I'm starting a proper thread to address bugs, fixes, and new features. If you see problems, please post them here (and change the subject so it will be easier to keep track of). I'll also cover the new features as I activate them.
OK. Quoting is fixed for real now. Should work like it used to. For you people using flat view, the link is now below each message, so you can quote whichever message you want.
Age, will there be a way to switch from threaded to flat view and back within the thread?
It was discussed in the user name/real name thread. It doesn't look like the developers care, so after I get all the major stuff sorted, I'll try to do that.
You can now attach files to messages. For now, just .jpg or .gif files up to 250k. They won't be shown in the message. Just as a link that others can download.
Thanks for your continued hard work on this site, Adriano. A quick question: How do you create a flat view of a selected topic? There used to be a "button" near the bottom of a selected thread, but I can't find it. It's likely I'm being blind and/or dense, so please forgive.
Hillel, go to my profile, and set it from there..
Yep. What he said. This was being discussed in the user name vs. real name thread, so I guess I should mention it here too. For now, the only way to do it is to go to My Profile > Forum Settings and select it there. I'm going to try to make a quick link like it used to be when all the major problems are fixed though.
Age,
next message and previous message used to work temporally (so you could find the first new message in a previously read topic and just hit those buttons to move forwards in time). The new ones just move down the list seqentially, right (as opposed to temporally)?
Chris
This is minor, but I would prefer to that the threads not paginate, i.e., that all messages in a single thread be on a single page. Or to be able to set that.
Also, the Profile has a field called "Real Name" (which became unfilled with the version change). You could possibly hack the display to use that.

I agree, and was just going to suggest that.
Is that one of the features that's going to be brought back? Very useful for those who check the eLF frequently.

The database design and much of the functionality was altered significantly to improve speed and this might be one of the casualties. I'll look into it when I get a chance, but I have a hunch that won't be possible any more.
Well, I can increase the number shown per page. It can get unwieldy with very long threads, but definitely something I can do if that's what people want.
As for the name thing, the old version used to look up user information for each message in a thread to get the name info. The new version writes the author name with the message to save db calls and speed things up. (That's 100 extra database calls every time you load the page if the thread has 100 messages). There are also other reasons. When Facetimer decided to start posting as other people, some of them requested I change the names, which was a pain in the ass. That's not possible now. It's going to stay like this. But like I said, if you want to make a new account, I'll change all your old posts to reflect the new name.
All the code I wrote for that page is now obsolete with the new database design. Storing the new message info in the database was my own hack, so I knew how to get at it easily. That's now built in to the new version, so it will have to all be rewritten. I'd like to get at it eventually, but I'm not sure if or when it will happen.
Just testing. [q]Please ignore
If someone (Keith :-P ) leaves tags open, it should no longer affect anything outside their post.
Signatures should be properly formatted now, and quoting should automatically strip the signature.
Well, this one stumped me but good...
After working with a couple members for a few days I finally figured out the problem. The problem occurred when users selected "Threaded" for the Thread Override - List in their Forum Settings. That means on the main page, every thread was fully expanded and because of a bug in the code, instead of showing 25 threads, it showed them all. If you had enough patience and it happened before the apache page timeout, the PHP buffer would fill up and it would return an error. If not, nothing happened. And while this was happening, the database and CPUs were tied up, probably causing the slowness. Until they fix this, I've switched everyone to a flat list view and disabled the option to change it.
Now I'd like to clarify the option itself. There were (and once it's fixed, will again be) 2 relevant options in the user preferences.
Thread Override - List governs how the list view (the page you see when you log on) is displayed. If set to "Flat", there's one line per thread. If there are new messages in that thread it will say "new". If set to "Threaded", each thread is completely expanded out so there is a line for each post with it's subject and author. This makes for a very large list page that I (and I think most people) find hard to navigate. Very few people used this, making it hard to pinpoint the problem.
Thread Override - Read governs how the page where you actually read the posts is displayed. "Flat" simply lays out an entire thread chronologically on a single page. "Threaded" shows the single post you're reading at the top and the subjects for the whole thread expanded out in a tree below it, with links to go to the other messages in the thread.
The two are completely independent, and what most of you probably intended to change was the Thread Override - Read option. Once the list view bug is fixed, that option will return, but make sure you're getting what you want with that.
I'm assuming we'll get the list of extended smileys back? I don't think I could live without bananaman.
Another small item. When I click POST, it throws me out to the list view instead of keeping me in the read view. Is this a bug, a temporary change, or a "new feature"?
Server e-mails now work again for things like forgotten passwords.
That's the way the old forum originally did it before I hacked it to do it the other way. Not sure if it will be possible with the new version, but I'll look into it when I can.
Yeah, I just have to rewrite the smiley page to use the new smiley plug-in.
Age, I think you have solved my access problem with the Thread Override - List. I always set my preference for that and as soon as I did it on the new List, I couldn't get on. I could if I accessed through another browser without the cookie set, but once I signed on, boom, I couldn't get on.
Thanks for your persistence.
I've added a field for AOL Instant Messenger in the user profile.
I don't know whether you took off the pagination completely or set it to either a high value or a ridiculously high value, but I ran some numbers anyway.
For the past calendar year (March 10 2:00pm 2003-2004, n=1275):

