justsomeguy 1,135 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 IPB has updated the forum software to the current version, which obviously adds a number of new features (such as ajax support). This is partly in response to the recent down time at the end of last month. If anyone has questions regarding the updates please ask your questions here in the General forum, or on the Invision Power support forums. edit: this is a rather inauspicious 20,000th post for me 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skaterdav85 12 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 love the new look and usability of the forums! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,032 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Now we just need to get a W3Schools logo back in place... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ApocalypeX 3 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I really like the new look. It's fresh, sleek and clean. Plus the new features are bountiful. I'm guessing we can use this as a "What does this button do?" thread. @ApocalypeX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trinistorm 18 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) Welcome to 2011 W3Schools!!! This is awesome. A few bugs I see; the html entity is showing up for the '&' in my location. Edited September 7, 2011 by sansana Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I added a quick and dirty logo. A graphic designer I am not, but it should do until an official replacement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fmdpa 9 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I love the update! The features and the UI are fabulous! One question: When I try to "Like" a post, it says I've reached my quota of likes for the day even though I haven't liked anything else. Is that feature entirely disabled?

justsomeguy 1,135 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I don't see any settings specifically for that, it might change tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowMage 94 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wow.... Haven't had much of a chance to look at all the new features yet, but I'm liking the new look. Although, I liked the more compact feel of the older version... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DizzyDan 10 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I had to exit out and come back in because I thought clicked the wrong favorite link. Looks fantastic, was wondering what was with the down time, I was stressing out that i might never get HTML help here again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShadowMage 94 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) I had to exit out and come back in because I thought clicked the wrong favorite link. I thought the same thing! On a side note, it looks like the new version has/had a bug with code tags. It seems to have converted several characters into their HTML entities like '[]() and probably others, but those are the ones I noticed. It seems like this only happened to previously existing posts as the issue doesn't appear with new posts. EDIT:Sweet! DD, I just got a popup as I was writing saying that a new post had been added. No more missed replies! Edited September 7, 2011 by ShadowMage Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,032 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think there's another problem with the new theme. I think Windows line breaks are being converted into two <br> elements in the code blocks: A sentence with one line break. I'll have to confirm it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thescientist 231 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wow.... Haven't had much of a chance to look at all the new features yet, but I'm liking the new look. Although, I liked the more compact feel of the older version... agreed, although I'm sure it will slowly start to sink in over the next few days. As soon as I logged in, first thought was... whoa. Then next thought was... where are the orange squares? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShadowMage 94 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) This is another sentencewith a line break Let's see what happens... ^_^EDIT: Well it appears that the issue (if it existed) has been fixed, Ingolme. Another thing, just a minor, personal preference. On the board index, there's a panel on the right side that shows recent topics, calendar events, and birthdays. I'd rather see active members instead of birthdays. Don't know if there's a way for me to change it (like a profile setting or something) or if that's something the mods can change or if that's just the way it is.

As soon as I logged in, first thought was... whoa. Then next thought was... where are the orange squares? Yeah, it took me a bit to find the "Go to first unread" button, too! Unfortunately, though, the update seems to have reset all my "read" and "unread" topics, because everything is "unread"... When I try to "Like" a post, it says I've reached my quota of likes for the day even though I haven't liked anything else.This still happens... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thescientist 231 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Yeah, it took me a bit to find the "Go to first unread" button, too! Unfortunately, though, the update seems to have reset all my "read" and "unread" topics, because everything is "unread"... yeah, I'm getting that too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thescientist 231 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 (edited) speaking of which, is there a legend for all the new icons? Like what's the difference between a star and a circle next to a post? edit: I miss having the forum "jumper" dropdown at the bottom of a page too, to quickly navigate to any other subform.

ShadowMage 94 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I think the star means you've posted in that thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,032 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I found the "like" button problem. You should now be able to give 15 "like" points a day (this is subject to change if the moderators decide to agree on a different value.) 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drycodez 4 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I kinda like the new look, but i alway get ERROR each time i wish to edit a post! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ingolme 1,032 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Does the error say anything specific? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
