Growing Pains: Feedback on the New Forum

[wolfloversk]

Today I just happenned upon a new chat glitch...

I had logged out of the forum and the chat, but when I logged back into the chat it took me to the index page instead...

NW has been acting up a lot for me lately. Oftentimes, when I click on something, it will start to load the page and just stop suddenly. So I just see the background, and nothing else. :/

Or all the text will be enormous, and there will be codes everywhere.

And a lot of times everything will be centered in the middle of the page.

What do you mean by that? You can't get a screenshot can you?

The first two problems I've had as well, but I have no clue what causes it.

[Ithilwen]

What I mean is, everyone's text will be in the center of their posts, their sigs will be centered, and (look down) see that Post Reply button? Instead of being off to the left like it is now, it would be in the middle of the page.

I don't have a screenshot I don't think....

I've had that happen too, but not since the early days of the new forum. No idea what causes it, though...

[wolfloversk]

Yep that happens to me too... I think it happens when someone purposely centers their post or their sig... then for some reason the code doesn't stop with that post. I don't know if they forget the [/center] or if it changes the default or what...

[Valiant]

Ithilwen, that's happened to me as well. It only happens rarely. The first time it happened I thought that they layout of the site had been changed, lol.

This used to happen a lot to me, and it was terribly frustrating. I found that (for some reason) the "centred" pages always happened after the same user posted. For me, it was PrincessRosario. Anytime she posted, every post after that was centred until the next page.

Is it "user specific" like that with you as well?

[Ithilwen]

I'm not sure... it usually happens to me in the Non-Narnian graphics thread.

@Ithie and Digs: I think my earlier hypothesis was right... I just messed up a whole page by a typo with the quote code. (To make a long story short my avatar came after my sig XD)

FK said to me that if you mess up a code it will affect the entire page. So that's why, Digs, it only happened after a specific user posted- they probably forgot to put "[ /center]" in their sig. That also explains why it's more prevalent in some threads than others. Users have favorite threads after all

Wow, I just converted over from the old forum after a hiatus of goodness knows how long - I like this new look!

Just to let everybody know, Tirian is doing some work on the server and there are a few bugs currently in the system. (I keep getting logged out when I click the forum link at the top of the page.) Just so everybody knows, he's working on it!
