Having major problems with updated forum using firefox -- It looks great on IE though.
The menus, which should be in the upper right corner, appear along the left side, overlapping everything.
If I know how to post pictures, I would...

[gmx]

i can't get the search function to work.

Everything I search returns no matches whereas before the update I'd get lots of results.

Are you using the "Advanced Forum Search"?

[ItsDubC]

Not really sure if this should go in the Forum Bug Report thread, as it applies to the entire site. Just a minor bug: The Audizine logo in the top-left is overlapping the navigation bar below it. The image size seems to be fine, it's just that Firefox is rendering it w/ a space between it and the very top of the browser window. The code that places the image along the very top of the browser window works fine in IE as I had suspected, tho there are some different rendering issues using that browser.

Firefox 3.5.7 - PC - Windows XP SP3

Great updates btw!

[Seerlah]

I am not sure if this is the proper place to post, but I am sure opinions are always appreciated. The new format is sort of..............wack. And I only use the term "wack" when something is really...........wack (like it belongs back in the 90s)[:p].

It's like a mix of the old AW format and something else. I know that many AW members found their way over here after AW changed their format, and making them happy is def a noble thing to do (if that was the intention). But the new format is just something that maybe I will just need to get accustomed to. Or maybe you are going to add a few more touch ups. And by a few, I mean a lot. I just feel that this new format was a step backwards, and not forwards. Either way, I'm not going anywhere[cool].

[SoCalS4Avant]

I've not had any problems with Firefox. I see the same things whether I use FF or IE.

I noticed that the new user registration is down at the moment. Not sure it's a bug, or just something you have turned off.

[Seerlah]

No spaces in between paragraphs can make it into one big mess. Only way it seems to distinguish where one ends and another starts is if there is a space at the end of a sentence.

Hmm, or maybe it's just this way on my computer and others view it differrently. My computer is funny like that, sometimes.

[jrok24k]

this is a dumb question but where is the log in/out funtion, i had to log in by clicking reply to thread/ make a new thread? I also can't find the search bar lol

[SoCalS4Avant]

^ Up top on the left hand side - just below the AZ logo.

[tomlafS4]

It's up on the top right, by the quick links and settings

[SoCalS4Avant]

Noticed the smilies aren't working exactly. Some do - but not all. Also, if you look at my sig, you can se the infamous red-x where the "S4" used to be.

[hoppy6698]

Few issues using Firefox.

1 - Not sure what is causing it, but the long posts in threads don't break where the sentence/thought ends and return in paragraph form. (ie. my window used to be able to read a thread without resizing the window, but now I have to side scroll to read things)

2 - Quick reply option appears missing? Not sure if intentional, but I liked the feature.

[jrok24k]

thanks guys all is well now haha

[ItsDubC]

Previous issue I posted about the logo placement seems to have been fixed. Nice turnaround time!

Onto another issue - has image resizing been disabled or is there a setting related to that that I haven't set? I noticed a thread that has a rather large image attached to one of the posts and its width is governing the width of the UI, which wouldn't be a problem if the image were automatically resized down.

Also, quick question. Have we officially done away w/ the rep system?

Again, Firefox 3.5.7 - PC - Windows XP SP3

[tomlafS4]

My only bitch is that the individual posts inside the threads aren't date/time stamped. I don't wanna be necrobumping left and right, so is there any chance we can get that back?

[EBG 18T]

i can't figure out how to go back to the same forum after i make a post. I have to go back to the main forum list and then back into the forum i was veiwing orginally. makes you not want to post since it is hard to go back to firum after posting.. am i missing something simple?

[gmx]

Are you using the "Advanced Forum Search"?

http://www.audizine.com/forum/search.php?search_type=1#ads=1
That as well.

I tried searching something as simple as "timing" for the keyword and nothing comes up.
well the error message is the standard, "no matching terms, please try other" etc.

[tomlafS4]

No....the breadcrumb feature is missing at the moment...it'll be back

This was another thing I was going to mention later on, but it's more of a usability issue than a bug. There is no longer a "breadcrumb" displayed at the top of the page to allow you to quickly see all of the latest threads in the current forum, and that was something I used often. Not particularly a deal-breaker for me; I just figured it'd be something I'd have to get used to but it would be nice to have it back since there is room to add it to the left of the current thread title.

Also, another minor bug. Some of the emoticon images aren't showing up, I assume either because their respective links are broken or because they haven't been uploaded. Here's a screenshot w/ what I'm talking about circled in red:

[vortexjunkie]

Your drop downs at the top of the page are hidden by the advertisement when you want to drop them down....
Is there a way to make it so i do not have to scroll back and fourth on posts?
Why cant i find my Rep or +Rep system but i still see a violation that i received for a mix up
Where is my previously posted in topics ie i post in this i will need to search for the thread again i cant just go to previous or search all posts made by.

[A4 TSCHUSS]

I have this problem too and totally agree, it just just throws it into one big jumble. Also not sure how I like all the test being wrapped in a box, especially since the signatures are also in a box and some are confusing if it actually text of the post or is someones sig, where before it was all all under a line for the sig which I believe was better to differentiate it from the post.

Agreed 100% - I hate the way replies and sigs are boxed - it makes it confusing and cluttered

also, these problems I am having with firefox are basically making the forums unusable (I have to go through IE)
here are pics of what I'm talking about

^NPuter, if you're using a theme, does disabling it fix your display issues? If you're not using a theme, disregard this post [:D]

[tomlafS4]

Where is my previously posted in topics ie i post in this i will need to search for the thread again i cant just go to previous or search all posts made by.

