Niggling problems remaining in new Codex - also for identifying possible bugs

[Taluntain]

Uh, you have clickable up and down arrows at the bottom right side of every page. Though Twiglard 's set them to hide immediately, they reappear every time you slightly move/scroll up or down any forum page.

 

[Darth Roxor]

But they jump to the top of the page, not the top of the post.

 

[Taluntain]

I don't think there were any buttons that would go only to the top of the post, that wouldn't make any sense since most posts aren't that long anyway so it'd be a useless link in the majority of posts. I checked my XF1 install and there are no such links in posts.

 

[Semiurge]

Now might be a good time to finally implement proper encryption. I've gotten warnings about the site not supporting https for two days now when at first connecting to the forum, then after visiting another site I don't get the alert anymore. This is because 'https everywhere' is enabled, as it should be. This might be an issue caused by encrypted connection scanning as well.

I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine that existing. It was in the bottom right corner of every post and I used it very often in the screenshots thread and in various LPs. Fairly certain it was a recent addition too.

 

[Taluntain]

It's possible that DarkUnderlord (?) manually added an anchor link there, but something like that would have very limited practical use and would just add another largely unnecessary link to every post. Maybe potentially useful if it was limited to LP/screenshot forums only, but given that nobody's missed it so far, I expect that it was not a feature many people used. If it did exist at all -- I've gone over all the XF1 template modifications before the conversion to XF2 and I don't remember seeing any custom anchor additions inside posts, otherwise we'd have reimplemented it already.

"Proper encryption" has been implemented years ago. For the issues that you're having, post screenshots and browser information. More often than not on the Codex, the problem is users installing a dozen privacy addons that not surprisingly eventually end up conflicting with normal functioning of the website.

Did visible signature size decrease? I noticed I could fit like two quotes in my signature to appear (the ones stay "hidden"), now I can't even fit two one-line quotes. Feels like signatures are 50% smaller now

Pretty sure that's to do with the font-size increase.

I decreased my font in the signature, but it still had the problem.

Yeah, I noticed that decreasing font size seems not to do much in terms of saving space. If you go below 12, any decrease in font size just leads to respective increase in line spacing.

It's not as detailed as the previous version though.

In the alerts page in the account settings, there still is no way to go to the post the alert is for by clicking the alerts. You can only do it with the pop-down menu for the alerts.

Can we also recreate the list of most brofisted posts that used to appear below that distribution of posts by forum/subforum? And there used be a convenient "stats" button appearing on each post, which would link to that user's page displaying both of these.

 

[Arbiter]

Achievements seem to be broken. I do not have the one for 250 brofists.

 

[Ismaul]

I just noticed a forum-breaking issue with button ratings.

The regular parrot is bigger than the top hat + monocled parrot. I'm boiling at the disrespect of natural hierarchy.

If anything, the prestigious parrot should be taller on account of his hat. Like the smilies:

 

[Nano]

Sigh. The "upgrade" isn't as bad as it used to be, but it's still just straight up inferior to the previous Codex.

 

[Taluntain]

RPG Codex, declining since inception.

Yes, roxor. Stop suggesting useless features like that. The Codex needs it's limited link allowance for things that are actually useful like putting dozens of buttons on the end of every post

 

[mondblut]

Is it just me, or is display of names and badges garbled? Regardless of length, something is cut short for everyone.

 

[mondblut]

Not even the royalty are spared circumcision, unless their tit(t)les are long and pretentious enough.

 

[Ismaul]

mondblut
It's just you, or at least not everyone.

I see the staff members in their full uncircumcised form.

 

[mondblut]

Oh, I see. That's Worster's script misbehaving

Added to the user popup as 'Stats', next to 'Ignore List'.

Global search on the non-forum portion of the site is broken and I probably won't be able to fix it before the next weekend.

Thank you, this is great

Is it intended that if I'm ignoring a user, I can never see any thread they started, nor any part of it?

I got a notification about a new reply in a thread for a game I care about a lot, but since the first post in that thread happens to be by someone I'm ignoring, I can't read any of it.