Where the annoyance level is on a thread length is a matter of personal taste and bandwidth, but I would conjecture that either 100 or 150 would be good default large values for number of posts per page.
Keep in mind, too, that Rich and I fear change, and would prefer any settings that make this forum look like Kyle's original CHDF. :-P
Well, keeping in mind that, you, Rich, and probably everyone else on here fears change like the plague, I think I set it to something like 500. If you want it set lower, I can do that, but I'm going to need confirmation from more people lest I get yelled at again :-P

500 is too low, set it higher. :-P
i second that ...;-) :-D ;-)
Extended smileys are back ::crazy::
Yes! ::banana:: ::banana:: ::banana:: ::banana:: ::banana::
I'd actually be in favor of a much lower number. As was discussed about post-game discussions, many times the original thread wanders off topic and many might like a new thread started. Again as with the post-game discussions, those of us who go to the games can quickly spin through the game thread and then go to the post-game and spend our time. Smaller threads would encourage that; maybe 50-100?
As an aside, Age thanks again for your work, I was able to sign on at work effortlessly today, and came home to enjoy a quick openning by just clicking the eLynah icon. You solved it with the thread problem, however I still like the threaded list and the ability to go right to the newest post on a thread.:-/
I assume thread length isn't something that can be set on an individual basis.
I'd probably vote for something between 50 and 100, esp. judging from Pat's chart. If this were a democracy...

Age, several of the pages on the main website are showing mysql connection errors. For example. the championship belt.
More importantly, the password for elfuser is visible in the warning messages.
I actually noticed this a while ago, so it's not a problem with the new forum, but I'll mention it anyway....
I noticed that for the Archives on elynah's main page, if you go to 2001-2002, none of the links to the highlights or video streams work.
EDIT: only clicking on the Red/White game and the Wilfrid Laurier exhibition game works on the 2001-2002 archive page.
Thanks. I accidentally posted the password when I posted a script I wrote on another site and forgot to update those pages. For the record "YES" is not the password. Just means it was using a password :-P
When I couldn't find one of my photos from 2 years ago on my own damn website a couple weeks ago, I realized the main site was in dire need of an overhaul. Now if I could just find the time...
The 2001-02 Archive is now working again. Thanks for pointing that out.
Sorry about the time being off by an hour. Thought I'd fixed that, but now it should be good to go.
Private messages are a new feature to the forum. Members with accounts can send private messages to each other. There's a "Send A Private Message" link on the user profile page which will automatically fill in the address you're sending to.
Alternatively, you can go to My Profile, then select "Send A Private Message" from there, but you'll need to know the user name.
If you have messages waiting, a notification link will appear at the top of the page.
You have to be logged in for all this to work.
For some reason, when I edit my Hockey Least post, it changes the thread to an announcement.
::help::
Yeah, I noticed. I keep changing it back. Not sure why, but I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
u know about it and will when get back - all the edits and posts of the game thread were separate announcements ::screwy::
There's a problem with the editing page which I mentioned earlier. That problem only happens when someone edits the first post in a thread. It's kind of annoying, but will be fixed soon. Please don't edit the first post. Thanks.
Age: when you quote a post with an embedded quote, the program doesn't include the internal quotes. You end up with:
[q]First quote Second quote[/q] instead of [q]First quote [q] second quote[/q][/q]
Is there any way to easily implement an "ignore poster" feature like the USCHO board has?
The problem with editing the first message in a thread turning it into an announcement has been fixed. The problem where it always made the name and e-mail editable when you edit a message is also fixed (or more like I added a kludge until the Phorum people get off their asses and fix it properly, but it should work).
This seems to be new behavior today.
I noticed that all links go to _parent or _self instead of _blank. No more popup windows. Not sure if this is better or worse, only that it is different.
Oh right. Had to replace the file that handled that and lost a bunch of changes. I'll fix that.
I'm getting certain threads showing up as "new" without any actual new material.
The Phorum people said they're going to take a look at the problem when they get a chance, but for now, if you click "Mark All Messages Read" on the list page, the problem should go away (for a while).
When I click on a post author to see their profile I get the message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phorum_date() in /var/www/html/elf/profile.php on line 63
Mysterious elusive function, there. Still haven't found it, but I commented out the line for now. Should work.

