ATS 2010 Updates Thread - #(UPDATE Nov. 10)#

I know RmpSgt posted a reply but it doesn't show on my browser any ideas anyone..

Until they sort out the problem, here is a "cheat's" way to read that post.
Go to one of RmpSgt's other posts in that thread. On his mini-profile, click on "posts in thread". That gives you all his contributions to the thread, including the one you can't see at the moment. I discovered that trick when I found a similar problem on another thread.

I'm not having any trouble seeing it on any of my browser/OS combinations.

foxhoundone -

Your image embeds had double tags causing the problems with the page code.

Put an HTML break tag between lines 1 and 2 --->

That will split the lines where you want them split.

Well I tried that with no luck.

Never mind, thanks anyway.

I don't like the greyed out type. It's a strain to read it.
Can't read that blue type either. I have to highlight it so it turns white to see it.
Also - why are the "reply" & "quote" buttons nearly invisible?
And the Flags are also invisible......

Really guys, I know you put a lot of time and effort into these changes, but, sorry to say it was a change for the worst.

And now my name is also invisible?

Could it be the contrast on your monitor? The flags are in giant green numbers at the top of the page, and the reply and quote highlight when moused over...
I can see them fine on my screen.

I can also see your name just fine in white letters.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about regarding multiple lines in the custom titles:

Notice it works while logged in, but not otherwise.

So a quick peek at the page source shows:

< div id="postcontainer" >

< div id="posttopL"> < a name="pid9656162">

When logged in, but then uses this when logged out,

< div id="guestpost">

So the guestpost container would need to also include the anchor. Is this something that's going to be fixed? Or is this intentional?

The problem described above still exists ...This strikes me as something that should be a high priority bug because there are numerous external websites which have deep post links to ATS that are no longer directing people properly. If this isn't going to be fixed there's almost no reason to even bother keeping the per post anchors because it just going to give users a false sense they can direct other people, who many not be members, to read a post on ATS when in fact that isn't possible.

It seems like most development at the moment is dealing with skinning issues. This is more important than cosmetic tweaks because it actively prevents people from using the site for its intended purpose – communicating.

No that doesn't work either.

Thanks though.


I really don't know why they have to change all these little things.... I'm loving the new site but find it odd that silly little tweaks like this have to be made.
Why couldn't the line 1 & line 2 option stay?

Oh well.

I agree, the <br> doesn't work, but I've had no problem using &nbsp; to force the line wrap to happen where I wanted it. Some combination of regular spaces and nonbreaking spaces should do the trick. What are you trying to say, and where do you want the break? (I guess it helps if both lines are relatively long...)

Hi ATS fans.

Wow ! 42 pages, I can't check them all for the word [star] !

My question is: Can anyone STAR the last message on screen,
when reading them ?

I seem to miss that possibility, but only on the last one.

EDIT: FORGET IT !
I still am in LINUX, and Firefox, and
all is back to normal, now, thanks.
. . .bizarre. . . B-)

Blue skies.

I've seen someone else commenting on that point- but don't know where.
The problem seems to be browser-specific. I don't have it, anyway.

G'day!

I have an idea for something that to me seems as if it could be useful for ATS 2010.....

Sometimes looking for an old thread or a piece of external information can drive you nuts!

What if there was a "message board" or something like that where people could post a question about something they're looking for?

For instance, I'm looking for an old thread that associates the LHC with some old Egyptian pictures.....all very silly stuff.

However, I don't really know what to search under.

I'm thinking it would be very handy if there was somewhere I could ask about such a thing.

Cheers

It would appear that the owners have cut out the star feature as regards criticism of this topic. Am I wrong?

The new site is so bad that I am driven away from it. Enjoy your new glasses, and computer, everyone.

You can't "star" people in this forum.

That's always been the case.

Kind regards

Looks like it's all fixed, nice work SO =).

Can you guys make a video showing all changes and features so that we can graphically see all changes so we can take full advantage of the redesign?

That might be interesting

I now realize that the board discussions never allowed starring. So why flagging?

Thanks for clearing that up. If I were responsible for this forum, I'd want everyone to see how flamed we are for the poorly thought out changes.

My advice: can the IT staff. Nobody ought to have allowed this travesty to have occurred.

Have a look at other conspiracy sites which feature normal white backgrounds. It is amazing how much easier it is to read. I spent twenty minutes looking for the 'reply' button this morning. Wasn't it blazing and huge yesterday? Nows it's just dim and huge. Oh, and thanks for the broken scroll feature that won't work because ads overtake it when you attempt to scroll. I always liked those arrow buttons on my keypad. Cannot you owners see that this is poorly reviewed? Nobody but a albino lizard would be able to see the dim blue on black letters. It is just a joke. Yes I am upset because at least this site is fairly neutral and very intelligent. I have resorted to using Ickes site. Lizards control the white house and vatican, yep.

Im so glad ATS is not like all the other conspiracy sites. If it were, I probably would not be here.

To each their own. Can not please everyone
