The giganimous feedback thread of March-April

#1 Made a post earlier here: www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/88767

#2 Already made posts here: "Date sorts are not value based"about the incorrect order of Recent Activity, and here: "new codeblocks!"about missing code in the new codeblocks.

TGE (Private) forums still don't show up in the Unread Posts despite there being new and unread posts.

The # of threads created info still appears to be incorrect. EDIT: for example, on my profile it says that I've created 5 threads, yet it only shows 4 when you click the link.

Only minor things, I know, still testing...

#3 Possibly a duplicate problem from MH's post, but
this resource is missing all of the text. It's there because I can edit it, but it's just not being rendered correctly.

#4 Font in the forums list (unread) is a bit small. I'm working on 1280x768 and it's a bit hard to see, if I bumped that up to 1680x1050 it'd be impossible.

code snipits are awesome

#5 I agree with the person above me. But I do love this new layout, bring some modern tech out here and help us.

#6 I want to make an advice in the home page there is the Spotlight Tab this tab contain a "summary" for the most new and important official blog, but however it show only a few part of this blog, the html page contains the entire blog and this make slow for complete download for the home.

For example right now you can see "Torque 3D Development - GDC Live Edition" In the SpotLight and it only show this text:

Quote:Wow...another GDC behind us. This was a big one. I dare say it was GG's biggest ever. Josh Williams and I gave a talk on Thursday titles "The Future of Web

However the entire blog is in backgroud including vimeo movies making slow the entire home page.

I hope you can understand my point, sorry for my bad english.

PD: by the way the new profile links are so COOL!! Good Work

#7 One main thing I don't like is the small font size used in the threads lists page.. not everyone has the eyes of a designer ;)

#8 Something is wrong with my post #4 here:
http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/88607

I tried playing around with the code tags without any success in making the message show up.

I think the same sort of problem is going on with posts #3 and #4 here:
http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/85799

#9 There seem to be a number of bugged resources, no content showing up for them Just the title, author, and comments.

Take these for example
http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/13640
http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/2286
http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/10462

#10 Editing a post on a multiple page thread still takes you back to the first page, instead of leaving you on the last page like when you make the actual original post.

#11 @Pershingflames...
CTRL and mouse3scroll with your cursor on the page. If you don't have a mouse with a scroll wheel..then you should have stopped using computers in 1994.(when you bought the mouse) :P
..and if that is true, then use 'ctrl and +'

#12 Just another vote that the text size is a little on the small size on the forum list page, loving the drop down boxes against peoples names though especially since mine say Torque 3D professional under the owners section :) YAY.

#13 @Eb: Zooming the text works ok in firefox, but it seems to break the layout in safari. And control-mouse scroll would only zoom the entire screen- who would want that? What a hassle to do this every time I visit the forums..

#14 RSS feeds per forum, I only want to see my product forums, not all of them. Save my preferences on searches, I don't need to search TGE when looking for TX solutions and every time I have to check off all forums box and set the TX boxes

#15 Why are some usernames in blue, and majority in grey ?

#16 The link color is gray, and the recently visited link color is blue, I think.. I was also interested, so I checked the source, and that's all I found out.

Edit: You have to visit the profile for it to change to blue.

#17 Awesome update!

The login page currently contains some insercure links (IE6).

#18 This is my report for the March changes:

• Any chances of getting the timestamp on each line of the "Recent Activity" on the member's profile? - Done


• Also on the "Recent Activity", would be cool that maybe that list show strictly the latest activity, and not the last of each category. For example, in my profile, under Recent Activity the first line(!) is a blog post I made Long time ago. - Done


• The quotes now start with "Quote:" can that word be removed? Its distracting, maybe a line to the left would be more effective for quotes, like gmail does (wasnt like that before?).


• Please add the new [ code ] tag to the MarkupLite Reference - Done


• The [ li ] tag doesnt work anymore. - Done (it works now differently)


• Add the List tags to the MarkupLite Reference page.


• The "All Activity" Listings doesnt bring you to your comment, but the forum or blog first page. Would be cool to mimic what has been done in the "Recent Activity" list, for the links. - Done [My bad!! The link was under the "Read More" option, center column]


• BUG: The MarkupLite Reference Sheet, shows as an in-page tooltip (like the member profiles) under Blogs and Resources sections, but open a new tab/browser/popup under Forum Threads.


Old requests:


• Get ride of the Community banner. - Done


• Make pagination optional, or an option for showing all pages.


• Make the "Email Address" profile's field be viewable only by registered community members.


• "My Watched List" to show watched Blogs, besides forum threads.


• After editing a post, the site goes back to first page, no matter where the comment was.

--
Im not only pleased by the changes, but also by the speed of the adjustments. Keep it up!

#19 @Novack
The [li ] tag only works inside a [ul] or [ol] tag now. This prevents invalid html from being generated, which caused some display issues in some browsers.

And we have plans for the community banner (and developer store and game store banners).

#20 Awesome Jacob, thanks!
