Can we put all suggestions / fix requests in here please

[Boydy]

I thought he might be editing it and it's a joke as well but it seems like such a pointless joke.

[Benny]

I feel like Benny is joking. It would be a crap joke but then so is the ScousePig stuff. Take a photo of your screen so we know you're not editing the screeny.

It's not a joke, I'm actually a bit offended you think I'm that unfunny to be honest. Not sure how a photo proves I didn't edit it, I can edit photos to you know...

I genuinely have the smiley's at the bottom of posts rather than where they're meant to be placed.

[SvN]

Right click the smiley > inspect element and post a screenshot of the developer tools.

[Benny]

Think this is right, big screenshot ahead:

[SvN]

You're either on the wind up (which would explain why it took so long to post that) or you've got some weird extension that's moving the emoticons around.

The page source code (CTRL + U) shows the smiley in the right location.

[Magic]

SvN can you make the mrgreen smilie 0.5mm smaller please?

[Benny]

I'm at work, sat next to my boss, hence the delay. Must just be an extension then, as I do have a couple on the go.

I'm really not on the windup, it would be such a pointless thing to do :D

[SvN]

Login in an incognito window and check again.

There we have it, it's one of my extensions. Now to figure out which... Cheers though.

[Magic]

How on earth does the rep work? I have 1 reputation power or something. Any ideas?

[Giggles]

I just got a bad gateway error message on here :uhoh:

I'm blaming Benny and his extensions.

[phonics]

I got one of those a few days ago but disappeared immediately so no idea.

[randomlegend]

Phonics still with full rep because he "can't be bothered" to change it back is an outrage.

Sorry, what was that?

[randomlegend]

Eyyyyy.

[phonics]

Just a wee joke.

'Avin a piss lol?

How on earth does the rep work? I have 1 reputation power or something. Any ideas?I think it's the same as on the old board. As you gather more rep, your "reputation power" increases, so that when you give other people rep it carries more weight. For instance, if phonics was the rep this post :henn0rz: it'd be worth more to my overall rep points than if you did.

[niko_cee]

Seems to be running a bit slow at the moment.

:uhoh:

[CJay]

Noticed that too.

[Boydy]

I assumed that was just my internet connection.

[Baz]

phonics SvN John etc

I sent you all a PM the other day. Did you get it? Or is mass PM broke?

[phonics]

Sorry, mentioned it to Mike last week that I've been mad busy. I should be free this atfernoon and get round to it.

[SvN]

I saw it, and intentionally left it for the proper admins to decide. Happy to give my advice if it's wanted, but I don't really want to get involved in matters related to THE BOARD.

I did appreciate the effort you went to, though.

[John]

Saw it while I was in my gran's and forgot to deal with it when I got home. I'll have a proper read over it tonight and see what's what.

[Benny]

Take it to PM's, you attention seekers.

:pards:

[Magic]

Is this the coup d'état that sees Henry removed from the board staff because Baz is holding us all to ransom? :drool:

[randomlegend]

Do you get a notification if you get repped? Can you see your reps anywhere like the old board?

I'm sure this has been answered but 'rep' is too short to search for (I presume I didn't bother to check).

[Magic]

I get all notifications, there was a way before the crash to remove this in the 'settings' but I don't see it anymore? Not available on mobile skins either.

[Boydy]

Yeah, I get notifications for everything and don't seem to be able to turn them off.

[John]

Do you get a notification if you get repped? Can you see your reps anywhere like the old board?

I'm sure this has been answered but 'rep' is too short to search for (I presume I didn't bother to check).

You do, and you can see your reps under the 'Settings' bar at the top. That's basically the old 'User CP'.

[Luca]

You do, and you can see your reps under the 'Settings' bar at the top. That's basically the old 'User CP'.

I assume it only starts logging rep from the first instance you receive it?

EDIT: This Post Quote notification stuff really is the tits. How did we survive on the old board?

[Disco]

Yeah, the tab doesn't appear until you receive some.

