Forum Software Upgrade

[Gryzor]

Arghhhh! Then user Opera, put the forum on SpeedDial and hit the combo key. I'm sure there are shortcut solutions for other browsers as well :p

This looks better with icons, also I was used to them, the text was sort of... erf... not that good.

Thx.

[Gryzor]

Yes, because the text was actually the ALT text of the images...

There seems to be a problem with the add multi quote feature. I'm assuming that if I click on the add multi quote, the text from that quote will be included with the second quoted message that I click quote on, this doesn't seem to be happening, which means I have to click on quote for the first message I want, copy that and exit and click on the second bit.

Or is there something I'm not doing right there?

As I said before, you have to click on multi-quote on each separate message, then click reply. It just worked for me
There are some cases where it will fail, presumably because it works with cookies - haven't managed to track it down yet. But this post is proof it works!

Well it's not working for me and I just tried that and got no quotes. And yes I've tried different combinations - all no good!

Unfortunately it seems to be failing for me everytime I want to do this, all I can do is copy my first quote and add it into the second message I'm quoting. May mean a slight delay but at least it works.

Well, mind giving your system specifics?

WinXP running IE8, my security and privacy are set to Medium-High, Javascript I'm unsure - 1.3 I think. Nothing fancy, though I do have anti-virus software (as anybody would).

[Gryzor]

Can't get it to work with f*cking IE... Will look a bit into it but I wouldn't have too much faith

It might be this stupid Adobe Flashplayer which is screwing things up (if you think IE is bad, then Flashplayer is definitely worse on my computer!  ).

[Gryzor]

Yet Flash should not appear in the forum pages...

[AMSDOS]

My Privacy is set to medium-high which has an impact on 3rd party cookies which can do things with my details without my explicit consent. Perhaps this is preventing the use of the multi-quote option?

[Gryzor]

Well, why don't you try it and tell us?

I did try toying around with privacy settings (in IE9 it doesn't go below 'medium'! WTF?) but got nowhere...

[AMSDOS]

Well, why don't you try it and tell us?

And reveal all my secrets to the world? 

I've kept my privacy Medium-High, however I've excluded this site which comes up "cpcwiki.eu" so cookies can be used only on this site. Even with this enabled though I still cannot produce multi-quoted posts.

Got nowehere as in multi-quoted posts still worked? Or got nowhere as in IE is nowhere near as good as the other web-browsers?

Not working

The ultimate Amstrad CPC community!

This is on the upper right of the page...

Quite good and true but wouldn't it be better to get

The ultimate international Amstrad CPC community!

The "international word is quite... accurate and then it won't hurt more nationalistic sites or peoples (the ones who rarely come here because they speak bad english....)

[Ygdrazil]

This is a good sugestion :-)

"Calling International Rescue" has a nice ring about it!    Though seriously are people really put off because of different languages? I'm still checking out the German section occassionally which may not make a lot of sense through an interpreter, German Dictionary helps cause it also includes common sentences, better than nothing I suppose. I also have a look at the Spanish ESP which has some interesting stuff on it!   

[McKlain]

Call me naive but isn't this that we all use called the world wide web? To me the "international" word sounds redundant. 

[Gryzor]

Well, then it wouldn't be as catchy... plus, it *is* bigger than the localised ones, ain't it?


@McKlain: It's teh interwebz anyway!

[AMSDOS]

There's a very good chance the world will know what your talking about if you use a word like "Micro$loth", isn't there? 

[AMSDOS]

I cannot quite recall, though I thought before the Forum Upgrade when you signed in (at the top) it would take you straight back to where you were previously? So if you were replying to something, it would take you straight back to that reply box, or if you were in a certain section it would take you back to that. Now when you sign in it reverts back to main forum screen which is a little annoying. True I am somewhat impatient to quibble over minor details, unfortunately that's just in my nature!

In regards of usability that should be the standard behavoiur, staying in the page that you were before login in.

[Gryzor]

Hmmm if it is so it means they changed it in the forum code. Can anyone else confirm this?
