XenForo bug report thread

[Vulpes Abnocto]

I'm going to lock this topic.
I've already noted everything that was reported here, but it's too hard to keep track of everything if it's all in the same topic.

From now when you find a bug, please post a new topic for it. Don't forget to use the "NEW" tag so we immediately see it's a bug report

------------------------


This thread is for reporting any bug or annoyance that you find
or to ask for help in post formatting while we all get used to XenForo.

We are quite aware that some of the old IPB bells and whistles are gone.
Some of them will be brought back later, and some will be gone forever.
We ask that you do not gripe about this. Nobody is precisely 'happy' about it.

While this forum software change was forced by an unpleasant occurrence,
it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Keep looking around, try out the features and options of XenForo, and we'll all learn the quirks of it together.

We're all having to un-learn and then re-learn what we knew before. It's tough on everybody...might even be tougher on old farts like me. (but I had a few days to practice before the forum was back up)
Did you get the PMs figured out?

Yes I did, thank you. I had like just figured it out when I got the notification of your first response.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Excellent. If you need a nudge in the right direction, feel free to message me any time.
If I don't have an answer, I'll find someone who does.

some codes from old engine not work on the new engine, that is normal, so I dont know if it is really a bug, but take a look on this: http://gbatemp.net/threads/the-50-best-freeware-games.290310/
It is not hard to read information there, but it is a bit messed.

It happens on posts created with GBATemp v3 (v3+ could render them correctly by converting them on the fly).
XenForo converted only V3+ format.

I could fix it, but it's using v3 tags for picture preview from the old gallery. I don't know if the preview thumbnails are still availables.
I don't have time right now, but I'll do it in few hours if nobody else did it before me.


Edit:
I fixed the post's format.
I couldn't link to thumbnails (doesn't seems online anymore), so I put spoilers for screenshot instead.

 

[PsyBlade]

Some imported posts seem to be cut off.
From what I can tell from my posts they a cut off at "<" sings (as in 1 < 2).

My user name has been mysteriously shortened

"Smuffthemagicdra" is a bit weird looking.

Can I get it changed please ?

Thought I'd mention that before, the freezing issue was nearly none for me, but now, whenever I load the site, or multiple tabs of GBAtemp, Chrome locks up completely.

Not really a bug, but it is a nuisance. Sometimes I browse this forum on my netbook and with a 10.1 inch screen, things tend to crowd together, in this case the search bar covers the user panel up along the top where the Alerts and user name tabs are located on the right hand side.

Fairly urgent, IMO - Forum Rules are gone as far as I can tell. If not, they're something that don't even show up in top-page Google results.

I would have never guessed o.o

I think at some point a link to "Rules" in the top left of the navbar like it was on the previous forum would be a good idea (not that anyone who needs to look at it end up looking at it, anyway...)

 

[Castiel]

Can anyone else confirm that the first page of the Pokemon Hack Screening Thread is screwed up (i.e anything at the top of the page and anything past the first post)? It is for both my bro and I, and I'm pretty sure it's not just my internet.

 

[Cyan]

it's broken on my side too.

This post seems to have just a view issues... the HTML isn't working for me at all.

This happens on my Samsung Galaxy S3 as well, and can also be replicated by making the window narrow (I sometimes have a footy match playing in a window and use a smaller browser window)

Like so:

Also, is there a 'new posts' function like on the old board? That's pretty much the only way I used to browse the forum, so I'm finding I'm not really visiting as I can't be bothered to go through each forum of interest individually.

I get the same covering issue. It's apparently due to screen resolution. There is a "New Posts" option....actually there are two of them.
You'll find one at the top of this page.

Spoiler: wide image to show both the error and the "What's New" link

"What's New" (last link in the light blue bar) will show you all the newest threads. Once you're on the What's New page you have the option
"All Recent Messages" (on the right of the screen) which acts most like the old IPB "New Posts" option.
Yes, it's an extra click, so it's a slight annoyance. Expect that to change eventually.
But it works for now.

 

[DSGamer64]

Yeah even adjusting my window size does nothing to fix it. My computer is only at 1024x768 resolution.

 

[Sicklyboy]

BlueStar, Vulpes, yeah it does the same thing on my tablet and phone (Nexus 7/Galaxy Nexus, respectively). Quite annoying, but at least if you have a notification the balloon is also a clickable link, which ought to stick above the search box.

And here we go:



Edit - not to pick on the new guy, but you know, yeah...