1. Click on your sn
2. Click View Profile
3. View all posts is right there



Why cant i find my Rep or +Rep system but i still see a violation that i received for a mix up

Rep system was done away with. Violations and reps/negative reps do not go hand in hand. Rep was based on people's opinions of you, while the violation(s) you received are due to violations of the terms of use

[Banan]

Onto another issue - has image resizing been disabled or is there a setting related to that that I haven't set? I noticed a thread that has a rather large image attached to one of the posts and its width is governing the width of the UI, which wouldn't be a problem if the image were automatically resized down.

This one is really annoying, is there a way to get it back? Not a fan of the "Reply With Quote"-box popping up in the middle of the thread either.
Regarding the rest it's just a matter of getting used to =)


1. Click on your sn
2. Click View Profile
3. View all posts is right there


Problem is, as of now only new posts made after the change is shown this way, atleast for me.

[NPuter]

cool - we now have navigation at the top of the page [up]

[EBG 18T]

everything is so wide.. i need to scroll across my screen to see the right side..

[Capt. Obvious]

I'm using IE7 and besides some of the stuff already mentioned I have two more gripes:

1. If your mouse is over an iFrame on the page, ALL of the text on the page underlines. [:|]

2. It doesn't show how many new PMs you have, just the total number of messages in your inbox.


The new site looks nice though, once all of the bugs are worked out it will be a big improvement. [up]

[NPuter]

everything is so wide.. i need to scroll across my screen to see the right side..

that is because the form widens to accommodate the large images - the old version automatically resized them to make sure that didn't happen...

and there are no more boxes around the text in replies [up]

and we can have spaces between lines of text now too...

[tomlafS4]

It's getting better and better by the hour. When the tinkering is done, I think we'll all be happy

[A4 TSCHUSS]

Yeah that scrolling back and forth in this thread is annoying due to someone posting the screen shots above that are making it to wide. Also when I am typing I get a ton of words typed and see nothing showing up, so I then have to stop typing and let it pop up to see what I have typed and if I have screwed up anything. I guess you can say a big delay in the words showing up.

[nagle10]

Your drop downs at the top of the page are hidden by the advertisement when you want to drop them down....

If you try to log in on a page with an ad at the top, the ad covers the sign in box.

[Slow4]

YA!!!! My issues (as well as others) are getting addressed.

Drop down menu thingy is working now too.
What about the "+ reply to thread" button at the top left under the forum path? Looks out of place.
Horizontally big on screen but nothing the zoom option can't fix.

Other than that "complaint", Im slowly adjusting to the better change.

Looks good.
Like the profile page setup.
Like the AZ title badge or whatever its called.
Like the sig display at the bottom of the reply submits.
Like the in-thread "Quote Reply" thing too, I don't have to scroll all the way down to paste what I copied.
Like the overall facelift

[up]

Sug had that same problem too....I haven't had any lag issues as of yet. I wonder why it's happening

[VR2V8]

I noticed in the B6/B7 S4/RS4 forum that the Forum Tools dropdown box does not work correctly. I drop it down and click Mark This Forum Read and nothing happens. The dropdown box gets stuck open as well. The threads are not marked read until after I refresh the page. I've only noticed this in that particular forum, it works correctly in the B8 A5/S5 forum.


Edit: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit & IE8

[Seerlah]

The classified section needs to be placed into the "intensive care" unit. That place looks hurt.

[forevraudi]

Images not downscaling is a big problem IMO. Also, where did the individual rep disappear to?

[ItsDubC]

2. It doesn't show how many new PMs you have, just the total number of messages in your inbox.


I sent myself a PM just to see if the notification at the top of the page changed to indicate that a new PM was waiting, and it didn't. I definitely agree; a new PM notification is far more important than a count of how many total PMs you have. Speaking of counts, I fear that having the postcount under everyone's avatar next to each of their posts may encourage garbage-posting for some just to up their count.

[Slow4]

If you go to your settings, you can check the PM POP-UP notification option that it offers you. I did it but I haven't tested it out yet.

[MichaelC]

I like the new changes and functionality, thanks.

However, my avatar no longer displays. If I go to the page where I can select/edit it, I get boxes with a red x in them instead of an image.

Settings -> Forum Settings (Options are on right side of browser towards bottom) -> PM Pop-up Notification -> Check it.

Send me a PM to see if it works for me as well

[Sharkfin]

Anthony, do you already know of the logo problem with safari? Top left one...

[Alkivar]

image should have been fixed, try refreshing all content.

[Alkivar]

Anthony see whats going on in this thread around post 24: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?342721-Undercar-LED-strobes

seems due to "-->" in a post its broken reply tagging and centered all text?

[Sharkfin]

Yeah the logo issue is now fixed, here are my other issues:

1. homepage is not as wide as the forums, might want to update that
2. the quick reply in the classifieds ads is all jumbled up instead of in a line like the forum quick reply
3. the classifieds also have poor formatting next to the first/main image of each ad
4. I've selected EST as my time but in the homepage is says PST time
5. When you click the "reply to thread" at the top of each thread it takes you into a new screen with editing the title as an option, what's that mean?