[SincereTheRebel]

Informed via text (respect to whoever that was) that there has been a theme change. Its not quite default but its similar and good enough.:jayjay:

[phonics]

I bet it was Taz. Welcome.

[SincereTheRebel]

Who do i give credit to and where do i sent a donation?

[igor_balis]

Me. My paypal account. I'll pm you

[Giggles]

It's ok, I have your details. I'll send them on to him now.

I just got an internal server error. I thought the place had died again.

[Grandstand]

I don't know if there is already a setting for this and I've just missed it but is there any way to make the date displayed on the top left of posts not the silly American format?

[SvN]

Changed

[SvN]

Just got an Internal Server Error myself. Tried to check the FTP to see if there were any logs stored, but I can't ping the FTP server. Is it still ftp.thethirdhalf.co.uk ?

[Toby]

I got one there too and site was taking noticeably longer to load for a spell of about five minutes.

Nothing compared to Cloudflares of TD, just posting in case its helpful to know that it isn't isolated.

[SvN]

Yeah I've received about 5 in the last 10 minutes.

[Benny]

Someone start a Contingency Plan v2 thread.

[CJay]

I haven't been getting any of those. Everything's been running very smoothly the last couple of weeks, for me.

[phonics]

Nothings changed server side. Or at least I haven't.

[SvN]

I can no longer access the website on my mobile. Having done a whois lookup, it appears that there may be an issue with the domain

http://www.whois-search.com/whois/thethirdhalf.co.uk

Your selected domain name is a domain name that has been cancelled, suspended, refused or reserved at the Point ML Registry.

I suspect it's only a matter of time until the site goes down for everyone.

phonics, did you or Baz register the domain?

[Mike]

I registered it :( It's listed as Suspended. Not sure why, I'll email them.

[Giggles]

Is there something I need to change to have posts displaying at the correct time? At the moment they're an hour into the future since the clocks changed yesterday morning but my forum settings arenon GMT with DST set to On.

[Spammer]

Do we have a search function at this place?

[Toby]

Yes. In Metro skin it's just below the page number links on main forum page, and in Mobile there's a magnifying glass at the top right. There's also a Search Thread thing in each thread.

Don't know what other skins are like, but it's pretty hard to miss on those two tbh.

[Magic]

Unless he's browsing on mobile skins?

[Toby]

Looks like the in thread search maybe doesn't work in Mobile skin.

[Giggles]

Switching between the mobile and full skin is easy. You need to do it to search, see polls, post images/videos, and see notofications. But it's not top hard go to the full and then switch back to mobile.

[Giggles]

Need to switch to full site to add rep too. Only the report post icon is available in mobile view.

[Giggles]

Is there anyway to make the short YouTube URL work in the add video box? The app copies the youtu.be address by default when sharing but you seem to need the full www.YouTube.com/... address here to make it embed.

Short:

[SincereTheRebel]

Can i change the moblie skin as its default.

[Giggles]

Would it be possible to enable polls in mobile view or would it be a pain?

[SvN]

I've no idea, to be honest. I'll take a look and see what the deal is.

This is down to the plugin we use. I'll take a look at it and see if I can modify it to allow the short URLs.

[Giggles]

I'd say more people on here are using desktop/laptop so if it only works with one or the other then it would be better to leave as is. But if both can work then happy days, cheers.

[The Merse]

I seem to get constant caching issues on mobile when returning to the sun forum - if I post, it doesn't show as the latest post and even returning to the thread it doesn't display there. 5 minutes or so later, the issue is rectified. At least I imagine it's due to caching.

as it doesn't occur on my laptop I can only imagine it's my device, but nonetheless it's frustrating. Anyone experienced and rectified this via their settings?

[The Merse]

And that time (for the first time today) it didn't do it. It's bizarre.

[Giggles]

I gave up on this keeping up with new posts across devices ages ago, TD was the same but there doesn't seem to be a solution for it.

[Giggles]

Is there a way the 'mark forum read' button could be added in mobile?
