Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 We have upgraded the forums to a new version. We still have a lot of things to iron out but you are welcome to use the forums. Please report bugs and errors in this thread!
Jay-qu Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 no bugs 2 report as yet - looks nice, good work;) hehe i have more rep power than Tormod
Southtown Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah, looks awesome. Change is good. Is everything assumed to be functional at the moment, besides the ads, quizzes, puzzle store, etc.?
infamous Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Everything is cool except when I use a quote in reply, I can't seem to delete portions of the last message. When I highlite parts of the message and then right click, I don't recieve a delete option. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, can anyone give me some advice on this problem?
Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 Everything is cool except when I use a quote in reply, I can't seem to delete portions of the last message. Just use the delete button. Works fine for me at least. :evil:
Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 Yeah, looks awesome. Change is good. Is everything assumed to be functional at the moment, besides the ads, quizzes, puzzle store, etc.? Everything is functional except some stuff I'm working on for the editorial team. The links section has been dropped. We will revamp our old link section here instead: http://www.hypography.com/links.cfm The quizzes will also now reside at http://www.hypography.com/quizfront.cfm The puzzle store will have to be rewritten because the forum software has changed dramatically. :evil: As for the ads, I'm trying to figure out how to hide them for sponsors so I hope to solve that...I hope you guys don't mind seeing them for a few days. There will be no popups at the forums although you will get them at hypography.com until I can read the sponsorship info there too. So far everything seems to be working as it should.

infamous Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Question; Will the top 15 posters be displayed as they were in the old format or have we done away with this feature?
Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 The top 15 posters will be back in one form or another - the old version is incompatible with the new forums.
Southtown Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Right-clicking highlighted text gives IE-boy over here a delete option, as long as it's in a text box. P.S. I love the way editing posts works now.
Southtown Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 And C1ay has two "H" bars side by side. Looks kinda silly. http://hypography.com/forums/astronomy-cosmology/4091-material-creation-2.html
Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 And C1ay has two "H" bars side by side. Looks kinda silly. http://hypography.com/forums/astronomy-cosmology/4091-material-creation-2.html Yup. Killean's working on it but needed a break after too much work. We'll get there eventually. But the C1ay is also a very special guy. :evil:
rockytriton Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Ok, clicking on the quick reply button isn't working for me. I have to click on the "quote" button instead. Also, I can't click on the emoticons for them to be inserted in the message. edit: Hey, I have more rep power than Tormod! I am the king! edit edit: by the way, what is rep power measured in? Watts??? :evil:
Tormod Posted November 26, 2005 Author Report Posted November 26, 2005 Quick reply works for me in Firefox.:eek: :eek: :evil: Emotikons too, apparently.
rockytriton Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 I have firefox too... just checked my version... wow, I still have the 1.0 preview release installed. I guess I should upgrade
pgrmdave Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Rep power is determined by a formula that includes the number of posts you have, the time you've been a member, and the amount of rep you have. However, Admins have a set amount of rep, because we don't have to 'spread it around' before we can give it to the same person.
IrishEyes Posted November 26, 2005 Report Posted November 26, 2005 Quick reply seems to work fine for me. I believe emoticons are also working. And Dave is spot on with the Rep Power comments. I did quite the extensive research project on it when we switched to the VB software, and Dark Mind did a few experiments over the summer. The Admin group has a static 25 Rep Power. We are able to give to the same person without spreading it around, and are not limited in the amount of Rep we can give each day. Rep Power is very important in that you actually have the ability to affect a member's standing. For instance, rep from Turtle will normally give you an extra green (now BLUE!) box. (thanks for that last one, Turtle :eek: ) And I like the new look. Very nice. Great job, as usual, Killean!! :eek: Edit: Editing is MUCH easier now!! What does the empty checkbox next to the 'rep' and 'report post' buttons do? When I click on the box, it highlights the whole post in pink, but what is the purpose of that? just curious...:evil:
