Multi qoute

I just clicked on spanks and your replies then New Post at teh bottom and got both your qoute magic aye

[sAsLEX]

Keep getting database errors on posting, and once You have posted the qoute thing like above it keeps them highlighted so if you post on another thread it still wants to put the same quote.

[onearmedbandit]

The 'view post' icons in sAsLEX's post above are only showing as the red x in a box thingy.

Quote Notification seems to be the problem so I have disabled it for now.

Yep, it's censoring the butt in buttons. I think I'll go get a steak pie and a V, then I look into it.

[Colapop]

We like. The multiquote is my fav so far... til I figure out how to use everything.

[Gremlin]

Under New Posts, the Forum is listed under the views column, with forum being blank. Using mozilla 1.7...

Dunno about the new way of timing posts tho "x days/hours ago"... I liked having an accurate time, like in ride threads, rather than trying to figure it out in my head :weep:

Multi-quote is very nice, as is having a link in the quote, to view the original post..

[sAsLEX]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO


My Sig dont work anymore!!!!

[sAsLEX]

And the popups for various things like rep aint the best to be honest.


oh and the mulitquote thing aint dark in the dark side.

I really should be doing more work.

[SpankMe]

My Sig dont work anymore!!!!

Have you checked your User CP to see what you can do first? The new version has better sig control. Now you have to upload images you want to use in your sig. This gives better control of sig sizes. As usual, senior members have higher limits. I've only done a quick setup of the limits, so open to suggested changes to them.

Its too large, I snuck in last time before you put the limits on it!

Rights side column widths are stuffing up row heights

Looks like a problem with the "Prefix" hack. Will sort it.

The multi-quote function will be easier than typing the codes. I have never used the quote notification so I wont miss that but I do miss seeing the swear words! I like the rep pop-up thingy as it's easier to refer back to the post you're repping. Not too sure on the post timing thingy, though it might be just a case of getting used to it. I wont miss saslex's gif sig cos it always took so bloody long to download any page he'd posted in....not that I did like the the sig. ;)

Thanks SpankMe:niceone: You do a fantastic job!

Pic should only DL once if your settings are correct.

[Goblin]

Pic should only DL once if your settings are correct.
I'm no computer geek...half the time I wonder WTF you guys are on about & the other half I just fumble my way through. Phuck nose what my settings are on but your sig used to take forever. Good ole dial-up!

[texmo]

Thanks spank the upgrade is fucking awseom good stuff.

[onearmedbandit]

Using IE at work, the 'Last Post' column is way too wide.

[Goblin]

Just noticed that the new posts page is a tad phucked up. The Last Post, Replies, Views and Forum are in the wrong places.
ps: Actually, the whole page is a bit skew-wiff.

oooo me get how to multiquote now....wickedddddddd....

i don't like how it gives a minute or hour as when a post was put in though would prefer actual time....instead of once it gets into hours it's not hours and minutes just full hours ...maybe thats just me....too many changes at once gah gah overload danger danger will robinson

[texmo]

I like the fact is says how long ago the last post was dont chage it spank.

[skidMark]

And the popups for various things like rep aint the best to be honest.

I really should be doing more work.

i always have dartk side anyway....and the rep pop up box is frigging mean...cheers spank!

[skidMark]

I like the fact is says how long ago the last post was dont chage it spank.

i like the fact of minutes yes but once it gets into hours it's only 1 hours ago or 2 hours ago etc....i think it would be better as hour and minutes

[Sniper]

Personally the upgrade has missed something completely, I see it has carried MarkAuckland over with it. Aside from that its great.


Seconded....

Post timing is bad
Multi Quote is good

[Quartida]

Wow...I gotta go find out what this 'rep window' thing is. I'm enthralled now! What other goodies await me?

I love new toys.

[Edbear]

I may be missing something, but when I want to give rep, I used to be a bit lazy,:innocent: and click on previously used quotes to save time typing...:shutup: CAn't seem to do that now.

As I use more I'll see how the upgrades go, but good job thus far. I join the others in complimenting you on your efforts to keep the site up to date and easy to use.:first:

New stuff in this version.Wow, heaps of new additions, cheers Spank! :niceone:

One prob i've come across that has already been mentioned is that i cannot upload from my pc or even link an image from a URL to my signature, every time i have tried over the past 24hrs i get a "Unable to save image" message.

