Problems with the new design

[Brian Cruz]

If you're having problems with the new design, please read the New Design FAQ (http://forums.toonzone.net/announcement.php?f=19&announcementid=138) announcement first. If you're still having a problem, or want to make a comment, please post here. Thanks.

[Eddie G.]

Wow this is really great. Only one question, and it's not really a problem, is there a reason why there are no longer locations?

[BeastBoyWonder]

This is going to take quite a bit of getting used to, but overall it could have gone far worse. Its nice to see that the basic forum "feel" has remained intact, for the most part :)

6. What happened to everyone's location?

Location (which nobody ever seemed to use seriously) is now located only in profiles.
There's the location answer in the announcement (http://forums.toonzone.net//announcement.php?f=19&announcementid=138)

I'm scared, someone hold me...

Thanks Patrick and Steel, sounds reasonable to me.

[HumanWormbaby]

The only complaint I have is that you can't search for members anymore, but that's not that big of a deal.

[Artimus Gigan]

So this is what purgitory is like...



I'm all for change, but this new way makes it confusing

names top and battom if you had a disability it would be confusing

[Cyber E.]

One of the many new changes that I hate with every fiber of my being is the number of pages on each forum somewhat extends the page. Is there any way to fix that or no?

[Artimus Gigan]

Ok I just officaly check with Hades, Satan, and Ken Lay, they approve of this new design...

[Jaguar]

You forgot Britney Spears, Oprah, and the guy that invented the crane machines where you get the prize.

[Artimus Gigan]

no Oprah has been ousted and Dr. Phil has taken her place...


I still hacvn't heard back from Skeletor, megatron, Mum-Ra, and Cobra Commander

[Brian Cruz]

The show last post buttons on the main forum page aren't lined up uniformly. This is through mozilla 1.6b, they look fine using IE.
Yeah, that's a small bug in Mozilla (the "float attribute" or somesuch). If the vBulletin developers can find a way around it, it might be fixed in the next release. Or you might have to wait for a future version of Mozilla.

The Avatars and the posts below them make it look like theyre are two posts instead of one


oh and I heard back from the villans I mentioned earlier, they want to offer some of the admins and mods job oppertuneties, Cobra Commander has been very generious in including the Henchmen 102 health plan

That only happens if you have the forum set to display more posts than the default (the default is usually set to show the last 30 days). Go to the User CP > Edit Options > Default Thread Age Cutoff and set it to "Use Forum Default". I'll add this to the FAQ.

[Sora Takenouchi]

I hate this whole thing! I'll never get used to it! Change it all back!

Sorry, but that was my first impression. =p This is really gonna take some getting used to.

[Artimus Gigan]

Ya know it's not really a big deal, but the locations added somthing to the forum, some added humor if you will. I mean sure no one really took them seriously but they were a refelction on that person's state of mind, a metaphoric location if you will.

[livingfruitvirus]

i preferred the names and avatars on the side. now they look like a big block taking up space.

also, in some forums like AS and Toonami, the font is a size larger.

[JDuncan]

Not a fan of the redesign, but I don't have any major problems with it either. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.

[Brian Cruz]

Remember folks, read the FAQ that's linked to in the first post of this thread. You can move the avatar and stuff back to the left side of a post if you want.

d'oh. thanks

[Artimus Gigan]

Yeah but lurkers will view this board in 1988 mode, it really cheapens the look as a whole, makes it seem makeshift or thrifty...

[JTurner954]

I'm glad you can change the user info. back to appear on the left side because I didn't like it on the top of each post. Aside from having the thread starter's name appear under the thread title, I have no problem with this change appearance-wise.

Problem(s?): I am not receiving e-mail notifications. I checked my options and "instant email notification" is still selected. I am also typing this in standard since enhanced doesn't work for me (not sure if this is considered a problem).

EDIT: E-mail notification is working now. The emails were appearing in my spam folder instead.

[Artimus Gigan]

hookay changed it back so avatars appear on the left, but now my sig is more to the op then the center

[livingfruitvirus]

changing the user info to the left brings the font down to a size 2 for me, but having it on top makes it a size 3.

[Brian Cruz]

For me it's a 2 either way. Could be something Harley just fixed. Please try it again.

