[Firefox] The attachment window is too small

[LordDz]

When it opens, it's too small in firefox making it really easy to miss the upload button if you haven't used it before. Haven't tested in the other browsers,

Window

Maximize the window then.

Same for me, and I am using google chrome.

I've not really seen it as a problem before, sure it takes me 1 second extra to slide right to press upload but still

If you use middle scroll wheel press and move mouse to right, it takes 150-250ms.

So signal to brain that the window pops up: 400ms
The duration of the reposition event: 400ms+150-250ms= 550-650 ms

The time it'd take Ralle to make a decision to fix it and fix it: 3 minutes or more, depending on how easy it is to modify vbulletin = 180 000ms

Using the ideal variables:
180 000 / 650 = 276.923 ...

You'd need to use the attachmenths - form 277 times at minimum to actually make the change worth Ralle's time. That plus it will be out from Hive 2's development, I'd say to stick onto H2 development.

Quite pointless to bring it up, I got no clue on how long it takes, I just took something simple

But since you did, I will point out that 277 uploads is nothing. Hive has been here for more than a few years, I am pretty sure more than 277 files are attached to this forum.

Also I tried to make it seem like I didn't really care about this, however it seems like it was wrongly received D:

I'm pretty sure I said "you".

I'm pretty sure I said "you".

well that's absurd, that's like saying that I am the only one who benefits from the change.

Oh well, this my last reply in this thread. I fear it will be closed if we continue on this off-topic.

Why can't you just click the maximize window button? What the fuck is wrong with the maximize window button? I don't see any problem in that at all, unless you're spamming file uploading, that would be a pain to do. (maximizing the browser tab window)

According to my attachment list in my User CP I have 136 attachments alone.

"link"

I hope that hive to has a lot nicer features to.


I think a plausable solution would be to take away some of the space that is needed when longer file paths are attached to be shortened.

 

[Ralle]

Ah, I can see how that is silly.

 

[Vinz]

It is like that for me as well, Google Chrome. I usually just scroll. Or maximize if the files are higher than 5.

Looking back, I had 404 attachments. I went to the last page and saw my first spell requests made. How noob. >.<

 

[Orcnet]

I use both Chrome and Firefox and both had the same attachment window size, I never knew this is a problem, it suits fine anyway.

Use Pastebin, it has unlimited file size and POWER.

 

[Heinvers]

Isn't pastebin big-file size hater?

The upload window has always been that way in vbulletin...
It's just now that you realize this view lol...

But yea, vbulletin has it this way by default. I believe it would be simple to fix if you looked somewhere in the template files or maybe in the CSS. Instead of having the value (from what I see, about 500px?) you could change it to about 1000px judging that a lot of people now have the 1080p resolution by default now. If not, they'd probably have a minimum of a 720p and that should be good on there as well.
Or maybe somewhere in the functionality base of the website, you can change the overall window to be opened in full screen without the top address bar.
I believe I would make more sense if I actually touched up on web based programming like I did back then. Making templates for websites and what not. But since it has been about a year since I last touched PHP, HTML, and CSS, I.. you get the point.

I took a quick look and didn't find a way to change it. I know it's possible, but I didn't want to look too hard just now.
