New Site - Bug List

[Leon]

Thanks to everyone for bearing with us in the transition to the new software. Please use this thread to report any bugs you find. Also, most of the features are set on default, so if you're missing any features, let me know and I'll turn them on.

Bug List:

On the root page of the forums, I'm seeing the following at the top of the page:
'); var sidebar_align = 'right'; var content_container_margin = parseInt('290px'); var sidebar_width = parseInt('270px'); //-->

FIXED

mcs328:
I would make a special case for the 4 marks in the Political forum just because sometimes things get heated and polarizing. There might be a knee jerk reaction to mark someone from opposing political views especially in an election year. Just something to keep in mind. Maybe a minimum number of post counts or rank to mark someone as a spammer to avoid one guy with 4 accounts banning a longtime member.

Leon:

Facebook Connect not working.

Leon:
Share to Facebook in both main deal page and single deal view not sharing the correct content. (twitter works though)

Not a bug really but on the Deals page. When you scroll through the merchants, the arrow is on the right side of the merchant name and it's pointing away. Shouldn't it point toward the merchant name. Cosmetic s***estion.

Oh and my post counts should be *ahem* higher than DF.

? What's wrong with s u g g estion?

[attgig]

maybe because someone thinks the boots are that ugly??

just u g g is ***

Wow weird. I'm not seeing that at all. Which browser are you using? Does anyone else see it?

Yeah, the whole 'arrow pointing away' thing seems to be a vBulletin thing. It's pretty much everywhere.

We all strive to be as prolific as DF...

There is a reason why U G G is banned. When we were on the old vBulletin software, spam protection was pretty much nonexistent, so we were getting hit by a ton of spam bots. The U G G boots spambot was particularly horrible, so I just got fed up and just banned the word altogether. The new site uses reCAPTCHA for new user registrations, so it should filter out a lot of the less sophisticated bots.

Another thing I love about the new system is the ability for users to give other users infractions. If 4 users mark another user as a spammer, the spammer is automatically banned.

Not a bug, but I kind of miss Coins as the favicon.

Ok, I'm stumped, how do I create a news page? I read the FAQ, but I'm not seeing a create an article thing anywhere.

I sent you an email, LPM, but I think the server switch glitched the email. Let me resend it.

Good call. Now, users who have been here for 180 days and have over 1,000 posts can give infractions. Hopefully I set it up correctly!

Personal rant: the front end of this new software looks modern, but the backend admin is as archaic as it was 10 years ago.

Please test the infractions function on this user.

Hey I'm a spammer! Buy all my UGG boots! Woot!

ban him!!!!

Hey Leon, how does one go about giving the spam infraction?

[Leon]

Can you guys see this icon?



If not, it might be because I need to update the counters. It'll have to wait till later tonight since that process is pretty server intensive.

[Markel]

Can you guys see this icon?

Nope - not there

[Napoleon54]

This is what I see. Opera v.11.61 FWIW

[Leon]

Okay, how about now?

[Napoleon54]

Got it. Opera 11.61, Firefox 5.01, IE 8... all displaying it. Woo hoo!

[mcs328]

Shenanigans!!! Leon doesn't have an infraction icon for his postings!! So It looks like I have to give a reason for the infraction too. So is it 4 in one category within 10 days or 4 total in any category in 10 days? How does the Warning checkbox weigh in on this?

This is pretty new to me. I *THINK* this is how it works:

• The warning is just that.. a warning. It doesn't assign the offender any infractions.
• The 10 day thing means that the infractions expires in 10 days if they shape up.

However, I'm not 100% sure how it works. That's why I created "GA_Punching_Bag" for you guys to test it on.

EDIT: I disabled the Infraction Message Requirement. You no longer have to give a reason.

[Leon]

I just enabled another feature: User Reputation

This would be a nice contrast to the infractions. With the user reputation function, you can approve or disapprove a user's post. It's the star icon next to the infractions icon.

I'm trying to do a search for posts by my username and I can't seem to get any results. I know I posted in the political forum before the cutoff and I don't even see those posts.

By the way, nice upgrade guys!

I'm guessing it has to do with the counters. I was unable to update them - I'll try to get to them tonight when there's less traffic.

no sweat. Thanks Leon.

(And my kudos was genuine, not sarcastic )
