We're all deeply appreciative of the efforts of those who have been gradually improving the new site to restore the aesthetics and functionality of the old Codex. This thread is intended to list any remaining issues that have yet to be resolved:
Possible bugs:
Feel free to post anything else you've noticed (preferably with details), and I will append them to this list.
- Stats button - Old Codex had a "stats" button appearing on every post, which would take you to a page with the distribution of posts by forum for that Codexer, followed by a list of that Codexer's most-brofisted posts --- Zed Duke of Banville --- This has been Partly Resolved: there is now a "stats" button on the pop-up menu accessible by hovering the cursor of anyone's username, but the stats page only has the distribution of posts by forum, not a list of most-brofisted posts
Button ratings sorted on post - Button ratings that have been applied to a post appear below it, as before, but they are no longer sorted by # times each rating has been applied (with the most applied appearing on the left side) --- Zed Duke of BanvilleResolved- Button ratings sorted in the ratings box - The old sorting of buttons was abandoned in the transition, and it admittedly wasn't greatly missed. However, the new sorting wasn't any better, and a recent revision seems to have been intended to collect buttons that are visually similar; for example, the smiley faces now all appear at the top. A proper sorting of ratings would group ones with similar meanings, as proposed here. --- Zed Duke of Banville
- Animations for avatars - Animated avatars currently display just a static image --- Zed Duke of Banville
- Hyperlink style - The current automatic underlining of hyperlinks should be replaced with an automatic color application --- Zed Duke of Banville
- Ignore specific forums or threads --- Alex
- Moving and deleting embedded images is more complicated with your text field cursor than it used to be --- Semiurge
- The yellow button still doesn't work on older threads you haven't clicked on in awhile, even threads you've posted in. Still takes you to the first page. --- Grimlorn
- There should be an option to hide the menu/title bar at top of screen. --- Grimlorn
- There used to be a Top button at the bottom right around Home and Help; possibly other buttons as well --- Grimlorn
Popup on user name/avatar - Since it is possible to obtain this popup by clicking on a user's name or avatar, there is no need for this popup to appear when the cursor hovers over the name or avatar, which often occurs unintentionally ---GrimlornResolvedThere should be a feature to hide the aggregation settings. In GRPG you have about 20 subforums and it's an eyesore. I know you can just delete them all but that leaves GRPG empty. --- GrimlornResolved- Doing a quick copy/paste grab in Shoutbox to quote someone results in a mess --- Gregz
Search pop-up box with results from thread titles is redundant and irritating, should be removed ---Zed Duke of BanvilleResolvedUnread watched threads used to sort by unread, post-upgrade it has been just a list of watched threads with unread threads highlighted, but as of today it doesn't even do that - it doesn't limit itself to watched threads at all, and just shows unread new posts. Watched threads is completely broken now. --- hello friendResolved- If you hover over a profile photo, the account details popup displays reaction statistics. It used to show 3 values: positive ratings (green), neutral ones (white) and negatives ones (red). Now there are 6 categories, likely resulting from reorganization of buttons into new categories. The green number now points to "Standard Yellow" category and the red one to "Prestigious Privileged Patrons" category. This is clearly incorrect. --- Arbiter
- User Profile -> Postings -> 'See More' --- The 'See More' button should add more posts to the already existing page, not load a new page (which annoyingly starts back with the 'Search results' you've already read). --- Gregz
User names should wrap instead of overflowing --- rusty_shacklefordResolved- Smilies button drop-down menu - Greatly expand this drop-down menu horizontally, while also enlarging the images (less of a size reduction) so that they are easier to examine and select --- Zed Duke of Banville
- Signature space - Amount of space available for signatures has decreased substantially, limiting the amount of text that can be placed --- The Brazilian Slaughter
- Attached images shown below post - Either eliminate it or have a toggle option --- Rean
- The roll clickbox is still too big, resulting in rolling by accident way too often. --- rop
- 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. --- FriendlyMerchant
- The prestigious parrot button rating is scaled down (not the smiley but the rating), which is not the case for the regular parrot button rating; preferably, they would both be at full scale.
--- Ismaul - When you're typing paragraphs then press backspace in second paragraph. It sometimes goes up. Example: https://imgur.com/a/zv5VhwK --- Pink Eye
- On old Codex you used to be able to maximize editing window to fill whole screen, which made writing long posts super easy --- Pink Eye
- If you use b element to bold words it reverts text size. You have to actually highlight the word then modify its text size after using b element. --- Pink Eye
- Copy pasting steam update log to Codex breaks the entire quote. This was definitely NOT the case on old codex. --- Pink Eye
Alerts from being tagged in a post - This had been functioning without any problems, but recently this seems to have stopped working intermittently --- Zed Duke of BanvilleResolved- Another issue with alerts: It seems that if someone quotes a message that originally quoted you, you will get an alert about it, even if the quoting user edited your original message out of it. --- Alex
With the addition of an "Ignore thread" button, the "Jump to new" button on the top-right of a thread is now sandwiched between that and the Watch/Unwatch button. Since the "Jump to new" button should be the most frequently used, I suggest placing it on the left side, with the "Ignore thread" as the least often used in the middle. --- Zed Duke of BanvilleResolved
Possible bugs:
- There is some kind of strange and terrible performance issue, such that loading the main forums page (https://rpgcodex.net/forums/) requires the user to wait? ~10 seconds before the site will serve links on the page? To demonstrate this, load the page from somewhere else and then try to mouseover any title which also serves as a link, you will not be able to load that link for ~10 seconds. It may be a local problem, I don't know: Chrome (latest version) on Win 7 --- Gregz
Octavius has been experiencing performance issues when editing posts, starting July 28, when using Mozilla Firefox, but problem does not occur with OperaResolved (actually a problem with Mozilla Firefox)- A recurring error no matter the browser or the platform, where you click the reply button in the profile posts section, it hangs for a little bit and if you click more times it ends up creating several reply boxes.
