General Forum Testing

So … I never liked this new Discourse forum (sorry Keith :slight_smile: )
I would trade the old forums look for this one anytime.

But damn, i have to say:
Some of the features are really great.

Sometimes site can just crash while you are writing.
But unlike other forum systems. This one don’t just throw away your post it keeps it saved.
I like that its great.

What do you mean by ‘site can just crash’?
Does it freeze or does the browser crash?
How do other tabs behave when this happens?

I have never experienced anything like that.

At aprox. 9:25am 11. July web site of Inovae studios was unavailable.
I don’t know the reason. It was just wild guess. But at that moment i clicked this blue button to reply and
Bam, site is not available. (problem was not on my end)
My first thought - My post is gone. After a minute or two it was back up. And surprise!
My post was not gone. it was saved as a draft :slight_smile:

That actually could have been due to scheduled Azure VM maintenance.

Internal image testing:

Testing of polls, although this may only work once Discourse has been updated to 1.3:

  • Apples
  • Oranges
  • Pears

Yup, looks like it…

Pears. Apples, oranges too round- pears win!!!

Just wanting to say that I really like the desktop notifications (I was looking forward to them) that finally arrived with the newest Forum upgrade.

If you want notifications to work even when you have no tab of the forums open … here a plugin for Chrome (as well as for Opera with this):

yeah, it’s really cool.

Also, has anybody else noticed a change in the way the text editor works? Usually, when you wanted to make something bold/italicized, you would press ctr/cmd+b/i. When you wanted to stop making something b/i, you would press the button again. However, it now tries to add a new b/i section, creating extra *'s everywhere.

Next week on 24!

Are you doing something with the battlescape page? I cant load it. (Going to Keith’s page next.)

I’m not having any problem loading it.

I expected it was my fault. Sorry for wasting your time. The viruses on my computer must be out of equilibrium.

Looking for possible hiding spots:

[spoiler] What about here … [/spoiler]

Spot 2and here ... ?
document.getElementById["pogo"];
document.getElementById["pogo"];                    TNG ENG

Spot 2 looks like this:

<details><summary>Spot 2</summary>and here ... ?</details>
Title ``` NAME1 Name8 Some_other_One N2 Name3 N4554 Naruname5 N234 Someone ```
Title http://video.webmfiles.org/elephants-dream.webm

Text below webm but still in </details

Only hidable if without “code” segment.

I noticed we can now have wiki etries.

meta.wiki.meta.forums.inovaestudios.com < That is a joke. Not a linky.

I invite you to edit this entry.

No.

I’ll think about it.

Wow, this really works. oO

-Anonymous

Why am I doing this?

-Space Turtle

Lurkers typically mostly inhabit other forum users posts.

-Sociel

This should be good for guide threads and stuff
-Mattk50

This will require a very adult user base in order that it not devolve into stupidity…
