Known Issues/Missing Features
 

These are the known issues with the new forums:

Karma - It will be re-added using vBulletin's reputation system as soon as we find a block of free time. Old karma values will be restored and used as the initial set.

Plugin Ratings - These likely will not return for a while. They were mostly abused to subversively affect karma.

Trash - Moderators might not be able to move things to Trash. If you can't, please do a 'Soft Delete' on the thread until we can make a Trash Button.

Attachment Re-uploads - Uploading a replacement attachment is not possible. You must first remove the old one, then add the new one. This resets your download count. We don't have an immediate fix for it, so please live with it for now.

Ranks - Please wait while I think up something more clever than "AMXX ScriptKiddy."

Donors, Official Server - These are still being read from the old database. We will have this done sometime soon, but since the old users will still work fine, it's not high priority.

Filenames - During the merge we accidentally chopped the last character off any file with a four character extension. For example, 'file.amxx' became 'file.amx'. To fix this for general cases, I changed all '.amx' files to '.amxx'. Thus, there might be some rare .amx files named improperly, or '.jpe' files which should be '.jpeg'. PM me to correct instances of these you see.

Post Stretch - Some post where big images, fonts, long lines are used will stretch out of page. In the old phpBB forum it used to stretch all posts which became annoying. So we have decided to allow only 1 post to stretch. This does bring some problems at some points (only noticed in IE atm) which we are working to fix.

Quick Edit - This feature was disabled due to a small internal change that Freecode did and cannot remember. As soon as he finds it, it will be re-enabled.

Announcements (Admins & Moderators only) - Do not use this feature until Freecode fixes it.

Attachments in Private Messages - (reported by DS). No immediate plans on this.

Cookies/Last Read - I (bail) am having weird reproducable problems with this. For example, reading, then jumping two levels of forums up, it will still mark it as unread. No idea what that's all about.

Viewing Private Messages - This might differ upon user's monitor display size. The message doesnt have the border all around it and is stretched out of the page.

CODE stuff - We need to make buttons for these. Possibly resize buttons. Possibly increase max post size.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

In this new forums people are allowed to post plugins in the approved plugins....

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

god dammit
just a bit late to say the same thing

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Thanks for the notification. Fixed this :)

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

What's a 'Soft Delete' and how do I do it? :o

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Soft Delete deletes post from the thread, but not from the Database. It allows other moderators/admins to review it and either delete or restore it.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

umm i just saw an online user, his name was highlighted in red and in his profile it say he is banned...

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

When you go to delete, you will see either the option to Soft Delete or Physical Delete. I think soft delete keeps it in the database but marks it unviewable or something. *EDIT* freecode hit it first

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Don't worry about it. He's only viewing the "No Permission" page/message. :mrgreen:

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Oh, I see! Thanks bail and fc :)

k007: I believe that's how it's supposed to be. He can probably still login, but remains handicapped ;)

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

GJ on the new forums :D

I have 3 things i wonder if it can be changed

You cant post a whole plugins code
It is not often you do that, but maybe it should be possible sometimes
You get the following Error:
The text that you have entered is too long (23665 characters). Please shorten it to 10000 characters long.

1. Could that be changed to a higher value?

2. The textarea where the code is viewed is not very wide and you have to side scroll.
It is a problem if the code is long

Could you make the textarea wider?

Try and post a lot of code and you will see what I mean

3. Buttons for small, code, quote etc.
Will those come later?
EDIT I found out you have to enable it in your "user CP" (Edit Options)
Atleast formating of the text and much more


Again very GJ on the new forums

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

k007: yes, they appear on the list but they cannot see anything.

Show me an example of where you need this and I'll consider it.

I'd prefer to add little controls that dynamically expand it. It may be possible so we'll look into it.

Good idea, I will add this into the todo list.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

For my suggestion
Maybe you could atleast make it deafult for new users to get option #2 (Standard Editor)
I got Basic editor - And I was alreday a member of the forum.
Maybe new users will get it different.

I now use "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing"

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Yes new registered memebers will get "Enhanced Interface-Full WYSIWYG Editing". The imported ones dont. I might fix that thought.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

BAIL, the small just change to "code" and no colour... plx fix it

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Please clarify your problem.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

#include <gaben>  

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin("Test","1.0","Freecode"); 
}
new gaben

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Freecode you rocks, let me test it

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Good job!

