CAG Site upgrade - thread 2

[Brassed off]

I'm using Firefox and am seeing lots of elongated posts - the above post is one.

 

On PMs I receive, I have to read them like a column in a newspaper, there's only word per line and sometimes it breaks that word up to two lines. I can't see the whole PM which is difficult when I'm trying to reply to it as I have to keep scrolling up and down to read what I'm replying to! With the old format, I could see the whole PM in it's entirety.

 

The display shows a great big gap to the right of this post and a slightly smaller one to the left.

 

Is this just Firefox???

Is it poss to have the full list displayed under title of 'other institutions' please? Just think when peeps view it shows more info.

Firefox works fine for me--version 3.6.9

The little blue arrowie things next to last posters name have disappeared again - but when they were ther they took you to the very bottom of the last page not to the post.

 

(Still haven't worked out how to do a screen shot):-)Similie face (they're not working either in quick reply - drop down's there and there's words but if you click on them they don't work)

all the best Wils

Funnily enough the post I referred to is not elongated this morning MM! I'm using the most up to date Firefox so it probably is 3.6.9.

The post above has three words (one word per line), it has an advert to the right of it and the rest of the words below the ad!

Click on Prt Sc (usually top right on your keyboard), open a blank Word doc and just press and hold down Ctrl, then press V

Ha, thanks to a fellow Cagger, I don't have one little column in the middle of the page now. I clicked on the arrows to the right of the post (

Can do that bit but don't know how to put it in a post-

 

Went to advance so I could put a smilies on the end of that - but they aren't in there either -

 

Is it me????

I used to be able to just copy and paste into the thread but since I changed to Firefox, I've had major issues !

[robcag]

Before I start, I'm using Internet Exploder 8, so not an old version of a browser.

 

My biggest niggle with the upgrade is the not insignificant problem that many links are broken - either partially or completely.

 

This includes many of the previously highly useful links to other relevant threads/posts which have been posted by users within their posts which used to work but no longer do so. Previously these links may have linked (more usefully) to specific posts (rather than a thread in general) if the original poster was aware of how to do that (which obviously not all posters were) or sometimes to a particular page in the thread, but now various results are returned such as;

1. The link works;

2. The link doesn't work at all;

3. The link takes you to the very first post/page in the thread (Slightly more useful than No.2 but not very useful with a thread consisting of more than a few pages).

Also, I have many links which I had saved (and which I have tried to keep in some semblance of order under various categories!) which took me to specific posts (as opposed to the beginning of a thread or page in that thread) which now exhibit the same problems, meaning all my fastidious saving of links seems to have been a waste of time. In fact it is almost like having to start from scratch, apart from the relatively small amount of info which has been retained by my pair of brain cells.

 

In my experience, the number of broken links (especially those I had saved and were working fine before) far outweighs the number which actually work.

 

Hopefully an upgrade to the latest version of the software as intimated by BankFodder above will fix this particular problem, but I'll remain slightly sceptical until I see it happen.

Um... I believe we are on (just about) the latest version we're on 4.0.6 and 4.0.7 is out now.

 

I think you'll have the task of updating your favorites manually

[dragonkeeper]

 

I still cannot change font / colour / size / bullets etc in either quick reply or advanced.

 

no post times in threads.

 

for the rep button (star) I need to right click it for it to open.

 

All just minor bits. Still posting.

Preferred this when it was in Alphabetical order, made it easier finding people.

[Bookworm]

Loving some of the new smileys, was wondering whether there is anyway we could have a way of adding to them or if there is a way to have our own personal smiley bar (if that makes sense?) ? what I mean is I have a folder of smileys on PB which I can use if I need a certain smiley, but it means opening PB, choosing smiley, copying link, back to CAG thread, paste onto thread. It'd be obviously easier if they could be hosted on here within the forum. I don't know whether it's something that's doable within this software, but thought I'd ask just in case.

I've never seen such an add-on but if we find one, we'll install it

Hopefully Webby is reading this thread

 

You need to remove height=15.99 from the from this bit of CSS

 

.threadbit .threadtitle {
height: 15.99px;
overflow: hidden;
}

 

which is returned by

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/clientscript/vbulletin_css/style00015l/search-rollup.css?d=1285188716

 

(or override it in the static stylesheet)

[BankFodder]

I've flagged this up.

 

Thanks
