Also in related topics (right box) I get articles from restricted areas, as this link which is in Moderators forum:

Thanks for the catch!! Bug fixed :)

[Dani]

cereal, are you using any third party extensions or plugins of any kind??

[Reverend Jim]

Check this. The actual post has the same BG colour as the comment.

It's the same as in the reply from Mike. It's just that your reply has a different background color, since you are the OP.

Dani-

With regard to szabiz's post above..

On editing a post, the file upload function does not work on Google Chrome (Win 8).

I just encountered the same issue. If you edit a post, the file upload doesnt appear to work.

Windows 8/Chrome 28-

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/28.0.1500.95 Safari/537.36

yup, but I switched them off two hours ago and nothing changed.

I think the problem is given by the size of the fonts, if I click on CTRL+- (i.e. reduce) everything goes in place and looks fine, when I click on CTRL+0 (back to normal) the problem appears, but if I reload the page, it doesn't happen anymore, very strange.

The issue happens also in forum and profile pages, here are few screenshots:

Default zoom is 100%. Default font size is medium (16px), maybe depends on this. I will try with another linux box as soon as I can, maybe it's just my setup. I will let you know.

[Reverend Jim]

It's the same as in the reply from Mike.

Ah. INABIAF (it's not a bug, it's a feature). Makes sense now.

[Dani]

Testing testing 1-2-3 from a different PC with a fresh installation of Windows 8. Nothing installed on it except for Chrome, which I just installed for this test (and because I like Chrome).

[Dani]

I think it's your setup, Cereal. I thought I would be all fancy and make all font sizes relative ;) Apparently that wasn't a smart idea for uniformity.

I'll set a base font size up on my end. Let me know if that works at Ctrl+0 :)

[Dani]

Intended font is supposed to be 16px at 100% so I think it's something on your end??

[happygeek]

Just a heads up, noticing a small number of duplicate posts with the same time stamp since the changeover (only mentioning it as it's pretty rare otherwise - this is not an epidemic, just a handful of doubles) - see http://www.daniweb.com/members/1087776/Aiswarya1/posts for example.

Interestingly, I note there's also a bit of lag with the system catching up to what's happening after something is deleted: delete one of the duplicates and it still shows in the forum thread display even though I have refreshed it - for between 10 and 30 seconds. Wonder if this display lag is causing people to double post, thinking they have not successfully posted in the first place?

Sorry, I only have access to a Windows PC and an iMac.

Off topic...As a big web player this shouldn't stop you from installing virtual box and at least installing a popular distro like ubuntu/fedora/suse and testing right?

[Reverend Jim]

Interesting. I went to the chat window and it showed the following users

Reverend Jim
deceptikon
stbuchok
Dani
JorgeM

ehpratah

but all of the listed chats showed 0 chatting

[Dani]

Rev, that's who's currently online browsing the site. You can click on any of their names to type in their shoutbox, and they'll get an alert wherever they are saying there is a new chat message waiting for them in their shoutbox. It's like instant messaging of sorts.

[Reverend Jim]

Ah. My mistake.

[cereal]

Intended font is supposed to be 16px at 100% so I think it's something on your end??

Confirmed, the problem was on my end, I was using Google Chrome 17.* on Ubuntu 12.04, my system gave me this as stable version, by adding another source I was able to upgrade to version 28, now it's all nice and shiny.

Solution steps:

1. add new source:

   wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
   

2. add the key:

   sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list'
   

3. update:

   sudo apt-get update
   

After the update the system will prompt for the installation of the latest stable version. Otherwise search it by typing: apt-cache search google-chrome

As note: Chrome 23.* and higher displays fine.

Thank you for your time Dani! :)

The pop-up display for endorsements does not reflect the actual number. I have 19 vb.net endorsements but the pop-up on the vb.net forum shows 18.

[Dani]

I'll look at it tomorrow night or Monday. :)

[Reverend Jim]

I added a code snippet today but no matter how I format the code it still screws up the indentation. See here. I'm trying to line up the continued lines.

[Dani]

Sorry, I'm confused how you're trying to get it to indent?? It looks identical to the way it was typed in?

[Reverend Jim]

I'll try to attach two partial screens. One is while I am in edit mode and the other is after I post/save.

[Reverend Jim]

Note that not only is my alignment changed, but the first line is also indented differently. And if I reload the page it changes again.

[Reverend Jim]

I replaced the tabs with spaces and now everythng lines up.

[Dani]

I'm not so sure why tabs don't line up. I'll check it out when I get home tomorrow night.

[Dani]

Home from my weekend trip to Florida!!!!!! Relaxing tonight but I'll get right onto things in the morning.

[pritaeas]

Welcome back.

Member count (top-left) hasn't changed since last week (even though you stated in chat it should be updated a couple of times per day).

PFO down BTW?

[Dani]

PFO is fixed :)

Will look into member count. The endorsements number is cached so that's why it's off slightly. Funnily enough this is not a new feature ... it just moved from lower down on the page towards the top, and suddenly it's just like new to everyone :)

Still confused what you mean about tabs not working in code snippets. Can you give me an example I can reproduce? I don't want other people to have the same issue in the future.

[stultuske]

just saw a little glitch while reading this thread:

on the right, we have the 'Related Articles' section, with above that the 'Tweet, Google+, FaceBook, and in' share/like links.

the first time I noticed it, I was already on the same page for several minutes (so at that point not a 5 seconds css loading issue).

those pictures werent ordered like this:

' X X X X '
but rather like this
' X X '
' X X '

which showed them over the Related Articles title and the first of the links (with description) beneath it.

afterwards, trying to re-produce, the issue did occur again (and again) yet not as long anymore, so I haven't got a decent pic of it (since it eventually does correct itself, I do rather consider it a glitch than a bug)

I've noticed this in Chrome Version 28.0.1500.95 m btw.

[Ketsuekiame]

I get this I think because Facebook is blocked at work so I get the proxy error message there instead, but yes, it drops the icons down to the next line.

[Dani]

That can happen if there's bad latency on their end, but out of my control.
