Re: New site
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).RibShark wrote:Only a day late
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.Fifo wrote:Wow, finally!

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?RibShark wrote: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.
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!
Re: New site
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.

Re: New site
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.Hunchman801 wrote: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?
Re: New site
The site update is pretty awesome, really well done!
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!):
The smooth scaling is still active in the "View more smilies" popup, by the way.

Wow, the smilies are razor sharp on mobile!

Re: New site
Man, this new site actually looks pretty good. Hunch, you deserve a cookie. 
btw, for some reason I have to re-log in every now and then.

Re: New site
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.

Also it has to be said the new gender icons are snazzy!
Re: New site
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.

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

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).Fifo wrote:Try using Buffer, dlvr.it or something like that for posting to Twitter.
Oh, I thought you meant the whole feature was broken, but it's just the timezone suggestion. Gonna look into it now.RibShark wrote:Well the button only appeared after clicking the top dropdown list, and clicking on it had no visible effect.

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:Drolpiraat wrote: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.

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

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.incognito wrote: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.

Re: New site
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".

Re: New site
You should add Discord if it's possible.
Re: New site
Wow, I must admit, the site now looks verg good! 
Re: New site
Very nice!
I really like the Quick Links feature. I should check out the Wiki too.
I found this bug when doing a Ting transaction:
