Find the new features game has now begun...

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Sat Jan 28, 2006 5:47 am

If you think you found one, let us all know. ;)

Just to keep you on your toes, I'll be adding a new one every few hours throughout the weekend.

Oh and if you get any error messages, I'm sure it's just a feature I added and not a bug, so report them here if you can reproduce the problem.

Is "Always show First Post on every Topic Page" new? I've never noticed it before. It seems to take out the returns though, so that everything on the first post is one long line. Is that a feature or a bug?

Also, I got this again late last night:
This Account Has Exceeded Its CPU Quota

Please contact this site's webmaster.

Wait a few minutes and use your browser's "Back" button or click here to try again.

If you are the webmaster, your account may have exceeded for one or more of the following reasons:

* Your site has used more than 20% of the cpu.
* Your account has too many processes running at the same time.
* Your site was consuming too many resources. This happens on occassion to very busy sites that have inefficient scripts running.
I was reading the MishMash game Elimination, and then clicked to go back to the MishMash forum when it happened.

I found that too.
It's my baby but the bug exists...
Squash that and I will give you some lovin'!

Edit:

This is how I see MeMe's sig in the first post of the mini theme list with "view first post on each page" turned on.

Code: Select all

Also - check if quotes in sigs are disabled?

How is this for sigs? I strip out quotes and img stuff, but they still show if you click profile.

well, the first post thing seems ok now but it's still a weird shade in mafsepia

edit: heh - in sepia, it goes to a lighter colour and in subsilver, it actually takes on the lightest of mocha touches - the OP when on pages other than page 1

Is it possible to have the "View First Post" feature enabled on a thread by thread basis? Or is it too much hassle?

You made all of our login cookies invalid? Oh wait, that probably wasn't a feature...

It was obviously a feature! It was, of course, a side effect of all the security updates I did. They should work after resetting them. ;)

View First Post on a thread by thread basis is possible, but I'd have to do quite a bit of thinking to figure out how to make it efficient.

That's for when you're posting yourself.
The first anchored post may not be written by you.

Sigs are not a problem. Just, the coding is getting screwed up on the OP on pages other than number 1, screwing up page width.

Jeep, did you change the behavior of the little "This topic has new posts" icon (it's a red page in mafSepia, I forget what it is in subSilver)?

Mine are suddenly MUCH more persistent...which is a good thing, overall, but now they don't turn white until I leave the site and come back. Previously they were a good way to tell which threads I had already caught up on in this session....

Also, obviously you changed signature code a bit, as the size code no longer changes anything there.

Something is not right in the OP sig of mine. It swallows an LF/CR.

Hey, is the "Log in" box at the bottom of the main page a new feature? I usually stay logged in so I never noticed it for sure, but at work I get logged out periodically and just noticed that 'feature'...

Maybe it's because I haven't been around for a while, but the notes page now produces BBCode instead of HTML.
