Forum upgrade

TomatoesInTheHead · Sun 27/05/2012 00:54:05

Only a small thing: The icons "Insert Table Row" and "Insert Table Column" look switched to me. Also, the [glow] and [shadow] buttons should probably give codes that work, using gray or something, like [glow=gray,2][/glow] and [shadow=gray,bottom][/shadow]

And a bigger thing: Thanks AGA for doing all this work on the forums!

So the forums were down for a while earlier (no idea how long) due to a database error. Should be okay now though.

As a bonus though, the forums' previous slowness seems to be gone.

Quick replies and easier formatting ^___^

Affirmative; that was a major nuiseance and, at least for me, is now no longer one! Good job!

The Forum upgrade is getting better... I like the text editor functions.

My only gripe at the moment is that the quote symbol overlaps the change color selector. if you try to select the color RED, it overlaps.

You may already know but it's always worth a mention.

EDIT Aghhhhhhhhhh you've moved it......

Good job SO far AGA

You know, I need those little ones to survive

So I want to report about some probs with the commands in the reply.
The first line of smilies appears over the second line of other commands and therefor these are veeery difficoult to â€œcatchâ€.

Here you can see, how it comes up for me:

Can I correct it by changing some settings?

Could we get youtube tags or some other way to embed youtube videos into forum posts? That would be really useful!

This doesn't happen to me on Firefox 12 on the AGS Compact theme. What is your setup?

Already exists. [embed]

AGA, it seems to only happen when the window width isn't as large as the quick buttons. (Firefox 12 here)

I tried using embed but couldn't get it to work. What does it want me to paste there? The youtube link doesn't work, the embed code on the youtube video doesn't work either..?

I am not sure what you mean by this, sorry.
... but I am using a laptop with windows vista and IE
and the forum settings are:
Current Theme: AGS
Quik Reply is set to WYSIWYG (with bbc buttons and smilies) ~ which has the same result

If I reduce the window to get only one line of bbc buttons, it works of course )but is very small

so it might have to do with it.

Doesn't work on my end, not when I do it and not in your post.

Just shows up as raw text!

AGA · Sat 02/06/2012 23:44:24

Yeah, it worked at one point, and I'm trying to work out why it stopped now.

AGA · Sat 02/06/2012 23:57:49

There we go. You have to specify a video size (which it now does by default - didn't used to). Bear in mind you also need to put the embed info provided by YouTube / other site (<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZLr2DN2KHdc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> type link) rather than just the page URL.

DoorKnobHandle · Sun 03/06/2012 00:09:12

Thanks, works like a charm now!

When I try to do a search for a game with a number after the title, the forum won't let me saying, "The Minimum Characters in a Search Word Are" That's it. I can't find anything with that.

Snarky · Thu 14/06/2012 11:45:09

Whenever I post, the site sends me back to the forum. Usually I'd like to see the thread I just posted in. I can't find a setting to control this, either.

Should be under "Look & Layout" -> "Return to topics after posting by default."

Can you tell me the exact search terms you're using? Then I can look into the exact problem.
