Let me know if you spot any funnies... (besides Zoom)

The changes are mostly bug fixes and backend stuff to do with customizing styles. (It used to be ok in vb3 and they made it a nightmare in vb4, now they hopefully fixed that)

The mention tag thingy not working in tapatalk. When you open a thread it shows [mention]name [/mention...

On my home page, beneath rep points, where the little green bars used to show... it now says "array"

azurekoi
19-01-2012, 17:26
Also noticed that one.... Other change is that when you click on a thumbnail picture,you now need to physically click the Close button - cant just click off photo or roll your mousewheel....

Zoom
19-01-2012, 18:34
Paragraphs are not being broken up on tapatalk either. Everyone's posts are extremely long and laborious to read now.

This upgrade has more bugs than it fixed.

Make it right Rory

Zoom
19-01-2012, 18:37
No man... this upgrade is (excrement).

Roll back.

Sean J
19-01-2012, 18:56
On the PM system all the names appear as Array. Also, the page is REALLY wide, on all pages. You can scroll right for ages...

LOL! azurekoi - Moderating the moderators??? :amazed:

azurekoi
19-01-2012, 19:24
lol Sean J.... think Zoom thought he was in our mod forum...lol.... Also Rory My search "Go" button is gone... annoying....

I also got a lot of pm's from array

Vez

haha, did not even see this, sorry Rory ignore the PM then lol

Zoom
19-01-2012, 20:05
Nee man shawn. Stop moderating me.

This upgrade is pure garbage. Did the people from vbulletin even test it? Or were they just making themselves look busy by writing twak upgrades in order to keep their jobs.

Roll back to previous version mr admin. (Rory) As my dad use to say, 'if its working and not broked, don't fiddle Ashley!!!'

Kuhli Loach
20-01-2012, 05:56
Viewing the pages on my Ipad has become a nightmare. I use to just scroll down the home page, now the complete home page appears and you have to zoom in to be able to read the posts. Don't like this "upgrade" at all. Seems to have more bugs than my back garden.

tracyp
20-01-2012, 06:22
:sad2: the smilies have gone funny too... & pretty puhlease, can we get a "hats off" smiley?

Rory
20-01-2012, 08:02
Kuhli Loach were you perhaps on the mobile theme before and now on the full theme? You can switch to mobile at the bottom left.

Re the "Array" issue I'll have to fiddle with each respective template.

Tapatalk issues - I upgraded tapatalk as well. I will probably roll back to a previous version of tapatalk on the server.

Jenn
20-01-2012, 08:10
Other change is that when you click on a thumbnail picture,you now need to physically click the Close button - cant just click off photo or roll your mousewheel....

I think that's an improvement.

Hip Hip "Array" lol i see its gone! Thanks Rory

Vez
20-01-2012, 08:46
i see that the screen size is still out? and that we cannot see online members.

Rory
20-01-2012, 08:49
Are you using IE9 Vez?

Yes the Array in the PM's is fixed. It was caused by the "PM Preview" plugin that shows you the first bit of text in the pm. The problem is that the templates for the plugin were made for an older version of vB so if I disabled the plugin then they would use the normal templates but then there's no preview. I updated the templates from the PM Preview plugin so now it's all hunky dory again.

The whole homepage is generated by a plugin called vba cmps. I upgraded that and the Array thing is fixed. Not sure whats going on with the online users bit though.

Vez
20-01-2012, 08:53
Yip i think so?

When I use my galaxy tablet now to view the full website it loads very small for some reason and I have to zoom in on every page to read anything. Never did this before.

Zoom
24-01-2012, 10:50
Charlie... when you load TASA next time... scroll right down to the bottom. There's a drop down menu where you can select TASA or Mobile. Select Mobile.. it should fix it.

Alternately, get a program called TapaTalk from the Market. Once you have used this you will NEVER use the galaxy browser again for forum work.

CharlieB

Zoom, ok great! Have been toying with the idea of getting Tapatalk but wasnt sure if it was worth buying it seems very popular so I must just get it.

For any sort of "mobile" viewing tapatalk is highly recommended. Uses less data than browsing the page as well as it just has to load the posts, not the whole page. Well worth the R20 or so. There's a free version for android and iOS but you can't post, only read.

While you are digging around in the internals, how about a shortcut to Subscribed Threads on the Home page, like under Quick Links on the Forum page?

Tapatalk doesn't load the pictures anymore like it use to. Now I have to download every picture to view it. This is since the upgrade. (PUSH ENTER TWICE NOW)

So Upgrade has resulted in no more paragraph spacing on Tapatalk AND PC (Opera). It doesn't allow tapatalk views to VIEW the pictures without downloading first and viewing in the gallary. The members online is no longer visible. And mentions as well as quotes is still shown as [Mention] and [quote] format. (PUSH ENTER TWICE AGAIN)

Thus this upgrade is PATHETIC.

Rory, I am sorry to be the one to bring it up, but I think the 'View Count' is broken.On the home page? If I recall correctly that only updates once an hour, so it will often be different to the view count on the forums page, if you check in an hours time it should have changed. :)

TomK
01-02-2012, 12:10
OK, I see it did update with a jump.

So how to keep Rory busy?

How about that 'Quick Links" I talked about to be on the Home Page as well, like on the Forum page?

01-02-2012, 17:53

Tapatalk looks like it is fixed.

BTW Rory... remember we all bragged we had hit two hundred and ninety something members online at once the other day?? That is incorrect. It's counting guests as online instead of just members logged in.

Thought someone should know that the mobile version is pretty buggy, unless it's my phone's browser. I use a Nokia E63 smartphone with Opera browser and was trying to post a forum topic yesterday. I tried on two separate occassions, but every time I hit "submit new thread", I'd get an error that my message was too short (error: your message must be more than 6 characters long), and lo and behold! my entire message had been wiped. This got rather annoying after I'd done it twice, and so I gave up with it and posted the topic today when I had internet access. I can post forum replies just fine though. Anyone experienced a similar problem or is it just me?

Willem
13-02-2012, 16:03

Clear cookies.
Clear cache
Reset history
Try again

Rory

What Zoom said. Don't think clearing history will do anything. Just cache/cookies.

TomK
13-03-2012, 11:07
Rory, looks like it is an Opera thing. You got me over to Opera, so I hope you find the problem! IE is fine and keep me logged in. I used the 'delete all private data' option under tools, but the problem persists. You will see it includes cookies, cache and a whole lot more. What else can I do?

TomK
13-03-2012, 11:23
OK, same browser, different PC, problem gone. So do I un-install Opera and re-install? Will try that if no other option, I have my bookmarks just the way I like them. Or suppose I can export and import again.

Wyvren
13-03-2012, 11:40
Just export and import your bookmarks. And do a reinstall of Opera.

Rory
13-03-2012, 11:47
Did you go to "detailed" and see what private data it's deleted? Make sure all cookies and entire cache are checked. Also close any tasa windows when you do it.

TomK
13-03-2012, 13:58
Did you go to "detailed" and see what private data it's deleted?
Yes, did it the first time allready. Everything checked, except email passwords. Still having the same problem. When I go bak to the Home Page, I am logged out. I have not have time yet to re-install Opera. Will try that later.