[Quattro]

not sure if this a bug, but when going into the sig section, I can't see any photos for stock avatars....

[Anthony]

1) You mean www.audizine.com? If so, that's intentional.
2) and 3) We're aware of the Classifieds issues, and will be fixing.
4) Odd, will look into that one.
5) The title option is really more for linear thread viewing, such as how KAWF displays.

[Justincredible]

There is no report button?

And I do think we need to have something incorporated to help show the difference between what someone is posting and there sig, this is in some cases very hard to see

[Quattro]

when trying to edit my sig again, since I have a hyperlink it does not let me edit the link...

just shows the full link already clickable.

[Anthony]

The report button is the little warning triangle below every post.

[S4jet]

I was unable to see picture hosted on AZ in a thread.
Also pressing Alt-S doesn't post my quick reply like it says it should (when you put your mouse over the button). Same applies with Alt-X for Go Advanced.

[Peoples-2]

The function "Find More Posts" for a specific user name does not work. It tells me there are no results when this can't be possible.

[anpk05]

I can't read the post by Anthony "Details about the recent Audizine upgrades! " it tells me to contact admin??????

Also when typing, it so slow.

[Sharkfin]

Two more things.

1. Is there a reason that links are not longer underlined? They are hard to differentiate between just typing
2. Is there anyway to make the border for the sig box more defined? The signatures look like part of the posts everytime

[ImaVunDerBrah]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before --

When I come to AZ, it says "Welcome, Imavunderbrah" in the top left w/ my Message count.. but then if I try to do something that requires a login (view profile, view GCC, reply to a thread, etc.) it tells me that I'm not actually logged in. The system thinks I'm logged in (?) but then makes me log in again.

I'm using Firefox on OS X 10.5.8

[ImaVunDerBrah]

And does everyone else see the double text in my post above? When I go to edit, the text is only there once.

[kwimberly]

Two more things.

1. Is there a reason that links are not longer underlined? They are hard to differentiate between just typing

x2

Defeats the purpose of adding useful hyperlinks to posts if you can't see them. Makes me appreciate Oldguy's "clicky click!!"

Also, when I click on my vertical scroll area (Firefox) - not the actual scroll handle, but the empty vertical scroll space underneath the handle - the area that lets you jump down one screen - it actually jumps two screens at a time instead of one.

[Anthony]

That's all the fixes for tonight. More coming tomorrow!

[Go_S4]

I really think the site looks to cartoonish, makes the site look less professional and serious... just my opinion.

[scot_w]

1. It used to be when I read a forum and then left the site for a while, the old posts would be in a read state when I returned, now they are not which brings me to #2 . . .
2. The mark forum read function does not work.
3. Even when I am logged in (based on the log-out button being enabled), when I post a reply I have to log in again to post. And yes I have checked the remember me box.
4. On my 22" wide screen I have to scroll sideways to read everything on the post a new thread or reply pages. Missing some CSS tags for centering?

[Seerlah]

The new upgrade also has the Wiki formats messed up. I am one of the guys whom came up with some of the ways to format the B5 A4 Wiki (took it upon myself). Everything was spaced out nice and formatted to make it very easy for people to educate themselves on the vehicle. But now, it looks like one big cluster. Just wanted to bring it to your attention, if it has not been yet.

[Sharkfin]

I'm glad you fixed the sig thing, that was a big problem.

EDIT: Since you took away the rep system, why have you now taken away the posts showing up below our avatars?

[audirs]

audizine banner bar overlaps account info bar

Your browser is using the cached version of the Audizine logo, which is old. Try holding Shift and then hitting refresh to see if that helps.

[abasichapman]

Using safari on mac osx 10.4.11. I have to log in almost every time I want to do something. Very annoying.

[audirs]

thanks! didnt even realize that was cached

[norcatalyst126]

why is everything underlined???....this is driving me nuts....

and i can't view any IMG's other people have embedded in their posts....

http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=TsdPn1S

Using Windows XP Pro SP2 and IE7 (at work)

[Matt@EuropaParts]

OS: XP something or other
Browser: AOL/Google Chrome

1) All the text has a red underline, but the links don't.
2) There doesn't seem to be a line breaking up threads in the forum (so for example, in the B6 A4 forum, its a white background and all the text is listed in a line, but there's no line marking what is one post and what's the next).
3) When I scroll over to click on the next page, the boxy thing on the left where the avatar is, reply with quote, etc, all the text on the posts disappears.

And a personal request...any chance you can either get rid of or widen the border on the side of the page? I think that's contributing to the hard-to-read factor (because its embossed w/ the shadow...it keeps drawing my eyes away).

But I have to say, last nights changes made a big difference. HTH...

[Sharkfin]

I agree with Matt, the white border could be a little smaller on the sides

[norcatalyst126]

1) All the text has a red underline, but the links don't.


woohoo....i'm not the only one seeing this....it's giving me a headache....

I just checked this on my iPhone and all looks good.....

[MikeWire]

Looks good so far.

My only wish is that you can bring back the button at the bottom of each forum view page that takes you back to the main sub forum. Example, viewing a thread in the B6 forum, done reading, and at the bottom of the page, hit the button to return to the B6 forum. It's now the Quick Nav in vB4 - but it's too hard to navigate. A simple button like before is the best way to jump back.

