The software we currently use to run CoinPeople is a few versions behind the latest version. There have been several security issues discovered in the older versions of the software.

I think we'll have to bite the bullet and upgrade to the new version.

Some potential issues we'll have to fix after the upgrade:
1. Retro skin
2. No Friendly URLs (eg. www.coinpeople.com/Coin-Forum-f4.html)
3. Possible Gallery problems.

One big benefit is that we'll have the attachments working again in all browsers. I find it really annoying that I can't view attachments in Firefox.

I'm going to request the upgrade today and it should be done in a day or two. Please let me know if you experience any problems after the upgrade.

Sounds good. Hopefully all goes relatively smoothly.

Sounds like something we need. Good luck with it.

I think I am on the new updated version. Are the polls removed in the new update?

The upgrade is done.

Good news:
1. The skins are still there, including Retro.
2. Attachments work.

Bad news:
1. Gallery is not working.

Is everything else functioning properly?



Yes, I can see the problem with the polls. I'll let you know when I figure it out.

So far it is working in firefox.

I can see the ebay ads at the bottom of the page. Cool! I guess they'll disappear when I go back to retro.

Yes, they will not be visible in Retro, and I will also setup a "No-Ads" version of the default skin.

Thanks for the upgrade !!!


... I thought my 'puter screwed up somehow. All the forums had "new" posts. I've never seen that before

yesterday's posting frenzy????


However, I see some minor flaws in Retro, on Firefox:

One of 'm is the window I get when I press reply in a post.

Since one image says more than 1000 words (and uses more disk space than 1000 words too ) I'll post a screen shot to show what I mean

it's going wrong in the text properties area

Seems to work for me.....




Found another one:

I normally use teh quick reply thingy at the bottom of the page. There's this link "Show Smilies Pop Up Window" at the bottom of the page. If I click that, I do get the popup window with all smilies, but clicking a smilie doesn't add it to my post....

Finally I can view attachments through Firefox!

Thank you!

Dunno what it is , but I start getting large font text in some threads. It's the
"Reply Quote Edit" texts next to the actual posts. Normally they're about 11 pt, bold, but now they seem like 14 pt or larger, not bold

[edit]OK, they are bold too.... [/edit]

And by the way, how do I set the forum clock (time stamps etc.) back to normal? This AM/PM thing is quite confusing ...

Christian

Me too, right now it is 13:45, but the clock thingy is saying 1:45pm

God bless quirky american standards...

At least our monetary system is correct.

While looking for the time stamp settings, I found a setting

Type of text editor to use when posting
Rich Text Editor requires either IE6, Mozilla or Firefox

in the section "Board settings"

It was set to Standard Editor


Hoping that setting it to Rich Text Editor would solve the problem I described above, I set it to Rich Text Editor

To make a long story short: that's even worse, no editor shows up at all, so I went back to Standard Editor.

To avoid that we only seem to complain here:

Anton, Thanks very much for all the effort you put in this wonderfull site. Your work is definitely appreciated

Keep up the good work and I hope thise minor glitches are solved soon and without too much problems.

hmmmm, works fine in another thread where I had the last post (the one about the attachments)

it appears to be time-related...... according to Stujoe in the Whining-thread

Let's see if this will become a new post or will be auto-merged to my previous one.....


In the previous software, if you clicked a memeber's name, you would get a screen with some links like

- Find member's topics
- Find member's posts
- etc.

Not anymore

Whoa, I was wondering what happened with the new "My Assistant" that popped up right away!

To get polls to work clear your browser cache. The new version uses updated JavaScript, and it does not work when the old script is cached.

I will look into all the other issues later today. Thanks for your reports!

I had the same problem until I cleared my cache. Please let me know if it works for you now.

Click "Profile Options" at the top right and you'll see all the "Find member..." commands.

let's try.....

not yet.....




--------------------------------- new post ------------------------------------------------------



nothing happens when I click that

XP / Firefox / Retro

You are right, it does not work in Retro. It does, however, work in Default.
I suspect that the retro links to the old JavaScript somewhere. I'll take a look, but if I can't fix it we may have to wait for Stujoe to come back.

Interesting so much stuff broken in Retro. I can post though. (insert bunny grin smiley because I can't click on it.) Hahaha!

That's the most important thing. Smilies are just a nice extra.

Yeah, it might be time to say adios to the old retro theme and move on to the default one.

It may be easier to setup a new skin based on the default skin and make it look like Retro than try to fix the old Retro.

On the other hand, you can now switch between the new default and the IPB "no ads" version.

Christian

I imagine so. If a lot has changed, and from the stuff I see using Retos..it has, it would probably be tough to fix the old one. Unfortunately, I won't have the time but maybe someone else can take a crack at makin it ...

No link to Omnicoin I notice. Deliberate?

How about some good natural nekkid skin?

Not deliberate. Thanks for the reminder. I added the links to OmniCoin and Banknote Bank (BNB).

seems we lost our little icons, that showup in the address bar, ain't they called favicon or something like that?

I updated the favicon file. You probably have the old one cached.

Go to this URL: http://www.coinpeople.com/favicon.ico
Press Ctrl+F5 and you'll see the new one.

see it now, thanks

Anton, I'm afraid I still can't find it even though I cleared my cache and cookies in both IE and Firefox. Is it supposed to be on the left side of the button "New Topic"?

After you create a new topic, "Poll Options" should be under Topic Title. "Click to manage this topic's poll" Do you see it?

Ah! Got it! Thanks Akdrv!
