Don't think I got that here.

Only a day late

How so? Worked for me once I updated the timezone to an actual one (the forum can't obviously guess your time zone (and thus DST settings) from your time offset only).

Wow, finally! What took so long if you don’t mind me asking?

Lots of bugs and unexpected issues. First, we realised that MediaWiki has introduced a breaking change in their latest version and we had to disable single sign-on (major refactoring is required). Then, an error caused by a file that was unexplicably modified during the migration took me a bit of time to fix. And then, as I was going to set up Twitterfeed to reactivate automatic news streaming to Facebook and Twitter, I realised that they're closing tomorrow and looked for a suitable replacement but couldn't find one that matched our requirements.

Found a bug:

That happened when I tried to change my timezone (the suggestion part popped up, is what I mean). Clicking it does nothing.

There seems to be an issue with the '%s' but the feature is working fine for me (and Fifo and Master apparently). Can you be more specific?

Also, rewards for everyone who helped with the new site will be dealt out soon. Bug bounties will also be awarded to those who'll find bugs that have somehow made it past the beta testing!

Somebody send me a PM, as I’m not sure if my notifications are working.

EDIT: I got it, thanks!

Try using Buffer, dlvr.it or something like that for posting to Twitter.

Scratch that, I managed to get it:

Well the button only appeared after clicking the top dropdown list, and clicking on it had no visible effect.

The site update is pretty awesome, really well done!

I might have to update RayTunes with this style in the future. The current site is so outdated (and just plain bad) in every aspect anyway.

Just one tiny problem here: in the editor and in posts, the emoticons look very badly pixelated on 125% zoom (default zoom for my DPI, both in Firefox and Chrome), whereas they scaled very smoothly before.
The CSS includes image-rendering properties to make it that way, but that really looks terrible on anything that isn't an integer multiple of 100% (although it does look much better on those integer multiples!):

Code:

.smilies, #smiley-box img {
	vertical-align: text-bottom;
	image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges;
	image-rendering: -webkit-crisp-edges;
	image-rendering: pixelated;
}

The smooth scaling is still active in the "View more smilies" popup, by the way.

Fifo · Oct 30, 2016

Wow, the smilies are razor sharp on mobile!

I'm probably going to do the same thing for RaySaves too.

NyaNyaLily · Oct 30, 2016

Man, this new site actually looks pretty good. Hunch, you deserve a cookie. :cookie:

btw, for some reason I have to re-log in every now and then.

incognito · Oct 30, 2016

Gotta get used to the mobile interface that looks pretty awkward to me, but it seems that it will fit perfectly with the style of my wrist computer.

Better timezone handling: daylight saving time adjusts automatically.

I see faix! :bad:

Closing tomorrow!? You couldn't make this stuff up!

Also it has to be said the new gender icons are snazzy!

incognito · Oct 30, 2016

I agree about the gender icon, I'm even a better looking male than before.

I'm constantly pressing the wrong button to go back on the index, I keep coming back on the portal.

PluMGMK · Oct 30, 2016

Also it's kinda spooky seeing my name on the online list, even though I know the italics mean nobody else sees it...

incognito · Oct 30, 2016

Nobody can see me.... I'm a ninja.

Buffer's like $100 a year and dlvr.it won't recognise our (valid) feed (I also tried different MIME types).

Oh, I thought you meant the whole feature was broken, but it's just the timezone suggestion. Gonna look into it now.

Yeah, this is so that smilies appear nice and crisp on high pixel density displays (see Fifo's message). Websites are meant to be viewed at 100% zoom and while I understand that some people might want to change that, I suggest using a browser extension such as stylebot, stylish or styler and use the following CSS on this site:

Code:

.smilies, #smiley-box img {
	image-rendering: -moz-auto;
	image-rendering: -webkit-auto;
	image-rendering: auto;
}

Thanks! As for your issue, it never occurred during the beta testing so it might just be a bug on your side or the transition to HTTPS. Let me know if it keeps happening though.

Well I asked you to take a sreenshot for me and you replied that your phone did not have such a feature, so I'm afraid it's more you having a shitty phone than the forum having an awkward mobile design. :mrgreen:

Hell no!

Thanks, we're using FontAwesome for these.

Just noticed two duplicate fields on the (mobile, French) profile editor: rank alignment appears both at the top and bottom of the form, and there's a field for both "Windows Live Messenger" and "Skype".

Thanks, just fixed the rank alignement thing. I'll merge WLM and Skype later.

You should add Discord if it's possible.

Eren · Oct 30, 2016

Wow, I must admit, the site now looks verg good!

Haruka · Oct 30, 2016

Very nice!

I really like the Quick Links feature. I should check out the Wiki too. And I absolutely love this new spoiler tag too!

I found this bug when doing a Ting transaction:
