Forum Activity for @brian

Strumelia:Thanks Brian. I am certain I was not having this compare glitch before- it's only in the past few days I'm experiencing it. If you can't replicate it on your site then maybe you could sign into my site and observe it. It's going to prevent me from being able to update ANY of my skins whenever a new Ningja skin version is released...and as you know I'm having enough trouble already, without this new odd behavior tying my hands completely now.
Thanks for your help. This whole skin update/cloning dilemma is now really preventing me from moving forward on JR.

Strumelia:There is still confusion between latest forum discussions and latest group discussions here.

Hear me out- on Ning we have a main page module simply showing our Groups- and we can sort them in various ways (groups with most members, groups that have the latest activity...). (Plus, any activities that happen in a group shows up in the Timeline/activity feed on the main page.) But we don't have a "Latest Groups Discussions" module, like we now have on JR.
Instead we have a main page module showing Latest Forum Discussions.

Quote:Now in Ningja JR, we have NO main page module for Forum Discussions at all, but we have TWO main page modules for Groups- one showing a list of "Top" groups, and one showing latest Group Discussions...only it's called simply "Discussions" which is confusing because people will assume it is forum discussions.

Quote:1) I believe we ALL need a main page module for Latest Forum Discussion posts. similar to as shown in my screenshot.

2) The Groups modules showing on the main page should be tweaked in some way as well- Soaring was suggesting a SINGLE module showing various group activity. --> I feel that if a member wants to see a simple list of groups, they can simply click on the Groups Link in the top nav bar. (and that list we admins should be able to sort ..at least by Most Members and most recent active rather than groups being listed alphabetically) .

douglas:A clearing div won't help. The problem is the title is too long and takes up space for the next image, so it gets pushed down.

I seen this before and the only solution was to shorten the title.

Thanks!

thechocolatelife:I think I have to use FoxyCart to create quotas that are free to do this.

Strumelia:I am having trouble with the new "Compare" function for my templates.

Quote:I start by trying to compare any particular template in my (newly cloned) active LisaNew skin to my Ningja (customized) .11 skin- and at first it loads by comparing LisaNew to Lisanew (despite the drop down menu saying Ningja 11). Nothing happens if I refresh the page, so I go to compare LisaNew with Ningja.10 in the dropdown, which it goes to ok. So then I change the dropdown to Ningja.11, and it presents me with a compare of Ningja.11 with Ningja.11. LisaNew disappears in the compare altogether.

2nd scenario:
I start with LisaNew and go to compare another tmeplate- It starts me on a page comparing Lisa to Lisa. I set the dropdown to Ningja .08, and I get a good compare page. Then I set the dropdown to Ningja .09....and I get a compare of Ningja .11 to Ningja .09 (lisaNew has disappeared again.)

Does anyone else experience this since the recent updates? I didn't have this problem a few days ago- the compare function with its dropdown menu for versions was working as expected then.

soaringeagle:also it needs an output and log of what the heck the score means as far as individual tests

like it needs to tell you the 40 is based on
a 300 for memorty access
700 for net connect time
200 for disk access speed
40 for mysql querries

sort of like the windows 7+ or was it vista + rating that tells you what needs to be upgraded to improve your performance score

just saying 40 oyut of 10000 doesnt give u a single clue where to look for performance improvements

its a great tool no doubt and im happy to have found out now that a server change will help that much more
but it really needs some output wether in the page a report of each test run.. or a log file


put it on the back burner tho i think the seemless pagingation and site builder finalizations more important
but what id say is worth considering is
something along the lines of
now testing ram access speeedd..... done results 33 ms performance value 800/1000
now testing disk access speed..... done results 243 ms performance value 600/1000
now testing network port speed
now testing ssl verification
now testing 1st byte transfer time

etc etc

so it tells you what its testing qas its testing it gives you the actual results and how those results affect the overal ranking

that....that would be an amazingly useful tool
then you can look say ah ok i need to upgrade the network card or get a faster cpu or add more ram etc etc

it doesnt just say...your server sux you should consider 1 thats actualy got 1/4 ofthe power you already have.. but instead tell you what about your severs lacking and offer suggestions on improving
like consider getting a server with a faster data transfer rate or upgrade your network card..etc

cause when i had the server admins run the test they were like..ok 40..but what the hecks that 40 mean...

thechocolatelife:When I click on Create Account a user asking to sign up is given the choice of selecting from the available quotas including the admin quota.

Is there any way to hide quotas that you don't want people to see and choose from?
