Separate issue that I have now fixed.

Ads may be of various sizes. I can ask about substituting ads between posts, but from what I've read here, most people oppose those more than banner and side ads.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Thank you for fixing the forum jump drop down. It works as before now.

A tweak made sometime today has completley hosed the tables in this thread, and all the past survivor threads.

IBJoel and IB in general, we often get the impression that IB doesn’t appreciate the community aspect of this site, and the types of threads that make this a community. Sure, some people just come here for reviews, or for political talk, or for dvd deal threads, but a key part of the lifeblood of this site, what keeps a good chunk of people coming here for 20 years now, are the community threads; the monthly Challenges, the yearly sports contests, the sheep games, the ‘exclusive’ threads that normal users religiously maintain for free. Many of these threads rely on tables and fancy formatting. Big changes like this update should have been made with the actual users and how they post in mind.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

OK... so will the other editors be optimized for the new site? I find the limitations of CKEditor more restrictive than the others. It has *some* good points but not enough to warrant switching to it exclusively.

Based on what I regularly post I'll absolutely be sticking with the "Standard Enhanced" editor as it offers the best overall functionality for me. I'd guess there are many others who participate in the challenges that feel much the same.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Update: I am working with the tech and business teams to get adjustments made on ad layouts for logged-in users. We don't currently have an ETA, but I would say by end of week.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

They won't be optimized, but they aren't going anywhere. On sites where we've made this update over a year ago, they're still available as editors and we've had only a few compatibility issues.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Any chance we can get the "Panic" button back? The settings for it are still there in the User CP.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I got it on every thread last night but now it's not happening. If I get it, I'll post the link in here. BTW, I'm on a desktop with Chrome.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I spoke too soon.
It seems to happen when I enter a thread with lots of tweets postings and images.

Alabama is looking for it right now.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I'm sorry if this was mentioned already in this thread, but my not searching for it actually ties in to my actual gripe itself. Please, PLEASE tell me there is a way to turn off this infinite scroll nonsense. Thank you.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I've noticed when I reply to a thread, or post a new thread, the editor box is pushed all the way over to the left. I can make it taller, but I can't make it any wider.

Is this normal? I don't remember what it was like before.

It would be nice if I could make it wider. And shouldn't it be centered?

I'm using Firefox on a desktop PC.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Ah, that ties into what BobO'Link was mentioning on the last last page. So every user should have defaulted to "Full CKEditor". That's the only one optimized for the new software. You can keep the old text editor, like you have, but it has a few kinks. Tech will not be updating it, but they won't be scrapping it, either. If you want to switch editors because yours for some reason didn't switch to Full CKEditor, go here: https://forum.dvdtalk.com/profile.php?do=editoptions

Select the editor you'd like to use and click Save at the bottom.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Hm OK. And you turned off Infinite Scroll? Also, thank you for your device information on your previous post.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Played around with the various editor options. This default and only fully supported CKEditor is useless, at least on safari. You can’t select groups of words to edit.

But “Standard Editor - Extra formatting controls” appears to be the only one to work well, although I haven’t fully tested it.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I'd like to see HTML embed turned back on. I know that I and others used it to display table data for leaderboards in different contests.

Examples:

https://forum.dvdtalk.com/sports-tal...mpionship.html

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I'm trying to find out if there's any workaround we can do, but HTML represents a large security risk.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Here's the thing with that...

When you *reply* you get stuck with that narrow edit box. If you just "Submit Reply" and then "Edit" the resulting post you get an in-line "Standard" editor that *is* the full width of the screen as it should be. So... it works in one place but not another.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Right. As I said, it isn't optimized. It will likely have irregular behavior.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

We have updated the ad layout for logged in users. They, especially ads between posts, should be less intrusive, now.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Hey guys, Kenbuzz here. Long time poster, first time visitor to this forum.

Hi.

Say, I notice that something y'all did has really borked-up the table-intensive DVDTalk NFL Playoff Pool. I could try to explain the disaster that the Pool has suddenly become, but I think it's best to experience it first-hand yourself. Here's the pool location:
https://forum.dvdtalk.com/sports-tal...-new-post.html

Here's a little sample of what -should- be interpreted HTML code, presented to the user as a table, but instead being presented as raw HTML:

<TABLE BORDER=1><tr align=center><TH align="center">Rank</TH><TH align="center">Player</TH><TH align="center">Wild Card</TH><TH align="center">Divisional</TH><TH align="center">Conference</TH><TH align="center">Super Bowl</TH><TH align="center">Points</TH><TH align="center">Actual</TH><TH align="center">Diff</TH></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>:) The Cow</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>LA Rams</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>50</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>Trevor</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>Kansas City</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>50</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>:) Brew Crew</b></td><td>Dallas</td><td>LA Rams</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>55</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>I Drink Molson</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>Kansas City</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>55</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>PeMo</b></td><td>LA Chargers</td><td>LA Rams</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>46</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>Quake1028</b></td><td>Philadelphia</td><td>LA Rams</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>48</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>:) rabbit77</b></td><td>LA Chargers</td><td>New England</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>45</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>Jericho</b></td><td>Dallas</td><td>New Orleans</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>63</td><td>-</td><td>-</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>Cardsfan111</b></td><td>LA Chargers</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>44</td><td>40</td><td>4</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>Decker</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>43</td><td>28</td><td>15</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>the Chief</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>45</td><td>28</td><td>17</td></tr><tr align=center><td>-</td><td><b>:editking: drc</b></td><td>Indianapolis</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>-</td><td>47</td><td>28</td><td>19</td></tr></table>

So, yeah, if there's a switch that got thrown that you might un-throw to fix this so that the above looks like a nicely formatted rectangle containing rows and cells and text rather than line after line after line of < and > and / and other giberish, that would be terrific.

Thanks!

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Read up a bit ^^^ HTML was disabled because it is a security risk. They are looking into seeing if there are any workarounds.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

:lol:

But seriously...what is the "panic" button? I have been here forever, have zero clue what it is and have seen it mentioned here several times now.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Panic button has been requested to be fixed.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I'm in the same boat as kenbuzz as I usually starts the NFL weekly threads and use the HTML table formatting for the schedules. Without, it looks like crap.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I will have to admit, my first reaction was pretty much of disgust, but after using the site for a while, I've gotten used to the differences, and it doesn't bother me so much.
A couple things I do like:

1. The emoji browser! So much nicer than the old one
2. The old forum used to have problems with the "show me new posts in this thread" button. It would always put me 5-10 posts before the first new one. With the forum change, I always hit the exact first new post.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Can someone educate me on how exactly the HTML stuff went down here? I thought IBJoel said they turned HTML off here a couple weeks ago, something to do with YouTube and Twitter imbeds. He gave us a workaround for those imbeds. But even after that, the tables in our various sports and Challenge threads still worked. But then a couple days ago, something else was tweaked destroying the tables. If it was necessary for security reasons that’s fine, but it’d be nice to have a full explanation of the various things that you’ve done recently.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

So I'm not an HTML pro, but basically me turning HTML off happened for a couple of forums on the day before/after the software update.

Does Mobile version not have "search this thread" or "thread tools"?

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Is there any way to get the "forum jump" at the top of the page as well as the bottom? I hate having to scroll to the bottom of the page to get to a different forum. I hate the drop down at the top because I have to remember what category each forum is in.

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

Just some feedback: I really dislike the "infinite scroll".

Re: Jan. 3rd 2019 Upgrade Master Thread
 

I second that request.
