Forum maintenance 18/02/2021
-
Nothing too exciting. I'm just updating to the latest software version etc
Haven't done this for about 6 months so there's probably going to be a couple of minor issues afterwards (we have a couple of customisations on top of the base code)
How long will it take? Probably 45mins.
-
M4L for about 45 minutes around lunchtime...
-
-
-
Well we're back
Yes there's plenty of visual problems. Will fix them over the next few hours
-
As a millennial waiting that 45 minutes was unacceptable.....
-
I'll try to improve the look of that fixed header inside the threads and the scroll counter on desktops
Plenty of alignment issues I need to fix too.
Refresh every now and then and you'll get the latest fixes
This is why I haven't updated for a while.. I knew they fucked with the layout. It sucks doing this without a dev server to play with first

@duluth you're riding the lightning playing with Prod!? ha ha you madman!

Haha I have backups
It's all low risk stuff. They changed the html and we have custom css
-
@duluth appreciate the mahi bro!

Yeah - I was losing my shit... after lunch, 4 pints down, and looking to punctuate sporadic work with Fernin'... and it just don't fucking exist any more.
Options:
A - go back to work, spend time on what I'm paid to do.
B - try different browsers, consider updating my PAC file with a specific entry for TSF to bypass work proxies, wallow in a mire of despairTake a wild guess at what my afternoon was spent doing.

@kruse Gina in accounts.

I know that's words and stuff but I have no idea what you actually mean

Has everyones little light thing gone to turn it into dark mode?
-
@hooroo nope

No changes to that
If you’re on a phone remember that setting is at the top of the slideout menu

mine has if i use "Edge"...and then i couldn't like your comment or reply or even Direct Message to say so, nothing worked
login in using Chrome and all seems ok...but Edge if F'd up
-
I'm on IE at work and it doesn't even say how long ago a post was made etc. In a bright white theme too.

Yes IE is a bit fucked.
I'll fix what I can when I can. The problem is that it doesn't render like other browsers and so special exceptions have to be made for people on IE.
Dark mode is lowest priority. It appears the plugin is not loading at all (eg not related to customisations). This is only on IE.
-
@duluth and edge
there actually several issues with edge, like when i click the "noticifications" it opens a whole new page, not just a drop down, plus the not being able to reply, quote or like

Clear your browser cache
I just replied to you, liked/unliked your post and opened notifications on Edge
-
@duluth must be something else with me then, cleared but still buggered
i'll use chrome, edge crashes all the time anyway
-
Yeah I'm on Edge - no issues.

I thought that too - but then I realised it's just moved across to the right?
-
@Kruse unfortunately not mine.
Can't quote, reply directly, Like, or use the @thing and the drop down appears.
-
Also can't mark forums as read and no up/down arrows to go to first/last post.
woe is my first world problems!!

@mariner4life I would like that, but I can't

Yes I have an ancient laptop with IE. I can see the same thing.
Sorry, there's zero chance I'm fixing anything today though. Too busy. Should have some time over the weekend
In the meantime you're stuck with your phone or you can nag your works IT department to get off IE
Incidentally 0.4% of TSF traffic comes from IE. It's just dropped behind the Seamonkey browser

All good. Just jumped on via phone as my posts were disappearing but it appears it is just that the page won’t load as I scroll down.

What's up with YouTube embeds on here - the fullscreen option is never enabled for some reason?

allowfullscreen is set but is getting ignored by the google side
Eventually I want to change the embeds to another method. That's a while away.

Hasn't been for ages

People, for the love of God, stop using IE to browse the web. Your IT department should give you a modern browser to use even if some of their shitty custom apps still need IE. It's a waste of Duluth's time fixing stuff for old browsers.

I can't upvote some users posts. It says Error forbidden.

Looks like a bug on the latest release link
Apparently refreshing helps most of the time. I’ll install the fix when it’s available
-
@duluth yeah refreshing did fix it. I can't post or upvote when it's happening.
