Upgrade Part 1 Complete - What is a man.
I have upgraded the vBulletin code base to version 3.6.4. The second part will be reverting the templates to the newer versions to make many of the features available. Do you see anything broken / weird on GFF? Please be sure to include what feature/page and I will look into it!
Thanks! |
Thanks, I have lowered the time limit between posts to 25 seconds.

Edit: And now database errors. |
The post table width is smaller than other elements. See Exhibit A:
|
Not a major feature, but there is no longer a check mark over the poll icon after you have voted in said poll.
|
Few things.

Also, the unread announcement icon looks like piss against a dark background.

Yeah, I got a database error pop up when trying to use the Quick Reply box. It apparently still put up my post, because when I refreshed the page it told me I was posting a duplicate message that I had to go back and delete, but that's what showed up.
EDIT: And apparently it's going to say it's a duplicate post every time I post with the Quick Reply box now? EDIT AGAIN: Editing in the in-post box yielded this fun stuff (see attached). |

The only incompatibility I've seen aside from what's already been mentioned is the vbGoogle map. |
The double-post feature where two consecutive posts by the same user would be combined is not currently working.
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/te...9-testing.html |
The ratings are broken, as in they don't show up in profiles. You can't see if you made a rating at all. Actual rating number shows up in a person's post instead of the pips that were there before.

I think I've found an error with the 25 second delay between posts. If you sign in and post immediately, it'll give that error. Also, if you post with something and it gives you this error, it'll still post the response. But it'll tell you you'll need to wait 25 more seconds and brings you back to the message you were about to post.
|
At the moment, we have no banner.
Spoiler:
edit: Ah, nevermind, guess it was just the delay in the switchback to the normal banner. I had forgotten about the Christmas one. edit 2: no, wait everythings still fucked up, the banner's only showing up on certain parts of the board. |
The links in the journal section are now extra blue, too! They must be sad. :(
|
Damn, that 25 second waiting time/duplicate post error sure is annoying. I'd rather have the board shut down until the problems are all fixed.
|
Great idea. /me pulls the plug.
On you. |
I'll go over to my university tomorrow and see if I can connect to GFF from there. There's still plenty of templates to fix.
|
When I go into "Who Quoted Me?" or "Who Am I A Buddy Of?", the Control Panel / Settings & Options boxes disappear.
Screenshot: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y21...zville/GFF.jpg |
I got a database error when trying to post a second post in a thread. The post still went through, though.
And, like someone else said, the dupe post hack isn't working. |
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2.../sidemenu1.gif
This little glitch only seems to happen in the Who Quoted Me? portion of the side navigation. EDIT: DAMN YOU KIRBY |
|
As far as I can remember the Misc. portion always has, yes.

Also, when you click on 'edit folders' under Private Messages in the CP, the 'Chocosig: Hosting' line gets highlighted too.
|
Devo: it's a missing image file. At least I can fix that one now.
Edit: I've fixed the postbit template, so it should look normal again. Except for the ugly multi-quote button, someone should fix that >_> |
Where is the comprehensive "this is what's new on vB since the version you've updated from" list?

It has been mentioned already. I guess I'll pretend I'm the machine doing it.

Also, on the subject of what icons are not looking so good against a dark background, the IM icon for MSN has been kinda yucky for awhile now.
http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...isc/im_msn.gif |
That's because MSN has been kinda yucky for awhile now. http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...mpus/ninja.gif
|
If someone is willing to clean it up I'll gladly update it. ^o.o^
|
There are still about 20+ templates for me to update. I've just finished the thread viewing template though, so things should mostly work for you guys now. Next up are the forum view templates.
Note: I've disabled the doublepost prevention hack. There should be a 3.6.4 compatible version out. I'll leave that to Miles <3 |

