Software Update

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok i think I am done messing around with the styles and am happy with the look now, it looks much cleaner than it did before.

I also went through and did some forums listing changes which I am happy with and makes stuff less cluttered.

Two new Pub Members Only features added today the first is the ability to collapse / hide the Sidebar. (Not available in the SatelliteGuys Classic Style)
The other is I have enabled Profile Posts / Status updates for Pub Members. When we first moved to XenForo we had this enabled but turned it off because people were using it to spam and to send private messages when its not a private message system. So now only Pub Members and Staff can post updates. Registered members (non Pub Members) may like someones status if they want.

Now I am told there is another patch coming out that fixes Firefox issues that some Firefox users are seeing. As soon as that is released I will apply it.

Thanks for your patience and for allowing us to make SatelliteGuys Better for you!

Everything looks good for me now using IE 11.

Ok just applied another patch which I believe takes care of he rest of the issues.

Here is what it fixed.

• Sticky footer - minor javascript bug that caused the height of footer to increase
• Postbit issue on firefox where images and text would not wrap properly - mainly affected firefox and IE
• Flexbox footer improvements for IE10
• Deleted uix_visitorTabs - we use navigation_visitor_tab for better support with add-ons
• Home link as icon spacing on IE and Firefox
• Social Media icons can be toggled on or off on a per theme basis as well as global
• Global footer html parsing issue fixed - supports html now
• rating and event icons in the profile tab have been fixed

Sidebar?? I guess us old fart Luddite antique 800x600 users,don't have to worry about such things
Just the pita of now having to click MENU to get to where the Forums button is.

Is it just me or is the site snappy until you make a reply to a post?

It sits there for like 3 seconds then posts the reply finally

I am seeing the same myself. The rest of the speed is very good.

Let's see....

Yeah, definitely a hiccup there. Does exactly like you describe -- just hangs for a few seconds and then it posts.

 

[Bobby]

Yep, I noticed the replies taking a bit of time while everything else is snappy....

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I put in a ticket. If you see "Service Account" logged in or posting it is them trying to figure out whats going on.

I like the collapse the sidebar option

why is it every time I come here for the first time I have to hit "close sidebar"?

It doesnt stay permanently "closed"

It means your browser is not saving the cookies being set.

It means your browser is not saving the cookies being set.

Well, I don't know why not, but none of my browsers retain this setting beyond a single session either.

 

[JSheridan]

Mine saves the setting properly. Firefox 35.0.1.

 

[dodger72]

mine doesn't either

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Sorry if it's not working correctly. After filing a report last night I am told that the saving of the setting is browser dependent. And that my only options are to the collapse sidebar feature to all or leave it as is.

 

[Mr Tony]

Mine saves the setting properly. Firefox 35.0.1.

I'm on FF 35.0.1 and it deosnt save. Weird

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Seeing the same thing here on FF 35.0.1 on Windows 8.1

Instead of bugging them through a ticket I will try going through their forum, sometimes they are more likely to fix something is people bitch about it in their forum.

 

[JSheridan]

I'm using Windows 8.1 and Firefox 35.0.1 and it's working fine. Very weird indeed.
