Policy link is broken.

policies.htm

I think you moved them, I'll ftp in later and relocated them back to the root.

Policies probably also need rewritten. Some of the stuff in there is like "no politics and religion", but E&C has been politics and religion for maybe 8 years.

Images not set to "_blank" window attribute

BUBBALOU wrote:Images not set to "_blank" window attribute

Hi BUBBALOU,

I'm feeling pretty dense... but what images are you talking about?

Apparently the phpbb developers changed all the link code in phpbb3 and removed the target="_blank" attribute in order to make the entire board XHTML compliant...

I'll ask again what images... I can easily change our theme(s) and add the target="new" or "_blank".. if it makes sense

img tags don't have a target attribute. links do.

Many of our site links use images, if I knew specifically which image/link he wants I can make it open in a new window for him

fix the template for bbcode URL tags to target="_blank"

fliptw wrote:fix the template for bbcode URL tags to target="_blank"

Ok, well it's not going to be as easy as I hoped it appears that the link is completely constructed with the script not pieced together in the template so I need to track it down.

I will keep looking.

May or may not be a bug, but when using this new text editor, I can't click to the right of the text and get my cursor to go to the end of the text. I have to click on the actual text itself, otherwise it just goes to the beggining of the sentence. Weird.

Also, where is the search function?

Also, where is the search function?

1: behaves normally in my browser, what browser are you using?

2: search is disabled until further notice because the database engine can't handle the index.

the onfocus event of the textarea needs to be dropped.

Maybe use a custom google search then? Just so it is there...

I used the search engine at phpbb.com yesterday and guess who returned the results! Ok I'll look into this one, hopefully it is a no brainier.

That was the phpbb.com search feature, the one on their "community" section which is where they are actually running phpbb still uses the built in search engine...

I was logged in and searching for the mods to get around the XHTML URL issue when Google returned or at least it looked like Google let me see if I can duplicate it

Ok you are right but hey look at this page...
http://www.phpbb.com/search/?q=links+wo ... in+new+tab" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Most likely this isn't an issue on our side but I wanted to point out that the counter isn't working. I think it's on the counter servers side.

was working just now when I looked in DescentBB theme which theme are you using?

KoolBear wrote:was working just now when I looked in DescentBB theme which theme are you using?

DescentBB but it appears to be working again. Must have been them.

You know that free counter sure has been pretty good considering I've run with it since 95 on koolbear.com and 97 here

Just fyi, I collapsed this topic back into just announcements, we have probably annoyed everyone with a global for long enough...

Or was it in feedback? I forgot...

I thought we made the New Message notice red when a New Message was waiting for you. DescentBB theme.

NewDBB_PM_not_red.png

I have notied that on occassion try refreshing next time. It seems inconsistant.

Not sure that this is really a bug. It's more of an oversight. The FAQ is missing information on what all the little icons represent.

Found a problem with dbb_green.

On the default theme, the "Thread Locked" image is still the phpbb subsilver default image. Also, the energy powerup gif is horizontally squished on the forum index.

Ok now they are fixed in all Descent Themes or they should be you might need to "refresh"

Thanks for pointing that out. I haven;t been in a closed topic since the upgrade. Maybe longer

Can you fix the logon issue ... FFS

you need to set "DescentBB Index" as the Default destination instead of "choose forum" for logging in

not to mention the auto forward upon selection crap!.... this is why you have a "GO" button next to the spinner box

otherwise we play the Captcha game for 5 logins on a smartphone.... until we realize it's incorrect list use on a login web-page....

you guys should always check logged out with a internet history folder wipe...

BUBBALOU,

back up take a breath...

Man I am so dense, would you please put that to me in dumb bear english and I will gladly see what I can do. I can tell it has your tassles all tied up

EDITED: I logged out cleared my cache came to Descentbb.net and saw the main forum listing.

I will log in with my Droid X and see if I can see what you are talking about. I do everyday but will look specifically what you are referencing.

Also why do I need to test anything, I can depend on all of you to find every little issue. ;P
