Yikes something ain't right. It's all squished and tiny now on the iPad.

[Scott91MJ]

Hmm... there are two different settings for mobile devices. Ipad I'd like to show the desktop version. I'll take a look.

Search index is updating right now. I'll change it when that's done.

[Oscar]

Ok switched to VB default it is normal size but back to the CO4x4 style and all tiny and stuff. Tried mobile setting and it worked but is all funky looking.

Same on my Android tablet, using the regular desktop theme with the desktop client selected in the browser.

[Oscar]

White and blue setting is goofed up too.

Looking at it now.


BTW the Search Index is updated and search appears to be working (took longer than I thought it should, but it did work). Also Similar Threads is working again too (appears at the bottom of each thread).

Nope it is still shrunk to about 1/4 size justified left.

I believe I found the bug that was screwing up the new styles on mobile devices. I say bug, because what I just wasted an hour and a half of my life on is beyond stupid and cannot possibly be a design feature. There's one line in the settings where if I specify certain colors it hoses the entire screen layout. Fawking wonderful. Anyway, having finally determined the cause, I fixed both the CO4x4 and the white/blue layouts. Looks fine on my iphone and ipad now in all styles.

Is it me or didn't white/blue forum summary page have more of a darker blue contrast before? The converted version seems like a whole bunch of pale blue on a white background. Frankly I think it looks like crap. Inside the threads seems to look ok, but that forum summary screen is yuck. Maybe it's the category backgrounds that are wrong and should be dark blue. I didn't save a screenshot of the old one.

The quick navigation at the bottom of each page is different. This had been changed in most of the forums to take you directly to the parent forum of the thread you were in. Not sure if you want to change this again or not.

Smilies, formatting (bold, etc.), links, etc. aren't there any more for replies, even in Advanced mode.

There's an odd one. The advanced editor shows up in the default style but not the converted ones. I'll find out why.

[Oscar]

Also avatars are disappearing and can't seen to edit profiles.

Again something that works fine in the default theme. Clearly the built-in theme converter has some issues. I'll work on recreating these manually. So close and yet so far......

Quick question, Eric...
Has a PayPal fund been created for the extra alcohol/munchies that are being consumed by this process? I didn't see one in current threads, but would be all about pitchin'-in a case or more for the BS-factor.

[Scott91MJ]

Cleared cookies just to check if it was that, but the quick reply box is shaded grey with no text box within it on platform IE 8.0.6001, I have to go to the "go advanced" section to get to a text box to post. Firefox at home did not have this problem, and I will check the IE at home to see if it is just work IE.

I usually scroll down to the next unread post in threads. The read and unread post indicator is too close in color, can we get the color change to be more obvious?

If you click on the circle next to the thread title it will open the thread at the first un-read post.

Oh! That's cool, I didn't notice that there.

[longboy]

Or, if you're already in a thread, you can click on the "View first unread" link at the top of the page, next to "Thread Tools" where you can subscribe to threads, etc.

[Xtremjeepn-Cole Ford]

Am I missing the user control panel somewhere?


....edit: I see the list of threads comes up under "settings"

[newracer]

When I vote on a poll the results do not show up automatically, used to.

[PhantomD AKA Zach]

I hope this has not been asked already...

-is the navigation pane (the one on the left) coming back?

I do like a lot of the other improvements. The inline video is sweet, and it is a lot faster.

[Cyclemut]

I like it. I know I know, you were waiting for my input. So you can continue along, normally.

[Alpine Spirit]

Dig the color change already!!! Much easier on the eyes.

[PhantomD AKA Zach]

every time I sign in I get an "invalid redirect" and then I click on the co4x4 banner and I am logged in...

[CSP]

If you click on the circle next to the thread title it will open the thread at the first un-read post.

It's not working for me. It will take me to a post in the thread, but it's always way above the first un-read posts. Cleared my cache and cookies as an attempt to fix this.

[PhantomD AKA Zach]

I would love to get the navigation pane back. is this in the pipeline?

[birddog59]

Please, Ispell back to working? Already paid for an installed, still no Ispell. Used to work like a charm, I suck at spelling.

Thanks!

[Eric]

Probably due to the front page being turned off. Once that's working let me know if you still have that problem.

Yes.

It's not working or it doesn't exist? I never used it.


Update on the updates:
In the past few weeks my house has been a haven for a variety of illnesses. At some point in time either I'm sick or my daughter is or both. As a result I just haven't had time to get on here and try to get things finished up. I will get to it, it's just taking longer than I expected due to the distractions. Thanks for your patience.

[PhantomD AKA Zach]

I get no more invalid redirect issues, I had assumed you fixed it since it stopped about a day after I posted that.
Glad to hear the navigation pane is coming back...

being home sick today I can totally respect how little work gets done when feeling like crap, all in good time...

This is a piddly little complaint, but it bugs me. When typing in the Quick Reply box and the post is long enough to scroll, if I move the mouse out of the quick reply box it jumps to the top of the text. It's kind of a pain to have to keep scrolling down after using the mouse to position myself in the text.

Other than that, I'm gettin used to things... Nice Job!

[newracer]

When you vote in a poll it does not automatically show the results like it used to.

[birddog59]

Ispell is on the advanced page, it is still there. It just does not do a spellcheck when you click on it now.

One more question, will the itrader deal feedback lists return? Thanks for all your work on the place!

[newracer]

Is the real estate forum working? I posted in there but now when I click on the thread I get a 404 error.

One thing you can do is resize the Quick reply box - it will stay the size you make it too so you don't have to resize every time. In the bottom right of the box is some diagonal lines, click those and drag to resize.

The Real Estate forum is working, but for some reason the punctuation in the thread title screws with the meta tagging the vb4.X builds into the URL.

I'll edit the thread. When I click on the link in your post it opens. If I go to the real estate forum and then click on it I get the error.

When using safari on the most recent everything (lion, safari 5.1.4) I get a "token invalid" warning when I try to "go advanced" and edit my post. However if I use chrome it works without issue.