[Artimus Gigan]

ya know let's use the time machine to stop the admins from changing the board in the first place

to many new disruptions, to many new changes, it's a scary world

[Zombies8MDingo]

I like it, it's still just as easy to use, not had any problems at all, and I like the layout. Considering all the old designs I've read about I'm sure everyone'll get used to it.

[Artimus Gigan]

It's too empty

I mean atleast have the reply boxes be centered so when you're typing a emssage it doesn't seem like your screen is off

[Corrado]

This new design is pretty cool.

[Zebi]

The only complaint I have is that you can't search for members anymore, but that's not that big of a deal.
Yes, you can search for users. When you click on the Search button, you'll get a dialog box to type in your search keywords, and underneath that, an Advanced Search link. You can search for users in the Advanced Search.

Has anyone seen the new design of the Marvel Animation forum yet? How about the two new hosted sites that have been added to the menu up on the very top? I still have to post announcements about them. Busy day!

[Red]

Has anyone seen the new design of the Marvel Animation forum yet?

Yep, A very needed improvement. Great Work!

Oh and I love the new Cartoon Network Forum Logo!

[Cyber E.]

I really enjoy the Marvel layout, actually. It has nice, dark colors. Very easy on the eyes. I don't see why the CNF logo had to change, though. The last one covered the forum more and this one looks a little gritty.

It could just be the images used, but whatever.

[BeastBoyWonder]

I noticed both the Marvel redesign as well as the addition of one of the hosted sites a while ago... Beyond Evolution has been one of my favorite websites for a long time, and its nice to see that it hadn't closed down! I'm not exactly crazy about the Marvel board redesign though.

[Terminatah]

How can I shrink the font size in all the forums? It's huge. This is the only one I've seen so far where the font is normal.

[Zombies8MDingo]

Not wanting to sound like a total suck-up but considering all the hard work that went into the redesign, not to mention TZ on a daily basis we're pretty lucky to have such a cool site, can't believe people are complaining.

[Sue_Jackson]

Whoa.....this is different. I come back here, and it's all different. It's nice! It's gonna take some time getting use to. I think I'm gonna like it.

Better now?

[AndreaBeaumont]

Question: Are the backgrounds on the threads gonna be gray from now on? Because in the Batman RPG it was black/dark dark gray. The only reason I'm wondering is because in the RPG to dictate different characters I used different font colors. Now my light light blue font that I used for my characters in previous posts is barely visible to read. It's not that big of a deal...just wondering if I have to change my colors.
Thanks,

PS. I LOVE the new editor in here!(the message box writing thingy) So simple!^_^

[Alex Toon]

It hasn't been a day and I've gotten used to the new design.

[Terminatah]

Better now?
No. It's still big in the Entertainment board, the Cafe, and I don't know what else.

-Terminatah

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

Remember that old problem (which had been partially resolved) where the various drop-down links at the top would be hidden behind the banners at the top of the page? Well, it seems to be a lot worse now!

When I come here, I always go to the home page first (to read headlines and such), which is what I have saved as a favorite, then click on the "Community" button at the top to go through to the forums. Well, on this latest visit, I had to try FOUR times before the list wasn't blocked by the banner! Everything between "Community" and "Toon Zone Crew" is blocked by the banner.

If "Forums" was listed first when the list drops down, instead of a repetition of "Community," maybe this wouldn't happen. Dig?

P.S. I'm gonna miss the location feature! I know most didn't use it seriously, but it was very much a way for people to express themselves and have fun with title/location interplay. :)

[Harley]

No. It's still big in the Entertainment board, the Cafe, and I don't know what else.

Should be okay now. Lemme know if it's not.

[Corrado]

Another good thing about this.

I was finally able to delete most of my PM's that have been around for weeks.

It's a good thing.

[Kaiser0120]

It's too spacious and bulky. I liked the old, more compact look. This is so spready out and wide that it's almost confusing, and I liked it when I was able to see almost all the threads without having to scroll. ;.;

OH well. I think it sucks, but some people seem to like it. *Shrugs.*

I definitely agree with you, Kaiser. It's needlessly big, most of the gray box is empty. And, atop it all, I just think it's ugly. I realize tha tsomeone designed this and put work into, etc. but I still don't like it.

I agree. It looks like a lot of effort went into it, and its not the fault of the Toon Zone Crew for the design flaws, but its just an inherently weak design. However, I think the Crew deserves major props for something that could have been a complete disaster and turning it into a palatable forum interface.