This problem has been fixed properly now.
When using my bookmarked address: http://elf.elynah.com/index.php or http://elf.elynah.com
I get the headings and links titled: "array array array" and no posts. I found I have to use the url http://elf.elynah.com/list.php?1 in order to see posts. I can change my bookmark, but maybe others using the above urls are also having problems.
Nuts. Thought I got that. Did another full upgrade this morning and probably copied the wrong file. Anyway, it's fixed now, thanks.
Can we have two different "new" labels? One for "new post in thread" and one for "new drivel about the Rangers"? :-P
Also, the favicon.ico is gone.
This problem's been correctly fixed now.
For those who like to use it, threaded list view should work properly now.
I'll set this to 100. If y'all want something else, come to a consensus and let me know.
The link at the footer of the page now shows a window with users with accounts who have visited in the last 10 minutes.
wow, assuming that all users "recently on the forum" are shown (is that right?), there are a LOT of lurkers
Yep, they're both set to the last 10 minutes, so the difference between current visitors and recently seen users is the number of lurkers.
This is about as fixed as it's going to get. Quoting a quote should automatically put the quote tags in now. However, it doesn't make the "Somebody Wrote:" line at the top of a quoted quote bold.
I did make a change so a quoted quote has the original background color.

Age, I'm noticing a problem again with random, incorrect New! icons on the list.php page. Just noticed it this morning.
Yep. They haven't really fixed the problem in phorum code. They claim to have done so somewhat, but it still does it after a while. You'll just have to click "Mark All Messages Read" to clear it once in a while.
I would love an option to have threads displayed with posts last in first out, a la USCHO. Or at minimum to jump to the last page of the thread when linking to it from the thread list.
Note however that eLynah is amazingly professional and none of this should be construed as a complaint, yadda yadda...

[/q]I was just about to write the same thing, though I probably wouldn't have bothered praising the site. I should work on that.
The 2 page post on next year's schedule doesn't change to read unless you view the first page even though the most recent posts are on the second page. I don't know if this falls in the category of random errors with the New! feature mentioned above.

We have to be careful with that...we don't want to inundate Age with messages about Facetimer's posts. :-D
There is/was/will be a "report this post" feature in Phorum. At the time I did the template for eLF, it wasn't working yet, so I got rid of the link, but it may be working now. I suppose I'll look into it at some point.
I just did another software update and it seems to have hosed the new message flag info in the database. Sorry about that. You should probably just click "Mark all messages read" on the home page to reset it.
There will be more features coming now like following threads in your control center, reporting messages, and things like that. Stay tuned.
Will the forum be affected? I just ask since I usually come directly to the forum, bypassing the main page.
Nope, it's only the main multimedia site with, primarily, photos and videos that will be affected.
Has the forum been optimized for a screen resolution greater than 800x600 now? It seems that I always have to scroll to the right to read the various threads. I'm using the flat view btw. I have experimented with 1024x768, but I'm still just working with a 15" monitor, so text gets pretty small at the higher resolution.
Last time I updated the language file got updated with it and some of the menubar language ended up longer than it used to be so the window gets stuck being as wide as the menubar contents across the top. I've been meaning to rename and move some of that around.
Just wondering - is the Sportscenter top 10 clip of the Mark McRae goal vs. BC still on the site somewhere?
Oops. Missed that one. I'll put it up tomorrow.
Age-
I cannot find a way to open messages sent to me that do not have a subject line.
-ben
I'm hoping they fixed that in the source. I've got to do another update soon. At any rate, all the subjectless PM's should have a "no subject" subject now.
So it took a lot longer than planned, but you can now switch between flat and threaded view on the list page and message page. There is a "switch view" link at the bottom of the list page and top of the message page. You have to be logged in to use it.

