I'm experiencing a recurrence of the logout glitch. Is anyone getting the same thing?

+1 to losing the mouseovers on the sigs, they're massively annoying, more so than having your scrolling get bogged when you wind up over one when scrolling down

Also, can we please lose the mouseovers on the quote, report and logged links? Not only are they annoying to have popping in and out of your peripheral vision as you move tawrd, away or through them, they're a massive pain when you're in a situation where you don't have a mouse as such (such as browsing from a phone).

Linking to individual posts seems to be working in FF again. Nice work :yes:

[Edit] Actually, further testing shows it's only going to the most recent 'new' post that's fixed, with linking to specific posts that aren't last on the page still borked. Still, it's progress :)

I never noticed that the new post link stopped working.

Seconded :)

Logout issue hasn't returned to me, but the post linking is still not working. It's just still jumping to the top of the correct page

As per Starman01. If I make a new post, the anchor works fine, but it doesn't if I attempt to link to a post that's already created.

Or, how about assigning "Signature: Popup / Scrollbox / Don't Display" and "Post Toggles: Popup or Fixed" as user options that each user can set?

Cause I rather like the way it is now. But I can see and agree that it is not for everyone.

That's unfortunately a little too advanced for Sandwich, unless he knows the SMF user interface code really well.  Even I can't do that. :p

And yeah, count my vote as Strongly Agree with getting rid of the mouseovers.  I can tolerate a WIP theme, but if the theme is getting ready to be finalized then those really have to go.

I don't like mouse-overs either, but right now fixing the private message layout as well as moderator panel layout is far more important.

I just tested Firefox 3.6.13, I've never had FF installed so its as clean as it gets. I had no trouble following these links to correct posts. So that means IE8, FF and Chrome works for me.
Just installed IE9 beta and now I have this problem that message links aren't working. But it also seems that ";topicseen#new" isn't directing to right post either in IE9. In addition, I still have the old problem that "Show unread posts since last visit." isn't displaying all unread topics since last visit, there are plenty more after I click "All unread topics", but this doesn't happen every time.

After posting this message, I realized that the forums don't direct to my post either like it does in Chrome, instead it ended up several posts earlier.

Most certainly on the top of the page ? It happens to me always when I edit something.

Some other minor issues, just for information :

- I cannot post a link to my own useraccount, I just end up in the forum index from where I switched to my useraccount.
- the forums happy birthday message arrives 24 hours to late :)

I occurred to me to try what happens if I enable search-engine friendly urls. Lo and behold, message links now works with IE9.

Could you people report if this has also solved your issues with message links?

It doesn't appear to have made any difference for me in Firefox 3.6.  The post anchors still jump me to the first post on the page but it didn't break the #new tag (not that I was having problems with #new anyway).

Though has Sandwich actually changed the id/name thing with the anchors that he had mentioned last week?

Also, I suspect the jump to post problems are being caused by the anchor - the bit of HTML code that the browser is supposed to jump to - being coded as an id instead of a name. Apparently some browsers are fine with that, while others aren't. I'll change that this weekend.

Still no go on directly linking to posts. Or not with FF 3.6.13 least.

The anchors still don't work, but what strikes me as really peculiar is that they reload the page I am viewing. Proper anchors don't do that; they just jump to a section of the page, not reload it.

Can we also change the blue thread title text to something a bit more readable? :)

Clarify please - link to the page where you want to see a color change, or take a screenshot or something. :)

- Show unread posts since last visit doesn't seem to always pick all unread posts since last visit. Clicking on All unread topics reveals a lot more updated topics since last visit. I'm not exactly sure when it works and when it doesn't.

That's likely a programmatic forum issue, not one with the forum theme - unless it worked as expected in the Default SMF theme?

I have had that smartphone tag show up in my browser consistently (though I haven't noticed it this week) and never have any problem with the layout.

Sandwich: Where does that tag come from anyway, and what does it actually mean?

Just something I added in there purely for development purposes; the site uses different CSS styles depending on your screen size, and those are there simply to let me easily know which CSS style is being used.

+1 to losing the mouseovers on the sigs, they're massively annoying, more so than having your scrolling get bogged when you wind up over one when scrolling down

The reasoning behind the sig mouseovers was indeed primarily due to the scrolling issue you mentioned. I can look into some sort of javascript mechanism that delays the sig expansion until you've hovered over it for more than 500ms (0.5 seconds), or something like that... would that address the issue?

Also, can we please lose the mouseovers on the quote, report and logged links? Not only are they annoying to have popping in and out of your peripheral vision as you move tawrd, away or through them, they're a massive pain when you're in a situation where you don't have a mouse as such (such as browsing from a phone).

I'll consider preventing it for small screen sizes; that makes sense to me. As for being annoying on a regular computer, well, I suspect you're in the minority there. I'll be looking into being able to make it a user-toggle-able setting, but until (and if) then, you might want to try a Stylish style to prevent it.

The anchors still don't work, but what strikes me as really peculiar is that they reload the page I am viewing. Proper anchors don't do that; they just jump to a section of the page, not reload it.

That's due to how SMF generates said anchors; I think it's a failsafe in case you have a custom "posts per page" setting. Compare:

Regular topic link vs Specific post link:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,73803.0.html
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,73803.msg1457300.html#msg1457300

That's the general topic link and the link to the second post. Strip away the # and everything after, and you still have 2 different URLs, which is why the page reloads:

http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,73803.0.html
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,73803.msg1457300.html

The second one containing information about which specific post is being linked to. I bet if you did some testing with the Posts per Page setting I mentioned above, you'd find that things have to be like this.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
