We opened up a section for user "Tech Support," as we just started the forums Monday. Here are some things they have found, where most seem like they may be bugs.
- Poll result graphs get both vertically and horizontally larger, instead of just horizontally.
- Extra <br> tags inserted above each section of list contents. (Space around bullets)
- Can't right click and open posts in new window while in tree view. Could potentially be fixed by:
Current HTML:
<A href="javascript://" onclick="something(1234);">
Would need to look like:
<A href="http://www.soundfor...." onclick="something(1234); return(false);">
- Button Alignment: "Once in a while certain threads don't line up correctly. This capture was from the Product Reviews section. It happens occasionally (maybe one out of 5-10 pages for me), but not every time, and not always on the same threads. The problem seems to be that the buttons are rendered too low - they aren't inline with the other elements that are left justified. Using IE8."
- Flat view: Can't sort the messages in a thread with the most recent at the top.
Thanks

naudefj wrote on Wed, 19 January 2011 21:56It's a problem on your forum (custom CSS that overwrites IMG height?).
This is how it looks like on all the other forums:
http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&goto=164314
You're right, when resizing images, I set the height to "auto." That line was also affecting the poll sizes. Is there any way to have that only affect the images in posts?
Also, today a few users were mentioning that links were going to random posts on the forum. I also managed to run into the problem. Clicking on the "Tech Support" section brought me to a random post in the "Basement" section.
I'm not sure what could be causing that, as it hasn't been brought up previously.
From a user:
Quote:Started having a problem today where I click a link to a forum, thread, or even PMs and the page loads a random post from somewhere else on the site. If I hit "back" and reselect the target link, it loads properly. Forum s/w bug? Cache issue?

It sounds like most of the errors you are getting are self-created when you have edited your templates or something similair. There is just simly no way that with the default setup of FUDforum that some of the errors you have explained will appear.
Onwards to a free CSS lesson:
To define a max-width or similar to an image in a post, use CSS.
The tag that contains message text is span.MsgBodyText
So, to affect images inside a post, you would write the CSS rule like this:
span.MsgBodyText img {
max-width: 100px;
}
(smileys are also images)
A great tool for design purposes is Firebug which is an addon to Firefox. With that you can inspect elements on the page as well as edit the CSS to preview changes.
When you switched to path_info theme, did you create a new theme based on the path_info template set?

Spent 10 minutes clicking around on your forum. Also read the tech threads.
About the bulletlist, it does indeed add one extra linebreak, it is however, hard to fix.
Like this:
----------------
List below me
-----------------
List below me
------------------------
List below me
Yet again, to remove some extra space, you have to use CSS
span.MsgBodyText ul {
margin: 0px
}
etc etc

Come to think of it, wonder if not some of the problems are created by the tree view jquery stuff. Hrmm. I never use tree view myself since it's so slow (since I have to click on each post to read it, wda) but maybe. hrmm.
The moderation queue delete things just sounds like the URL for the delete key is malformed. Does the URL contain {DEF: _rsid} at the end? Or maybe also even ?SQ={GVAR: sq} ?

I'll try out the change to the image CSS. I had it in the actual "image" section of the CSS, so as you mentioned, it was affecting every image on the forum.
I'll also install Firebug.
The URL for the "Delete" link is:
http://www.soundforums.net/index.php/del/3058/?SQ=8e188b3df630f90db5b0a0b167162f77
It constantly will bring me to the forum home page though.
When we switched to path_info style URLs, we didn't create a new them. I went into Theme Manager, selected "Edit" next to the default theme. I set it for the path_info template set. Could that be causing the issues?

Yes
You have to create a new one, based on the path_info template as far as I know.

Ernesto wrote on Wed, 26 January 2011 22:40Or (thanks to Frank who told me) you can from a command prompt "touch DATA_ROOT/thm/default/path_info" that might also fix your problem.
Just tried that. It didn't fix the issue though.
I created a new theme based of path_info. Does that take all of the edits I've made to tmpl files into the new theme? Some layout things have changed, while the majority are still there.
Users are still having the random link issue, also, entire topics' threads are showing up below the one they are viewing.
