Hi again, Tip.It Staff... :)

 

I must be a powerful bug hunter or something, because I've just tripped over another bug by total accident. I feel utterly embarrassed that I didn't take notice of this before now. :oops:

 

Over on the "Status Updates" Feed Page, located at http://forum.tip.it/statuses/all/, viewing in the "IP.Board" and "CleanCut" themes results in proper indication of a 'New' status posting. However, and this is the bug, viewing the page on "Deflection" and "Tip.It Theme" themes (basically, all the dark ones) causes the username of the status poster to display instead, as well as show it like a reply to a status. If I had to take a guess, I would say some code is missing from those two darker themes. :-k

 

Anyway, I already understand a forum update is pending, so don't go crazy on me please! I'm posting this to make sure you're aware of the bug, in order to enable it to be fixed after the update. (Please?) Heck, I figure this is low-priority as well, so I'll patiently wait for it to happen whenever you'll get a chance and feel up to fixing it. Until then, I'm buzzing off, but listening in from the background. :shades:

I actually don't see any differences in any of the themes. Could you screenshot the specific problem?

Bah, I forgot to indicate where on the page I'm seeing this. D'oh! #-o

 

Look at the column on the right side (where the most recent updates are listed) of that page I linked to, and toggle across the different themes. If you don't see it still, post back and I'll work on getting some screenshots up. :huh:

Do you mean this?

 

 

If they're not replying to their own status, this happens when they create a new status.

I'll work on getting some screenshots up soon to give a side-by-side comparison between "IP.Board"/"CleanCut" and "Deflection"/"Tip.It Theme" in order to show what I'm talking about. Stay Tuned! :geek:

 

~D. V. "Beginning to think I should have had screenshots in-hand before I started this thread..." Devnull

Just to warn you in advance, if this is some sort of skin issue, which it seems it is, we're due a big IPB update soon. All of the skins will be updated.

Could you screenshot the specific problem?

Here's some screenshots, finally... (Sorry for the extreme delay!)

 

----------------Tip.It Theme----------------- --------------IP.Board Theme---------------

-------------------(Wrong)------------------- --------------------(Right)---------------------

 

Basically, Deflection and Tip.It Theme are doing it Wrong and indicating as if a New Status was only a Reply, while IP.Board and CleanCut are doing it Right and indicating New Status posts properly. With these screenshots of the "Recent Actions" column, you can see a good side-by-side (well, as close as I could get while fighting with an Image Editor's Cropper, FireFox, and the two different theme's own font settings) comparison of the dark themes versus the light themes, showing exactly where New Status markers aren't being shown on the dark themes. And thankfully, it looks like Status Replies by the Status's Author are unaffected by this bug. :geek:

 

I would almost bet just about all that's needed is like a code copy or such to fix this. :shades:

 

(Knowing my luck, I totally didn't properly get your more recent post to me. Shame on my brain, eh?)

 

 

 

As for this...

Uh... I think I covered this already? :o

 

<*checks above*>

 

Yup, I did. I'm already heads-up on that, this time. Here's the quote from me about it...

BTW, I am glad to hear that the skins have been already put on the to-do list. At least this thread will help in nailing this particular bug. :)

Okay, I can see the problem now. Thanks for pointing it out. Just wait and see if the new forum update irons anything out since the new skins for the new board version will be different.

You're welcome. :)

Already doing that. As I said before...

Until then, I'm buzzing off, but listening in from the background.
