Thread: Major Upgrade - New Features

I've run some maintenance routines for the MySQL database which should help weed out at least some of the bugs.

I'll look into changing the post-scrollbar behavior

Some people had trouble with inserting pictures, with having previously successfully inserted pictures now show as just links, and with random order of pictures on a post, Frederik. I've had trouble with copying and pasting text from other sources, which then shows with visible format tags. Would you please look into these issues?

This said, of course some glitches are expected, but the upgrade is great!

This should be fixed now. Again, for some mysterious reason the "view inline" option had been switched off during the upgrade, but it's back on now.

Being slightly childlike, I like the new ability to 'like' someone else's post without necessarily having to comment on it.

Thanks.
Another unrelated issue - a member asked if we could have tags for "spoilers" which hide text until we place the pointer over it, which would facilitate games like the "name this opera" currently going on in the Opera forum.

And we had previously talked about getting more emoticons - like the "cheers" one, "party" ones, etc. Some of the current emoticons are so pale that we have trouble telling one from the other, for example, these two:

I think those pale smilies are default for the new version (they're the same on my Ferrari F1 forum & that's not long been upgraded)

I'm really liking the new banner!

I agree!

One problem so far, when I hit the Home icon on the top of the page it says I do not have permission. How can I not have permission to see the homepage?

Glad you like the new banner, World Violist and Grosse Fugue.

Almaviva, I'll look into adding a spoiler tag.
The new smileys are indeed the default for the new vb version. Perhaps we should change back to the old ones? Maybe this calls for a poll...

Grosse Fugue, the "home" tab leads to a new content section, which is yet to be implemented...

Yep, I'd vote for the old smileys, and would also like some more smileys added to the list.
Some members have argued in the past that smileys are childish. I must be in my second childhood because I'm a grown man but I love smileys!

Me too. I was trying to figure out what the score is, but I don't think I can see enough of it...

Extra scrollbars are still there for me. Looking in Firebug, the problem seems to be a contradiction between how two different css files handle the "postrow" class. One says:

Code:

.postrow {
  overflow: auto;
}

and the other says

Code:

.postrow {
  min-height: 1px;
  overflow: visible;
}

Getting rid of the first one and keeping the second one seems to solve the problem. Because of the way vBulletin handles css files, I can't give you a specific file where the problem lies; Firebug just gives me: http://www.talkclassical.com/css.php...s,lightbox.css as the wrong one.

The old smileys were definitely better.

Anybody else find that the site banner more immediately invokes Harry Potter than classical music?
