It does it on the second page (and subsequent pages) of unread topics as well.


EDIT: Oh, and the per post anchors still don't work correctly for me, I still get dumped at the first post on the page.  I have FF4 on Win7.

Direct linking to individuell post is still not working I'm now using Firefox 4, but the issue is still there. No chance for a cure so far ?

Ok, I think I may have gotten it resolved. It's a wiley, tricksy one.

The post links are formatted like this:

Code: [Select]

<a id="msg1234567"></a>
Whereas the #new post links are like this:

Code: [Select]

<a id="new" name="new">&nbsp;</a>
Originally I suspected that some browsers only recognized name="" parameters instead of id="" params, and so I investigated along those lines.

This time, however, I noticed that the first anchor code had no content, whereas the second has a non-breaking space for content! I began wondering if Firefox had issues with jumping to anchor elements that had no content. A bit of Firebug testing seems to confirm it, so I'm gonna implement a fix and see if it fixes things. Gimme a minute.

EDIT: Looks like that did it for me. I also discovered what I believe are the conditions where post linking would and wouldn't work:

1) If you use a browser that doesn't recognize empty anchor tags (<a id="msg1234567"></a>)

AND

2) If you're trying to link to a specific post by it's post number (#msg1234567 at the end of the URL).

Linking to the new post in a thread using the #new ending should have always worked. I think...

[Mongoose]

Yeah, the new posts have always worked fine for me; it was just the direct-linking that was broken.  Looks like it's working now, though.

[Goober5000]

Yay!

[Starman01]

Yep, seems to work now. Good job

Direct linking appears to be working now. I'm not sure why the page still has to reload whenever I click on a direct link (the previous SMF version didn't), but direct linking IS working now. Many thanks.

I've implemented some enhancements to the forum theme when the Smartphone: Widescreen / Portrait modes some of you have noticed are in effect. Basically, there should be a lot less scrolling when viewing on small ( < 800 pixels wide) screen sizes, and the post quickbuttons that appear on mouse hover for the desktop will always appear on those smaller screens (where it's unlikely that there will be mice to make the cursor hover).

I've only tested it on an Android webkit-based browser and in the desktop Firefox at small window sizes. Let me know if it works for you poor Apple slaves (), and what you think in general.

Well I can confirm that it works great on an iTouch. Though the theme seems to always say that I am in portrait mode, however everything seems to scale correctly.

Something that would be nice would be a way to use the reply boxes sizing bar.

Yeah, iPhones up to the iPhone 4 have 480x360 resolutions (iPhone 4 has 960x640). Since the mode switch is based on the width in pixels (0-480, 481-800, and 801+), iPhones (and iPod Touches) never get above 480 pixels. An iPhone 4 would never see the smaller, Portrait mode. All of which I'm fine with; the point is to adjust the layout according to how many pixels are available to draw said layout.

Something that would be nice would be a way to use the reply boxes sizing bar.

Indeed it would be; unfortunately that's (AFAIK) dependent more on browser support than on website coding.

FS Network nav bar is now live. It's not perfect, but it's good enough that I'd like to hear from you guys what you think.

And yes, obviously it needs a lot more fleshing-out with real links. I've left instructions with the administration staff on how to add new menu items, so you can bug any of us about that.

[General Battuta]

Looks awesome.  Could you please put a large button, up there, which says 'Install FreeSpace Open' and links to the Installer? I know you've got it in a menu already but trust me, this is valuable. If possible make it a distinctive color too!

[Snail]

Hosted Projects and External Sites I assume haven't been filled out?

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I guess so.

If I recall, the old nav bar also had something similar, and it was one of the first links I went to when I first came here. Definitely a must.

If possible make it a distinctive color too!

I was about to suggest vermilion text on a light grey-red fill, but that might look off. We could experiment if the background fill code was re-enabled, but that's probably worth more trouble than it's worth.

* Androgeos Exeunt looks at the current nav bar again.

Oh, one more thing. Capital S in "Freespace", please.

[QuantumDelta]

Just a suggestion, could you make the links on that bar go left to right rather than top to bottom? If they were all on one line they would take up substantially less room on a screen..

Otherwise, great work

A1+ AWESOME!
Seriously, perfect

Eh? They should do that already. What browser and version are you using?

[QuantumDelta]

FF 4.0.1 it had previously showed up like a simple list of links at the top left going down the page, now it's a top bar on the far left in the same style as the forum control panel links
It changed (was fixed?) between the post and the edit

[Sandwich]

Probably a cache issue; I didn't change anything. I'm on my android phone.

[FreeSpaceFreak]

Yeah, before refreshing FF4 shows it as a vertical menu top-left of the page, looking slightly wonky. Refreshing fixes it.

[Snail]

Can we add #FreeSpace to the list of IRC channels?



(also, it's spelled Mibbit not Mibbet )
