Arlie Rahn Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Just got this update: Hi Arlie, I'm a developer here, Marc asked me to take a look at the posts you have missing. We've come up with a plan to fix those for you, however it may be the end of the week before they become visible for you. We'll keep you updated with the progress. -- Stuart Silvester Invision Community Support 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Now I've just spotted a new problem that I just ran into - up until a few minutes ago, I had 490 posts displaying in my post count (shown here): But when I took a look at my post count a few minutes ago, it had dropped unexpectedly to just 302: What happened to cause this? Did I just suddenly end up losing almost 190 posts for some reason or other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was over 1k yesterday I don't post a lot, but most of my posts came after 21 March, and my number has changed too, I think I'm down to 20 something and was about 80 on the old forum. Also lost my entire render thread is missing on this forum, but I guess it came after 21 March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I just suddenly end up losing almost 190 posts for some reason or other? I think they are implementing a fix for bringing over the post. Your 490 number was based on all the posts being over (pulled from VBulletin). But, not all of them came. It seems like they are re-running the counters as posts come over. My expectation would be that your posts would increase until close to the 490 number as all come back over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Is it possible to change the line break spacing on the forum (or at least in the Dynasties section)? The spacing is pretty large compared to the old forum. I think it would look better. New forum: Old forum: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mildly_Amusing Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Don't quite know what happened but something went very strange with the first post in my graphics thread in the TEW 2020 Mods section. Formatting has completely broken and it's not the old BBcode as I edited that out when we moved to the new forums. None of my other posts in the same thread have the issue.

On my end I've actually GAINED posts somehow, going from 3.4k yesterday to 3.8k today 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) To add to Hollywood's post, line breaks are definitely an issue, not just in the dynasty section. It seems lines are double spaced and line breaks have that "Add Space After Paragraph" option from Microsoft Word or something by default, and so we need to hit shift+enter to go down a line instead of two lines and it still leaves a huge amount of space in between lines. Hope that makes sense. It's a relatively minor thing but would be a massive QoL fix for the majority of users.

Arlie Rahn Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Given we are now in HTML, I think this is standard. short line break is Shift+enter big line break (new paragraph) is just enter. Let me see if I can mess with the CSS and make it tighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arlie Rahn Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 You guys can use the <style> tag before your post. Here's what I used here. I just pasted this under "Source" before posting: <style type="text/css"> p { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1em; }</style> So I started the post, clicked "source" pasted the above style and then clicked source again to get the toolbar back for my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I did this page with it and it is pretty crammed for main posting. But, for dynasty writers, just put the above style in your first post of the page and it should stay for the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those looking for the same spacing as the old forum, the following code closely resembles it: <style type="text/css"> p, div { margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 1.2; }</style> 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my end, on the other hand, my diary posts beyond March 21 still have not appeared yet, but reading what you mentioned does give me some hope. 3 hours ago, Dalton said: To add to Hollywood's post, line breaks are definitely an issue, not just in the dynasty section.

Hope that makes sense. It's a relatively minor thing but would be a massive QoL fix for the majority of users. I had the same problem when I noticed the first post on my diary thread yesterday - for some odd reason, it had developed huge gaps in between paragraphs and I wasn't able to fix it in the editor to make it look the way I wanted it to, and I was leary of editing it via source code in the event I ended up inadvertently messing it up even further. I've saved my non-event diary chapters on my computer via use of the rich text format, though, so what I did was paste the text from the original post that I had saved in RTF into the first post to reformat it and saved it, and it came out fine, as shown below: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fan Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I also just found out that at least in my belt renders thread, images have started appearing in most (though not all) of my visible posts again (up until at least yesterday, only the image code was appearing where the image would be). 😁 An example of this is below, so I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed.

TheAwesomeZero101 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Is there a way for the old BBcode threads to be viewable without seeing posts with the formatting messed up or does it have to be updated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 As of right now, I think they will need to be edited (although some have come over OK). I would wait until the weekend though as the converter is still working on posts through Friday. I will keep you guys up to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofwhispers Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Just curious as to if there are any updates with the old posts being carried over to the forum and the other bugs being worked out. Not sure if they've been posted elsewhere and I'm just not seeing it, but I'm not seeing any difference after Friday. Thanks in advance for any information.

Adam Ryland Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 No, you haven't missed anything. Any updates that we have will be posted in this thread by Arlie as and when we receive them from Invision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spargs73 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Is there a way to solely view your Followed threads and pick up reading that followed thread at the last read message? The previous board had this option, but I cannot for the life of me find that option here. All I see is an option to read posts for all followed threads in an activity stream, which is confusing.

Arlie Rahn Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I'll look for that option. I talked with support on Friday and they said they are still working and should give me an update today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