Also, the "Audizine Forums" link in the footer takes you back to the main index, not the forum index:

http://bigskyeuro.com/images/gallery/mikewire/various/az1.jpg


Overall I think it's well done and the updated look is well done. Ive been through a few major version forum upgrades on my local board (I'm the admin) and from that experience I can say there will be that percentage that will not like it (HATE IT!) at first but then they will forget about it after a couple of weeks. I would feel free to remind all the complainers that the site is still free to use and post on with minimal ads and the community is #1.

Great job to all!

[JMG]

In some threads, when quoting someone, it seems like the signature text is being carried onto the quoted text (probably via the php coding) and a div is either left open or unintentionally closed, resulting in the users signature text being displayed under the post that is quoting them. This leads to a div formatting issue where all of the following posts are wider, taking up the entire horizontal space within the containing div, which usually has padding for all other posts. You can see the beginning of the problem when the report, reply, reply with quote buttons start to get messed up. It's usually the author of that post whose signature that appears later, messing up the formatting.

[justinperkins]

Not sure if this has been mentioned before --

I'm using Firefox on OS X 10.5.8

Same thing is happening to me. It has been happening since yesterday. I'm using Safari on OS X 10.5.8.

[jstilt]

I too am seeing the red line under everything. how do I fix that? I went through my options but didn't see anything.

opinion...........i am NOT to happy with the change. seems cluttered and confusing. I understand the upgrade so the site runs smoother and faster but why couldn't we keep the look the same? I guess I am one of those guys thats is...."if it's not broke then don't try and fix it".

[Anthony]

We're aware that some browsers are showing all text as red and underlined. We're working on a fix.

[dannyj777]

I wish the quotes weren't in italics. Any way to change this? It's making it harder to read than the old way. They are already in a bubble so I don't think it makes it hard to differentiate. just my $.02.

Everything else seems to be fine.

[SugarTTRS]

ok this was strange. there was an advertising ad covering the log in box, so to get around that, i went to a thread and hit the reply icon. it then prompted me to login, so i did and was able to post in all threads, and my name appeared at the bottom in the users logged in......BUT, the top bar still said "log in" instead of my user name and the bar at the top with the "new posts, forum search, help, calendar, etc etc" was not present, so to that extent, the system did not see me as logged in.

i happen to hit "log in" and since there was no advertising box blocking it, i logged in again. now i see my user name and icons on the bar.

just strange how it doesn't fully recognize you as logged in unless you do in in the upper left on the main page.

[MikeWire]

Sugar, I think clearing temp files and cookies would alleviate the login issues. That clears all old hanging login sessions and make way for new. It should also clear up any problems with the old AZ logo showing up, and other old "pre-upgrade" images.

Depending on if you use IE, FF or Safari there are different ways to do that.

IE: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Delete-temporary-Internet-files

FF (v3.5+): http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=381674&forumId=1

Safari: http://support.verio.com/documents/view_article.cfm?doc_id=4069

[SugarTTRS]

my comp is set to clear history, temp files, cookies, etc each time i log out. there shouldn't have been many of those there to begin with, but i'll try that next time if it happens, thanks (i'm IE)

[ASpec818]

Why is EVERYTHING underlined in the forums? This makes it a lot harder to read. The previous version was a lot more clean.

[Seerlah]

Not sure if it has been brought up or not (pardon, as I was too lazy to read the other posts), but the options at the top with scroll down menus cut behind the Advertiser banners. Once the scroll down opion things opens up, it cuts behind the banners.

Ok, just noticed it does not do it on all of them. For example, there is no problem with the Tirerack one, as the drop down menus drop down in front. But for the Integrated Engineering one, it cuts behind. My PC does not permit me to screen shot print (unless there is some secret way, as I am not too comoputer savy), so I can not show you what I mean.

Edit: Ohh, the power of Google (this pic is of Integrated Engineering, but does not happen on others)

Why is EVERYTHING underlined in the forums? This makes it a lot harder to read. The previous version was a lot more clean.

That obviously wasn't intentional. Seems to be a CSS issue with certain browsers, mainly older ones (and especially IE).

Anyone else see all the text centered from post 77 down? Looks like the div error I was trying to explain earlier. Look at Justin's sig.

Edit: THat was weird. As soon as I submitted this post, it appeared right under post 77 instead of at the bottom of the thread. I hit refresh and it fixed it.

The maximum size for the avatars is 160px by 80px. If you upload a 160 x 80 pic, on all of the user's posts the avatars are scaled to 157 by 79, lowering the quality of the image. There is also a 3px border around all of the avatars. We didn't have that before, and I think it looks better without it (that's just my opinion though!)

I'm still undecided about the border around the avatar. It might go away. Wasn't aware that the avatars are being resized. I'll look into that.

[ItsDubC]

While it was fancy and looked cool when it worked, we're gonna just KISS.

KISS [up]

Speaking of KISS, how does everyone feel about removing the "Posted By" text that precedes each thread OP's username under the thread title for the sake of reducing clutter? For example:

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu187/ItsDubC/Audizine%20-%20Miscellaneous/noPostedBy.jpg

Right now on the site, every single thread title above has "Posted By [OP's username]" below it. Seeing "Posted By" everywhere is a bit redundant and detracts from the "scanability" of the page IMHO. What does everyone think? If I remember correctly, the old version of the site had it like this.

btw, glad to see the New Message notification for PMs is now live instead of the message count. Nice job Audizine staff! [up]

I am having problems when trying to PM. The smileys box covers about 1/3 of the text box. Also the classifieds isnt loading fully for me.

