Board Updates Log Thread
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)Posted by: tesco
Because it was requested, this thread will serve as a log of all changes I make to the board, big or small.
If you need to discuss something go ahead. Keep in mind that after some time any posts other than ones stating board updates will be deleted or moved to a seperate thread, to keep this on-topic. ;)
Spoiler BBCodesJust finished changing all of the spoiler-style bbcodes.
They all now use built-in vbulletin javascript functions to hide/show text, instead of my code.
Something new though is that the spoiler tag now supports users with javascript disabled.
For users without javascript instead of getting the hide/show links they get a message saying to highlight the black area to see the spoiler, and the spoiler isn't hidden, it instead gets it's text colored black and a black background so the text can't be read.
New Heading BBCodeAlso added a new Heading bbcode.
It can be seen above
To use it the bbcode is
[heading]Heading

NZB Index UpdatesMore updates from today include changes to the NZB Index (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/nzbindex.php, did you know it was there?).
The new changes include highlighting of whether the thread is read or not, like we have in the forums, and a message that says if the NZB file has been downloaded. :)
I've also started working on something else new for the nzb index: favorites/reminders. You can set an nzb thread as a reminder to download the file later.
So far i've done a little coding in the background but nothing can be seen yet.

Found a bug in the NZB thing.
Once you choose a category, it saves it. The next time you return to the NZB section, members should be able to view all categories, but you must reset the categories which you wish to browse every time, back to "all".I know, the filter does the same thing. I don't know how to fix it. You have to close/reopen browser, or hit check-all in the filter.:lol:
NZB Index Download RemindersFinished the first part of my hack. You can add a reminder for NZBs by clicking the add reminder button: http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/arcade/addfav.gif
http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/nzbindex.php
Works using ajax, so you don't have to reload the page when you add/remove a reminder. :)
Posted by: tesco
Done.
NZB Index Download Reminders CompleteI've completed the second part of this hack. You can now show only NZB reminders by clicking a link that says 'My NZB Reminders' which is next to the filter and search dropdown links.

Arcade Welcome Message
This is the message displayed at the top of the Arcade homepage.
Never seen it before but edited anyway just incase :blink:

Board upgraded to 3.6.7.
Nothing new, just a security fix release.
Nice avatar hairbautt. :)

Fixed bug in NZB Posting that's been there for years...if the nzb age is in the future (diff time zone or something) then it sets the date to the current time so we don't get things like "Age -36min"
Posted by: tesco
Added a small fix to let vbulletin detect the new safari browser for windows.
Should fix some issues like popups/dropdowns not working.
Although I haven't tried the browser so i don't know if a problem existed or if it's fixed. :lol:

How 'bout the portal? Makin' the news shorter, but with more articles. :huh:

You da boss. :P Done.
Fixed a bug with the 'User most active in forum x with y posts' code that you can see in people's profiles.
It now takes into account forums where posts aren't counted (trash is currently the only one...that I know of :lol:) and whether or not you are able to view the forum they are most active in.
If the viewer doesn't have permission to view the forum that the user is most active in then nothing gets displayed. For example, members won't see team chat if one of the mods is most active there...

Sweet, thanks!
:w00t: (I always forget how cool the header thing is btw)
Posted by: tesco
Added an "Add NZB Reminder" link to NZB post pages under the download nzb link. :)
Will also be adding the links to nzb forum pages (skizo's request) at some point later in the week probably.
Posted by: tesco
Added CAPTCHA (enter string of letters/numbers to continue) for logins. This will stop (hopefully) the login hacking attempts.
Hopefully if the hack attempts stop for a while then we can remove the captcha in a couple of months and be back to normal. :)

Threads in the NZB forums now display nzb index as a link in the navigation at the top of the page.
(example: > FileSharing Talk (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/) > File Sharing (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-file-sharing-78/) > Newsgroups (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-newsgroups-79/) > NZB Index (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-nzb-index-109/) > TV NZBs (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-tv-nzbs-120/) > The Kite Runner DVDSCR XViD-CAMERA (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-tv-nzbs-120/t-the-kite-runner-dvdscr-xvid-camera-261540/))

so what did you fix just now?

