| Some Bugs Found by Users [message #164246] |

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

Current bugs:
- Rankings don't get updated until user posts. (Changed ranking names, all are blank except those who posted since the change in ranking names)
- Poll size increases both vertically and horizontally, should be just horizontal.
- Date of births are showing up as random years. Generally 1999 and 2000, even though a proper year was entered at registration.
See this "tech support" thread on our forum. A lot of users have been seeing problems with tree view:

Hey, thanks for the updates. We definitely appreciate the time you put into all of this.
naudefj wrote on Wed, 19 January 2011 10:54W.r.t. issue 1 - It may help to read the documentation:
"After making any modifications you MUST run the 'Cache Rebuilder' by clicking on the link at the top of the Rank Manager form."
For details see Rank Manager.
We have been running the "Cache Rebuilder" after making modifications, as there was a note on that admin page telling us to do so.

Please let us know how to simulate the problem.
I just created a poll on there.

Here is a screenshot of the current result:
On past installations of FUDforum, the bars would only increase in length horizontally, not vertically, and the vertical size of the rows would be the same before they had any votes.

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?

Also, we can't delete posts from the moderation queue page. In some threads, the forum home page is being reproduced below the thread. I can't upload it here, but if anyone wants to take a look, I can send an attachment of the saved page.
In the past week, we switched to search engine friendly URLs, and applied the patches posted earlier in this thread.

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?

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?

I tried undoing the tree view/java patch, and rebuilt the theme. The issue was still there, so I'll assume that can be ruled out. It seems to be happening at random throughout the entire forum.

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.
