The SMF developers finally released a 2.0 final version of the forum software the other day.
I have upgraded our forum from the 2.0RC release candidate to the 2.0, but as expected it has killed some of our addons such as the "Who was here today" list, Private messages pop up, and the banners.
I now need to update our theme to be compatible and then I can add those things back in.
Just letting everyone know why some things may appear different temporarily around here.
Themes done, and now as soon as the add-ons get updated I'll start adding them back in.
Do we want the shoutbox back?
I kinda thought it was handy, but who the hell am I?
QuoteDo we want the shoutbox back?
Yeeessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh yeah!
YES on the Shout box!
As soon as the Devs get caught up and get their addons updated I'll put one back in.
I been watching and I think most of them have been patiently waiting like us for the 2.0 software version to be finalized. And now that it has, they have their hands full :laf:
There seems to be a bug, at least for me, in the "reply" box to post. Anything I type scrolls off the screen and I cannot see it
Have you noticed this? Making things larger or smaller does not appear to solve the issue either.
:confused:
I'm not sure I'm following you. Your typing goes right out of the box and off the side of your screen?
same for me as THO.
here is a screen shot.
It done that to me a couple of days ago and I clicked refresh and then closed and started Fins again. Problem solved. :shrug:
It is doing it to me right now. The side of the box just goes off the screen and I have a slider so I can move my page to see the right side of the reply box. If you keep typing the page just moves over. Very strange indeed.
my page won't move over. just keeps on typing off the side.
Oh that is so cool. I wish mine would do that. :laf:
Ok let me see if I can figure out why it's only doing that to certain people :confused:
:shrug: another victim here... just one time though.
It does it at home and with the computer at work if that is any help
Well it isn't doing it now on the house desk top. Maybe it's my lap top?
Taking some of the advice from above, I did a Right Click with the mouse, Reload, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you for the tip 5 SHOTS
Al @ THO
I'm here to help.
But I'm not a Geek, trust me. :laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:
Ok, here's the skinny.
Apparently it's a cache issue, which means some of your computers are looking at cached versions instead of the updated forum version which is actually here.
The reload trick is calling the page again directly from the server instead of it being fed from your cache, and therefore it doesnt do it.
However the SMF developers did have a trick up there sleeves to prevent this from happening to anyone, but they forgot to implement it into the software when they went 2.0
My guess is they will probably include it in the next minor update, or maybe not even at all since it's so mi`nute of a situation. Plus it's not actually a software bug. And the trick they were going to implement was more of a courtesy on there part.
(The short version)
Clear your cache :wink:
:doh2: Gotcha!
Set up your browsers to clear the cache when closing it will stop lots of other glitches. I also use CCleaner alot to do a better job.
:wo: Anybody having trouble displaying the "Silver Member" display?
Your probably having trouble seeing the silver, platinum, and gold member tags. I forgot to add them back in to the updated theme. :doh2:
Give me three minutes.
Ok, click the F5 button or clear your cache, should be good to go.
:highclap: Good work Jim!
