Site talk

Post by Peter »

Alright, made a mistake there. Removed the topic where we were talking about the problems.
Sorry. (I'll install an undelete mod later on, as it is _really_ easy to remove topics/things.)

So I took the matter in my hands and:
- Added a whitelist for registration mails. It's Outlook/Hotmail/Gmail so far.
- Modified the addon so it fits our scenario (the text of it, which you get if you register with a wrong mail address.)
- Cleaned out the database. (I shaved off more than 95% of it's size!)

Now only one problem remains: The transparent top bar. (You can only see this logged in.)
It works in Internet Exploder 10. But not in Firefox, or Chrome.
Any ideas where should I look? (I'm not a web-designer, so I have no clue which rule does Internet Explorer gets. Also there are automatic sites that can help me with this, but as it only happens logged-in, there is no way they spot this problem.)

Alright, defeated this one too.
FF and Chrome needs a specific background-color in the css file.
Now we wait for the Cloudflare/Cache to clear and see if it works as intended.
(I tested it locally and it was fine, so let's hope..)

In Firefox: Hold Shift and hit reload/refresh page. This makes the browser fetch the WHOLE page from the server and not from it's local cache.

Also it works now perfectly.

Yeah I know, but because of Cloudflare that method does not work. You have to wait until it caches the new content.
(Even clearing out the site cache in the Admin area won't help.)

Anyway, all is well now! :)

Not sure if whitelist mode is a good idea. Some countries may have local mail providers, which may be as popular as Google.

I'll try to make a list of those too. But really, they can just read the message, contact me, and I'll whitelist them in a few hours. I don't think we have too many local mail users at all.

In my country abv.bg is the largest email provider and everyone use it, except me. I use mail.com.

Yeah, after I added the rules to the .css file, it does. I mean.. it wasn't working until then.
Still haven't found the rule that made IE working. The IE "Inspection" is terrible.

Every time I clicked or added a rule my browser got stuck and one core started to run on full load.
This went on for like 5 solid seconds.

I mean... sure the site uses .css, but not this much...

We do have one more theme that Ironcross managed to find!
But it did have some problems (as far as I recall). So he is the only one using so far.

I'll change the theme tomorrow for myself and fix any issues with it.. then enable for user choice.

(I like how FluxBB looks like. But they don't update it too often, neither have the necessary plugins.)

The background of the menu does not work anymore for me. What the hell?
Update: It works for some parts, and does not for others. I'll investigate.

No problem here with the menu background. I tested all themes. But the Core theme is totally broken.
As for me i use the Graystyle theme. Firefox 21.

Yeah but Argentum2 is the default nowadays for all the members...except you. :D
I'll check Gray in a few days and enable it if everything goes well.

Well, it definitely looks OK, so I enabled the theme selection for users.
Is there a way to disable certain themes? (Besides deleting them?)

Like Core and the default one. They are not even tested.

AAAAND it's done.
Users now have the Argentum2 (as they always had), and can select Gray too.
Not sure if too many of them will do so, but at least they have the option.