[SpankMe]

testy testy

[Squeak the Rat]

testy testy

Best test I have ever seen. Please test some more:

I've noticed I didn't get a PM when some one just quoted me. I checked under profile and the option is still ticked......

[SpankMe]

Disabled quote notification as it was buggy. Will fix soon.

Looks like I will have to include sig images into the censor system.

[sAsLEX]

Testing?!?!?

i really don't mind eh :nya:

[Hitcher]

Here's a good 'un for you techo types to ponder:

Logging in at work (IE 6), just fine.

At home, from a bookmark or typing in www.kiwibiker.co.nz (both on Firefox or IE) I get this error message:

Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.

"That's very interesting, Hitcher," I hear you say, "But how come you're at home now and posting this? Eh?"

Good question. I got in by following a link from a reported post email.

Having arrived here, I can do almost anything (or so it seems) except go to the home page. If I attempt to do so, I get the error message:

Invalid forum path specified! Please edit this file and be sure to include the correct path for your $forumpath variable.

Am I alone? Any ideas?

Also I am having a problem with my RSS feed, which is now an HTML-free zone (from Kiwi Biker) and only includes the text of the post that originated the thread.

[SpankMe]

[ctrl]-[f5] from homepage to force a refresh.

[Hitcher]

[ctrl]-[f5] from homepage to force a refresh.

Nope. That didn't work (Jeez, it was a long way back here afterwards!)

[Swoop]

New stuff in this version.


* Super moderator permissions
* Atomic flood checking


Super moderator? Does this come with a blue suit and a yellow "S" on the front (red cape optional but reccommended)

Atomic flood???
Is this like "nuclear winter"???

All greek to me, but good work Spank!:yes:

[SpankMe]

Nope. That didn't work (Jeez, it was a long way back here afterwards!)

It's a caching problem on your PC or with your ISP. That was a message you would have got during the upgrade, so something has decide to cache it and is not updating.

[oldrider]

When I click on the last post thingy in the recent thread column, it sends me to the "administrator". It seems OK everywhere else! Cheers John.
PS:It seems very very slow now or is that my computer?

[sAsLEX]

When giving bad rep you get the same happy pop up message *the javascript one* saying

"Thanks for adding reputation to this user. May you be lucky enough to revceive the same Reputation back in turn"

might need tweaking that i think.

[SpankMe]

Yep, it is a bit lame. Suggestions to change the wording?

[sAsLEX]

Yep, it is a bit lame. Suggestions to change the wording?

DO we need the javascript pop up thing?

I am personally against it.

[Zed]

Yep, it is a bit lame. Suggestions to change the wording?"Thanks for adding reputation to this user. If you happen to receive the same Reputation back in return, then tough luck."

[Gremlin]

"Thanks for subtracting reputation from this user. If you happen to receive the same Reputation back in return, then tough luck."

Hitcher... didn't someone teach you to never ever click links in emails either?? :weird:

[ManDownUnder]

Yep, it is a bit lame. Suggestions to change the wording?

"Bling awarded", "Bling given"
or for Red
"Your Displeasure has been passed on"

or a generic "Your feedback has been posted"

[Ixion]

Does there have to be any popup box ? What purpose is it serving?

[SpankMe]

None that I can see. Will remove when I got time.

[Zed]

Does there have to be any popup box ? What purpose is it serving?Confirmation? :whocares:

[Sniper]

Confirmation? :whocares:

When you give someone rep now you get a neat little box that pops up afterwards. I think thats what Ixion means mate

[Zed]

When you give someone rep now you get a neat little box that pops up afterwards. I think thats what Ixion means mateYeah I'm with the program mate, but Ixion asked what purpose that pop-up box serves and I stated "confirmation". It's confirming that the rep has been given, and i spose it's beneficial for KB noobs who don't know or understand the reputation system here.

It is superfluous as you cant rep the same post twice so if they doubt it worked and try again they will be informed of the intial success.

[Zed]

Ah, I see, it didnt click while I was reading it.Lol, i've had my suspicions about you Sniper, i reckon to keep up with your average post count you speed read the forums, and sometimes you get the wrong end of the story! :shifty:

[The_Dover]

my suspicions about rainbow brite are of an entirely different nature.

eh, sweetie?

