Pong Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Just wondering... what happened to Spy? That was a really good addition. You can click on the "Spy" tab at the top of the page for a dedicated (and more useful) version of Spy. It'll show you all the activity on the forum as it happens. Useful to keep open in another tab, as it'll show you a count of the new items since you last looked. I'll get the "Mini-Spy" working on the main page again once I can get rid of the annoying "Loading...." that kept flashing every five seconds. ..Al I want to know if you can use AdBlock on it. That's one fix, but there might be something in the source code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Just added a "My Content" link right on the front page so you don't have to root around for it on your profile Great to have that back, I totally depend on it Say, is there a chance that can we get the "list" view of the blogs back as the default one?

Christophero Sly Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 You're probably already aware of this, but "View New Content" still doesn't seem to be working properly. Certain threads are showing up multiple times, on multiple pages of the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Say, is there a chance that can we get the "list" view of the blogs back as the default one? Yes. Excellent! Hm... One thing I noticed with the "My Content" list is that that the results are unsorted. I get 5 pages of hits and there's ~2 threads that got updated today on each page.

Yes, this is a known issue and I've already added to an existing bug report on Invision's site as well as bitched about it in a new thread I started (among other search-related issues). I'm supremely unhappy about this. http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/334334-view-new-content-and-searches-seriously-again/ ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr3vor Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I cant find the mobile skin button. Can you try again? Thanks, ..Al Ok, I found it, but when I switched it to the mobile skin, it switched it to mobile skin on my computer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Helmet Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 From my iPad its going to the full version of the forum by default. I'll have to check this when I get home tonight. I did look yesterday on my iPad (1) and it came up with the proper Mobile skin. I assume you are using the stock Safari browser? Thanks, ..Al Yeah. I'll try it again tonight after I clear my cache/cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supremely unhappy about this. I could be wrong, but I think the results are sorted in order of that person's most recent post to the thread. Thus, if I haven't contributed to a thread in weeks but it's been active, it ends up on a back page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayhem Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I'm glad the old forum skin is going to be redone for this, because I find all of the included ones so far rather terrible... c'est la vie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pong Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well, just wondering about something. Can you (finally) check which of your posts received reputation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) Looks really good, especially on the iPhone where I always post from. I do have one question: on the iPhone, the "my posts" option seems to be missing, replaced by a link to this thread. Will this option return? The "My Posts" option is there in the mobile skin--click on your username and then "My Content". ..Al I realize the "My posts" function is now on that drop down menu on the username.. but would it be possible to put that link right where it used to be (right next to the "view new content" area)? That way it's available right off the bat.. That never-visited-by-regulars "guidelines" link doesn't deserve that spot of functional honor Edited March 16, 2011 by NE146 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way it's available right off the bat.. I did that this morning, it's labeled "My Content" (to be consistent with how the link is presented elsewhere). That never-visited-by-regulars "guidelines" link doesn't deserve that spot of functional honor I agree, but I didn't make this skin. I'll end up moving it elsewhere. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting -- I just checked the first 20 on my first page of results, and they all sort in order of my last post. I'll check more, perhaps.

mckafka99 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Just want to chime in and say that I love the new 'Spy' tab - now I can just leave one of my browser tabs on AA and watch the new posts roll in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) OK, I'm seeing a couple super-recent posts (including this thread) on the very last page of my results, but at a glance everything else appears to be roughly in the order I described, i.e. in order of my last post (which is what I think was happening last time this issue came up). This thread is still on my first page of results too, though, so it's getting listed in both places. There must be some garbage data that's causing a bad sort -- maybe there's a process that runs every xx minutes to clean that up. A post from 130 minutes ago is showing up on my last page too, so xx must be over two hours. Edited March 16, 2011 by thegoldenband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariAge is alive! I finally got to see it change. When I went to the Spy page earlier today, nothing happened. I didn't know what the big deal was. I guess I didn't wait long enough.

nofrills100 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Deflection Skin!!!! nice!!! I like it too, I find dark backgrounds easier on the eyes these days than white which gets quite tiring. Stephen, FYI I just discovered that the 'deflection' skin is missing a few integral points that the 'IP.Board' skin has - such as 'messenger' and 'my content' buttons at the top of the page. As much as I like the dark screen... I can't live without those buttons on the front page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I don't think I could go very long without those buttons at the top of the page either. I have come to use them first thing when I load the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstari Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I just enabled an "IP.Mobile" skin option, which is a fast, lightweight skin that should work well for you. Not sure how it'll look on a low-resolution device, but it'll certainly be better than the regular Desktop skin. ..Al Thanks Al. Works perfect with Mini Opera!
