Old Master Bug List.

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Text overflow on main page - The "EN World 2 Has Arrived" box is sized to fit the picture, rather than the text. The other boxes are sized that way too, but that one is most noticeable.

Currently using Firefox 3.0, no special font size configurations, on XP professional.

I'm getting this same error on Firefox 2, with the added wrinkle that the links to read the rest of the article are unclickable as a result, and there doesn't appear to be an alternate route to get to them other than the RSS feed.

ENW1 had a 'tab icon' for want of a technical term (hey I may fix PCs, set up networks and overclock the living crap out of my rig but I know zip about web design!) ENW2 doesn't seem to have one. Or at least FF3 doesn't pick it up.

I'll cook one up shortly.

Style wart in IE6: some of the text in the drop-down menus at the top of each page is black-on-black, making it impossible to read.

Fixed.

I need to left-right scroll at 1024x768 screen resolution in FF3

I can't replicate this by setting my browser to 1024x768 mode. I can get it down to 1000 pixels before left-right scrolling occurs.

The link for thread subscriptions gets a 404 message. The one for this thread, for example, pointed to http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=205701&goto=newpost

Also, the from name for the email says "- Morrus' 4th Edition D&D / d20 News and Reviews Site" and doesn't mention EN World

This should be corrected now. Earlier I had forgot to tell vbulletin where it was now.

I periodically and randomly get a "Closed for maintenance" notice in the main forum index. No matter how much I reload or force-reload the page, it won't go away; however, if I go straight to a bookmarked thread and then click the "ENWorld - Morrus' 4th Edition D&D / d20 News and Reviews Site" link at the top of the screen, it brings up the forum index with no trouble.


EDIT: Nevermind, I think this is just the result of a bad bookmark (enworld.org/forums/index.php rather than /forum/index.php)

All the same enworld.org should 301 redirect to www.enworld.org. I'll check the httpd.conf.

I'm using Opera 9.5 on Win XP SP 2, and I do have custom minimum font sizes ...

Not my problem. If you use local settings to override the settings I provide I cannot undo them for you. This is like buying a car, changing the interior color at a customization shop, then complaining about the color to the manufacturer.

I got a 404 error popup upon visiting the front page for the first time since the upgrade... running IE7.

http://www.enworld.org/forums.php doesn't exist anymore, so that 404 isn't a mistake. I have a bookmark pointing to it too that I needed to change.

Text overflow on main page - The "EN World 2 Has Arrived" box is sized to fit the picture, rather than the text. The other boxes are sized that way too, but that one is most noticeable.

Also, could you make the forum's pages a tiny bit narrower... it's incredibly irritating to have a horizontal scroll bar for no good reason. It might be the link bar at the top that's doing it, but...

The pages are designed for a minimum horizontal resolution of 1000 px. There will be other skins designed for other resolutions later on.

I've pointed this out twice now (once when it was in beta) and nothing's happened. I wouldn't hold your breath

There are 3000 users and one tech admin. Be patient, or at least quiet, cause the last thing I need right now is snipes at my nerves. I'm between jobs and I'm using time I honestly desperately should be using looking for a job to do this work, so cut the attitude.

There shouldn't be an rss feed for the articles - I haven't written an rss feed bot for them. Hmm.. Perhaps vbulletin is pitching in it's rss feed since it is providing the header.

There seems to be a problem with the front page of the site. All of the text is overflowing the boxes.

And for some reason, I can't find the news and updates and such. And the recent forum links seem to be missing as well. I hope you can soon restore this very important functionality. Being able to get all of the news at a glance was by far and away the most important and, quite frankly, fantastic part of this site, and I hope to see it return.

I've set the favicon.ico file, but it doesn't seem to want to take.

There, got it, at least in Firefox 3.

 

[Thornir Alekeg]

Also noticing the text overflow issue on the main page. I'm running Safari v3.1.1 on a Mac at 1024 x 768 resolution. What was odd was that I did not notice that problem this morning when I checked out the site, but it was obvious this evening (maybe I was still asleep this morning and missed it).

Left/right scroll issue is there, but I don't care since it doesn't cut off any text.

CTRL + Mouse Wheel. Adjust your font sizes down. There's little I can do about local settings and overrides.

I was just hoping for a miracle. Thanks though, and once again, place is looking great.

That's the defualt text size, everyone will have that problem by default.

I'm also regularly getting a double post warning.

Working sweet now, like the new ICON...awesome

These splashy CS and Mod graphics are nice, but they don't play nice with the avatars....

 

[Michael Morris]

I'm resizing the ones outsize the range - your browser may have cached old copies that are to large but all avatars should be 64x64 now.

reply/edit post: black on black

Hi,
I'm typing this message in a black font on a black background.
I'm using firefox 2 on a windows xp sp 2 machine.
I don't get this when using quick reply but I do get it when adding a reply or editing a post.

 

[Michael Morris]

Firefox 2 is deprecated. Use Firefox 3. With the lone exception of Internet Explorer 6 I do not support browsers once they are superceded by newer versions. I have too many browsers to check against as is - sorry.

 

[Thanee]

You likely see that yourself, but just in case... the area containing the user information left of every post is not wide enough to support the fancy EN-avatars, which results in some areas being wider and some being narrower, which does not look good.

Bye
Thanee

Patient? Man, I first reported it back on the 20th of March (here) - if 3 months isn't patient I don't know what is. If you can't hack the comments, don't ask for them.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Quick Reply isn't working for me, nor is the smilies table in the "Reply to Thread" window. IE7, but those features were working last night.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

And when I tried to edit the post above to say that "New Reply" was working, I couldn't save the edit window that opened. Or cancel. Or Go Advanced. I had to back out and create a new reply.

 

[Greylock]

Whenever I back out of a thread, I end up at the top of the forum. When I back out of a sub-forum, I end up at the top of the main forum. Rather annoying, having to scroll all the danged time. At other forums, this is a setting on the users end, but I don't see such a setting in my profile. Am I dumb and it's there, or is this a feature?

 

[Darkness]

Signatures are being displayed in every post. (Even though 'Show User Signatures More Than Once per Page' isn't turned on.) I'm using Firefox 3, if it matters.

 

[Xath]

Bugs (I'm using IE7)

Quick Reply doesn't work.

The Tools above the new reply box (bold, italics, left indent, hyperlink, etc) don't work. However, manually typing the code into the box still works.

Goodbye. (I have an ignore list too, and behavior such as that guarantees any and all of your concerns will be ignored).
