrome on Mac.

Everything else is ace My avatar is now a little slower with twice the pixels!

That's because you're an admin.  I created a normal user account and it looked different...

I am not dealing with the site upgrade, this is the forum upgrade thread.  I will move these posts to the correct thread.