I've noticed some problems though.

1. Some of the headers have the same font color as the background color. For example scroll down to the bottom of this page. There are "Quick Reply" header with the black font and black background so to read what is written in the header i have to "select" that text.

2. Can we replace all [list][/list]tags with[indent][/indent]in all (old) posted messages? The reason is that old forum's[list][/list]tags acts in the same manner as the[indent][/indent]tags now. For all (old)[list][/list]tags there are incorrect format displaying (marks at the beginning of every element), which looks not good because[list][/list]used to not mark but indent in the old forums.

3. Why "65534 Private Message(s)" displayed at the top of (any) page? :o
I do not have that many private messages.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Spam ! I've seen this before when phpBB was replaced by vBulletin. All your PM's were saved. The only difference is that they're visible again.

Hm. I miss the AMXX favicon.

Do you mean that i had total 65534 PMs? I do not think so.
This seems as a some kind of a bug since 65534 is very close to value of the 1 byte (2^16). I guess that's the max. possible displayed value of the PMs.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Didn't look at the actual number. Seems impossible indeed.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Ok, i solved "65534 Private Message(s)" problem.
I've just sent the PM to another person and then deleted it immediately.
Now that PMs count isn't looks so weird.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

OMG :D

I've been waiting for 2 days for this... :)

I still prefer the PHPBB2 ones though :|


I'll post if I find any problems :D

Bug 1: I wrote some pawn code and used the [small] tags, then I pressed preview and the code looked fine, however, in the "Reply to thread" textbox (where we write our posts) the code was put inside a regtangle, just like it looked in the preview, I noticed that I could move that regtangle and when I did and pressed preview, it had <p> all over the place and it didn't show correct if I previewed it again

Also, why do I get it like this?

Code:

</p><p><font face="monospace">public plugin_init() </p><p>{</p><p> register_plugin("Test","1.0","Freecode"); </p><p>}</p><p>new gaben</font>

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Damn this is nice, good job.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Numerous code posting issues.

1. Not a bug but "tab" replaced with space if it's copied to the forum's message edit box. Doesnt matter whether it's code or just a simple text. But for code indentation sinlge space isn't enough.

2. Also for the code double new line replaced with the single new line so i have to post triple new line to make it display a double new line:

3. If the post is previewed before submitting the code block will be just like this (as reported above):
4. For the PHP code block if the post is previewed before submitting, all indentation spaces will be removed from PHP code block.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

i tried to edit my esp desciption:
could you please increase this limit?

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

hi, my plugin is a serious plugin with a serious description:
http://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=29886

i can't edit it anymore because it's about 16000 characters. i would have to cut out 6000 characters :(
@BAILOPAN: this is your example to consider increasing this limit ;)


i could probably remove the changelog because it is growing all the time and having it in the file should be enough. anyway, this still won't reduce the size to under 10000 characters

furthermore will the attachment description come back? when you have two files with same filename and different content it is really a problem without a description

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

On the Shero main site, instead of news, I get:

phpBB Fetch All: $phpbb_root_path is wrong and does not point to your forum.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

sourcemm doesn't use a plugin system like the one AmxX has, so they would have to move the AmxX one over to SM.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

It's almost better that you don't have 10 images in the post.. provide links to the images, so that people on slow connections don't have to download them all if they don't want to.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

i made small preview thumbnails for slow connections..

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

I'm sure you are probably already aware of this issue but just for some reason if you're not...
I got that on my restrict commands plugin post in new plugin submissions. There is lots of information for the plugin so hopefully you guys all have an idea for increasing the limit (or possibly are already working on that) because until then I can't even edit the post or re-upload the source or any other files for the plugin. It simply will not let me update anything for it until the limit is increased.

The new forums look awesome and I'm glad you guys switched to vBulletin.. it looks way more pro in my opinion and I like it. GJ and thanx for all the hard work.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Your DNS did not update.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Stupid Cytanet, always falling behind...

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Ok i have removed post limit size, increased attachment size for images and increased image attachments per post up to 10. If any abusement is found these settings will be changed back.

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

thx, Freecode (hope ppl don't abuse it..)

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

I'm getting "Error in page" (that little notice on the bottom left) in IE, should I worry?

It says: "null" is null or not an object

Re: Known Issues/Missing Features
 

Not at all. IE is dumb on Javascript (since we have AJAX enabled)
