Forum Feature Requests/ Bugs/ Etc.
  • joeljoel May 2008

    I'm using Vanilla for this forum. It's nice and lightweight but requires extensions for almost all forum functionality. Let's keep a running list of feature requests, suggestions, bugs, etc and I'll get to them one at a time.

  • I dont think the "participated discussions" filter works, nothing happened when I clicked it

  • DramDram May 2008

    @ FrackTruck it seems to work fine for me

  • joeljoel May 2008

    @Frack Truck and @Dram


    When i click "Participated Discussions" Im taken to the categories page. Hard to tell if it's working since I've participate in every thread.

    Ditto that.

    ETA-And apparently I can't use the quote function...is it not enough just to hit the quote button, or am I just challenged in some way?

    You have to make sure that when you post the reply, it's set to format as html at the bottom.

  • Ahhh, thanks!

    ETA-Ok, now could someone kindly walk me through how to add a thread? Thanks!

  • DramDram May 2008

    Posted By: Not MandatoryAhhh, thanks!

    Just click "Start a new discussion" up in the top-left of any page. Clicking it while browsing a specific category will default the thread to that same category, if not you must select one yourself.

  • Thanks Dram!

  • dougdoug May 2008

    Really minor:
    So, if you look at where I quote Dram in the Nietzsche thread, the space before the emphasized word (there in the original post) is gone in the quote. Also saw it where Dram quoted Flanked in the Mass Erect thread: just before a link a space dropped out. Dunno if it's a Vanilla thing you've got no control over...

    Oh yeah I noticed that too. Not a problem per se, but it's there.

  • dougdoug May 2008

    Is there a way to get notifications of new posts for individual threads/discussions? I see I can get notifications for threads I start, but I'm wondering about getting them on other ones.

    Request:

    Look down at the bottom of the thread. See that Back to Discussions link? Could that "Back to *insert threads category here*"?

    I guess I'm just used to vB/phpBB style boards. Thanks.

    I dont think I can change that, but I will look. in the mean time you can use the category drop down in the sidebar to navigate quickly.

    Bah! Don't worry about it. I'll just figure out how, or get somebody to code, a greasemonkey script to do it!

    Yeah, they seem to be broken. No sure what the deal is yet. You can see them in your box, but you cant read them.

    The "Friendly URL's extension is breaking the PM's. I tried to turn off Friendly URL's and it broke the settings page. Now I can view the setting or approve new users. Im just getting deeper and deeper.

    Still working on it.

    What mod's do you have installed?

    I'll try and replicate the problem on my web server and see what I can find out.

    I FIXED IT!

    Actually I corrected my stupid ass mistake. Private messages are still borked, though.

    @Arcys

    if you want to help, I need to know how to get the Vanilla Private Messages extension (which transforms "Whispers" into real private messages) to work with mod_rewrite Friendly URLS.

    Is there a way to remove "Format comments as" and force all comments to be posted as HTML? Additionally, can we get the formatting bar to appear on new private messages?

    Might be able to force html on comments but not on the PM's. PM's is a hack for Vanilla and doesnt currently support the quicktags, HTML or deletion.

    Click the Discussions tab at the top. That will list all discussions in all categories that have received comments since the last time you looked at them.

    I don't know if something like this addon would be useful to you. It cross posts between Wordpress and Vanilla. I don't know how well it works. This way a forum thread could act as the comment thread for a blog/comic post.

    This is by no means a show stopper or anything but I keep getting this when I post.

    A fatal, non-recoverable error has occurred
    Technical information (for support personel):

    Unable to send email. The SMTP server reported the following error:
    Affected Elements
    Email.ServerParse();

    My Post goes through just fine. But I thought it might be something you'd like to be aware of.

    I'll third that, just so you know it's not a fluke. And even though I'm sure it's a server-side problem, I'm using IE7 on XP.