The "Tags" thing I surmise, but when hovering over a thread I no longer get the preview.

Yeah same.
Posted by: tesco
The "Tags" thing I surmise, but when hovering over a thread I no longer get the preview.Try clearing your cache, the javascript files changed and that might be your problem.
I can see the preview in all skins.
Posted by: Skizo
I'll try that when I get back home.
The Friends list also appears to be missing from the "User CP" jumpbox.
Posted by: ChelSea
Cool add-ons :) , I LOVE FST
Posted by: kallieb
Ditto on the absent friends.:(
EDIT: Figured it out. You have to go to contacts and friends, and therein lies your original friend list. To get them listed on your main page again you need to check them all as "friend" and hit save. It will send out and request to each individual to confirm the request. Once confirmed, voila!
Posted by: Hairbautt
Awww, :( I was hoping for that new theme.
Posted by: Polarbear
thanks for the new profil and networking options, they look cool. and after kallieb's post i understand now that i have to reinvite my friends so to speak.
what i'm missing is the option in the statistics to see the most active section regarding postcounts.
not a big deal.
it was just interesting to see if a member has 98% of his posts in the invite section with one click.

Old was a hack.
So there's no way of saving the old friends list, you need to send a friend request to get a user as your friend.
As for 'user most active in...' that will be back shortly.

I'm confused by change but thanks looks cool. gotta get the hang of these albums/groups etc...
Posted by: Adama

thanks for making this forum better , i appriciate it very much

Cache didn't do it. Cleared cache for both IE and FF and neither were getting a preview, so I tried cookies and that did it.
I didn't look at which one; just cleared them all for FST.
EDIT: Damn, now it's gone again as the cookie is back. Any way to tell that particular cookie to feck off or is this something that needs fixing?
Posted by: Hairbautt
Is the visitor message thing gone? Cause I was totally enjoying that.

I was confused last night wen I saw those changes. But now I see what happened :happy:

Ditto on this. I was looking this morning for the visitor box feature. Please bring it back!!! It saves junking up my PM box.
Thanks lads,

Nah, BT-tards were abusing it.

Posted by: benchez
I can't edit a post or go advanced :dabs:
Posted by: ChelSea
cant see my rep points :( , how ?
Posted by: Hairbautt
Why does the frontpage (portal) drop-down menu thing now incorporate the right side column :unsure: VB White skin. Yes. I cleared my cache and pished the floppy among other things...
I didn't realize it 'til now, but someone approved :sly: a thread with quote tags in the NS (I always wondered what they did).

Don't think Rossco has updated this thread lately, but I have seen some changes popup on FST.
Like the Sections are reorganized...:dabs: These skins are totally kick-ass tho'.
Posted by: tesco
uhh changes changes...
This goes back to a while ago:
- Changed the way filters work in the nzb index (nothing interesting for you guys).
- Added option to SAVE a filter so that every time you view the index it shows your custom nzb types.
- Changed the way nzb posting works to make it MUCH more reliable, and was able to shorten the code (not that you guys care, again). Also fixed the NFO fetching (automatic) because it has been broken for a long long time.
- Fixed some skin bugs
- Started to work on the new submit news system.
- A couple weeks ago we got a faster hard drive put into the server.
- Soon i'll be upgrading the board to vb 3.7 b6

New stuff from today....
- Changed the 'pages' icon in thread lists, and removed the rbackets around the page numbers
- Changed the 'go to last post' icon in thread lists
- Change the 'go to new post' icon in thread lists
- Changed the thread rating icons to mini versions of the stars used in our user ranks
- Updated the images in the 'user cp' dropdown box at the top of the page to match the new icons that I put in the user cp links a few weeks ago
- Added icons showing if a user is male/female (if they set it in profile) next to their name, only in the default skin right now...
- Also I changed the little username link under thread titles (thread poster) to a real link. The way it was before annoyed me because I couldn't middle-click it to open in a new tab.

How come age is no longer displayed even when your profile is set to "display age."
Latest FF, vBulletins 3 Colors skin. Apparently it's like that for all skins.
