Thread to Report Issues with new xenForo version 2.2

The_J said:
If someone makes one, then it'll be time for us to make a sticky for CFC grease monkey scripts (which I'd happily do).



I checked, we have 3 options:
- no arrow up
- make it appear when you scroll upwards (current setting)
- make it appear when you scroll up- or downwards (for a downwards button)

So no option to display it permanently :/.
Would you prefer the 3rd option?



mmmhhh.... which browser? Let me try this later...

chrome. Problem may be on my end, but fwiw this wasn't an issue before the migration.

That's the point. Before the migration, there was a link at the bottom right corner that said "Top". All we needed to do to zoom to the top of the page was click that. The current version of XenForo at TrekBBS has an up arrow fixed at the same place (it's there permanently and doesn't float around and disappear).

It would appear that whoever devised this "upgrade" took something that was working perfectly and ruined it.
 
Lexicus is talking about a different problem ;).

With the new software, when I try to copy and paste an image directly into the post box, the chrome tab with CFC open freezes and has to be closed. This makes posting anything with images a huge drag.

Okay... I'm embarrassed, but I don't know what you're actually doing :blush:.
Are you
- drag-n-dropping a picture from another tab in Chrome into the CFC tab (results for me in just the link getting pasted; Firefox)
OR
- you have the picture open in an image editing software (paint, photoshop, whatever), and paste the content here (does not work for me)
OR
- something else?

The third option would seem the best. None are ideal, but I could live with the third one. As long as I know how to find it and it doesn't keep disappearing.

Done.

This causes a freeze

And so does this.
 
I'm sure they mean it'll happen once w/ any big old thread, and the forum will be able to keep reasonable track after that.

This upgrade has gone about as smoothly -and quickly- as any forum upgrade ever does...
 
FWIW, dragged and dropped an image with Brave (chromium) without any lagging.

Yes, exactly as @Buster's Uncle says.
It'll only re-set if the thread drops to the back again. I have no idea if we can tweak that, haven't seen any option for that :dunno:.

I believe the droid you're looking for in the ACP is: Options > Threads, discussions and conversations > Read marking data lifetime. However many days you set that for, n+1 gets you the first post in the thread.

:think: I've seen that, but if I interpret this option right, then this also is used to mark all old threads read in a forum. If I set this e.g. to .... I don't know, 3650 days (10 years), then all threads less than 10 years old would show up as unread in all forums, even if there was nothing new posted in the last 9.5 years.
So I'm not convinced if I want to tweak this :think:.
EDIT: Currently the value is set to 30 days.
EDIT2: And thanks :hatsoff:.

It really doesn't seem to be the case.

Even when I am the latest person to comment on a thread.. when I click on the thread title, I might end up on the OP, a totally random comment mid thread, or my own latest.. I can't see a pattern.

Isn't fluorescent green for names a rather horrible (for one's eyes too) option for a black skin? The skin feels more like you are in a nuclear plant :D

If the thread is marked unread, it will go to the latest unread post when you click on the thread title.

Where this goes awry, in my experience, is if moderators/users deleted the post that the forum thinks is the first unread message. It will usually shunt me to the OP then.

If the thread is marked read, clicking the thread title goes to the OP. If you want to go to the last post, click on the timestamp at the very right where the latest reply is shown. (Not sure if this has changed between v1 and v2, but this does not work if you aren't signed in.)

Personally, I love the green. It's a good contrast, not hard on the eyes, and is cheerful.

The only thing I don't love is the "online" icon that lands smack in the middle of the bottom of everyone's avatar. But that's an icon problem, not a color problem.

The_J said:
We can do CSS alterations. The main issue with the number at the bell icon is that I've not been able to figure out which element the number is. Everything what I've tried so far resulted in the whole bell being enlarged, which has some not-so-nice effects on the whole navigation bar.
If you have some skills in this area, and could identify which element it must be, then this would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe I could ask someone over at TrekBBS. The numbers there are at least twice the size here. No guarantee they'd know, or would tell me, though.

The problem with clicking the timestamp of the latest reply is that it isn't necessarily the first post you haven't read. I've done that and discovered that there were 2-3 PAGES I hadn't read.
 
The new buttons bottom right for full page scroll top/bottom are cluttering as well.
 
I tried to hit reply on your post but the arrow took me to the bottom of the page and then I had to scroll past the suggested thread.

cmd + arrow key on a mac, probably ctrl + arrow key in windows to insta scroll the page.
