I'm going to lock this topic.
I've already noted everything that was reported here, but it's too hard to keep track of everything if it's all in the same topic.

From now when you find a bug, please post a new topic for it. Don't forget to use the "NEW" tag so we immediately see it's a bug report ;)


------------------------


This thread is for reporting any bug or annoyance that you find
or to ask for help in post formatting while we all get used to XenForo.

We are quite aware that some of the old IPB bells and whistles are gone.
Some of them will be brought back later, and some will be gone forever.
We ask that you do not gripe about this. Nobody is precisely 'happy' about it.

While this forum software change was forced by an unpleasant occurrence,
it isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Keep looking around, try out the features and options of XenForo, and we'll all learn the quirks of it together.

I don't see a way to report a user for <insert reason here> reason, just a post.

Unless I am crazy and that option was never there.


You mean a report button on a user's profile page? Yeah we had one under IPB. In time we probably will again.
For now if you find the need to lodge such a report, PM it to one of the staff.

A rather strange bug.
I just got an alert saying someone quoted me in a thread I never posted in and it also led me to a post that didn't contain any quoted posts from me.

I also had a couple of phantom alerts yesterday- the icon popped up but there was nothing there when I clicked on it.

I "Sometimes" get the option to unblock someones ignored content. Othertimes it just shows the thread without any of the ignored posters posts leaving it very hard to decipher what is going on.

Quote box is overextended regardless of the horizontal length of the browser, across multiple browsers, and across both themes.

It's been evident throughout all the other news posts with quotes, but none of them have been right next to the featured picture so it is hard to notice.

It is no great problem but at the end of every thread (I have yet to check properly around forums, the wiki and whatever else) I have as much space again that is completely blank (the dark blue of the background in this case). Should I have time later I will try my hand at investigating it a bit.

Figured out what it was (probably should have checked properly on the day) that was causing the massive borders.
-the little upload swf thing ( http://gbatemp.net/js/swfupload/Flash/swfupload.swf ) which formerly hovered around the post reply button (made changing the size of the reply box annoying on occasion) now sites at the bottom right of the page. Noscript blocked it and the little click to activate thing sits there which ends up doing that.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