We aren't keeping the new quick quote button, are we? It looks like ass, and it's a totally wacko size compared to the one we had before.
|
Like I said, that's not the quick quote button, that's multi-quote and is a new feature to 3.6+. And no we're not keeping it like this.
Plus someone needs to convert progress.gif (http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...c/progress.gif) to be dark-background friendly :( |
Hey, blah. We aren't keeping the new big fat ugly quote button, are we? It tooks terrible. :3
Errrr.... First person to give me a replacement multi-quote icon wins a free cookie. |
|
Yours is the MSN icon I believe. This new request is for the multi-quote icon! I can't add it till I leave the office and head for home. (can't access the FTP from my work computer)
|
These Icons need to be touched up or replaced since they
don't do well on a dark background: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/7523/calendargj1.gif http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/9092/icon4cr8.gif http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/3827/icon14qw0.gif http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/1...uoteoffpa5.gif Also, in Community Commons, the current browsing members seems to be glitched: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/2060/gitch1cu7.jpg It worked normally in General Discussion however: http://img462.imageshack.us/img462/4671/normaljy5.jpg Just a few things I noticed *Shrug* |
Updated the navigation templates.
Notice that you can now choose between showing posts or threads in the Search popups in the navbar or forum tools. |
http://www.nullpunktseite.de/temp/icon14.gif http://www.nullpunktseite.de/temp/icon4.gif
Try these for multi-quotes: http://www.nullpunktseite.de/temp/multiquote_off.gif http://www.nullpunktseite.de/temp/multiquote_on.gif Should do the trick, albeit tiny. The second one is meant to look like a button pressed. The AJAX progress bar looks awkward, too: http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...c/progress.gif |
Nice. I'll add as soon as I get home unless blah beats me to it.
|
The problem with the multi-quote button, also, is that we'll have to shrink down the existing edit and quote buttons to make space for them to coexist peacefully on the same line. The three will be too wide if we go as presently constituted.
We'll have to abbreviate it, too. xquote, or something. Or have the multi quote be an extension of the quote button. =o Although I guess the tiny ones work. |
Edit, quote and the HUUUUGE multiquote buttons already fit in the same line here.
The postbit has a fixed width, so it shouldn't be a problem even with lower resolutions. |
Yeah, I had to edit my post to make provision for the tiny thing you posted, because I actually didn't notice it when I first posted. I was anticipating having one of equal size to the other two, and that wouldn't work.
EDIT: I'm pretty sure we haven't always used gay buttons in our PM system. http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...eply_small.gif http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...ns/forward.gif |
I don't know who added how full one's PM box is, but
I like the new feature. Kudos to them! This is what I mean, BTW: http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8341/pmboxtt0.jpg |
Ooh, nice. I noticed that extra variable under the PM statistics when I updated the navbar, but I thought it only showed up when your PM box is completely filled.
In other news, new reply template updated. Multiquote should now work fully. (Click on a few multiquote buttons, then click 'quote'). In fact, if you're feeling adventurous, try multiquoting posts from several threads. Notice the message that shows up just below the message area in new reply. |
The multiquote button 'down' state is very subtle. It would be hard to pick out if you had to scroll back and unquote someone. Maybe add some kinds of glow?
http://www.sevenbits.net/imgbank3/mquote.gif http://www.sevenbits.net/imgbank3/mquote_down.gif http://www.sevenbits.net/imgbank3/mquote_button.gif http://www.sevenbits.net/imgbank3/loading.gifhttp://www.sevenbits.net/imgbank3/progress2.gif |
I agree. Switching to the better one now.
|
Your PM box is 94% full.
Personally I see that as a waste of space and it makes the top area looks messy. The max is 400; how bad can your math be to actually need that counter. Can someone atleast remove the "bolding" for that sentence? |
Doublepost prevention is back on. Everything is good except for the auto refresh. Blah will have to fix that.
|

Yeah, well, at least it doesn't get in the way.. I think it's better if that little message is included under our private message page in forums/private.php instead of what it is now. Also, just realized when we quote someone, the tag includes post number after their names; i.e. [QUOTE=Yamamanama;352849] and a shortcut. Nifty new feature.. [edit] Oshi there's a mini loading animation when I click edit. |

