Back-end Forum updates

I have just deployed some changes to the back-end of the NS Forums.  Everything should look and work exactly the same as before, and if it doesn't then something is likely wrong. 

Please reply below if you have any strange behavior in the Forums today.  I'll do my best to fix it ASAP.

On people that have replied to a thread (like this one), I can't click on their name and be then directed to their profile. I have to click on their karma or use the search bar to get to their specific profile.

Doesn't happen with the OP's name.

Using Chrome on Win Vista.

You are correct, that is a bug.  I'll fix that now.

I need more information.  What page, where did you click, what page were you on? etc... I can fix anything I can reproduce.

In multi-page threads, the links to the subsequent pages are missing once you're inside the thread (and the "First" "Prev" "Next" "Last" buttons aren't clickable. The only way to access additional pages is to navigate back to the thread listing page and click the page number next to the thread subject.

I'm seeing this in Firefox and Chrome on PC.

I came in here to post this issue. No thread in a cult will load for me. It will simply load a blank page.

sounds like some people cannot view their messages. They click on either the name or message inbox up top and it just refreshes the page. I'm fine, but i'm hearing people have issues

Please keep reports flowing in both good and bad. There's tonnes of rolling updates happening right now, so things will break-word-break as we go. Its hard to catch everything, so if you guys can keep on top of what you see it helps us a ton.

As well, always report browser / OS version - including all possible mobile setups. These days, there's a fucking assload of browser/OS combos we have to account for. :)

I dunno if it's related, but videos hosted on NS are loading super duper oober slowly the last couple days. I mean it easily 5 minutes to load 1 minute of video. and I really don;t think it's the connection as it's saying 30 Mbps on speedtest.net and youtube and vimeo load very fast. unless Rogers is throttling whatever connection is loading NS videos? I wouldn;t put it past them..

I've also noticed when you're looking at someones threads all the threads they ever created show up, not just ones with recent activity.

kinda funny, cause you can find threads like this

for a while before an update in 2010 i want to say, you could do that. Much better than the whole 30 days thing. Although as a mod, you can see all of them regardless ;)

the rate bar is now at the top. not sure about that yet.

i think the previous page and back to listing links should be above the sharing options though

And maybe put it in a smaller font.
Keep the all caps, but just a subscript or something.

Yeah I think the AM/PM thing is pretty legit but a bit too big.

And also I am definetly not a fan of when you go to a member and look at their threads, I liked that it went away after a month.

Why you do this?

I like seeing threads to the beginning of time more. Easier to judge people. I think it's a nice add on.

I am too. I thought it was my shitty internet connection though. However, when I get logged out all the threads still show up in black rather than blue (unlike when I log myself out).
