Forum software update - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Paul_UK · 2nd Oct 2005, 12:37 PM

The owners of Empty Closets have just updated the vBulletin software to the latest v3.5.0 release. As a result there unfortunately a couple of little problems. I have notified them of these, so they will probably get fixed in the next couple of days.

The problems I have noticed are:

* Some smilies not working correctly (showing as code in the box on the editor page and not showing at all in messages).

* Forum title incorrect (currently says "vBulletin Forums" not "Empty Closets" at the top of the browser).

* Some avatars (the built-in ones I think) not displaying.

If you notice any more, reply here with details so it's all in one place.

Thanks for your patience!

Paul.

The default server name (that goes out in emails and is used for the RSS feed info) is set to example.com and needs to be updated to emptyclosets.com

Avatar/person info is displayed horizontally across messages rather than to the left like before, which was better.

quick reply not working. When I click on it, the status bar displays: connecting to www.example.com

Quick reply seems to be working correctly for me. I'll test again though.

None of the usual icons are showing at the bottom of posts (what was under the avatars previously).

I have just sent a PM to JD, Seth and Corny asking them to take a look at this thread and fix the issues listed.

JD · 3rd Oct 2005, 11:55 AM

We'll get these fixed up today. Thanks for making the list!

joeyconnick · 3rd Oct 2005, 05:00 PM

Please don't forget to turn on the RSS feeds!

I agree with joey, I liked the other display better.

JD · 4th Oct 2005, 11:46 AM

I got the forum naming fixed up, the RSS feeds turned on, and a bunch of other settings fixed. I'm still searching for the setting to make the post layout the way it was before... but I'll get that figured out shortly.

If you guys can point me toward the smilies that aren't working I'll that would be be great.

Smilies not working: most of them but particularly:

icon_cry
icon_smil
thumbsup
eusa_clap
icon_cool
icon_mad
la
eek
eusa_naug
icon_lol
wink
eusa_thin
icon_sad

Can't you take a look when you go to compose a reply? That's how I'm generating the above list.

JD · 4th Oct 2005, 03:07 PM

I guess I was caching them before because they were working... can you guys see the smilies above now?