[ItsDubC]

Here's a new one (at least for me):

When you go to edit a post and you want to insert an emoticon that doesn't already appear on the page next to the edit field, clicking the [More] button under the emoticons doesn't bring up the expanded emoticon selection (which, in the old version, popped up in a new window). I believe it's a Javascript error.

My notes from last night:
http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?343671-Input-on-the-new-site&p=4910439&viewfull=1#post4910439




I am not liking it one bit.

It looks too much like every other forum out there now-a-days.

I liked the older format, visually, because it looked different and sophisticated.


Strangely enough, the more I spend reading the 'new' AZ the more the 'look' does not bother me. The colors could be revamped. The look of other forums (eurodiction or somthing like that) that people keep comparing actually looks like dogshit to me.

Above all, the navigation features bother me. It is a bit more difficult to get around right now.

Here's my list thus far after spending about an hour or two on the 'site:
~ quick link at the bottom is back but I have not found a way to click without having to scroll for the forum I was just in. The forum I was just in is shown but the quick link won't take me there with one click. I have to click.. get the pull-down menu. scroll to the previous forum.. and then click to accept the change

~ can not see how many unread messages I have in my inbox without having to physically go to my inbox.

~ Audizine image logo in the upper left overlaps with my name and inbox links.

~ replying to private messages brings up a giant left hand column that shows the user's info (same info provided in a thread). This takes up more space than the text.

~ advanced reply to window does not autosize horizontally. as I am typing this, Firefox (ver 3.5.7 on a PC) continues to scroll to the right until I reach the end of the line.

~ would like to see user ID number in the information provided for the user next to their posts in threads

~ Feels slow in loading on both my computers (PC and iBook G4) here at home. Felt slow at work too. I hope this new update does not require more memory and/or more information to download during a page loading

another thing I noticed about the PMs is pictures which are linked using the [img] tag do not auto-size and actually protrude beyond the forms for the page.



New messages is ontop of the forum now. Thanks anthony! [up]

[Seerlah]

I was wondering if you could maybe make the stickies in the sub-forums smaller than the regular threads? It is just that it gets annoying having to scroll down so far to reach the regular thread topics. if the stickies threads were smaller, then one would not need to scroll down so far to reach the regular forum threads.

I just tried to upload a pic to my gallery, and the text and background are white, so you can't read anything.

[CyberPMG]

It seems to be correct about a general CSS issue with older browsers. At home I have no problems using the latest version of FireFox and Windos XP. Here at work, I have IE 7 and Windows XP. Everything is underlined. Every post in every forum. Every PM. The Wiki pages are all underlined. Even at the main Forums page or subforum page. This issue is not happening with the News pages. Classifieds section looks like it blew up (no images displayed, no formatting, red x's overlaying text, etc.). The navigation bar in the Store is not being built properly (no issues in displaying items).

The search function also looks like that for me, also. My OS is Windows XP and running on IE7.

To make things simpler, the only issues besides sprucing up the format a bit would include the underlined wordings, classifieds looking like crap, wiki format being compromised, and the search function looking like a couple posts above.

Here is the Wiki section for the B5 A4. Under each bold heading, there are also subcategories. Some of those subcategories could have subcategories. And then some of the links just blend into the rest of the cluster, which can not even be seen.

In Firefox 3.6 (Windows XP and Windows Server 2003), a recent post of mine is rendered as if I duplicated the images and latter portion of text.

I can do a print to PDF to show you what I mean if you can't duplicate the problem. I've duplicated it on two machines so it should be pretty easy to see what I'm talking about.

Thanks! Keep up the great work... these kind of transitions suck, and as much as the users think it sucks for them, I know how much worse it is on the admin side of things. Remember that people are only upset because they love this place, so keep plugging away and knowing it's a worthwhile pain in the ass. [;)]

Thanks, Jason. [up] There should be a new software patch in a few days which will hopefully fix some of the duplicating issues.

[SoCalS4Avant]

The report post feature is falling down...down...down...below the box.

[dougyfresh]

~ sometimes a post in the middle of a thread has the quick reply buttons on it rather than having that at the very bottom.

~ when you click on the (") of a quote after the user's name it used to take you back to where that quote came from. Now it just loads the *.gif of that quotation mark

~ still can't just click on the item in the quick navigation to reload that forum. Try clicking on 'feedback forum'. It gives you a pull-down menu but doesn't directly take you to the feedback forum.

That's what I just came to report. [up]

Also, the "quick navigation" at the bottom of the pages isn't so quick. It was nice when you could just go back to the forum you were in via the link at the bottom of the page instead of having to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page.

[ItsDubC]

I know the AZ staff is working primarily on major fixes at the moment but I thought I might make some suggestions for them to consider and to see what others might think. Aside from removing the "Posted By" text preceding OP user names under thread titles to reduce clutter and increase page "scanability", I think that increasing the column width allocated to thread titles, reducing the column width for "Last Post By", and switching the "Last Post By" column position w/ the "Replies / Views" column would increase usability. Here's what I mean:

http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu187/ItsDubC/Audizine%20-%20Miscellaneous/forumLayout.jpg

Widening the thread title column has the obvious advantage of fitting longer thread titles w/out having to go to another line. Currently, I don't think the "Last Post By" column needs to be as wide as it is, even w/ increasing my browser's text size. But the more important change here is that the "Last Post By" column is right next to the thread title column. Since this column contains items that are clickable and the "Replies / Views" column does not, I think it'd be more efficient to move the "Replies / Views" column off to the far-right.

