[ Closed ] Forum Upgrades (Page 2 of 3)

Sorry, missed that part. I dunno, my last post was from 2009-08-17 and since then i haven't visited the forum with loggin in.

OK One big issue for me that is missing now is with large quotes and code blocks.
These used to cut off after a number of lines and we used to be able to expand these but now the whole quote or block shows.
This is quite a nuisance but I don't know if anything can be done?
Example here
http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?pid=107083#p107083
There is a particularly large block in one of my posts quoting an error page. It doesn;'t need to be shown in full and indeed it makes the thread difficult to read.

But I have to say that now this update is over a week old I'm loving it. Massive performance improvement. Thanks

Not at all :-)

It's free and AFAIK not run as a business so why waste time and effort reinventing the wheel?
I'm sure the mods have more than enough on their hands without having to maintain an application they have written as well.

Oh, that's a very good point. Once I've recovered from the rumble a bit, I'll fix that.

Because THAT question has never been asked before.

Are you guys working on a Rails forum application?  Is anybody?  I'm getting ashamed of constantly having to recommend my clients to use phpBB...

hey guys

There are problems with code that includes square brackets, eg in the following - try replying and substituting an open-square-bracket for <osq> and close-square-bracket for <csq>

fruits = %w(apple plum pear orange banana)
fruits.each_with_index_do |fruit, i|
  puts "fruit = #{fruit}, i = #{i}, fruits<osq>i<csq> = #{fruits<osq>i<csq>]}"
end

Sorry if you already got told about this in another post

What's the name of this new theme? Is it custom? I LOVE it.

We actually did have syntax highlighting / numbering in an earlier version of the forum, but when we upgraded PunBB our plugin broke.  I'll look into getting it back.

Yeah, I think the problem with the numbers, iirc, was that our particular plugin made it hard to copy and past code snippets (the numbers would get copied as well, screwing up the code).
