SpursTalk - Under Construction

[Elraptor]

It's working fine for me, but anything posted in the technical forum will get looked at by the tech people.Yea i'll keep checking on it once in awhile. It's weird, the photos from the gallery work but not the custom avatars for some reason. Very weird, but i'm sure the Tech. Admins can look into it. :rolleyes

[Kori Ellis]

I just tried on two different accounts and the customs worked, maybe it's a permissions thing. I'll have them check.

[Elraptor]

I'll pm you screenshots. So you can see fully what i mean. And okay sounds good, thanks for help.

[Kori Ellis]

Is the image you are trying to upload as the avatar on your computer?
How big is the image?

[Elraptor]

Is the image you are trying to upload as the avatar on your computer?
How big is the image?Yes it's on my computer. And the size and KB is fine for sure, not to mention that's not the problem.

It doesn't even go that far on the loading page to say the file is to big or large, it doesn't load at all for some reason.

[Kori Ellis]

Yes it's on my computer. And the size and KB is fine for sure, not to mention that's not the problem.

It doesn't even go that far on the loading page to say the file is to big or large, it doesn't load at all for some reason.

The only time it doesn't load for me is if I try to upload like a wallpaper-sized image.

Send me the picture you are trying to upload to [email protected]. I want to try to upload the same pic.

The avatar i'm trying to put in moves, the forum sets and allows moving avatars right?

So for some reason, just that avatar does that...

EDIT: I tried another moving avatar and it also doesn't work

[Kori Ellis]

We have it set for no animated avatars right now. So that explains it.

[Elraptor]

We have it set for no animated avatars right now. So that explains it.Nope. I put in a different moving avatar and it works BUT it says no animated avatars allowed. There your right.

But for these two other ones, which i have so many, those two moving ones won't even load.

Sorry Kori to get into all this, just trying to help the clause. As martini was also having the same problem. :greedy

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

This thread is doing the thing again where there's a link to the next page but it doesn't exist yet.
Well by posting this comment, that problem is gone for now, but still something you guys might wanna look at.

We have it set to no animation for now. That setting actually allows some animation (something weird with vBulletin), which is why one of yours works.

Later I'll switch it to all animation is okay, but not right now.

Thanks for the help Kori. :hat

[Pistons < Spurs]

I'm assuming you're already aware of this ... but in case you're not, the quote box in the Pistons section has white lines around it due to having a different color background I presume.

[Pistons < Spurs]

:toastYou da man Slomo!!!

[BacktoBasics]

I pretty much avoid work and post on forums all day. This is hands down the nicest forum I go to. Nice work guys.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Don't know if it's been reported yet, but the hyperlink button is not working correctly.

It gives you an option to drop in the text for the link, but not the link itself. You only get the one prompt window.

[Spurminator]

When I quote a post, the code in the message box appears like: [QUOTE=Johnny_Blaze_47;2428651]

If I submit with this code, the quote box does not contain "Original Message Posted By:" It only works if you delete the numbers.

Sorry if this has already been posted or addressed.

It should work. It's working for me in all 3 browsers (IE, ff, opera). Can you please quote something so I can see how it looks.

Hmm, works now. Maybe I was mistaken. Sorry for the confusion.

Write the text you wnat to become the link

select the text

click on the hyperlink and type in the url


If you don't like this method you must edit your message editor options in your control panel.

[Spurminator]

I think I must have just hard-entered the [quote] tags on one of my replies and thought I had used the quote link.

[Slomo]

I think I must have just hard-entered the "quote" tags on one of my replies and thought I had used the quote link.

No problem :)

[Kori Ellis]

There is a bug with the quotes. It doesn't work when you quote a quote (as you can see in Slomo's post).

[SpursWoman]

If you don't like this method you must edit your message editor options in your control panel.


I used to be able to post the url of a picture in the reply box, highlite it, and then click the little image icon and it would add the tags ... now it doesn't do it...you have to either manually add the tags, or enter it in the script bar pop-up thingy. Is that an editor option?


eh ... I guess that one doesn't really matter one way or the other. It's just me being lazy, and good at losing copy & pastes. :oops :lol

That's how it's supposed to work (the old way). I'll ask them to look at it.

[timvp]

[G-Nob]

The quote bubbles look great. I also like the quick post reply format. Very cool and easier on the eyes!

Hey it's called progress! Get with the program!

:lol

Seriously though, you and Johnny_Blaze are right the new editor does it differently. I'll try to find the old one and see if we can add it to the current version so you oldtimers don't have to change your habits :p:

(you can include me in that oldtimer group too :D)

[SpursWoman]

It's not a big deal for me at all ... I just thought I was losing my mind. That's been happening more and more lately. :nerd

welcome to the club!

I know it's not a big deal, but if a solution exists, we'll try to add it to the current version.

[Allanon]

Thank you guys for my title above the Avatar!

Great job on the new site, I especially like the new quote boxes.

[timvp]

For people trying to use the chat room:

Make sure you are at http://www.spurstalk.com and not just http://spurstalk.com. You won't be able to get in without the www.

This will eventually be fixed but not for tonight.

[Elraptor]

I never got a few chance to say it but i saw a few others say it. Good job on the new quoiting background, looks really good.