Again, these are just suggestions. If there is good reason to keep the current layout, then that's cool w/ me.

As for a bug, I noticed that when you create a post and you go into advanced mode, the auto image-resizing no longer works and therefore the message field becomes too wide to fit on the screen in some cases. Firefox 3.5.7/Win XP SP3

[justinperkins]

Bugs/Feedback/Critiques/Ideas:

1) The "Jump to last post" feature is broken. The URL looks correct when you click on it, but then there's a redirect to the new forum URL scheme which removes the anchor (hash tag). You cannot do redirects with hash tags in them, they will be lost on the server.
2) The dark grey meta info box on the left of each post is too wide. It reduces the space the post can utilize, therefore fitting less real content on the page.
3) The text in the meta info box for a user is too big (same box mentioned above).
4) The text in the post area is too big.
5) The meta info in a thread listing is too big. There is no reason that "Posted by foobar" should be 12px font size. Same goes for the rest of the meta info such as Replies, Views, Last Post By.
6) The Replies/Views column and Last Post By columns are too wide.
7) There should be a hover effect when you hover over the thread title in the thread listing. It's tough to see if you're clicking on the thread or the thread creator's profile, since there is about a 1 pixel margin between the two and neither link has a hover effect (aside from the tooltip, which doesn't give immediate feedback).
8) The thread icons. Too glossy, too big, too shiny, too drop-shadow-y. The only thing you're missing is the extremely played out mirror effect.

[Capt. Obvious]

I second everything Justin just said. Thanks for saving me the effort of typing all that. [:)]

In the same vein of what he said, overall the new site is great, but it's new and glossy to a fault. It's much more difficult to scan now and looks kinda cartoonish. I think with a bit more tweaking it will look awesome and be very user friendly.

[Capt. Obvious]

Oh, and one more thing: I miss the old way that oversize pictures were resized. I hate having to open and close popup windows. And the new resizing pixelates and ruins the pics really bad. [:(]

[ItsDubC]

The color-picker in post-authoring or sig edit acts a bit weird but it's still functional. Everytime you mouseover a particular color, the entire palette seems to rearrange. Again, Firefox 3.5.7/Win XP SP3

[Anthony]

We already decreased the size of the user info cell by 20 pixels. It's now just wide enough to fit a full size avatar.

As for the icons, the old ones badly needed an update. It's 2010! [cool]

The forum layout and thread listings will continue to be improved upon.

[justinperkins]

It's now just wide enough to fit a full size avatar.

That it? You're chewing up all that real estate (50 pixels * height of the page = A LOT) for g-strings, cleavage, cartoons, or whatever other asinine things that people use as their avatar? I disable avatars on the forums because they are useless and often inappropriate (work, coffee shops, etc).

But the icons are the only glossy thing on the page. There's no other button, link, image, or anything of any kind that even remotely resembles the look those thread icons. That's all I'm really getting at I guess. That's why a lot of people are saying it clashes.

[Anthony]

Yes that's it. That section is no larger than it was on the old format. I am, however, thinking of decreasing the left and right side margins 25-50% to increase the real estate.

The icons match the Audizine logo. Also, the new coded buttons and headings have a shade or shadow to them as well.

I really hope you decide to do this. I was never a proponent for a mobile AZ site because the old one was very easy to browse on the iPhone, but this version is really really tough to navigate. I think a margin decrease/main column increase would make things at least a little easier.

My only other gripe with the new layout - in the upper left corner, the username links to our profile, which I find... odd. Do people really click to view their own profiles? Can this be remapped to click to our User CP? I'm used to going to the top left for User CP and now the only way I know to access it is by going Quick Links -> User Control Panel. Its just not intuitive and, because of the hover action, is finicky to use on a phone.

Clearly I spend most of my AZ browsing time on a phone, not a real computer, so I know my opinions are biased. I'd be thrilled to see these two small changes though.

My Comments:

-The icons next to thread titles are just too "bubbly" and "cartoony". They attract way too much attention and it's distracting. I loved the old AZ layout from the moment I joined because of one concept you had pinned down: Simplicity". Please go back to either the old icons, or ones that aren't so... glossy, big, or eye-popping.
-The sides of the webpage are also distracting/ silly. I'm talking about the tiled A\ logo. I know it makes it match the rest of the site, but it make more sense on those pages and none on the forum pages. I would much prefer a plainer, darker shade of grey.
-I'm not sure about "mobile browsing" of AZ Forums, but I do like the narrower format (larger margins), albeit not the background (as mentioned above). It's a known heuristic in the internet that having something too wide, that results in very wide paragraphs of just a few lines is not as easy to read as narrower paragraphs that are taller. I wouldn't mind having the forum a little narrower still. But then again, I do have a widescreen monitor (1680x1050).
-Ditto what Capt. Obvious said on the picture resizing issue. "miss the old way that oversize pictures were resized. I hate having to open and close popup windows. And the new resizing pixelates and ruins the pics really bad." The new format makes the pictures show up too small so that I NEED to click on them. And that's a pain in the ass. The old way was better because the pictures were bigger and you could just click on that top bar that let you know they had been resized to see them in all their glory.