[Sir Gatts]

This seems to be a more efficient design as the pages seem to load faster. Signatures however, need greater separation.

Also, I believe the Install font on demand (Internet Explorer) is broken on this forum as I ran a check on another computer lacking certain fonts. Note that my entire signature uses the Script font.

[Harley]

Nothing personal taken by it. I didn't really move too much around as far as the placement of things on the actual forums. Nor did Brian. Most of what we did was trying to get it to feel as close to the old forums as possible... while attempting to bring a little bit of the current TZ design feel to it, which was more than enough work in and of itself.

I believe the VB guys were trying to cater to as many resolutions as possible when they rebuilt the styles. I think they were going as far down as 640*480, which few people use anymore. *shrugs* So, when you're looking at it in higher resolutions it looks like there's a lot of wasted space.

I'm at 1024*768 and it's somewhat bearable. What're you at? What browser and what platform?

[Harley]

Can you post a screen grab of what it looks like? And let us know what browser and operating system you're using... and what resolution you're at.


Thanks!

[Roman Legion]

For some reason, despide setting the user info to display on the left, it still shows up between posts on certain forums... like this one.

Also, on the main forum page (and the forums still displaying user info on top, and on the reply pages), everything is squished into a tiny column in the middle of the screen, like this:

http://www.toonzone.net/romey/temp/newforum2.jpg

And about the darn horizontal scroll...


That only happens if you have the forum set to display more posts than the default (the default is usually set to show the last 30 days). Go to the User CP > Edit Options > Default Thread Age Cutoff and set it to "Use Forum Default". I'll add this to the FAQ.

If you do this, you can't view posts past the date max number of days set. This is greatly annoying if one wishes to view older posts, because it forces one to live with ridiculous horizontal scrolls so long, it makes the whole forum impossible to use.

As an super-admin, your unalterable profile left you stuck with a warped hybrid of the old and new designs. I've set you to the new style and all the problems you mentioned should now be fixed.

[Nick Biped]

I have to say I found having the user info at the top of posts a bit awkward, so I'm glad for the option to move it to the left, as it was before. And I do kind of miss not seeing the "location" of people readily available in user info (even though I know it's still in profiles). The locations were usually pretty amusing and fun to read.

That said, I have no other real complaints about the board redesign. :)

[Brian Cruz]

...now I can't access the forums directly anymore. I had to go through the "News" section, and access the forums that way. That definitely needs to be fixed.:shrug:

Edit: I just noticed this, but I'm also getting "Runtime Errors" galore. I don't know if this is Toon Zone's problem, or a problem with the software in general. Just thought I'd also point that out.

Do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5) on the pages where you get the runtime errors to get rid of them. Why can't you access the forum directly? What happens?

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

It's the exact same problem I'm having. (actually, Xada-Hgla just posted an update and while it's not quite the same problem, they both stem from the same area) I went into detail about what the problem is in post #50 of this thread. I'm hoping you'll check that out. :) I'm sure you'll remember what I mean.

[Xada-Hgla]

Do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5) on the pages where you get the runtime errors to get rid of them. Why can't you access the forum directly? What happens?Ok, doing the hard refresh took care of it. Basically (although it's no longer important) I would click on "Community" and nothing would happen. Anyway, since the problem is now solved, I guess it's irrelavent.:shrug:

[Catlover]

I like the new design, but one unrelated question, do I have to pay to use the forums now?

[Cyber E.]

I don't think any payment is required or going to be required to post here. It wouldn't really help business. ;)

But I already paid with my soul, does that count?

EDIT: Whenever I post in DCAU I have to change the color of my post to white, otherwise it'll come out as black. Do I need to set something or is this some kind of malfunction?

[Jaguar]

It's starting to remind me of Windows XP.

[The Detective]

I hate to be so negative but I'm going to be honest. Brutally. I hate it. I can't change the avatars back to the left fast enough, on the top it adds to much space and leaves the actual post box lookign all loneley and bare. I miss the buttons, it's going to be a hassle to have to go to someone's profile just to PM or e-mail them. I love the new Marvel Board design, a lot bettr than the old one. Oh well hopefully I'll get used to it.

If you click on a user's username, a menu should pop down with options to email or PM them. Also, you should only have to change the avatars back to the left once.

