Forum Upgrade at 6pm Eastern

[drb1200]

I see a zero, but no up or down buttons.  Is anyone else having this problem?

Me.

[The Schaef]

Try it now.

[drb1200]

Try it now.

I see the plus sign but when I push it nothing happens.

plus one'd.  Wait....

[The Schaef]

Also fixed.  Database error, the price paid for retaining all our old pluses.

[SomeKittens]

It works!  Also: ETA to minus?

[The Schaef]

I disabled minus.  I'll consider reinstating it but I never really felt it was something the forums should have had in the first place.

[SomeKittens]

Hmm.  I would support it, however, you're the one in charge.  I'd like to have one because I can express disapproval of a post easily.

[The Schaef]

You can express disapproval of a post by reporting it.  If it's not something that warrants the intervention of a moderator, then the only thing that minusing it will do is tear the poster down for an otherwise valid post.

[SomeKittens]

If a post qualifies for reporting, I report it.  It's not often that this happens.  When a post falls into the continuum better than reporting, but isn't useful, that's when -1 has a point for me.  If a post is spammy, disrespectful, or otherwise useless, I'll -1 one it.

NEW UPDATES

Coinciding with the beta launch of the new Google+, users may now find a Google Plus icon on the FIRST post of a topic.  I don't see a point right away in allowing users to G+ any post on any thread, but this might be a good way to hotlink threads as a whole.

Also, mobile users with Tapatalk may now find that the boards can run natively on their iPhone, Android or Crackberry.

[The Schaef]

Sorry, forgot to uncheck the "idiot" button.

Was wondering why no one posted for eight hours...

We have an idiot button!?!

YES!  Very much like.

Also: using the quote seems to mess with they system.  And we still don't have "next" and "back" buttons next to the page numbers.

And when you post something long (a card description from the REG, for example; or a long sentence like this one), it doesn't automatically fit it into a line, it just keeps going off the side. In fact, it is doing this as I type. If you get too far away, you actually lose everything except the text box.

It's super annoying that everytime I try to view a new page of the boards I get a pop up about tapatalk and the page stops loading. every single new page.

I'm not sure whether you mean in a regular browser or in Tapatalk, but I have not experienced that problem in either format.

I have never seen that happen on any forum I've visited that uses Tapatalk, beyond the very first time I visited the site.  I even just now cleared my cache and history from my phone, restarted my browser and went to the Cactus page and it still did not give me the popup any more.

I am using IE and it is happening to me. It is very annoying (like me!).

[lp670sv]

Happens in Chrome too. some of the posts have scroll bars so you can read the whole thing, some don't. Probably a chrome bug. To the guy using IE still lolwhy??

[The Warrior]

I am using IE

I think i found the problem!

I'm using IE as well (it's the only default browser on my work computer and I can't install anything else on this computer) but I have experienced no such problems.

I did see the tapatalk ad come up on my android though...anyone willing to explain what it is, and if it's worth the $3 to download it?

[Lamborghini_diablo]

My text bar when posting is like, hyper stretched out to the right now.... kinda annoying when quoting big amounts of text.

I use Chrome if it helps.

Same problem here, under Chrome.  Thanks for fixing the quote boxes so I could actually read them.

What did that most recent update do? I don't see anything different...
