Website Graphics Glitch Thread

In case you haven’t noticed because you’re browsing this site via AOL 3.0 or Gopher, we changed back to a black color scheme.

Anyway, use this thread to post any glitches you come across. It took about 30 hours of work just to change everything over, and that’s undoubtedly not enough to do it right.

Include what browse you’re using when you see the glitch.

(If you use IE, you’re an ass.)

And if you can get a screen capture of it, even better!

Firefox 16.0.2 on SL 6.0. This bit is from the New Posts search. There is glitchy crap between a bolded title and the author information.

The context menu for “Selected Threads” being is cut off sometimes (depending on menu’s position in the frame, the full menu only shows up when the button is at the very bottom of the window)

The text in a lot of context menus is white on grey which is very hard to see.

That’s the rest of the thread title, it’s covered up so that the field doesn’t stretch… not sure how to fix this one to be honest.

Ok, will fix the colors on that.

Also, note to self:

Homepage in IE.
Fuck IE.

Not graphics related but as long as you’re listening I note that the Varrots don’t go up any more when a post gets upvoted. That was happening before the colour scheme change though.

This is not a bug, but a request; if we’re tweaking, I vote we make youtube videos allowed to go fullscreen. The trick is to put

allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"

in the correct iframe tag.

On the bug front, see the above code block - color scheme needs moar contrast. (edit: in preview post mode only)

Hrm, will see if I can fix that too.

Oh noes. I went to The Armory. I was about to make a new thread which would’ve been super awesome. Put my pointer over the Create New Thread button. A red blob/box magically appears over the button and sends me to Sociocide when I click on it.

Well, shucks. Go back in to try again. Use the Create New Thread button at the bottom of the page instead. No red blob there and it sends me on to the next page. Sweet. Go to the title field. Red blob. Click anyway hoping it will let me type there. Sociocide.

I feel so lost and confused right now.

Actually, it’s not just when I try to create a new thread. Went into some other threads in The Armory. Red blobs all over the place when I move my pointer around the top third of the page.

Skrrrrreeeeeen SHAAAAWWWWTTTTT PUREEASE

Not a glitch, but we should probably have the rep and report buttons in a different colour. Right now they’re blending into the post box and you have to mouse over them.
Noobs will be lost and confused.

Red blob all up in 'yer face. It will appear in several spots at the top of the page as I move the mouse.

Just curious, is the site running off Drupal or Joomla?
I think I asked once before, but don’t remember the answer…

In the user control panel or settings or whatever it’s called now.

Windows, Chrome

the subscriptions tabs spill over into the ads.

I don’t think Omega appreciates the invasion of His adspace.

I did a quick test with chrome’s developer tools – adding height: 100% to the <h3 class=“searchtitle”> fixes the issue. Don’t know if the element is used elsewhere though.

EDIT: That’s if you do want to stretch the element. Otherwise I guess text-overflow: ellipsis might be of use, it truncates the overflow part of the text to “…”, but no idea how the rest of the css affecting the link element needs to change to support it.

EDIT2: I’d really prefer it to stretch the element to show the full thread title. If not then try to combine the ellipsis + full title on hover.

I’m getting this in the armoury too, red rectangles in two places, and the graphics and text seem out of line.

VBulletin and related products. Drupal and Joomla are horrible. If I could figure out how to do the front end on WordPress, I’d have done that years ago. But VBulletin, I suspect, actively designs to prevent connectivity between the to so they can sell their own CMS.