[Narfpinky]

I have one complaint (or problem if it's just me) about any post that has a qoute of previous post in it.

I'm on Mac OS 9.2 and with....

IE 5.1 (Mac) Quoted text sometimes appears as how I am used to, now with a contrasting background (perfectly fine)...

But, some quotes are in a narrow inset window (about 3-4 lines deep) with scroll arrows I have to use to read the quote. Others have the inset window, except half the width; hence I have to scroll to read the quote left to right and down.

This seems to vary within a thread, especailly this one (I have screenshots whomever wants to see them)

I tried Netscape 7.02 (Mac) and it appears to do the same thing.

Is this part of the new design?
If so, I have to now scroll through qoutes instead of seeing them in full in plain view as I page down a thread. (there are some good sized qoutes, remember, poit)

I've logged out and back in and that doesn't seem to affect that issue

[Sheamon]

I hated the new layout at first... ...then I realized I could switch the avatars and other info back to the left. So outside of the fact that maybe the avatar/info bar is a little too far to the right, got no complaints. Good job! :)

[BobChief]

My only gripe so far is when a given forum's header boxes are in blue or navy and certain text in the header is in black.

Are color schemes like this adjustable by posters, or not?

[The Drizzle]

This should be fixed now.
Indeed it is. Thanks Brian.

[Brian Cruz]

With the upgrade to vB3-RC2, the following problems are now fixed:

--"Last post" column on main forums page sticking out too far in Mozilla and Opera
--Forum jump items not working (Who's Online, Private Messages, etc.)
--Double slashes in links

We're still trying to fix the problem with the menu apearing behind the ads. It would be helpful to know what browsers this happens in.

I'm hoping that the upgrade to vB3-RC2 also fixed Thrax's and Narfpinky's problems, but if not please let me know.

[Brian Cruz]

[Good Ol' Batmanuel!]

IE5 for me. I should try and find the old thread where this was brought up the first time...

Update: Ok, I found it (http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=83570&highlight=banner+ads) and here's what you told us: "The problem was that the ads were displayed in a I-Frame, while the menu is on a layer. On some browsers layered elements appear behind windowed elements, hence the menu being behind the ad. I took the ad out of the I-Frame and that fixed it. I'm pretty sure Amazon's ads are served in I-Frames by default, which is why I figured those would still be a problem."

I remember that the problem was a good 90% fixed back then, but now it's like starting all over again. There are few banners now that don't cover the options, Amazon or not. I'm surprised more people aren't mentioning this. In that old thread, we have people affected by it using IE5, IE6, Macs, different resolutions, etc...

One thing I mentioned before is about the redundancy of the options. If "Forums" was the first option when we hit the Community link instead of the orange box reminding us that it is in fact "Community", then going to the forums wouldn't be a problem, because the first option that drops down isn't covered by the banner, anyway. I know this is just a silly little thing to bring up, though. :p You're all working hard to make this place very cool and the work really shows. No matter how many changes are made to the system, the people and information reign supreme.

[Brian Cruz]

If you do this, you can't view posts past the date max number of days set. This is greatly annoying if one wishes to view older posts, because it forces one to live with ridiculous horizontal scrolls so long, it makes the whole forum impossible to use.

I think it was fixed by removing all the Amazon ads, since those are the only ones that use i-frames (and I might have to do that again if I can't find another solution). I guess the reason no one else has mentioned this problem is that the newest versions of most broswers don't have this problem (except for Opera and IE for Mac, I believe).

[Pilmedium]

I noticed two other changes.

1) * next to poll choice that the viewer of the thread voted for was replaced by italic text of that choice. That is good, because it is actually less distracting.
2) The “last post” anyone made is no longer mentioned in the profile. A forum search would therefore be required in order to find it. I will definitely miss that feature. :(

The "last post" feature caused a search to be run everytime you tried to look at someone's profile (ever notice how long it took for profiles to load? That's why). It's much better to click on the "find all posts by" link than to have the forum search automatically.

[Brian Cruz]

Hmm, all the text sizes are specifically set. Check to see if your browser has text sizes set to something other than "medium" or "100%" (View > Text Size). If not, try logging out and in again, and pressing CTRL+F5.

[Nick]

Do a hard refresh (CTRL+F5) on the pages where you get the runtime errors to get rid of them. Why can't you access the forum directly? What happens?
I get those stupid runtime errors on every single Toonzone forum page and pressing CTRL+F5 doesn't work for me. :( :mad: :sad: Is there another way?

