Altar of Stone Forums - Bug Spray Central

Post by Daedalus » Sun Mar 17, 2019 5:51 pm

Greetings.

While I have combed the site fairly thoroughly in search of exploits and problems, the site is young at the time of this writing, and there's a good chance that problems might've slipped through the cracks.

Please use this thread to report anything that you discover that seems out of place, any visual anomalies, or any functionality that appears broken.

We'll set our best agents in the Cabal to work immediately on trying to fix any problems reported.

Three small things to address, not necessarily bugs, but close enough (yes, I'm reporting bugs to myself):
  1. No constraints on signature image size
  2. No indication of new posts versus read ones in threads (suggest grey little paper icon for "read")
  3. Private message icons aren't optimised for grey/black site aesthetic and need a rework

In some instances text of the user details on the left which contain descenders are ever so slightly trimmed on the bottom.

Ok I found the bug thread
this is the message I get when I try to uplaod a new avatar image:
The submitted avatar is 474 pixels wide and 848 pixels high. Avatars must be at least 20 pixels wide and 20 pixels high, but no larger than 140 pixels wide and 140 pixels high.

Thank you. That is not necessarily a bug, but you beat me to testing the avatar functionality. It looks like for the time being we've lost the ability to shrink down uploaded avatars. It shouldn't be a problem to restore, I don't think. I'm still rummaging through things and will tend to it soon.

As discussed, avatars should correctly upload and scale now once again. Thanks.

The site is currently not sending emails to users. What's disturbing is that it's not immediately clear when this behaviour began, so it could've been an issue for a few weeks at worst. I believe this is the host's fault, and am attempting to speak to them.

Email issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to establish how long the lapse in mailing was for, but it couldn't have been longer than a few weeks.

Jeeze I hope this does not mean that too many newcomers were prevented from subscribing.
Speaking of which: the Blood discussion group on steam (yes, they use Nblood too) mentions web sites and forums...but did not mention A of S. I wrote them...hopefully it will gain traction

I am able to see users attempting to register, so luckily we wouldn't have "lost anyone" had they attempted such. Thank you for advertising. I think most people these days don't have much patience for forums such as these, but I am generally too modest when it comes to "advertising". Anyway, let's keep this thread focused on bug reports and their fixes.

Fixed an issue with signatures being able to be enormous. Thanks to Soben for "discovering" this issue...
