View Full Version : BC Forums upgraded...
Hey everybody,
i just upgraded the forum software to the latest version.
the upgrade wasn't the simpliest and there are quite a bit of changes. things are in general working right now. however, there are a list of things that i need to fix.
please let me know if there are other things that you found to be broken. i will get to them as soon as i can...
cheers.

Yea, i agree.:D
jcl49 03-07-2006, 07:23 AM The message about taking out a silk cloth to wipe off the shuttle marks from the racquet is always amusing to see. Is that the next level up, beyond a simple badminton enthusiast?
FEND. 03-07-2006, 07:57 AM The Quote button looks like it has bigger font...
silentheart 03-07-2006, 08:10 AM Nothing wrong with the old one. But the new one looks better. I like the additional info about where the thread is located. Thanks for the great work.
chibe_K 03-07-2006, 11:58 AM kwun, fortunately you stated its an "upgrade" not changing to newer version of software....otherwise I oppose :D cuz I dun like change !!! IBF should state the 21 scoring system is an "upgrade" rather than a change :D ...sorry off topic here, I shut up.....
The only change I notice is the line width is thicker, and the font seems to be nicer...I have not paid attention to other areas. In any case, thanks for keeping the site running so smoothly and so professionally !!!

the "upgrade" is really mostly behind the scene stuff. now it is even easier to moderate posts (*cough* *cough* ;) ), that will make our overworked moderators life much easier; and easier to add new functionality to the forum; and also there are some security fixes...
bear with me as there are still a few more things work iron out...
I like this new layout. :)
silentheart 03-07-2006, 03:50 PM I am having problem sorting from most recent post to old post...
Gollum 03-07-2006, 04:47 PM Um....
I hate to bring bad news, but none of the formatting buttons work in Firefox (1.5).
Every posting control (bold, image, link...) is inactive. They show no hover recognition of the mouse and do not respond in any way to mouse clicks.
Not a good upgrade for us Firefox users :(

Gollum,
can you post a screen capture...
coz it is working here with FF1.5...
scchang 03-07-2006, 06:15 PM Kwun, Thanks for all the efforts. The upload time and post time in the equipment reviews did not show the part of date, only the time (hh:mm). Is that easy to fix? If not, no worries. Just leave it as is. -SC the "upgrade" is really mostly behind the scene stuff. now it is even easier to moderate posts (*cough* *cough* ;) ), that will make our overworked moderators life much easier; and easier to add new functionality to the forum; and also there are some security fixes...

In the image below, you can see the tooltip text "italic", indicating that the mouse pointer is hovering over the button. But no "button active" state is visible (and, in fact, I am unable to press the button, but you can't see that!).
I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.1

http://www.snarkpit.net/pits/gollum/baddy/BCpost.jpg can you make sure you have javascript enabled? i get that when i disable javascript. if it is indeed enabled. then i will continue scratch my head...
Sintec 03-08-2006, 08:45 AM I can login using firefox 1.5, but the thing is, once i click on any links in the forums, i will be prompt to enter my UN & password again. kwun can you pls look into this matter...
Sintec 03-08-2006, 09:08 AM it is definitely not my firewall problem. I have closed it and log in but can't.
silentheart 03-08-2006, 10:47 AM Hi Kwun,
Could you check the search function under equipment forum. I can click on the search and the box comes up. However, the box is gone when I click on the it to enter subject. When I click again, it tells me error on page. Thanks.
cards_pro 03-08-2006, 11:05 AM Photo Gallery is not working.
Here are the error messages.
Warning: main(./includes/functions_showthread.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/kwun/www/gallery/header-inc.php on line 82
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/functions_showthread.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/kwun/www/gallery/header-inc.php on line 82
Gollum 03-08-2006, 03:38 PM can you make sure you have javascript enabled? i get that when i disable javascript. if it is indeed enabled. then i will continue scratch my head...
I do have javascript enabled.
I just checked, and then I used my grips guide page, which relies on javascript. Javascript is definitely enabled and working.
BC does, however, boast a huge number of javascript errors :( Check out the javascript console in Firefox.
In well-written code, there should be NO errors reported.
malayali 03-08-2006, 03:49 PM The QUICK LINKS is not working for me....
cooler 03-08-2006, 03:54 PM new posts only show current unviewed posts, not what's new in the past 1 or2 days

my gosh... let me go ahead and clean them up. hopefully this will fix the problem with IE as well.. keeping my fingers crossed.

I don't know how many of these errors are caused by imported "suites" of forum functions from the generic forum software -- in other words, I expect many of them are not "your fault"; you've inherited them.
In any case, if you are able to clean them up, it should take care of a few gremlins and guard against random future bugs :)
Note that the console also displays some CSS errors (although the W3C CSS validator is better).

most of them are inherited. although some are typos...
we are down to 3 errors on FF now. but unfortunately, they are not my code. how is the editor looking on your side? did the correction fixes it for you?
i know that IE is still having problems. unfortunately, the error report is extremely useless.
DinkAlot 03-08-2006, 05:22 PM The new format looks cleaner. :D
*thumbs up*:)
Sintec 03-08-2006, 08:52 PM It is not working well with firefox 1.5
DinkAlot 03-08-2006, 11:48 PM It is not working well with firefox 1.5
I use both IE and FireFox 1.5.0.1 and BC works just fine on both. In fact, BC is faster on FireFox.
What's not working for you?

Gollum, try this. i went home and logged into BC on my laptop. and i also ran into the same problem as you. and then i went into the Javascript log and browse around. after that, i cleared the log and tried again, and it magically fixes itself. see if that works for you. if so, then we can advertise that as a fix to the FF 1.5 + wysiwyg editor problem.

Yes, this is what I've experienced too.
Have you taken out "Today's Posts", which serves as a reference to threads that are still discussed. This also serves as a summary of some current discussions that may be of interest.
On "Manage Attachments" ie a facility to enable the attachments of pics, images, there seems to be some changes. I used to reduce the original size of my pics to 40% 'resized' and had them nicely posted, but now when I did the same for my last two pics they came out to be rather small - about half the old size. :(
What are the main changes that you've done?
Gollum 03-09-2006, 02:28 AM The problem has gone away now. That was fast work, Kwun :)

as i've said many times before, hallmark of a true master is .... speed:D
DivingBirdie 03-09-2006, 04:27 AM errrrrrr is there something wrong with the search tab at the top?
chibe_K 03-09-2006, 05:00 PM The new "Quick Reply" window at the bottom is a wonder, love it !
Hi Kwun,
Could you check the search function under equipment forum. I can click on the search and the box comes up. However, the box is gone when I click on the it to enter subject. When I click again, it tells me error on page. Thanks.
are you still seeing that? somehow the new software is clashing with the main menubar. i have removed the menubar for now. i will put it back once i figure out how to fix this problem...
jamesd20 03-10-2006, 11:17 AM My computers that I use have sorted that problem now (or I should say Kwun has sorted that prolem, so my computer isn't affected!).
DinkAlot 03-10-2006, 07:55 PM The new "Quick Reply" window at the bottom is a wonder, love it !
I wish the Quick Reply was default to Advanced Mode so I don't have do an extra step. :p
Woofsta 03-11-2006, 12:17 AM The Only thing I dont like (Sorry) is the quick search tab on the top left corner is now missing so i have to do this the long way =[.

Same Complaint. I use to go through the forums with the top left corner as Woofsta calls it. I hate having to go back to the beginning to go where i want.