And i've seen alot of stuff update and change lately, good job guys. :D

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I noticed there is a new feature where you can change your thread title when viewing it in the forum rather than going to the thread and going advanced to edit the name, but how do you get it exactly to work? I double click on the name and it opens for editing, but by the time I can fix it, I'm directed to the thread. How do you do it?

[SpursWoman]

The mobile navigation is really cool, btw....it loads super-fast on my Centro. :)

[Slomo]

Psssst, it's a secret :lol

Seriously I've been working on it since yesterday and switched it on for testing purposes like 5 minutes ago.

:lol

[SpursWoman]

Sorry...but it worked great for me? :lol

[Slomo]

Since the cat is out of the bag, here's the anouncement:

If you connect to ST.com through a mobile device, it will detect this and override the style/skin settings and display the forum in a very basic, mobile device friendly way. The url is the same as on your computer: http://www.spurstalk.com

It should work with most devices, if it doesn't with yours, then PM me and I'll see if we can add your device to the detect list.

Only bad side to this is that for the mobile skin to work it has to be user selectable, so you can see it in the drop down menu at the bottom left of every ST.com page. Don't click on it while using your computer, since it does not look good, and you might have problems getting to the default style (well I added a link at the top to help those of you who just can't help themselves).

All constructive criticisms are welcome (emphasis on constructive!).

[manustarting2gd]

Great updates Slomo! I regularly view the forum on my tmobile mda which views full web pages without issue. Unfortunately, with this new change I cannot switch the view back to regular view even when clicking the switch back to default style button.. Please help as I am on my mobile device and have the ability to view full pages etc.. and am missing out on sigs, etc now.. please tell me I can switch it back even with the auto detect on? Help a brah out Slomo!

You need to tell me which device you are using and I'll add it to the exception list. In that case it will not be recognized as a mobile device anymore.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'm assuming the punishment for misspelling #32's last name is part of the new stuff. Nice touch.

[Spurminator]

Looks great!

[manustarting2gd]

Works like a charm Slomo! Thank you for your tech brilliance! Much appreciated!

[Elraptor]

I love that banner. I really do. :D

[sabar]

I'm glad you can select the mobile skin, you can make st load real fast for like my laptop without having to disable images on the browser.

[blackbucket]

Looks good. However how do we get it to go back? I do not need the mobile version on my iPhone and much prefer the default. Clicking the default link does not do anything. Your help is much appreciated!

[Slomo]

Well the idea is to make it load faster when you're not on a WiFi or home network (just using GPRS packet data or in the case of the iPhone EDGE).

I can put the iphone in the exception list, but then it will not recognize it as a mobile device anymore and will display the forum using the "normal" skins.

Is that what you and other iphone users want?

[hsxvvd]

I'm a school teacher and some of the signatures you guys have make it tough for me to be on Spurstalk during classes.

Is there a way I can turn off the sigs or view threads without signatures?

Go to your Control Panel, then "Edit Options." Scroll down to "Visible Post Elements" and you can turn off signatures, avatars or all images.

my vote would be Yes! It loads pretty quickly as it is on edge and i'd rather get the full experience.

I am fine with what the majority of iPhone users prefer.

[bdictjames]

Slomo = genius

Hope to see the Spurs eliminate the Suns!!! Again

OK let's try that :)

I can always change it back later.

I've put iPhone in the exception list, if it's still redirecting you to the mobile skin - tell me.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I said it before ... but I feel it needs to be said again.

Great fucking job to everyone involved on the upgrades.

It's ridiculous how smooth this site has been running during all these playoff games. No hiccups or speed bumps at all. Almost 1500 users online and you can't even tell.

[DieMrBond]

Not sure if this has been reported, or if this is even the right place, but i am using IE7, and the scrollbar signatures are no longer working properly - the scroll bar appears, but the signature isnt actually hidden - it shows and overlaps the following posts...

I'll disable the scrollbar sigs for now.

Too bad peeps just can't control their sig size :rolleyes

[DieMrBond]

No worries, thought i'd let you know just in case it was just me. Keep up the good work! :)

[boutons_]

in the "advanced" reply entry window, the HTML codes are displayed. Advanced has regressed.

[Slomo]

It's an individual setting.

Go to you control panel in the options menu scroll to the bottom and in the editor style chose the WYSIWYG editor.

It's weird because when you first made the mobile forums available, my phone (iPhone) detected it, but now it goes back to the regular forums.

oops! didn't see this post. I liked it better mobile...didn't you have the choice to show the regular way if you wanted or am I just imagining that?

ETA--another vote for mobile is that I don't always log in when using my phone and then have to scroll through all the signatures, which I have turned off when I am logged in.

[Ginofan]

Is it just me or is there a page 13 on this thread? On my screen it says there is but when I try to click on it it just keeps bringing up page 12...

Edit: Well nevermind I guess...my post showed up first on page 13. Weird!

[Borosai]

Yeah, that's on the to-do list to fix. I'll disable the scrollbar sigs for now.

Too bad peeps just can't control their sig size :rolleyes

At this point, a hard limit would be better (400 vertical pixels seems like a good limit). There's really no need for long ass sigs (and I like sigs).

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

I guess the sig scrollbar didn't work out.

[Mulletino]

I ran spyware software because I thought I was being redirected from the Spurs Report

[Kori Ellis]

I guess the sig scrollbar didn't work out.

We turned it off while we are working on it.
