New Forum Issues

[Danhockey04]

Ok, I have been experiencing this problem, I don't know about any of you, but when ever I go to the Off-topic forum, not being logged in and do it from the slide down bar at the bottom. I log in and then it tells me it goes to a forum that does not exist, I'm sure it's just being directed to a forum that doesn't exist, I'd just like to throw that out there...

[RagingBullFan]

I changed the link color back to the traditional red.

Dan, I also just changed permissions so that Off-Topic can be read as a guest, that might fix the issue.

[RagingBullFan]

Yeah, all I see is white boxes with black writing in them. Is the forums suppose to be like that Kyle? Thanks!

Either upload screenshots to the gallery, or e-mail them to me RagingBullFan at gmail.com

I don't have access to any computer with IE 6, so I'm not sure what parts of the CSS are getting screwed up.

I know there are ways to try to fix the code to work with IE 6, but not having IE 6 makes it hard to work on.

IE 7 is a free update via Windows Update, for those that can't find it.

[Coasternut17]

I had the exact same issue...until I got IE7! Now it works just fine! Great job with the site (now that I get to see it ).

^If you guys can't find Internet Explorer 7, just do a google search. It's the first thing if you look up "IE7". Trust me; it works!

looks like some people need to download firefox

I can see it all fine

Links and emoticons in sigs aren't working again.

Why did I get this message?

[RagingBullFan]

I'm currently installing a modification right now, so every now and then I screw up

[Trailblazer Tony]

this may seem really petty, but with the "save" button having the bolded outline, I keep accidently deleting my posts, the Submit button should really be bolded instead....but yeah, great job guys on the new look!!! I'm really starting to like it a lot!

We have added a bunch of new profile fields.

They include:
-Top 5 Favorite Coasters
-Favorite SFGAm Coaster
-Favorite SFGAm Flat Ride
-Favorite Steel Coaster
-Favorite Wood Coaster
-How many coaster you have been on
-You can also type out a track record.

If anybody else has anymore suggestions for profile fields let us know.

You can edit all the new profile fields by clicking on the User Control Panel link at the top of the page and going to the profile tab.

[DejaVuGurl1203]

That is awesome, neat idea.

[RagingBullFan]

Chat is back!

Click the link up in the Nav Bar.

At this time sorry, no list of who/how many people are in chat.

Links and emoticons in sigs aren't working again.

EDIT due to next post: Ah, ok I didn't see that.

Noticed an issue today with the "First Unread Post" link.

It works great if there is more then one page of topics for a given thread. However, if there is only one page, and you click on the link, it will take you back to the main board index page, instead of taking you down to the last post that you read in the thread.

[RagingBullFan]

Is this on the main forum page or the listing of topics in the forum?

I can't seem to be able to reproduce this.

[BrianPlencner]

^ I just did it again, so let me try to explain what I did....

I noticed that there were new posts in the Headline News section. So, when I click on that from the main forum index, I see that the new post is in the Indiana Beach 2008 Off-Season Construction Update! thread. I then click the link to view the first post of that thread. On the left, I see the "First Unread Posts" link. Clicking on that takes me back to the main forum index. The Indiana Beach 2008 thread only has one page of posts.

However, if a thread has multiple pages (Example, The official "What's for dinner" thread in the Off-Topic Forum), clicking on the same link takes me to the post made by Dmrbug on Tue Apr 15, 2008 9:13 pm on page 7.

Hope that helps,

[RagingBullFan]

Ah OK yes, I see that now.

I will have to look into it, it might be a issue with the phpBB SEO optimization mod that I installed.

[RagingBullFan]

I believe I have fixed the problem.

If you have more issues let me know.

[Carlo]

I noticed that when you click on links that people post on the boards, it does not open up in a new window. I believe it did that before the upgrade and makes life easier.

[BrianPlencner]

The issue with the "First Unread post" link has been fixed!

Thanks!

Ok, I have a problem. I can't get a pic though. Anyway here it goes. I go to the forum and I see some topics off to the bottom and not in the white area. However there are some topics in the white area, but I can't see what they are, but can click on them.

[bigb7965]

^ what browser are you using?

[cycamps]

^^I know what you're talking about. It could be because you're using a really off browser (like the Playstation 3 browser), or you have a slow internet connection. I've tried loading the site on a dial-up connection before, and it's happened to me once, as well as when trying to use a PS3.

[Cheatmaster8]

I'm using Internet Explorer.
