Pinned

Official THF 2.0 Bugs & Feedback Thread

next order of business is giving me my emma back

fucking get it done

That's definitely a high priority

Randomly having my text cursor moved into the middle of the reply I'm writing. Not every time, but it's happened to me three times. Desktop only.

Don't know how I haven't brought this up already. Has happened to me about five times already, and it's a brutal battle between the cursor and I every time.

What are pinned threads? Stickied?

Yeah that's correct. The reason they aren't pinned to the top on the home forum page is because the home forum page just shows threads sorted by latest post, just like "Today's Posts" did on the old site. If you go into a forum, like Halo Discussion, you'll notice the pinned threads are always at the top.

Nope, not at the top

Nah man, that's not what I'm talking about. If you actually go to the Halo Discussion forum, it'll be pinned. What you're doing is using the quick filter, which is just there for convenience of filtering the home page forum content. Use the menu on the left hand side of the forum ("Forum Menu") and go to a forum and the threads will be pinned.

i think my youtube button disappeared

Yes it did, because all you have to do to embed a youtube video now is simply post the link, and the site automatically converts the link to an embed.

yo we should bring back gif avatars as long as they meet a certain size restriction. at least for now while it's mostly us old heads posting anyway. at least give us the ability to have an avy with smaller dimensions than 200x200 to avoid the auto-resize.

this is so goddamn awesome

 

i just tried to make a thread with all of my videos, but for some reason some of the links won't embed correctly (even though the link works).  this is the thread: Tarzan's Filmography. tried to do no spoilers but that didn't really change anything

The youtube links need to be in their own paragraph. Don't separate them by line breaks (shift+enter). It messes with the way the embed system detects what a link is.

Going back a week or so, you said that there is no auto-subscribe, we can only do it manually now. Is this something that will change in the future? Got a lot of use out of the old UserCP page that way.

Also, more of a suggestion, but how hard would it be to remove the last post arrow on usernames in the last post column, moving the last post text to after the username. Maybe even changing it to look more like the pinned status. Just seems odd we have two links to the last post in a thread, with the text link actually being outside the last post column. IT MUST MAKE SENSE NV1.

Something I noticed in the PMs:

Images do not resize if they are too big, and the profile pictures are not square (there is a large white border on the right).

How do I make it so hitting Enter doesn't result in a double space format? I can't find it in the available toolbar.

It doesn't result in a double spaced format, it's creating a new paragraph. But if you only want to return a single line, use shift+enter.

does the regs section still exist? i don't see it.
Tried this, but some links still don' t seem to embed correctly

It will. 

I'm now getting three ads per page, many of which end up overlaying each other. At least one ad is always a fake ad for software (i.e. Java, Flash). Is this intended? Is this just on my end? 

Also, for some reason a lot of site text changed from white to black a second ago for me, making it a lot harder to read against the dark skin. Specifically when I am viewing all the threads by title, they are all now black instead of white. 

That's something on your end, THF is ad free thankfully, run your anti-virus and install that adblock bruh. <3

edit: actually, im pretty sure that might be an add-on to your browser, i had a problem like that with some bullshit program on firefox.

Any idea which add on it was? 

 

I I had my last Mac for 4 years, no problems. I've had this one for a month and I manage to get a virus. Fack. 

It was some background add-on, I can't recall the name, but it had something to do with shopping or online deals. It looked exactly like what is bothering you right now. It infuriated me to no end, and it took me a while to find the source. I wish I remembered exactly how I dispatched the miserable program, but alas, I cannot.  GL bro
Well I just downloaded Avast, deleted some things after a scan... no success. So then I went into my "Library" and started checking what times and every file on my computer was being accessed. Deleted the most unnatural sounding file folder that coincided with the problem beginning and now I seem to be okay for the time being. But Avast does keep having to block something which sketches me out because I'm obviously not completely in the clear. Anyways, gnite. Thanks for the help!
thf is ad free for signed in users at this time, we'll have to see how things go financially long term obv but it is the goal and the donations so far obv help massively towards that
I think the size of characters in quote boxes should be way smaller. I'd rather not attempt to read posts when there's gigantic text in a quote box begging for attention.

I actually liked being able to hover over a thread and have it tell me the last time I posted in it was. Mostly because I forget when and where I post, so if I hover and it says I posted within the last day, I'll know to go and see if anyone replied to me etc. but it's not a HUGE deal.

Also liked being able to hover a thread to see the first sentence(s) of the OP.

did we move from 25 ppp to 10 for some reason?

I'm gonna throw an idea out for consideration. It's completely cosmetic and not terribly useful for console based gaming sites, but whatever.

A streaming page or a side-bar listing of current streamers. Could run everything as a redirect from twitch.

I've just always loved such things ever since I started frequenting teamliquid.net several years ago.

Also so I can get viewers for my stream. :travis:

Yes, but it wasn't intentional. I've changed it back to 25.

How 'bout some lazy loading (at least for video/audio embeds) love for those of us browsing video-heavy threads on shitty work computers? Lazy Load XT seems p. good for this.

Would be neat. A couple good streamers on the site could help a lot with routing traffic here. I don't know how to build to that though, I would like to help coax people into it by means of regonition, like a featured stream of the week or something along those lines, but we just don't have enough. Something like what you suggested would help boost any member to a spotlight.

Precisely my thought. I mean, there are a good amount of Halo streamers/Halo pros streaming that could be linked to the site, and then anyone already a member streaming whatever they like.

Maybe it's the iPad I'm on, but sometimes when I make a post and I go to scroll back up its keeps pushing me down to the bottom of the page. I have to refresh for it to work.
Idk if this is addressed or not. But you can't make paragraphs. At least not by pressing enter, at least on my phone. Not sure if it's the same on a computer or not.
Could not find if it had been asked, but would it be possible to add a view post/thread feature before posting? I can't just make a thread unpublished either, I tried that with my streaming thread to see if it was embedded correctly and once posted it disappeared. I had to go back through my browser history to find it and finally publish it, if I didn't have history enabled I would of just had to remake the thread given there is no way to see threads made by a user. I think this should be somewhat prioritized considering its importance/convenience to making posts more than a couple sentences long.
 So "pinning" a thread atm literally does nothing. When I click "forum" and the threads pop up on the next page, shouldn't it start with all the "pinned" threads? Isn't that the reason for pinning a thread? So it shows up at the very top of each section? Cause right now all pinning does is put a little "pinned" emblem by the thread.

I hovered over the "pinned" emblem and this came up:     "This thread has been pinned and will show up at the top of listings!"

lol
