Pong Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 ...I think this will keep people from simply voting up their friends, as opposed to voting up a post based on its merits... Oh, good. All my posts' rep are based off merits, the only person I'd call close to a friend here is atari2600land. Yay, me, and not having friends!

+Random Terrain Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Oh, good. All my posts' rep are based off merits . . . I only give rep points for nudity. Now that rep points are public, people better watch out. Anyone who gives my enemies rep points won't be invited to my birthday party this year. Oh, who am I kidding? I always invite everyone, including homeless guys off the street, but no one ever comes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Yes, same here. Today all the threads that I participated in last night have shown up. Maybe it takes a few hours, or a log off/log in sequence to add the most recent threads to "my content"? There actually is a delay--every 15 minutes a script is run that updates the search indicies for any new threads. Thus, if a thread is updated, it could take up to 15 minutes before it shows up in all the various search results (this include "View New Content", "My Content", normal searches, etc.) This was the case before the forum upgrade as well, but people weren't paying as close attention. Now, if it is actually taking longer, then there is a legitimate problem. For instance, if the threads are only showing up overnight (when the full search index is rebuilt from scratch), then there is a problem with the script that runs every 15 minutes and I can investigate it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+5-11under Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Hi Albert, Just so you know, I'm still having difficulties with "Today's active content" and "View new content". See the attached files, compared to the "Spy", all from approximately the same time. Thanks, 5-11under Edited March 20, 2011 by 5-11under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm not sure if this is related to the forum upgrade or not, but I noticed this thread (here) was originally in the Modern Gaming section, but somehow moved over to the Lynx section. I also encountered something similar while posting in the modern gaming section earlier. After I made a reply, the system put my post in a thread found in the Jaguar section (here)! Strange.

Omegamatrix Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) I'm missing the option to suppress the "This post has been edited by Omegamatrix: Today, 12:02 PM" display that was added for subscribers.

+5-11under Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi Al, First of all, great job keeping the system all together with the update. There's a few glitches, but most things work quite well, and there's some key improvements I see. One thing I'm noticing is that the friend inviting is now one-sided. I've accepted a couple of friendships, but they don't show up as "my" friends... I'm a friend of many, but I have no friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to spend the entire day working on the site, once I get out of bed and have some breakfast. You're not the first person to mention some weirdness with friends, so I need to take a look at that to see if they've changed this behavior. I know there are several friend-related settings here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=members In particular, the "Friend Approval" is relevant.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I just re-added the "Block Forums from View New Content" mod! You can find it in your user control panel under the "Forums" tab. The mod had to be updated to work properly with the current version of the software, as well as the Sphinx search system we are using. This modification will allow you to choose forums to ignore when using "View New Content" and "Today's Active Content" (which is a link near the bottom of the page on the main forum index). If you see anything weird or it's not working as expected, please let me know! Here's a direct link to the page where you can access this feature: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=forums&area=blockforums ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Random Terrain Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks. Maybe one day there will be a mod where we can block threads from the My Content and View New Content results. You can get really tired of some threads and never want to see them again. A Topic Ignore mod that works with My Content and View New Content would bring joy to many AA members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 How badly do people want an "Ignore Topics Mod"? I was just quoted $150 by one developer to create this mod.

If you cannot control your own curiosity (happens to me too), that's not a board problem. That's why I asked if anyone was willing to contribute. I personally cannot justify spending $150 for a mod that would be used by a small percentage of AtariAge visitors. But if there are a few members here who'd like to contribute to the expense, that makes it more palatable. I like the concept (and I wrote up a detailed description on Invision's forum of what I'd like this mod to do), but it's not something I have time to develop personally or I'd consider doing so. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I'd rather see some of the long-standing blog issues start to get fixed. I will need to hunt for those. I have a feeling Invision is going to spend some time improving the Blog after they release 3.2, as there is a fair amount of discontent with it right now. The blog is a bit of a pain because it has many unique skin elements, so it takes a fair bit of work to modify a skin to work well with it. What issues would you like to see addressed? I can then post these to Invision's site and also search their forum to see what issues people have already brought up and if Invision has commented on them. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