[Brian Cruz]

Hmm. Try logging in and out. That will clear the forum cookies which are probably showing you an incomplete style (it's the only reason I can think of for the errors).

You can also try hitting the refresh button on your browser a few times while holding the ctrl button. If that still doesn't work, try deleting your internet cache (in IE it's Tools > Internet Options > General > Temprary Internet Files > Delete Files). You might also try the "Delete Cookies" button which is right next to "Delete Files".

And if none of that helps, you can turn off the error reporting in IE by going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing and unchecking "Display a notification about every script error"

[Corrado]

I noticed that Interests is now Other Interests. And it's after Cartoons now.

Wonder why??

[HumanoidTyphoon]

I noticed that Interests is now Other Interests. And it's after Cartoons now.

Wonder why??I'm guessing because it's a cartoon forum so that like your main interest and other interests follow. Or they just decided it looked better that way....

Something I've recently noticed is a thing for group memberships. Don't know if it's always been there or not. It says there are currently no usergroups to join though.

[Red]

Yeah, IMO that's a waste of space. I doubt we'd have any usergroups here..

[Xada-Hgla]

Ever since TZ switched to the new design, it seems that every now and again when I try to access the forums, I get disconnected. Furthermore, it seems to only happen with Toon Zone. I didn't say anything earlier, because I hadn't made the "TZ connection" until now.

Is anybody else having problems with seeing "new post" indicators when you return to the site? I used to get the indicators and the "go to first unread post" icon without fail, but after the redesign, I find I'm usually not getting them.

This has happened on Netscape 7 on Windows XP and Safari on MacOS X, both of which are set to accept cookies from the originating website only. I also never explicitly log out of the forums, if that matters.

Thanks!

Ever since TZ switched to the new design, it seems that every now and again when I try to access the forums, I get disconnected. Furthermore, it seems to only happen with Toon Zone. I didn't say anything earlier, because I hadn't made the "TZ connection" until now.

I'm using:

AOL 9.0
Windows XP

Disconnected from AOL? I can't think of anything that could cause that.

That's usually the sign of a corrupted cookie, so I'd suggest logging in and out at least once to reset it. And if that doesn't help trying deleting your cookies entirely.

For some reason, despide setting the user info to display on the left, it still shows up between posts on certain forums... like this one.

Also, on the main forum page (and the forums still displaying user info on top, and on the reply pages), everything is squished into a tiny column in the middle of the screen, like this:

http://www.toonzone.net/romey/temp/newforum2.jpg

And about the darn horizontal scroll...



If you do this, you can't view posts past the date max number of days set. This is greatly annoying if one wishes to view older posts, because it forces one to live with ridiculous horizontal scrolls so long, it makes the whole forum impossible to use.
Hmmm...always wondered what one of those secret forums was.

Now I know. :p

I have a slight problem now, the ends of quote boxes are being cut off. Not much is lost, just small words and the end of some words.


I don't think any payment is required or going to be required to post here. It wouldn't really help business. ;)

But I already paid with my soul, does that count?
Thanks. :)
Oh, about the soul thing, I think you have to send it to Tyler L. I think he's the one in charge of that department. ;) :p

Sometimes, but not every time, when I press the back button in my browser (IE5) it takes me to a "this page cannot be displayed" message instead of the previous page. When it does that, a different web address appears in the address bar. Here is one such example:

...and the second half of the smilie in the quote that is within your post. I have been having that problem, too.
EDIT: The "d" in "and" in this quote is cut off at the edge of my screen.

The quote box problem should be fixed now.

when i change my signature (which is quite a bit :sweat: ), i'd save it and go and post on toon zone like usual. when i see my posts inside the different forums, my signature has a couple added "enter"s in it. why's that?

I still have that problem, and it seems to be exactly the same as it was on January 17. :confused:

Ok, I think I've discovered something interesting: I'm still having the problem, but it only seems to happen when I access Toon Zone via the main page (that is, www.toonzone.net (http://www.toonzone.net/)) Things seem to work fine (forum-wise, at least) if I access the forums directly (forums.toonzone.net (http://forums.toonzone.net/)) Just thought I'd let people know (if they have been encountering something similar to what I have).