Up until a few days ago, it seemed like the default when someone included a URL in their post was for it to be encoded with "target=blank" in order for the URL to open in a new browser window.

I tried twice to add attachments of pictures in a thread regarding the Cornell/Clarkson NYC happy hour and for some reason they showed up at the beginning but are not showing up anymore. It seemed kind of quirky...any idea?
Thanks!
I'm not positive, but perhaps if you edit a message with an attachment and don't resubmit the attachments, they won't remain.
Age,
I know this is nitpicking but any chance you could mirror USCHO's board and give us one minute of editting time before our message is flagged as being editted? I know the response is, "proof read before you post"...but...well, I got nothing.

For the last three days, I haven't been able to access ELynah from home (I get an "timed out -- unable to locate web site" sort of message), though I can get almost all other web sites I've tried just fine. (The one other site we're having problems with is one for Persian traditional music.) I've had no problem in the past and am using the same bookmark as ever. Any ideas? A problem with Verizon maybe? Or maybe related to our recent Zone Alarm upgrade? All ideas welcome. Thanks.
Never mind; resetting the router fixed it (for now).:-)
On Sat. 2/12 during the Yale game, the current visitor count was 70 at one point. So, the record which shows when one clicks on "current visitors" is out of date, and may have been higher at other times. I appreciate the opportunity to be one of the 70 - thanks Age.
The "record number of users" only counts logged in, registered users. The difference would be the number of guests.

The year the wireless providers started doing the hotels (circa 2000) they were pretty open (at least when bragging in their closed circles) about what they could do and oversee (and block) and they showed us on a room by room basis at a five star hotel in Texas who was going back to the office and being a good boy, and how many - a lot! - were browsing Web sites in Sweden for blondes at 1 a.m.
I'm sure it's much more ethical now ...
Wait, no SSH?
No ::pissed::
Remind me not to stay in that hotel. :-(
For people with mainstream needs, it's amazing how broadband has swept into power, and how the cheap hotels that cater M-F to business travelers who need to watch their budgets, they typically give broad to you for free. If you bring your Airport plug-in adapter or a PC travel router, you can get wireless as far as the swimming pool if you pick your room carefully. Sorry, Age, we digress.

Try going to the page you're trying to link, highlighting the url in the address line of your browser, copying it, and pasting it into your message.
bingo.

Thank you...[/q]You need http:// before the rest of the address. Then it should work.
Did anyone notice this problem this past weekend? I increased the number of db connections. I'm going to increase the number of httpd connections, as well. Hopefully that will improve performance, too.
I've noticed a distinct slowdown the last week or so. Every page in the forum seems to take longer to load.
Does anyone else run into difficulty with hiding their e-mail addresses on their elynah profiles? I went to go change my e-mail address and had the "Hide my e-mail address from other users" box checked, but it still shows up, plain as day.
Not that I'm anti-e-mail or anything like that, but... ::help::
i could be wrong but --if-- you're logged you are shown your email address even if it is blocked to other users. but age will be the one who has the answer.
Yes, it's a problem with the templates that I've known about for a while. Just haven't had a chance to fix it yet. I'd also like to completely redo the templates, so whichever I get to first will take care of the problem.
Ah, much thanks for the explanation, Age. :-) I just wanted to make sure I wasn't having one of my infamous "dumb blonde" moments.
Because we don't post to this thread often enough. :-D
Today, I received a private message. It was exactly the same as one I received on 11/18/05, except of course for the timestamp. This seems like a weird error. Or maybe Alex is just trying to confuse me. :-D
There is a dead link to a goal that resulted from a Dartmouth goalie getting a wee bit distracted by the Lynah faithful. Can this be repaired, i know a few of us would love to see it.
::help::
Where? Links from
http://www.elynah.com/?movieb&id=194
seem to be working fine.
You are quite right the link you posted works great. Thank you, it was priceless.
Still i am not totally off my rocker. The link in question i referring to is in the Cheers section at the end of the explanation of remote contol goalie. That one is still dead.

Ah, thanks. I'll fix it. Need to give more complete info in the future =]
