Very sweet Wink

I'd like to mention, for Invision users that have disabled CSS, they need to enable it and updates will work, and CSS changes that you have made previously will override FM one's (thats fixed too Razz

)

Good Job techs
(this will keep the crows satisfied, for a while xD)

Nice updates, I really liked some of them. thumleft

I can't find viewcomments_body.tpl Please help me !

Not sure if it's a temporary problem... The signature font size is so small now.

by VITD October 30th 2009, 5:04 pm

Thank you forumotion team, we appreciate the updates.

by mohsin_ali October 30th 2009, 5:23 pm

very great updates......................

by Milunice259 October 30th 2009, 5:53 pm

In the update number 21, can I change the sentence "[You must be registered et and logged in to see this link.]" because It 's not my language.

by Walshy95 October 30th 2009, 6:03 pm

Awesome. Thanks staff!

by Guest October 30th 2009, 6:14 pm

Many of the updates are excellent features (in particular image resizing, quote nesting limitations, and IP address viewing restrictions), and they are extremely welcome.

But one makes me furious. Sorry in advance for the following boldfaced sentence. I need to make a point.

I DO NOT WANT THIRD-PARTY CONTENT ON MY SITE WITHOUT A WAY TO REMOVE IT!!!!

I'm talking about the Addthis button and its associated javascript file. Yes, I can remove the button through CSS, but at that point the Addthis script has already run and done its damage by querying the user's system and putting the information in a Flash LSO. I don't want anything like this on my board.

I realize that this button is an income generator for you, and it's why you added it. But PLEASE give us the ability to remove it completely, even if it means having to pay a small amount to remove it.

Thank you.

It's permanent. forumotion changed the DOM for signatures. On a phpBB3 board, using .signature_div instead of .signature will fix the problem.

However, forumotion completely broke signatures on Invision boards. There is currently no way to use CSS on Invision boards to format signatures. Evil or Very Mad

One hopes they see this mistake soon and fix it. How did the beta testers miss this?!?!?

by Renpatsu October 30th 2009, 9:18 pm

Thank you for the update.

One change I recognized as of today is, that the '[color]' tags aren't working in conjunction with '[url]' tags in post bodies anymore on my forum. Is this related?

I posted about this in the 'Manage the appearance of your forum' section on this support board:

I figured what the change is since the update:

Before the update you could have full URLs as name and color them as you wished, this won't work anymore though. To have the color overide take now, the displayed name cannot be a full URL anymore.

So to summarize:

Code:: [url=http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202][color=cyan]http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202[/color][/url

doesn't work anymore (full URL in display name), but

Code:: [url=http://forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202][color=cyan]forums-eu.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=136202[/color][/url]

does (without the 'http://' here).

1st of All i would like to say a big Thank you for the new updates :wouhou:

Thanx Tech Guys you Rock

This is the problem its only for the admin page not the mods
I had it in my head aswell that this would be a new Moderater page that the mods could have aswell as the Admin's but i take it its not nothing to do with the mods at all
Maybe this should be some thing we could let the mods have blackeye

shotta wrote:thx for all the updates but i don't like how the Automatic membership group thing set up with how many post..i thought it will be a way we can set it with out making groups like for :: example when some one join the forum they will have to make so much post to access that area of the forum not making bunch groups..like when they click on a forum that have so much post put in place they will see a msg telling them you need 50 post b4 u can access this area this what i loooking for cos when a new member join they can access the forum i have set post count for this will cause my forum to be spamm cos then ppl will post a lot crap to get that amount of post to enter that forum ..i like all the rest of updates....

I really like the Automatic membership group part of this but it would help if we could have the ranks Automatic so they can be set to the group aswel as this is a bit of a pain in the ass,
When a member hits the number we Will not know at 1st only until the member tells us or what ever,
The admin Then has to go in and change the ranks to all of the members that have moved ranks.

I have set it so when a member hits a number of posts they get the VIP rank but i will have to spend a lot of time running in and out to change the ranks of any memeber that gets added at that time.

Is there away of the tech's Making it so the auto rank runs with the Automatic membership group ??? please fix this little problem Thanx

Once again love the rest of the updates Thanx guys Wink
