Thanks and good-luck with the exams then!
Iāve added Google Chrome (and Windows Vista as well) to the list of recognized browsers (systems).
Check if it is properly recognized in your new posts.
Working fine. Thanks!
LE: It works only for the Chronicles layout. It doesnāt work in SubSilver.
Hi,
Another (small?) request: would it be possible to implement āstrikethroughā functionality on this forum? I would have needed here for example, when I realized I reported the wrong bug.
Iāve seen most forums have it implemented in the ā¦ format, or as [strike]ā¦[/strike].
Iāve added it:
[s]stricken text[/s]
Is rendered as:
stricken text
Thanks for suggestion
Some issues regarding the SubSilver Board Style:
-
Strikethrough is not visible because itās white like the background (should have the same color as the text font).
-
The Google Chrome icon is not loaded correctly (on forum posts; we have it though in Statistics page).
-
Also the Windows Vista/7 icon is not correctly loaded in SubSilver.
-
On the homepage, we donāt see the English āVCMI Projectā¦ā title, but a text in Polish that says something else.
[size=75]And on a separate note, for some reason (I donāt know if itās only my PC or sth else), I have issues accessing the forum using the bookmark link (in all browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, Flock). Only by googling it I manage to get to the forum. And I also cannot use normal posting anymore, only Quick Reply. When I try normal PostReply or to access the forum from bookmarks, I get an error saying the webpage may be temporary down.
EDIT: Seems it was only my PC. A restart solved the problem. However, if somebody has some ideas what may have caused that, let me know if there another way to solve the problem next time (other than restart). :)[/size]
New small issue with the Statistics page of the forum:
Some lines are now displayed in Polish i/o English (in the Age Statistics & Genders sections). It must be quite recent as I remember seeing it still in English a few days ago.
Seems the issue in the Statistics page has been solved.
I found however an issue with the ratings in the Download section. I gave an 8 to a VCMI release, and the average rating for it went actually down, from 7.xx to 6.xx. I thought I may have chosen the wrong value by mistake, and I rated another one. But same problem: I gave rate above the current one, and still the new average value went down i/o going up. The good part of it, is that this means in reality the ratings for the VCMI releases must have been way higher, and not what we see now in there.
Maybe our forum thinks that VCMI doesnāt deserve for such a high rating :).
Could it be browser related? In Safari, the rating doesnāt work at all (I select the rating, I click āRate Fileā, but the rating is not updated).
EDIT: I see on this post that the Safari browser is not correctly identified, but itās shown as Mozilla. I was actually surprised to see there are still so many users of the old Mozilla in the Statistics page. Could it be that many of them are Safari users instead? It would make more sense, considering the fact that Safari is like the 4th browser out there.
I found another browser identified incorrectly - SRWare Iron. Itās build on the sourcecode of Chromium, with the difference that it removes all the automatic uploads to Google, which increases your privacy and makes it a bit faster (so they say, because Chrome already loads almost any page instantly, so I wouldnāt know how to test a potentially even faster browser :p).
So the forum should identify it with the Chromium icon, not Mozilla as you can see for this post.
@Tow: I know you added the Chromium icon for Chrome. Was it an easy change or not really? I wonder if itās something I could figure out myself how to fix, to spare you the time (though I doubt it can be done with moderator rights).
Itās not hard but requires FTP access and editing forum script files.
If you give me the icon, Iāll add it within a few days
Iāve attached the icons for Iron & Safari to this post (couple of both to choose from).
Regarding Iron, it could have been included as well at Chrome, as itās based on Chromium. I find it strange it was seen as Mozilla (which uses Gecko), i/o Chrome, or at least Konqueror, which are based on khtml. Perhaps the site doesnāt actually check the engine of a new browser in an attempt to place it, but just labels any unknown browser as Mozilla.
Maybe you can also check (if you have time), why the Vista & Chrome icons are not visible in the SubSilver layout (forum only, as we can see them in the Statistics page).
The Windows 7 icon also does not appear in the SubSilver layout (just the Firefox icon).
Best regards,
Steven.
Yes, itās actually the same with the one I mentioned as Vista above
I actually donāt know why I used Vista i/o Win7, as probably most forum users with that icon have Win7, not Vista (or that will be the case soon anyway). Vista was maybe the biggest flop in the history of Microsoft and thereās a good chance it will be forgotten even faster than WinMe was.
EDIT: Strange, now the Win7 & Chrome icons are not visible anymore in the Statistics page also for the Chronicles layoutā¦
Having received several complaints, Iāve finally changed colors of quote and code boxes. I hope theyāll be more readable and better composing with the rest of board theme.
Subsilver icons has been hopefully fixed.
However I hereby declare that SubSilver is deprecated. It takes time to make each update twice. SubSilver never was popular here and having two different themes may be troublesome for users too (eg. when using special colors in the post - text may be readable in one theme but illegible in the second one).
I use SubSilver very rarely. I guess only when my eyes need a change from the regular dark background. So now itās good to see the buttons are fixed (and also the icons). The issue with the text color is indeed a risk, but only if users go for a color edit. The only real (small) problem I noticed in regards to colors, is that strikethrough line is coded to be white, which makes it not visible in SubSilver. Iām not sure if making it have the same color as the text for that theme (i.e.: black for SubSilver) is an easy change.
On a separate note, I noticed the new browser icons in the Statistics page are png i/o gif. So I am posting here the png icon versions for Safari & SRWare Iron:
Yayā¦ The SRWare Iron icon is added. Probably also the Safari one. Thanks.
EDIT: Correction. The Safari icon isnāt working yet. See this post created using Safari.
Something else that I noticed in the Statistics page, is that since the move to the new server, we had no new instances of IE users, which is a good thing (ppl finally moving on to better browsers:)). Anyway, now that we talk about IE, Iām not sure if a png icon for IE8 has been set, so here is one if you need (to be of course used for all IE versions, not just 8):
And hereās a png for Konqueror:
Let me know if you need any other. I donāt know if we have forumers using other browsers. If the case, they could either let me know which browser, or simply provide themselves a link to a 18x18 png.
Iāve been lurking this place for a while, but didnāt log in. I wanted to download 08 but I had to login for it (I donāt think I needed for the version I downloaded last year). Anyway, I also noticed some mistakes in the message I got when I logged it. Almost didnāt get what it wanted to say (and last part is like from an online translator):
I know not many visit this place as rare as me, but I found it funnyā¦ Anyway, Iām going to try VCMI 08 now. Changes look promising. Good luck with the project!
In the hope I donāt become annoying with my reports of insignificant forum issues Iād just like to point out that since the last update of forum icons, all posts using Iron (like this one) or Chrome (here) are now reported as Safari.
