When on the home page, I can right click to open a forum in a new window (or in a different browser).



When in a forum I can right click to open a thread in a new window, etc.



When in a thread, I cannot right click to open a post in a new window or a different browser.

That's weird. We'll look into it.
 
Re: Right click issue

In tree view, the ''links'' you click on are not literal hyperlinks, but are javascript function calls.



It is possible to change the page to present whatever URL the browser would need to open a given thread and #jump to a given post (presumably opening it based on the #jump.)



Current HTML:

<A href=''javascript://'' onclick=''something(1234);''>

Would need to look like:

<A href=''http://www.soundfor....'' onclick=''something(1234); return(false);''>



This will cause the right-click function to work, and a left-click will still work as it does now, because the onclick block evaluates to false, causing the browser not to follow the href= link on a left-click (the javascript will have already displayed the post.)
 
Re: Switching to Flat in a thread

In the old forum, if you were, say, in the 10th reply of a post and you switched to flat view, your screen would be in that reply after the change and you could then continue on.



Here, it seems to always end up with the OP showing.

I think this also might also be the same core problem as what others have mentioned with tree view. We're looking into it.
 
More forum behavior squawkin'

When using the up/down arrows in tree view on a thread, I'm seeing a lot of weird skipping around. Anyway to get that so it just goes to the next thread in line? Also, clicking post links in tree view doesn't scroll back to the top where the post is. If you don't scroll up manually, you don't know the post you clicked on has loaded.

P.S. can't we loose that italicized, large, bold, goofy capital letter at the beginning of quotes?

We've brought the issue to the developer's attention. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.
 
More javascritpo

Today, in tree view, all the of links for subsequent posts in a thread show up as ''javascript://'' and do not point to a record in the database.

Tim,



When you click the links, does the post you clicked appear at the top? This is the same key problem as what others have been experiencing in tree view, we're working on a solution. I'll merge the threads together.
 
Re: More javascritpo

No... well, maybe... What do you mean?



I usually click on the arrow on the index page to take me to the first unread message in a thread. It gets that right, and displays that message correctly. Any subsequent message down the tree does nothing if clicked.



Also, the nav arrows by the date/time stamp display the same link behavior, i.e. ''javacript://'' and they were working yesterday.



Not sure what to make of the on again/off again behavior.



Have fun, etc.

Edit- new info... just went back to Bennys' DSP thread in the Varsity forum, clicked on the ''first unread message'' arrow and it took me to Bennett's original post. Used browser ''back'' to get to the index page, click the same arrow and it took me to the first unread post, like it should. Then for fun, I clicked on the next post and it opened correctly. This gets more curious.



Another edit- I think this may be an issue with my gig laptop's installation of No Script, although I'm pretty sure the options and settings are the same as my desktop machine. I'll dig deeper.
 
Re: More forum behavior squawkin'

Great news! The developers have created a patch for the issue, and it will also be a part of the next release.



You do need to have JavaScript enable for tree view to work though. In addition, you should be using an up to date browser, as tree view uses AJAX. However, the patch should help with the tree view issues that have been experienced.
 
Jumping to other Threads

Okay, I noticed this over the weekend when I was browsing with my iPad, and assumed it was funky javascript implementation on the ipad. However, here back at work today, about three times so far, I've cliked a link in the tree and landed in another thread. If I click ''back'' and click the same link again, it works correctly.



Extremely intermittent and totally not repeatable. But it's happened a dozen times to me in the past three days, on two different systems.
 
Re: Jumping to other Threads

And it JUST happened again. After writing this post and reading my reply, I clicked back on the ''Tech Support'' link at the top of the page, and landed in the Miss America post on the Basement.

 
Re: More javascritpo

Tim, (and others)



Are you using tree view and opening multiple pages in a tabbed browsing environment? The site gives me some funniness when doing that as well (it seems to think the latest tab I opened is the one I'm actually looking at, not whatever tab I'm browsing from right now) even in flat view.