Actually upon further inspection some other people appeared in CC when browsing, so I guess you can disregard that part of what I said before. Also, I propose this be used as an emoticon: http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/203...dreamlamk8.gif |
I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask for this, but seeing as your going about with changes and whatnot, I thought I'd give it a shot:
Would it be possible to increase the size (length and width) of the Quick Reply and Advanced Reply paragraph input fields? Thanks. |
Replacement images uploaded, thread started date now shows up properly. I've implemented it as a plugin this time, so it should not break the next time we upgrade the board.
|
I'm n0t sure if anyone's noticed but all threads are showing their start date at 1970.
Also, can we move the Last Edited by Username at 4:33 PM thing to above people's signatures? It just bugs me since it makes sigs look messy. I noticed if you edit your response within about a minute of posting it, it won't show the reason for editing or anything, but if you come back in 10 minutes and change something, it'll display an edit. |
Quote:
|
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's always been the norm. I like it, though I'd like the non-showing-up time extended to 2 minutes.
|
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the moderator's "Move Thread" screen displays some peculiar results.
None of the thread moving options are labelled. The selection icons are there, and seemingly functional, but if you're trying to leave a redirect notice, you'll never know which option to click. Also, the "Move Thread" button isn't labelled at all. It lies blank, next to the "Reset Fields" button. |

Haha, I was just coming to post about the same error. I'm trying to remember which one was the choice I wanted. :p
|
I haven't gotten to those templates yet. I'm now in my university computer lab bidding on my modules.
I'll finish up the rest when I get back. |

Yeah. We should get that for editing our own posts. :-_-: And I'm using the "we" in the royal "I" sense of the term. 'cuz we am plural.
|
Private Message templates updated. Notice that you can now BCC messages to other people (BCC recipients will not see anyone else on the recipient list).
STEALTH EDIT: ChocoJournal / user rating settings are now working again in UserCP options. It now works via plugins rather than manual PHP file edits, so future upgrades will be much less troublesome. <3 plugins so much STEALTH EDIT 2: Footer now updated to 3.6.4 version. Enjoy the additional links (and style chooser). |
(I kinda like it without the extra footer section better, but that's just me)
|
So I just noticed the quick style chooser
at the bottom of the boards now. This wasn't there before, right?
So uh, is it going to stay there? I think it's almost a little silly, since we only have the normal style and the lite style to choose from. edit, fuck, beaten |
Unless they decide to make more styles...
|
Made the extra footer look less ugly.
The entire template set (except for the Lite style) is more or less finished. ChocoJournal latest entries now show up properly in the member profile. User ratings don't display yet, though. Let me know if there are any more bugs. I'll be adding some 3.6.4 plugins after this. |
Quote:
|
Ace. Did we have the moderator stuff available with the footer before? Either way, I like how it is now.
|
Finally fixed the missing sidebar entries in "Who Quoted Me" and "Who Am I A Buddy Of". It was a missing phrase group in the php files :3
|
Are the ratings something you can't fix BB?
|
I'll need the original member.php since bobo apparently hardcoded it inside. I don't want to rewrite that portion ;_;
|
So since it was hardcoded into the old VB is there any way we could grab it from the archive board and port it from there or is it long lost until bobo provides it to us? :3
|
New members are able to post links immediately again instead of having to make a specific amount of posts beforehand. Dunno if it's intentional, but I noticed it on a spam post.
|
Double clicking a thread to change its title is hot. Although I wonder if a threadmaker has that capability with his/her own threads, or if that's a privilege only afforded mods.
|
I can double-click on my own threads and an edit box comes up, but any changes I make are immediately reverted. :jealous:
Also, the report button on your own posts is pretty neat. Should come in handy if any accidental posts come up. I know you guys will love more reported posts! |
I revel in reported posts.

That would be because we don't have a gender. It's undisclosed, which makes it display a question mark. We could be male, female, both, or neither of them.
|
Yeah, after having browsed the forums a bit more it seems you're right. Before, everyone's gender would be "?" for me regardless of whether they'd chosen one or not. But now it actually seems to display them accurately for those who have.
|
That means it's fixed then!
I'll fix the avatar linking to profile bit. Ratings will remain broken until I get off my ass. |
can we get rid of that ugly icon? -> http://www.gamingforce.com/forums/im...ad_dot_hot.gif

There are some more that I noticed are missing, and the labeling should be more correct. I think there's still a thread_dot_hot that isn't done.

