New site feedback 01/04/09+

[Dave]

Only niggle I've got it that when I close the window down it logs me out - doesn't give you an option to stay logged in?

Other than that problems ar the same as had been mentioned before. Gotta say though - why press a button to quick reply? Surely you might as well just click 'Post reply' if you need to click a button?

One request - can we have personalised medals or personalised descriptions (i.e. 'Squatter' instead of 'Senior member') - or both?

I assume the articles page is not finished

Quick reply is fixed / back to how it was. There are 90 other settings that need changing though which would probably be easier if it could be imported from the old db, I've PM'ed you about it Ian.

Also I've just noticed that the PM folders are missing, seems to be the 'usertextfields' table that they were stored in on the old db if that helps Ian?

not totally sure but tagging when you submit a new thread might have a bug .. tried to tag with the words 'existing monthly and bet365' and when i hit submit i got

pressed the back arrow (the tag bits had gone on that page now) and hit submit and it worked straight away - didnt want to make a new thread just to test sorry



*editing and hitting delete to take out huge spaces from posts also seems to be a it tempermental ... though that could just be my computer

[GlobalSquare]

ignore the above ... just submitted a new one ... might have missed a comma out when submitting the first as tags now appear to be working

[dulence]

After sending a PM, it doesn't appear in the "Sent" folder. Not sure whether the message is actually sent.

I broke the server for about 4 seconds, so you must have managed to submit it in that gap []

What is with the Medals!

The medals are because everyone automatically has the rank 'poster of month / week' after the forum was migrated. I think it's because the new usergroup numeric IDs don't match the old usergroup IDs and they are used to work out which usergroups get which ranks (ie anyone in the post of month usergroup is automatically given post of month rank, which comes with a medal)... but because the old usergroup IDs don't exist any more, the rankings just default to all users and everyone gets medals.

Anything that relies on the usergroup IDs might be squiffy (one of them being the ranking system). I PM'ed you about it Ian but I'm sure you're very busy, I will just fix this medals thing manually for now by changing the ranks by hand (UPDATE: just done this, medals should be only for dirty football comp winners and post of month winners now) (although it would be better to have all the new usergroup IDs match the old IDs maybe, don't know if anything else relies on usergroup IDs, probably lots of things ).

not totally sure but tagging when you submit a new thread might have a bug ..

All the old tags are gone at the moment, so I won't be tagging anything until the backup is restored (which might be a little more complicated than I thought it might be at first), don't bother tagging anything until further notice really, they might get overwritten when the old tags are restored.

After sending a PM, it doesn't appear in the "Sent" folder. Not sure whether the message is actually sent.

Yes, all the old folders I had set up are all gone as well, think this is something to do with the 'userfield' table in the db Ian, that seems to be where all my old folder names were stored on the old db (PITA though because all the old user ids have changed).
