Cellar upgrade

Undertoad · 03-11-2006, 06:38 PM

Yeah, yeah... I never announce these things and sometimes they don't go exactly correctly. I upgraded us tonight to the latest version of the forum software, and a few things are broken - worst thing is, I'm not sure exactly why. But nothing was lost and nothing will be lost - just a matter of tracking down these last few oddities.

Yeah, I can't seem to edit my posts anymore, and I always make these horrid typo's an spelin erwars and stuff, so nw what? Wah!!! (whine, whine, wine) wine!

Just a quick note. It appears that I can now once more edit my posts! Hurray! We now return you to the usual level of spelling atrocities courtesy Mari!

The Cellar overlord toils tirelessly while we post away in blissful ignorance.

Now it has a spell-checker.

I think all the basic problems are found, now it's little things like the Cellar tag.

What do you think of the "15 minutes ago" variety of stating the time of posts and threads? I've turned it on to see whether we like it.

Elspode · 03-12-2006, 01:07 AM

Awesome, I love it!

UT, you are too damn much. Up all night, doin' it right!

It pretty much solves my biggest problem with keeping up with everything. The "New Posts" thing never really worked for me. That and what ashke is about to say.

ashke · 03-12-2006, 01:20 AM

Yay, the new post results are so cool: "The threads below have not been updated since your last visit but still contain unread posts."

UT thankee.

The system should become a little better at figuring out what you've seen and not seen.

The quick-reply box is back to 5 lines! Some changes revert every time you upgrade, unless you re-apply them.

The WYSIWYG editor is redone and has more features.

There are a lot more administrative changes which will make it easier for me to get rid of spam and ban spammers.

I hope so, I got 125 results on my last "New Posts"! Yikes!

But it looks pretty good.

richlevy · 03-12-2006, 03:55 PM

I was wondering. Now I get '41 minutes ago', or '1 hour ago' instead of a time stamp. It's pretty cool, but of course I wonder if '2 hours ago' really means '2 hours and 45 minutes ago'.

However, when I opened the edit reply screen. the posts underneath it say (8 hours ago 8:25 am). It appears that I am getting different display behavior on the reply page than the standard thread view page.

Interesting.
