Here's a request: In the "Moderate" dropdown, could we get a shortcut to the Membergroups page? That would make putting bots into firewalled users so much easier.

...I wish I'd known about that group before now.  I've just been warning them up to 100%.

[Jeff Vader]

Me too, because
- it's easier
- it leaves a clear mention (on the warnings log) that the user is a bot
- firewalled users are, or at least were, just in a state where their posts needed to be approved before showing up to the public, but us moderators could still see them. No such things with a 100% warning.

Though recently I have been throwing warned bots into the group, because I am weird.

[Mongoose]

Okay...now I know why I didn't know about the group.  I went back and read the thread in our hidey-hole about how to find it, and when I tried to do so, apparently i can't even see it.  That makes me feel a bit better about not overlooking some big obvious button somewhere.

The rich mobile version of HLP is pretty slick, much better than the previous version that broke the browser or layout, but I seem to be unable to clear a drop down menu after I open it (eg. Opening the link that it provides in a separate tab).

This device appears to be using "smartphone: portrait" if it matters.

I tried to address a number of issues in smartphone: portrait recently (some a few days ago, some just a minute ago), but I'm afraid I haven't touched the menu system yet. Since it's a large dropdown menu, it's not something I can convert to display as a flat hierarchical list... not sure how to go about it TBH.

EDIT: Simply tapping on a blank area of the page should cause the dropdown menu to collapse.

Well, it seems to work okay as it is in that I am able to open the menu, scroll down the page an select the link I want (unlike the previous version (the old theme) where you had to "hover" to make the dropdown drop down, which is obviously impossible on a touch screen).  The only problem with the drop down menu is that I can't seem to make it go away.

I think what would work is to add a link to the bottom of every drop down that just hides the drop down because when I click on another drop down the old one closes and the new one opens. Alternatively, just having something to click on (like a pretend menu) so that the other one can close.

EDIT: Simply tapping on a blank area of the page should cause the dropdown menu to collapse.

That may in fact be the problem, I don't think I am able to just tap on a blank area, the browser seems to take this as a hint to zoom or scroll.

That's... very weird. What device are you on?

The default Safari on an iPod Touch (3rd gen I think) with iOS 5.0 (though this behaviour occurred with the previous iOS (and thus Safari) as well).

Ah, the wonderful world of Apple. I wish I could help you more, but I'm an Android man with narry a fruit in sight. Does tapping on plain text (not hyperlinked) solve things?

No. Only hyperlinked text works.

There's one definite solution to your problems... upgrade to an Android phone!

I'll try to look around for solutions.

I read through the first few pages of this thread searching for "image" or "attachment" and didn't find anything relevant... would have searched further but my router is being stupid.

I have an issue in whatever the most recent version of Firefox is, possibly related to my router being stupid, but indicative of a problem regardless. When there is an image attachment with a thumbnail, oftentimes when I click on the thumbnail it does nothing. I don't know if this is a themes thing or a my-router-being-stupid thing, but nothing seems to help it.

Also, if I clicked the thumbnail multiple times, the "viewed X times" count increases by the same number, even though every attempt to view the image failed.

Unplug your router, unplug your modem, wait 60 seconds, plug in modem, wait 20 seconds, plug in router.

If you've already tried that... Look for a new router?  I'd get an RT-N12 from Newegg, I have had 3 and I love them (they all still work).

I just implemented a bunch of changes to the smartphone forum themes, both landscape and portrait. Specifically, the header area should reflow better in both modes, and the main forum board index should display nicely in portrait mode (instead of super-narrow columns). Lemme know what you guys think.

Tested on Android 2.3.6. If it doesn't work, iOS can bite me.

[The E]

Ooooh, very nice.

I have a first-generation iPod touch running iOS 3.1.3. Does that count as a "smartphone"?

[Jeff Vader]

Phones can be used to make and receive phone calls.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

I tried it out anyway. It looks pretty good here.
