Bug report

[Cheb]

Firefox 1.5.0.9, ASPLinux 11.2, bandwidth limited to 15 kilobytes/second.

When I open a forum page, Firefox first opens it normally (i.e. I can scroll and read it while it loads), then everything freezes for a long time (including any other Firefox windows) until the page is fully loaded. If I try to resize the window, I get this message:

Attention: Script does not respond
The script being executed on this page is probably busy or does not respond. You can
stop it now or wait and look if it'll be able to finish its work.
(Continue)(Stop script)


If I click "Stop script", the page is instantly unfrozen, completely readable except that some avatars don't show.

Using FireFox 2.0.0.2:

*

On creating a private message on the new board style, the bar containing the 'Post a new message' link switches to include a (useless) scrollbar:


vs


*

On creating a reply to a thead the return to thread link does not jump to the just created message. I sometimes would like to re-read such, but need to scroll around now for my entry. Possibly something easily fixed.

*

On clicking the links regarding 'Posts since last visit'. They're preceeded by the little orange block, which is supposed to take you to the first new post in the thread. At the moment they seem to take you to the whole thread-page that contains the first new post. Causes a bit of excess reading and scrolling.

Your problem is coming from the script that I used to round corners of things. I'll check to see if there's a newer version of it that works better, but I can't really do much else about that if your PC is slow with Javascript.

Pretty sure that's fixed.

The new PM notice in the lower righthand coner seems to be missing for some users.

The image with the skirts for ranking of the posters in subSilver seems a bit off to me.

Probably due to the background color. In the old server the member ranking gif had a black background. In the new server, background is the same as background of the poster's message. Thus in the new server, anyone below five skirts can see a dark grayed-out skirt(s) to missing ranks.

Also, in Larry's, Sunny's and Stacy's rank skirts, there seems to be some text that is unreadble.

FYI, I am view the site on Mozilla SeaMonkey 1.0.6 on WinXP.

[Sunshine Temple]

The "Topic review" at the bottom of the screen when you post a new message is shoved over to the leftmost 1/3 for me.

This happening to anyone else?

Missing the links 'View previous topic - Stop watching this topic - View next topic' which are at the top of each thread page at the bottom of the same page.

Skirts are completely absent in the new forum lay-out.

*is really sorry that Stacy is getting all thses problems/questions handed to her, since writing all this code for the forum is no small feat, and is prone to have atleast some errors and mistakes in it*

I'm seeing somewhat similar behavior in firefox 2.0.0.2 on OSX. Specifically, my browser freezes until the page completes loading. I note that the page reformats at least twice during the load process, as well.

Well, one bug on the old server that is fixed in the new server is the forum timestamp.

It is now reporting the correct timestamp for the timezone set in your profile.

Never had any problems with that before.
I'd suspect some sort of livelock: the script is started before the page completes loading, then it just stalls awaiting the rest of the data to arrive.

Could be as well a bug in Javascript implementation, or in Firefox itself, not necessarily in the script per se.

I have a bug, though I do not know if it has been reported before.

This new forum, in IE7, I cannot copy and paste unless it is on the screen, the scroll box does not scroll.

Only interrim solution I've found is to copy everything, then cut out what is unwanted.

For what it's worth, if I add a rule to block nifty.js to my adblock, the forum behavior is very snappy, again. It's fast and instantly responsive, and there are no page reformats during loading.

I'll confirm that. Niftycube.js causes reloads during the page load process in my copy of Firefox. Adblocking it makes the pages load much better.

I'm having a problem with the auto-log in. I use windows, and subsilver.

Do you use a browser with the "tabs" function, if so, do you use multiple tabs to browse fukufics and do you have them auto-open when you start your browser?
