CVR4 V2: Reported issues/bugs following upgrade

[BraindG]

It would be nice for new threads to disappear once you've looked at them or posted on them until someone else post. Like it did before if that makes sense.

I should still do this..

Whats New - replaces "New Posts" on the old site - whats new will now pull new articles, events and threads - hence the name change.
Posts 24hr = shows everything in the last 24 hours.

Sorry about that. See what you meen

Under the T&C's, section 5 (User Prohibitations) there seems to be an unfinished sentence.....although maybe I am reading it wrong. Should there be further info on an extended ban or something for doing such a thing ?

It's this one:

"Members given posting bans found to be registering one or more new users or using other usernames (whether previously registered by them or registered by others) in order to post and/or reply."

[pitslayer]

Any members profile, when you go to the about me bit, the about me stuff is half way down the page.

2 points I want to raise and this is probably the best place for it.

1, Name requirement, some people like to keep their name private, I don't think it should be mandatory to supply a name, we use usernames because that is how we wish to be indentified, the choice of revealing our real name should be up to us, not a requirement, could see that putting some members off, I know if I was just joining up I wouldn't be too happy about putting my real name down, and it would just get a . or something else in the box.

2. Countdown timer on the rules page, how annoying, I noticed it at about 40 seconds, so went to another website I was browsing and waited for the countdown timer to finish, a countdown timer wont make people read the rules, it will make them navigate away from the page till the timer has ended, this is how I read the rules and agreements page
loads up
Scrolls down a bit
Notices how long the scroll down slide is on the side
Skip to bottom
See countdown timer
Navigate to another page and come back in a few minutes, none the wiser and click submit.

I can't say I really know of anyone who reads terms and conditions etc anymore, it is all the same, read one read them all tick the box be over and done with, if you fall foul of the rules on the board, someone will let you know, countdown timer pretty pointless and annoying feature imho


Of course that is all my opinion, just trying to offer something constructive

i just got a Notification about my membership needing renewal but it is not due to feb next year.
the duration of membership also states feb 2009 to feb 2011 which is 2 years.

just some points not really important but best to log them for future perusal.

Do you mean the yellow notification at the top of the forum?

[Davezj]

What do the different coloured envelopes mean at the side of the Thread titles.
Yellow go Blue when you read the post.
but the Rad ones don't change when you read them.
some Red ones are sticky threads some are not. are they commitee threads or something.

[BraindG]

Dont worry to much about those icons, ill be changing them shortly.

However,
Red ones are "Hot" threads.
Grey ones are read.
Orange is new

I do need to change it so that the thread title colour fades when you have read the thread.

Hope this helps a wee bit?

Yep, faded or non-bold titles is a big help, IMO.

Anyway, interesting little glitch I've spotted a couple of times (but not always) is when you hover over the Club VR-4 logo at the top left, the underlying image changes!

This occurrence was after I had done a search, and after a couple of minutes inadvertently hovered over the logo, and the image changed as per this screenshot:



Using Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3.

EDIT: It seems to be almost every time after doing a Posts 24H or What's New search

When I click on "New Reply" a little "refresh" type icon flashes up but nothing happens. Can only seem to reply using the "Quick Reply" box.

In multi-page threads, I see this in the pages navigation...

Excellent work guys, have spottedc an annoyance rather than a potential bug. Ont the old version you sig was included in the space under your post so that the combined right half of your posting was the same size as the user info block on the left. Now there's a huge gap between the bottom of your written text and the sig as it puts the sig under the bottom of the user info. Does that make sense? I tried to explain in a quick ASCII diagram but the forum stips out the white space and made it unreadable.

[BraindG]

Lee,

Yep aware of this one, i needs a rewrite of the postbit area to rectify - the signature starts where your profile info ends..

Thanks for heads up.

[BraindG]

I have updated the first thread with summary off issues.

You should be able to upload new ones, ican do this on a test account - I have however noticed that the default avatars are missing, we will look into this.

Thanks
