Hive 2 Feedback

[Ralle]

I noticed another thing. Even if I sort resources according to rating, it resets to creation date if I click next page...

Fixed

 

[shinji]

Fixed

Yay!!!! +Rep

 

[Kyrbi0]

Ralle, you are the bomb.

That is all

 

[Ralle]

Haha, thanks. I try to fix all these issues as fast as I can.

 

[Roland]

Your new hiveworkshop sucks. Just kidding...

Here's what I want for the new hive upgrade
-Bring back the Hoasis, Ogre, Goblin and Voidwalker Smiley bundle
-Restore the Hivegroups
-Enforce IP Banning on the site
-Add a Flag counter where people are specifically online in a location.
-Refurbish the chatroom's and restore back the smiley system
-The banned users must have a blank avatar and a "BANNED" User title, but the problem is it's not visible for the other banned users. (HFR, Mr.Bob, Joe-Black, Karassu, trolman, Kas and Other banned users.)

-Bring back the Hoasis, Ogre, Goblin and Voidwalker Smiley bundle]

Being imported soon.

-Restore the Hivegroups

Social Groups? Check OT.

-Enforce IP Banning on the site

We have IP banning. The ban system is pretty good here, let's put it like that.

-Add a Flag counter where people are specifically online in a location.

Creepy stalker mode?

-The banned users must have a blank avatar and a "BANNED" User title, but the problem is it's not visible for the other banned users. (HFR, Mr.Bob, Joe-Black, Karassu, trolman, Kas and Other banned users.)

Banned users have strikethrough user names.

 

[Roland]

Also, Enforce the Website against these spamming bot users. Until now after the upgrade it's still here and still ransacking the sections of Hive.

 

[Eagle XI]

somebody has given me a reputation point for an bundle that is actually an thread that isnt mine either,
derp.

 

[Slaver]

Never thought I took this site for granted until today when I realized I can't properly search for models. Barely ever used the forums, didn't know the place was this alive, but hopefully that's a good reason to suspect it will all get fixed in time. Good luck.

 

[Azsure]

Apparently banned users now can't access to their infraction page, or post in the Admin Contact, because they're restricted to all forums, this should be fixed.

 

[Ralle]

Yeah. That's just how it is now unfortunately. They will however get information about their ban AFAIK.

How did you think this was dead if there were still models being made?

 

[MattNJ]

I think it would be better if maps were listed by edit date, instead of by create date, like it was on the old Hive site.

 

[chobibo]

I just logged in and saw the changes

My reaction:

Hidden

 

[A Void]

The album thumbnails are too big, plus they stretch the smaller images instead of keeping correct aspect ratio.

 

[Eagle XI]

In my confusion i have uploaded several portraits seperate of the actual model(s), can you tell me how to delete my uploaded resource(s), do need moderator for it ?

------

actual feedback: click link to your own resource at the stage where subcategories are listed in a repository displays page about insufficient privilege.
when searching model or skins, at the results page links to resources residing in substandard section will not work correctly, taking to an page stating resource unavailable, even when they are actually available.

 

[Chaosy]

I can't visit Roland's profile because of a ban that is not visible?

I'll also add this:

derp.

Because it happened when you gave me rep an hour or two ago Ralle.

 

[Rex.]

Everything is great but the search function is worse than Hive 1.

 

[DESTROYER123]

No colours in chat...
Btw first post

 

[Dr Super Good]

Forum avatars from Hive 1 have become blurry. This is because Hive 1 used avatars of 100*100 pixel size yet Hive 2 displays avatars at 96*96 pixel size so resampling is occurring. The recommended avatar size is said to be at least 200*200, however if you are using pixel art you need the exact size as displayed otherwise the image will not look good.

If Hive 2 uses multiple avatar sizes for various purposes then users should be informed of the required dimensions of each and given an opportunity to upload their own to avoid problems with automatic resampling.

 

[Chaosy]

I actually just put the same image as my avatar which fixed the blur for me.

Somehow the port messed it up.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Profile avatar image is 192*192 pixels while forum avatars are 96*96 pixels (quarter size). Hive 1 avatars were 100*100 pixels. The blur is introduced by resampling the 100*100 pixel Hive 1 avatars into 96*96 pixel Hive 2 avatars.

If one is using a large full-sized image as your avatar (such as myself) then simply re-uploading it will fix it since then Hive 2 will automatically build the needed images from the full sized image which produces sharp results (as opposed to resampling a 100*100 image which does not).

If one is using pixel art or a specifically 100*100 sized avatar then one can probably crop a 2 pixel boarder from it to create new one. Since it is not resized it should maintain full sharpness.

 

[Jumbo]

My first thoughts:

- First of all, I generally like it.

- The alert feature from thread posters posting after you should, in my opinion, be toned down a bit. I want alerts for posts made just after my own, but not for every post afterwards. This gives me a feeling of forcing the user to think about a post that they've "moved on" from.

- The new online/offline symbol isn't as easily recognised as the old one. The old one would be noticeable at a glance, while the new one requires looking at each user portrait.

