Forum Update!

[BFM_dStruct]

Hi Guys

As you may or may not have noticed there has been a Forum update here at BFM, and as a result, our old theme no longer would have worked and needed to be remade. This theme is still under quite a bit of construction and there are some bugs that I am well aware of and are striving to fix them as soon as possible.

I have spent the last week or so trying to find errors myself in my own test environment, however I can't find them all so it is now your turn to help me out Please post any bugs that you may have noticed on the forums.

Please note guys, there is a difference between bugs and design. This was not made to look absolutely identical to the old version, even though it does follow some major trends. An example of what is not a bug is telling me:

 - The info centre is completely different!

Bugs are things like borders not matching up together and so forth. Anyway, please be patient as I try and fix all these problems. I will let you know of my progress I fix your problems by editing your post in this thread.

Thank You

The Roster link side column on the website(not forum) does not work. It says:

Unknown column 'realName' in 'field list'

Thanks - Fixed ~ BFM_dStruct

If anyone using IE is having a problem with buttons not working (or anything else for that matter) try changing the setting for Compatibility Mode.  In the IE menu, select Tools > Compatibility View.

For example, I could not get to the search screen when using IE, click on the button at the top of the page and nothing would happen.  Works fine in Firefox and Chrome.


Thanks - Should be fixed now. Still requiring a little bit of testing for confirmation. ~ BFM_dStruct

It's sort of related to the bug above - the staff list isn't in alphabetical order either (sorted instead by date of joining the forums, I think).

There's not enough lines anywhere! Especially in the index!

I've made a first attempt at this, how do you think it is now?  Kiwi

The recruit application isn't working correctly. It says that I'm not authorized and not logged in but I am otherwise I couldn't post this.

EDIT:

Didn't see this. Forget my post

(Obviously the last one is a matter of opinion/preference.)

Not really sure if its a bug or not but on some peoples signatures i cant see them and i cant even right click and show image on them. example on kiwi's very top Sig it wont show for me and i cant right click and show. it wont give me the option 2 and I'm on google chrome



Also to note. i had to take a screen shot to be sure of myself. when you first come to the forums under announcements i notice a very quick change in the side or whatever you call it. it has 3 things that are all together.

it goes something like this.
 the welcome message, then underneath that is the interesting in joining message and then underneath that is the For ventrilo access message/thing. i can post a screen shot if you like but it was a real quick change b4 it showed the actual starting. it shows when refreshed for me

That could be because Chrome knows that the image doesn't exist (the server returned 404 Not Found) so there's no point in giving the user the option.

i tried it for IE to and got the same thing also appears to me that the notification button is doing the same exact thing with the image

[BFM_Ben1]

I have the exact same thing Zeek, when you load the board index 2 messages flash very quickly beneath the top one. I use Mozila :/

I can't say for sure, but is it normal that we have around 30 guests at any given time looking at different things on "whos online?"

Edit:  They are all looking at seemingly random posts from years ago...


Those are Google and Bing mostly, and a few Chineses web crawlers.  We want them to index the site, but we need to figure out how to just hide them from Who's Online ~Kiwi

It isn't a bug but... I miss the many colours to choose from. For the text in a post. I'm sorry if that was not appropriate to post here.
Edit: Oh... apparently you could still use them, though they aren't in the list "Change Color".
Edit Second: Thank you Fraggle.

Here Elk... JANE gave me this a while ago and i kept a copy. You may find it useful.

There are two links in this topic directing you to a white page with "Unknown column 'realName' in 'field list'".[/color]