This Profile Page vs Control Panel link change would be an easy fix, but I actually go to my Profile quite a bit which is why we set it up the way we did. It has easy and quick access to some nice features. Your Control Panel can also be accessed by clicking "Settings" found at the top right.

And for those that browse the site on smartphones, Audizine Mobile is the next project to be completed after we finish all of these little site fixes. The project was put on hold to upgrade the forum software, as the newest version uses more CSS and less tables. For those that don't know what that means, basically two ways of laying out pages and building templates (a template for computers and a template for phones).

Is there a way to see "All threads started by XXXX" like in the old profile page? I used to use that feature to find threads that I started. It was useful for quickly finding my helpful threads to re-post the links when similar questions arise. Now it's just "Find all posts."

[banker1]

I'm having a strange issue with the forum lately... I login to the forum and get a message that I've been logged in but I don't have access to my user cp and message list (the grouping at the top left of the screen). It actually looks like I'm not logged in (there is a box to enter username and password) but I can post... Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue but figured I'd give you guys the heads up.

[Anthony]

The login issues should now be fixed.

[Seerlah]

I was wondering if the numbers where it states "New messages" can be in black bold? On the old format, it was very helpful as it stuck out rather well grabbing your attention. I recieved a couple PMs these last couple of days and I find it much more easier when the number is in bold, to know when you have a new message.

[GetBoosted84]

The search page (http://www.audizine.com/forum/search.php) keeps defaulting to "heatshield" as the keyword and "blink" as the user name. Can you fix that? It's a real pain in the neck.

Sounds like a caching issue, or perhaps you have that saved in your search preferences?

[Seerlah]

Do you feel that will be enough to solve your issue?

Not also mine, but maybe another's whom maybe might have a peeve about it but will just deal with it. It's just that is how it was on the older format and it made it a lot more easier to notice when I reveived a new PM. For example, I am now constantly looking at that number everytime that I come onto AZ. Before, those number sort of grabbed your attention, simply because they were in bold. I just personally think it would be better in bold if new PMs are recieved, just like how it was before (only in bold when new ones are in the mailbox).

Edit: Actually, I don't know how open you are to changing the location of where it is also. It seems like it is tucked in the corner where people hardly look at. Then the fact that it is rarther bland and unnoticable makes it even worse.

On another note, how long till you think you get all the kinks out of the new system? Because there are a lot of them (one of them is on my sig). I can post up all the little things I noticed, but I was thinking that the guys behind the scene already noticed them and are currently deciding how to go about it. That is one reason I did not post about the ones I noticed, but just granted another voice of one whom is experiencing the same things.

[Anthony]

I ask because I was considering making the "New Messages" another color when there are unread messages. Although, the Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up feature works well. Do you have this enabled? It can be set in your "Settings" under "Forum Settings > Private Messaging".

I am hoping to have all of the Forum bugs and layout fixes done by the end of this week, then it'll be time to work on the Classifieds.

[Seerlah]

Cool[cool].

But yes, anything that can grab the attention of recieving new PMs will be helpfull, wihtout having a pop up come onto the screen. I don't have that enabled, as it seems like a spam feature to me. I know it isn't spam, but I am a wierdo like that[:p]. Like instant messenger pop ups. Those things can get annoying.

[B8_Jim]

There should be a new software patch in a few days which will hopefully fix some of the duplicating issues.

Should this be fixed yet? -- I'm still seeing it on several posts -- Firefox 3.x on Windows, Linux, and Mac...

[imnuts]

I've noticed that there are a few posts/threads were things are getting screwed up with the display and I think I know the cause and a temporary solution. I've only really noticed the problem in the B6 forum as that's mainly what I read and in threads and posts that have two or more dashes (-)together, the page display and layout gets screwed up, and things get more screwed up if it's quoted again. On another forum that runs phpBB that I'm a member of they had the same issue and the double dash was screwing with the HTML tags. The solution was to just put a word filter in to replace the two dashes with one.

[audinaut]

double dashes are being substituted with double asterisks. your html encoding on form submit needs to be looked at, don't know of any database security issues double dashes create on sql queries. See this thread for example.......clicky (http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?345926-Timing-belt-worn-1k-miles-%2A%2APICS-ADDED%2A%2A&p=4946392&viewfull=1#post4946392)

[Anthony]

What happened to clicking on pictures to expand them to their original higher resolution? Now I get this flash style window opening up each image. [down]

[audinaut]

The solution was to just put a word filter in to replace the two dashes with one.

That is not a solution but a hack. The solution should be to replace a single dash with the html entity code for a dash, that way any number of dashes submitted by a user will be displayed in the browser. Solution is easy to implement if you know how to code. Admin's need to look at the code that parses and cleans strings on form submit if it exists. If it doesn't exist, make your own function call. Not having a function call that cleans input strings on form submit opens the site up to sql injection attacks.

[Mike@PureMS]

If you click on a user name, then click on "View Forum Posts", you get a search results page showing all the various posts that user has made just fine.
However, the forum that all those posts were made in does not show up correctly. It just shows code, instead of a link to the forum.
for example..

I agree, plus, as I suggested in the Forum Bugs thread, I strongly believe that we don't need the "Started by" text preceding the OP's username. It just adds too much redundant clutter to the page, which reduces scanability.

[JasonR]

Here's a new issue that I believe only started after last night's update...

The fonts when viewing a forum index are less than ideal. Any already-read or simply 'old' threads are in a very small font... smaller in fact than the "Started by username, date time" line. If the thread is unread, it's in a small bold font which stands out a bit. On the whole, this is really a step in the wrong direction in terms of being able to quickly scan through a list of threads.

This isn't a bug exactly as it's consistent across browsers and operations systems, but perhaps something to reconsider. Here's a screenshot of the new setup on my iPhone while zoomed into the Title/Thread Starter column as I often do. This seems to illustrate the issue pretty clearly since the titles are difficult to see but the ancillary data stands out.

http://69.72.193.218/images/az-font-issue.jpg

Looks like there's a separate thread for this issue already: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?346295-why-are-the-thread-topics-smaller-then-the-text-of-the-person-that-posted-the-thread

BTW - I agree with the idea of removing the words "Started by" since the column already says "Thread Starter". The redundancy doesn't really improve things.

I just noticed another issue associated with this. Take a look at infinkc's example image. The titles that have an icon at the start are pushed down just a bit so that the bottom of the font gets cut off. ie: The first one looks like Stickv as the bottom of the y is cut off. This happens in several browsers.

[JEENYUS]

since last nights update i have been having scrolling issues. once i scroll it seems the words get cut and everything seems as though it hasnt loaded all the way. i know it is not an issue with the browser because i tested it on more than one CPU. also, when loading pictures or viewing pictures on the threads the pictures are resized completely wrong. they dont fit in the original thread and you have to scroll to the right of the screen to see the whole picture. I think that they should be resized to how it was on the old version where there was no side scrolling to view the complete image. these two issues are very annoying and for an example of this picture view issue, reference to fix post of page 5. Thanks Anthony.

[ElCapitan464]

font is to small, the past font was ok, this one is pretty hard on my eyes, if its possible to switch back, thats would be my vote

[ItsDubC]

When typing a post that contains multiple paragraphs, the paragraph spacing becomes almost unobservable when you click "Go Advanced". I seem to remember this being an issue in the normal forum view after the initial upgrade, so I assume the advanced view is using CSS that wasn't updated when the forum view CSS was.

BTW - I agree with the idea of removing the words "Started by" since the column already says "Thread Starter". The redundancy doesn't really improve things.

There's a ton of usability improvements that this picture highlights. The font of "Started by" is far too big, and the thread topic itself is far too small. I really like the "thread started date" though. Very nice for not bringing up old threads that should have died a long time ago.

Also, is there any way to make the 'first unread post' button bigger? Please?

[JasonR]

Private Messaging - if you have more than 100 messages in a folder, the rendering gets a little wonky. This is Firefox 3.6, Windows Server 2003. FYI - I just checked and I get the same issue on the iPhone, so it's definitely a cross-platform issue. IE6 can't render the PM section pretty much at all, but it's pretty easy to consider that a non-supported browser.

is it just me.. or are threads not updating "last post by" and moving to the top when someone posts in them?

[A4 TSCHUSS]

I just noticed that looking at all the thread titles in a particular forum if a lower case letter is used such as y, g, etc where a part of the letter hangs lower than the line the letter sits on then it is cut off. I noticed this on a thread title where a "y" looked like a "v" since the bottom was missing and that then lead me to notice many other letters on other threads doing the same thing.

Don't know where else to post feedback. Re: the new look....its very frustrating and hard to navigate. Thread titles are now smaller than the "thread started by..." ???? That's just odd. Why is who started the thread more important than the thread title? And the giant thought bubble icons next to every thread? What does that mean, that there's someone saying something in there? Unnecessary.

A useful addition would be a camera icon next to threads that contain images.

Noticed the lightbox is no more. Assuming its being tuned or scrapped. Either way, it was a solid effort.

The auto resizing + yellow box "Click to see larger image" above pictures has been the most direct, easy to use and least detrimental to page performance of all the variants.

The gradual changes are much better than it was 2 weeks ago. Few things I've noticed:

1) The thread title text in the main forum (B6 A4, etc) is smaller than the "Posted by:" text, and some of the text seems cut in half.

2) The Join Date, Location, etc etc under the avatar is spaced out to the right (into the message body) for anyone that has an avatar (myself, a4darkness, Euro-Tuner, Alkivar, etc on this page)

3) I'm not sure if this is a problem that just I'm having, but AZ seems to be running very slow and delayed. For example, if I go to scroll down the page, it takes like 3+ seconds for the page to actually move.

4) I'm still having an issue where if I scroll over certain buttons the text in a post will disappear, but when I refresh the page its there.

Hmmm... I'm noticing the little "arrow" that indicates "go to last unread post" seems to be missing (at least in the off topic section). Are you still automatically re-sizing images? I haven't seen any re-sized yet and I found that to be very useful to avoid scrolling left and right. I just forgot to mention it last week.

edit: the arrow for last un-read post seems to be back for me on FF. All is well!

That's not a default. It must be a caching issue or your saved setting.

Not sure if this is a bug, a setting or if is't been reported already,
I have replied and sent some private messages but my sent items folder is empty

Under "Settings" > "My Account" (http://www.audizine.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions) look under Private Messaging and be sure your settings for "Sent Private Messages" is "Save a copy of sent messages in my Sent Items folder by default".