 

[Azsure]

I know that it's been already said multiple times before that the Hive Chat window's wideness will be addressed later, but what about for mobile users? This has been a problem since Hive 1.
Look at how it looks like from mobile access:

The name list is somehow wider than the chat text box for some reason, ever since in Hive 1 it has been like this and it's the same here too.

 

[PiaNa]

I wish There Was A Thing That Pops Up Or Makes A Ding! Sound like Facebook It Would Be alot cooler

 

[Ralle]

That is shit. I haven't worked much on it for mobile. I will.

 

[fladdermasken]

What, in the chat? Or with profile/private messages?

Honestly, it feels like it would be quicker and less painful to just shoehorn barbed wire into your urethra and bleed to death.

:V

 

[Azsure]

The new feature of having album titles and descriptions is great, but the descriptions character limit is too low, and it doesn't let you separate paragraphs, in my RP group we used pictures with text descriptions and it's not enough to fit now.

I haven't tested it on mobile, but try to position your phone horizontally? The website display (of other pages) would become wider after the phone is horizontal, not sure about chat tho

I locked my phone's turning feature anyway, I find it more annoying than it is useful, when I'm using my phone on bed and the screen keeps turning randomly, due to the position it has.

 

[Ralle]

If you're using galleries for RP'ing, you're doing it wrong .

 

[Emm-A-]

I just realized, that you cannot search for the word "fox" in the resources (it says too short), for example. I suggest, you fix this as well, while you are at it, if this is possible?

 

[Rui]

IMO instead of having a forum of social groups we could start moving them to the appropriate sections. I see a lot of groups there who belong in the Roleplaying forum.

Spare us.

 

[Rui]

but why? What's the forum's problem?

 

[Ralle]

I completely agree.

 

[Chaosy]

I don't know to be honest.
I just don't like the feeling of having it changed I suppose.

 

[Ash]

Life is change. That's why we aren't all still 0 years old and now have a fancy new HIVE site. Your roleplaying threads will not be changed, there will be just new threads and new people taking part. Don't see this as scary, see it as awesome. Because it is.

 

[Ralle]

The only reason for social groups to be in the forum called Social Groups is that it was the simplest way to import it. I think the threads should spread out.

 

[Rui]

There's got to be a reason for that. Maybe you feel Roleplaying is too far down the forum index?

I don't know the reasoning - because I was not RPing at that time, but whoever started the RP in social groups did so for a reason despite the roleplay forum existing.

One reason I can come up with though:
Social groups before had the option to choose which members to enter the RP. With other words, if I hate Roland (I don't) and I don't want anything to do with the guy, I will simple remove his posts from my social group. Or if I just consider him a shitty RPer that don't live up to my standards, I might also want him gone.

This cannot be done in a public thread since mods would never do that obviously. WHICH SUCKS.

Not a big deal since one usually press the link given by the alert when someone posts.

 

[Rui]

I had forgotten social groups allowed you to do that. I understand where you're coming from. I don't suppose the way it works right now has kept those restrictions though?

XenForo has private group conversations, but once I have time I'd honestly like to go read those RPs, even if I'm not allowed to participate. Therefore I'd prefer if you decided to keep it public

You should check out the conversation (new PM) feature, in that case. It has the exact functionality you describe. Personally, being the guy that started The Jury of Awesome with Captain_Griffin, I am totally against the idea you suggest. This should be an inclusive community, not an exclusive one.

 

[Chaosy]

In which case our record disappear. The group serves as a collection of RP related threads which makes them easy to access.

 

[Ash]

I don't understand. Conversations never disappear, unless you choose the delete them.

 

[Chaosy]

The actual RP is in one thread, but we may use other threads for various references.
Having multiple conversations for that purpose (or rather, having to re-create all of them) would be annoying.

And merging them into one would be a clusterfuck.

 

[Azsure]

I still don't understand what was wrong with social pictures for RP, it worked pretty well ordained for us while keeping the group only for a few chosen people, (we managed membership through request to join and approval) while also keeping records public. We even had our own mods, to delete pictures we disapproved, I can't even link threads to my profile, that's why I liked media instead.

Hell, albums now even have the option to choose which users are allowed to add pictures to our own media, there's so much potential in that.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I just realized, that you cannot search for the word "fox" in the resources (it says too short), for example. I suggest, you fix this as well, while you are at it, if this is possible?

Currently, the minimum amount of letters that a word you're searching for is set to 4. As far as I'm aware, this is quite easy to be fixed, so once Ralle deals with some bigger things, the limit might get changed to 3 letters.

EDIT: Apparently this has already been changed/fixed

 

[Jaina Proudless]

Does anyone know what happened to the hive leak tester? I can't seem to find it on hive 2.0.

Heh, I guess it's not too bad of a thing though since now I am forced to learn JASS and stop being a GUI peasant.

 

[IcemanBo]

I don't think it's currently available. It's a nice tool for testing results, but practialy it's better to have fully understood the mechanics of memory handling.
If you want to read some theory towards this, read this, and ask questions if you specificaly don't understand something. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/memory-leaks.263410/#post2661133
