Bugs, Quirks, Questions

Are the old links not working? Like fotd's and tutorials I saved in my favorites...if I click on one, it takes me to the main page

Also, none of my previous blog posts seem to have been transferred to the new format.

Hi Janice!

Thank you for your work!

But there are still a few things:

I am using Firefox and the pages in the threads don't seem to use the full site if that makes any sense. There is a lot of space on the right side.

And the time doesn't work right here for us German girls!

We have GMT + 1:00 hour (Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris) here but it doesn't work for us on specktra at the moment.

Thanks for help!

Girls, if you are having issues with posts not appearing, etc etc -- try a HARD REFRESH. Hold down CONTROL and then hit REFRESH on your browser or press F5.

It seems the board is slow to do this automatically, so things are not appearing as quickly as they should.

My posts are showing up... then not...?

Also I can't delete messages in my INBOX, it's full and I don't want it to be.

I'm afraid that patience is going to be key with some of these issues. We're aware of the posts not showing immediately, timezones being wonky, and also the issue with members not being able to do certain actions like delete their PM's or save the information in their userCP. In fact, every item that you have brought up has been "ticketed" to be looked at.

The forum is now fixed width. Which means that it is set to a certain size. There is no longer an option to have this set differently as the forum is fully integrated with the rest of the site. I know this will be a difficult transition for some to make, but I appreciate the effort that it takes to adjust to the new site.

One more thing, if a INTERNAL link doesn't work it SHOULD be redirected. If it's NOT redirected you should be able to just add a /forum after http://specktra.net and it will work fine. We're working on making sure that ALL links are redirected to the new URL's.

We sure will just need a few days to get used to it.

I am soo happy that specktra is back!

Thank you so much!

The newer MAC smileys don't work right now.

Aw man. Bummed about the fixed width. Maybe I can write a GreaseMonkey script for FireFox to fix it. XD

Premium members - are you still seeing ads? This issue should be resolved now.

 

[purrtykitty]

Is there a 'New Posts' link like there was on the old forum? And the link you provided for FAQs is displaying a 'Not Found' error message for me.

The "New Posts" button, along with the FAQ's are located in the navigation area right underneath the 40k members join the forum today graphic. Right above the bar where it says "Greetings UserName" when you're logged in.

I see ads sometimes. I sound like the kid from The Sixth Sense! I guess it will all settle down eventually.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Hi Janice,

The dark grey area underneath the "40K members" and above "Greetings" is totally blank for me. There is no user menu at all

This wasn't an issue for me earlier today.

 

[vikitty]

I don't see any ads because I have AdBlock on FF which kills them... so I'm guessing that explains the empty square and rectangle? That makes a lot more sense and was why I was all "Why is the top all misaligned?"

That's because it's coded for ads, since you don't view ads that area will be blank from now on. Doh, wait - I just re read what you said. Will create a new ticket for you. Is it possible for you to share a screenshot of what you're seeing?

 

[Beauty Mark]

There are alignment issues for me as well. If you like, I can take some screen shots.

Are there themes to choose from or just one? I could not find an option to select a theme, but I wanted to make sure.
