Bug Reports and Suggestions for New Site

Postby Michael » Mon May 10, 2010 9:43 am

I think we have moved out of red alert and into orange, so we have started a new bug report thread. Still a lot of things to do but its manageable. So we collected the suggestions and info and flames from the site launch in the old report and have noted the suggestions there. Wouldn't do any of us any good to rehash the issues and flames we generated at launch. Communication has been received. You can post more here or pm me directly if you have something to say about what the site needs.
If you need a decent v-p-en, pm me for one that works well.

Sometimes the site doesn't work when using Witopia.
The Vatican is against surrogate mothers. Good thing they didn't have that rule when Jesus was born.

Still keep getting logged out?!!? Is there a time-out if you're not active on the page? Had trouble uploading an avatar, and finally got it right, but the size is just weird. Also, what is a "KiB"? I take it that should be KB?

Hi badger02,

This would be because 3 letter words do not get indexed as this would flood the indexes with too common words such as 'the', 'all', etc... Even when we would exclude certain words this list would still become very large. I'll take a look as to what we can do about that.


Kind Regards,

B.
The final trial, please make this work...

How do I delete a post?

I know you guys are using the pre-designed script and it's not too bad as forums go, but I do wish someone had user-tested it because it's not intuitive one bit. (explains the extensive, yet incomplete FAQs)

Cheers!

Was it me or is there a problem with the Private Message outbox? I tried to reply to some PM but the messages remain in the outbox without sending out. My PM to Michael is the same... Any idea??

The message stays in the outbox until the recipient reads it, after that, the messgae will appear in the "sent messages" box.

I think in the past whenever I clicked on the username it would bring me to their public info page. But now, whenever I do it, it will only insert "[.b]username[/b.]" (without the .) in the quick reply window. Is this normal?

The recent forum posts listed on the home page and the dedicated page are no longer updating on a regular basis. At the time of writing this, 15:50, the most recent posts listed are from 14:46, although many posts have been made in the last hour. I noticed this slow updating started yesterday.

Also, if I log in on the right of the home page, I'm often not logged in on the forum pages and if I log in on both, I have to log out on both. When logged in on the home page, if I post in response to a featured story, my signature is the one added to my profile through the right margin user information links, and in the forums, my signature is the one entered on my control panel. It seems to me that there are two separate accounts running for different parts of the site.

It was either inappropriate or against the TOS. If you want a reason, find the moderator and ask. I have deleted many of your posts for many reasons. All told, they deserved to be deleted. Please feel free to PM with specific questions.
Lets not forget the man who started this, he will forever live on in our daily interactions on ShanghaiExpat. Rest In Peace Michael!
