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.

I don't see a way to report a user for <insert reason here> reason, just a post.

Unless I am crazy and that option was never there.


You mean a report button on a user's profile page? Yeah we had one under IPB. In time we probably will again.
For now if you find the need to lodge such a report, PM it to one of the staff.

A rather strange bug.
I just got an alert saying someone quoted me in a thread I never posted in and it also led me to a post that didn't contain any quoted posts from me.

I also had a couple of phantom alerts yesterday- the icon popped up but there was nothing there when I clicked on it.

I "Sometimes" get the option to unblock someones ignored content. Othertimes it just shows the thread without any of the ignored posters posts leaving it very hard to decipher what is going on.

Quote box is overextended regardless of the horizontal length of the browser, across multiple browsers, and across both themes.

It's been evident throughout all the other news posts with quotes, but none of them have been right next to the featured picture so it is hard to notice.

It is no great problem but at the end of every thread (I have yet to check properly around forums, the wiki and whatever else) I have as much space again that is completely blank (the dark blue of the background in this case). Should I have time later I will try my hand at investigating it a bit.

Figured out what it was (probably should have checked properly on the day) that was causing the massive borders.
-the little upload swf thing ( http://gbatemp.net/js/swfupload/Flash/swfupload.swf ) which formerly hovered around the post reply button (made changing the size of the reply box annoying on occasion) now sites at the bottom right of the page. Noscript blocked it and the little click to activate thing sits there which ends up doing that.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
