DavidV Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 The forum will be going down shortly for a major upgrade. Please hold your posting until after 3AM (central) ( I don't care if you do post, but any in progress during the update will be lost.) Edit: since there's a dozen people still posting, I will wait until 1AM for the update. Once the board comes back, please submit any bugs or problems you find here.

Bowzer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Thanks for the update! I'm really enjoying the enhancements. I am, however, noticing lots of missing images. Some buttons are unskinned, avatar photos are missing (this may be something on their end), and emoticons come up missing. If you need more information, let me know. I have a background in software testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_speicher Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Thanks for the update! I'm really enjoying the enhancements. What are the enhancements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowzer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 What are the enhancements? The one that I will like the most is the snapback that gets inserted when you quote now. Click on the little arrow in the bottom right of the above quote and you will be redirected to the original post. I also like the fact that quote headers are included in the quote body. O, and the nice graphic quotation marks in the quote header makes quotes easier to spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the little arrow in the bottom right of the above quote and you will be redirected to the original post. Oh, I wondered what was that "snapback" code that started to appear at the end of the posts. Thanks for enlightening me! I also like the fact that quote headers are included in the quote body. O, and the nice graphic quotation marks in the quote header makes quotes easier to spot. I do not know whether it is related to not having the old skin I used, but I do not like the looks of the quoted text at all. The old one always stood out very clearly within a post, while the new sort of blends in. I wasn't even sure what those quote marks meant; I first interpreted them as a stylized 6699.

Bowzer Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Another thing I very much appreciate is that quoted text appears full size now. Even though I have fine vision, it's hard to read the smaller text when you run 1600 resolution like I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshRyan Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Ooh, I like this update! Now it actually keeps track of posts I haven't read, rather than just new posts since my last visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Ooh, I like this update! I share the sentiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Is anyone else having a problem where the board doesn't remember your login (even when you check the box)? It's happening to me both at work and at home, so I doubt it's a cookie issue... Might be an IE issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msb Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I fixed it. It looks like it's a good idea to delete the cookie to this forum after upgrading to service pack 2 on XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted September 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I have updated the forum again. Please clear your cache if the page layout looks off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_speicher Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 I have updated the forum again. One thing I noticed: On the upper left I used to click on the "ObjectivismOnline Reality, Reason, Rights" in order to get back to the forum listing page, but now it does nothing. So, after making a post I have to click on the "Objectivism Online" below the other and this takes me to main page, from which I then have to click again on "Forum." Can you reinstate the "ObjectivismOnline Reality, Reason, Rights" pointer to the forum? It was handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y_feldblum Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 There's a link "Objectivism Online Forum" right below those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_speicher Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 There's a link "Objectivism Online Forum" right below those two. Yes, thanks. Coincidentally, I just discovered that fact literally 10 seconds before I read your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 I've reverted the forum back to the original URL, though you can still access it at http://www.objectivistsr.us/ ..or http://objectivist.name/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
