Petie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 [color="#0000ff"]Unfortunately, I don't see a way to change the time after which that line appears but I will look into making it smaller because you're right, the line really does stand out right now.

Boo Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) WHERE ARE THE WORMS? :'( Also, Petie's title is showing up in HTML code. :^D Edited June 3, 2010 by Lady Shy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 [color="#0000ff"]They're on the list of things to be re-added to the site. Rest assured, they still exist, they're just hiding for now. And oops... this forum doesn't like HTML in the titles so it broke when I updated my profile. It's fixed now but thanks for pointing that out [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allamorph Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 [FONT=Calibri]Why are the forum blurb boxes different widths? Although I suppose I should really punctuate that with a period so that my tone carries properly.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allamorph Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) [font="Calibri"]The box on the main page which contains the forum name and the blurb about it. Right of the New/No New button. [b]Edit:[/b] I just got a database error when trying to access the latest post in this thread from the main page. Only lasted for about one second but it was still there.

Petie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 [color="#0000ff"][strike]You were looking for the original page that showed who was online and what they were doing I assume? If so, there is no such page with IPB. You can still see who's online from that list and clicking on individual members will let you see what their current activity is but you can't do it all in one place.[/strike] And I'm not sure what would be causing that for you. I tried resizing my browser to various widths and still, all of my columns line up. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) Just click on either of the "Show by ...." (right above the active users) links and you'll go to the Who's Online page with more info.

OMNOMNOMALY Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) [s][font="Garamond"]I'm having trouble adding some people to my friend's list :C It says Loading... for ages and then after awhile I'll refresh and it'll still say "add me as a friend" and they won't show up on my friend's list. And if I go and try again it'll say "member is already on your friends list." but they still aren't. WAT DO?[/font][/s] I might understand now, but if it is what I think it is, you need a "friend request has been sent to ____ for approval," rather than friend has already been added message. lolz.

James Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 (edited) [font="Palatino Linotype"]I am also having problems with the forum column on the main page, but only on the XL Basic skin and only on the Anime & Manga and General Discussion & Support categories are showing differently to the others. This happens with Firefox on both Windows and OSX. [/font] Edited June 4, 2010 by James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desbreko Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 [color=#4B0082]The varying width of the columns on the front page happens when your browser window is small enough that there's not enough room in those table cells to contain the last post info in the normal percentage of the table width. So, like any HTML table without forced pixel widths applied to its cells, they adapt to the content in them and stretch out if the space isn't needed by the other cells in the row. If I maximize my browser window on my 1920x1200 monitor, the cells are always the same width because there's always room to spare in every cell. But if I resize the window to less than 1280 width, they start to vary. If you want the columns to always be the same width at resolutions lower than 1280 width, you'd have to lower the number of characters used in the thread links in the last post info column.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petie Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 [color="#008080"][color="#0000ff"]I've tried resizing my browser to very small windows and I still can't get the columns to fall out of alignment. The only reason I can think of for this is that the software reads your screen resolution instead of the current size of your browser when it sets the table width. Because, for me anyway, I can only shrink the window so far and then the table's width fixes itself and I get a horizontal scroll bar from that point forward.[/color] [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lower the browser window size to less than 1024 width, I get a horizontal scroll bar. I imagine the tables themselves have a min-width attribute applied to them, but the table cells don't have any fixed sizes. So at small window sizes, you get fixed width tables but variable width cells within those tables.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horendithas Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 [color="#4B0082"][font="Arial"]This isn't so much a bug per se as it's a problem getting a new member set up. My little sister in law is visiting and when she tried to sign up, she accidentally typed in part of her e-mail wrong. She put aol.com instead of aim.com. The system let her change it but when she tries to get it to resend the validation e-mail The system just hangs and does nothing. I can pull up her account myself, but we haven't really gone over the mod tools so I'd rather not play with it just yet since it's obvious that it's quite different. That and I'm not even sure if what I can access will even let me get that validation thing sorted out. So Des or James, if you could take a look, I'd appreciate it. User name: Selene Shri Oh and she'd ask herself, but since she's not validated, she can't post yet so, I'm doing it for her.

Desbreko Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 [color=#4B0082]Another member just had the same problem and had to borrow her sister's account to PM me and ask for help. I've validated both accounts through the admin cp, but I haven't been able to figure out what's wrong with the e-mail validation yet. [b]Edit:[/b] Yeah, so I get this when I try to have the site resend a validation e-mail. Not sure what's up with it.

Petie Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 [color="#0000ff"]This confirms what I thought might be an issue. It seems that the forum is completely incapable of sending any email right now as notice of new profile comments and friends has not been going through. Now that I know what the issue may be though, I'll see if I can fix it. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