Also, the icons that Drex made aren't implemented in lite. |
Uploaded all the new thread icons. Thanks Drex!
I'll work on the lite set tomorrow. |
As RAB mentioned in a recent journal entry, gender preference now appears on the main profile page. Could someone put that back to normal?
|
I got rid of it but it somehow made the whole gender system implode.
Sorry blah :3 |
By "got rid of it", did you mean "deleted the entire field"?
Because that's legendary. |
I think there's a problem with the edit feature. Like when you edit your post, your sig get push down in the post bellow of in the quick reply space. I don't remember being that way, I think the sig was disappearing when you clicked the edit button.
here's what I'm talking about: http://content.imagesocket.com/thumbs/edit5f9.jpg |
The post table is supposed to expand if your sig gets pushed down. This problem is actually Firefox-specific. Notice that sigs sometimes bleed over into other posts, whether or not you're editing.
|
oh I see, I only notice it when I was editing a post, so I thought it could be the problem...
|
Just a reminder, user ratings are still defective. :(
And we used to be able to click on a poster's avatar to see their profile, but that is no longer active. |
Image for a moderated post looks like crap. Here's another quickie to fix it up, if you like. I like that they have the red x over the person's mouth, but I think someone with actual artistic skill (rather than someone who just resizes and cleans things up) could come up with something better. Especially at that size.
http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r.../moderated.gif Additional Spam: http://i141.photobucket.com/albums/r...ated_small.gif for display on a forum page of which threads have been moderated. Only cleaned up. We'll also need something cleaner for the PM section.

http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6...infooo9.th.jpg
I noticed this when in the General Discussion board earlier. The thread that has been moved displays that no replies, or even that no-one has posted in it, even though there is replies in the thread. Don't know if this is due to the upgrade, but I'm pretty sure that when threads have been moved before, they display the number of posts in them once they have been moved. |
Better progress gif that works with the quoted background:

Yeah, redirected threads haven't shown number of replies in the actual thread for a long time on vBulletin.
I'm using the redirects now because you can have them expire after an hour. That way if the thread creator doesn't see their thread, they won't make another copy of it with some irate comment about censorship that we'll have to close. :p |
Dunno if it was mentioned, but the feature to see who all voted for you is gone =U I'd look for it, but the topic is Six Pages long~ (flame me if someone mentioned it already. I love pain)
|
Someone mentioned it already, poopface.
|
So did you guys break the lite set or what? plz fix kthx.
Also, this: http://content.imagesocket.com/thumbs/thing4fc.jpg I don't know if it's supposed to look like that or not, but I much prefer a list to having everything just thrown about like that. |
People only tell us to fix broken stuff while we're fixing it =(
I'll make that a list, then. |
Hey man I just woke up, gimme a break. :V
Also, having the last replied to thread + the person who replied to the thread on the left was nice. In fact, if you could just bring it back to the way it was last night it would be great. EDIT: Lolz this is fun to watch. It's like everytime I say something my wish comes true. |
Should I make "no sigs" mandatory in lite set?
|
Hmm no, but adding the option in the CP would be a nice touch.
Also, if you could get rid of the uggo gradient above each post again, that would be stellar. |
So did we decide that we hate my additional thread icons, or what? I posted them up two days ago and they're still not up. :( If you hate them, just tell me so I can run off and cry instead of being confused. ^_^
|
I already uploaded them a while back, do a hard refresh.
|
I swear I did. :( Oh well, it works for me now. Sometimes I boggle myself.
|
I noticed that the Gender Preference: (lol) thing under Additional Information on the profile page has been done away with. Could Age: go away as well, please? It's pretty, you know, useless.
|
I'd just like to say that the lite set is looking really nice now, even better than before. Don't change anything everrrrr.

I like it.

ok fine >.>
but may I suggest an option to select which you prefer? like in the forum option? |
I would like an option too, as I am also set in my ways. It's not so much the way it displays the last time posted, it's seeing ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago ago all over the board.
Ago's an ugly word. |
Should be renamed to Agro, and have a picture of Agro instead of just the word!
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/8366/agroqd4.jpg Oh Agro, you shall make everyone frown! |
Would it be better if I replaced "Ago" with "Prior".
"Prior" is a pretty word. It flows off the tongue! |

When you click on "Add ____ to Your Buddy List" from that person's profile, it no longer adds them automatically, but takes you to the Buddy/Ignore List page in your own User CP and adds that person's name to the Add Buddy field, where you have to click another button to add them.

I like to know the exact time (in my frame of reference) that each post was posted. "4 Hours Ago" doesn't include minutes, so it fails. |
