Software update

Ralle · Mar 6, 2009

I have finally taken the time to update vBulletin. I have been lazy with that, but I saw that they just discovered a hole in the security, so I updated immediately.

There comes a few new features with this version, discover them yourself

Pyritie · Mar 6, 2009

FIRST POAST

*goes off to find new stuff*

EDIT: Found one

EDIT 2: Found another!

bounty hunter2 · Mar 6, 2009

I found one ^^

Asomath · Mar 6, 2009

Oh cool me toooooo.

~Asomath

Pyritie · Mar 6, 2009

I has found bug!

Kwah · Mar 6, 2009

I hasnt!

Cool.

VeljkoM · Mar 6, 2009

Nice one.You are full of surprises.

Super-Sheep · Mar 6, 2009

Woot?

VeljkoM · Mar 6, 2009

Look at the social groups for starters.

EDIT:OK now it is hard to see last post in groups and also when I try to search groups I only can see first page.

varsaigen · Mar 7, 2009

Sorry, I found one D: I don't like how the social groups looks anymore. I can't tell what's what. It's like looking at a collage D: I also can't tell what has been updated with new posts, or in what order they are. I liked the old one more D: (a lot more)

Zerox · Mar 7, 2009

I personally preferred the old Social Group layout much more. Is there anyway we can change that back but keep the overall security update?

Mechanical Man · Mar 7, 2009

At least there are more posts per page there. That warhammer club is getting messy.

Hawkwing · Mar 7, 2009

I like the new social groups better, with discussions and all. The mass-images are just a bit messy. I do agree with that.

DarkIron Dwarf · Mar 7, 2009

I love it! I can tell if there are new posts in groups now because the names of the groups will be in bold.

Samuraid · Mar 7, 2009

\Naze's profile link still doesn't work. Perhaps an update or settings change for vBSEO will fix it?

Other than that, things look mostly normal. I do like the quick reply in private messages. :smile:

Zombie · Mar 7, 2009

The social group system is awesome. Now they actually make more sense.

Thrikodius · Mar 7, 2009

I'm getting subscribtions when I reply to a thread.

Do you not want that?

VeljkoM · Mar 7, 2009

That isn't new.It always happened to me.

Rui · Mar 7, 2009

The new social group layout is somewhat cool, but there are a few issues that came with this version as well.

I cannot perform any actions on the messages of a discussion's last page (social groups). I can select the messages, but they won't highlight and the Moderation box (delete messages, unapprove messages, etc.) will not show.
The Change Prefix actions (inside the Moderation box) do not seem to be showing the available prefixes to change to anymore.
Not all groups are shown, even after one clicks "Show All Groups".

I'll be editing the post as I find more bugs.

TheDivineBoss · Mar 7, 2009

The changes are good.

But I prefer the old Social Groups layout.

VeljkoM · Mar 7, 2009

But now people can't see all groups.When I go top "all groups" nothing happens.
Or I try to search for the groups in categories I can only see first page.

Pyritie · Mar 7, 2009

Yeah, it's a bug. I've already PM'd Ralle about it.

Rui · Mar 7, 2009

I have added that to my list.

Has anyone noticed that when you look at someones profile you can see the group without icons, but on your profile you see the icons? Supposed to be that way?

Damn, my list must be gigantic. D:

VeljkoM · Mar 7, 2009

No you still have the old way which is still the biggest user list on hive after the list of all groups.You must be very proud.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY · Mar 7, 2009

As long as the youtube tags now work, awesome!

TheBlooddancer · Mar 7, 2009

Is the new icons included in this update?

If so, then new colors to them, pl0x.

Which icons?

varsaigen · Mar 7, 2009

I think there should be a way to switch to the old format of the social groups, just like we can with the backgrounds and such. :/

Misha · Mar 7, 2009

now i see... all this is because safety of users... hmm.. very good.

i like how the group moderation is put in the hands of the user himself 8)

only flaw that i see is that question mark that is shown in absense of an icon, perhaps that picture needs replacing with something not so eye-hurting?

and maybe reducing the size of group thumbnails so it could fit more.

It shows icons when you aren't in an absurd number of social groups.

Misha said:

I too think the image should be changed.

Misha said:

I was actually thinking it should be increased to the standard 100x100.

vBSEO is breaking the viewing, but you can still access stuff:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/group.php?do=grouplist&cat=1&page=2

You still can't click-browse from there, but the URL is easy enough to figure out.

Misha · Mar 8, 2009

well i find all those discussions a bit anoying, anyone can create a discussion, i deleted one alreaddy, so.. discussions can be used for spamming the group =/ as i say i deleted one, but it's only a soft delete and it stays in my group, or is it because i own a group i can see the deleted discussion?

WILL THE ALMIGHTY · Mar 8, 2009

Kinda looks like groups are now a mini-forum for anyone.

Thrikodius · Mar 8, 2009

Pyritie said:

Sure just as long as it goes aways when I click the damn thing, cause it doesn't. Actually I can't see my post when I click that link so that may be why.

Misha · Mar 8, 2009

hmm.. i found a bug in picture comments of a lot of people...

it shows only the first page with comments and then gives me a note to notify the admins....

well... here ya go ^.^

Luckerguy · Mar 8, 2009

Erm, i dont know if its the new System but sometimes this message appear when i want to view a profile of someone:

Code:

vBulletin Message

This user has not registered and therefore does not have a profile to view.

Whose profile?

WILL THE ALMIGHTY · Mar 9, 2009

Wouldn't it be nice if the terrain/modelling/texturing sections had little pictures (basically attachments) next to the threads? Wc3c has it, can't be too hard to add it here.

That's in the Gallery. We had one of those, remember? And do you remember how that all went over?

WILL THE ALMIGHTY · Mar 9, 2009

The Gallery was deserted and ultimatly useless because it was this small link in a million other forum board links, not because it had pictures next to the threads.

You're smarter than that, Hawk.

I agree with putting pictures in those forums. But.. bleh. Let's just not bring back the Gallery, kay - because, that's what one of the admins might just end up doing.

Misha · Mar 9, 2009

i think that's useless.... =/

Hawkwing · Mar 9, 2009

It may be useless, but as long as it's not hard to do it may be nice to have.

Someones. Sometimes its my profile, sometimes MasterHaosis' profile and sometimes FrIkY's...

Oh God no. There are too many threads in our boards for that. The terrain forum there isn't (or at least wasn't) as active as ours, so it worked.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY · Mar 14, 2009

Huh, hadn't thought about it. Maybe only the first 30 threads? First 3 pages?