[Zed]

It is superfluous as you cant rep the same post twice so if they doubt it worked and try again they will be informed of the intial success.Yeah you and I both figured that out way back when, but obviously the programmers of the new upgrade decided to incorporate this feature in to make the package more user friendly. I reckon a humourous pop-up message would make the experience more enjoyable for all who use the rep system, hey maybe it can even be routinely changed to suit the mood of the site administrator at the time? or maybe that's asking for trouble? :shutup:

[sAsLEX]

Yeah you and I both figured that out way back when, but obviously the programmers of the new upgrade decided to incorporate this feature in to make the package more user friendly

Yeah thats why they have FAQ's for noobs to read to learn stuff!

Its annoying having extra windows pop up.

[Zed]

Its annoying having extra windows pop up.I don't care either way.

What is annoying is your bobbie boobie avatar.Reminds me of NC's Hoff animated av, and aff-mans animated yellow helmet av! My eyes, my eyes!!! :spudwow:

Of course Honey

[Joni]

Hi guys. - One small thing, with the upgrade comes the function that when you get an email notification of a pm or a reply to a subscribed thread, you can now see the content of the pm/post. People are just replying to the email notification which sends your reply to KB not to the person it was intended... once you get the notification, you still need to log on and and reply via pm or top the thread No-one sees the replies when you reply to a notification... just me.

Happened a few times in the last day or so....:yes:

[Quartida]

What is annoying is your bobbie boobie avatar.Reminds me of NC's Hoff animated av, and aff-mans animated yellow helmet av! My eyes, my eyes!!! :spudwow:

But Spank's one is fine, right? :blip:

Boys and boobs. I'll just never get it. :no:

[Jantar]

Boys and boobs. I'll just never get it. :no:
No need to get it. Just accept the fact you are the proud owner of something that half the population wants, but can never have. :yes:

[Zed]

But Spank's one is fine, right? :blip:

Boys and boobs. I'll just never get it. :no:Spanks one is censored on my screen, but tks for letting me know what i'm missing wonderwoman! :innocent:

[Hitcher]

My cache error problem at home has sorted itself out. Thank goodness.

[Wasp]

It seems that I'm no longer getting quote notifications pm'd to me anymore (or emailed) when someone quotes me - I've checked my settings (could have missed something), changed, saved, changed back and still no...

Though I suppose the quote notif code would be different now with that multiquote thingy....

Dont reply to your email notifications. I am having to email way to many people to tell them to log in before they pm.

Dont reply to your notification, it does not reach its recipient!

Spank turned it off for a bit as it was Buggy

[Wasp]

Makes sense, cheers for the help

[Coyote]

Will quote notification be working anytime soon?

[SpankMe]

Hey anyone else noticed the green blings have had a seperation? Maybe they pissed at each other or sumint, but they sure not all lined up close like they used to.

:Oops: left something turned on.

[Coyote]

Should be working now.

Sure does, poifektlee

[Joni]

OK guys - I have posted about it 3 times now, people keep replying to their pm notifications and not logging in which means the email reaches KB and not the intended recipient. I am spending way too much time replying to peoples emails asking them to log on before replying, even though I have posted about this 3 times now.

I will no longer be replying to these emails, not much more I can do to try and communicate about this.

[Sniper]

OK guys snip I will no longer be replying to these emails, not much more I can do to try and communicate about this.

How about making a thread Joni? Then they have no excuses if they winge about no replys or threads not showing up? :)

[SpankMe]

I usually just ignore those emails. If they are stupid enough to think they are replying to the thread/PM by replying to the email, then tuff titty if it goes nowhere.

[icekiwi]

How do I put a qoute in my signature?
Yeah I know already..... probably wrong place to ask....

[Gubb]

Yeah, dredging a non-related thread from 2 years ago is probably the wrong place to ask...

Click the Quote" button on the post you want to quote, copy the text, Select the "Edit Signature" option on the side, paste the text.

[icekiwi]

Yeah, dredging a non-related thread from 2 years ago is probably the wrong place to ask...


Thank you so much kind sir.....
2 yrs ago??...Mate I wasn't even born then....
