Kodi Forum : Report forum issues here
#1
Hey guys,

As you can all see the forum is back. Our forum server is still offline, but we have restored the backup to another server.
We took the downtime as an opportunity to upgrade it and bring in our new theme that was in development.

The theme wasn't completely finished yet, and we haven't extensively tested the new forum software so it might be a bit rough around the edges.

If you find any functionality which is missing and we used to have, or anything which is simply not working correctly, please check the list below.
If your item is not in the list, feel free to post a reply and I'll add it.

Anything which is not about the forum will be removed - lets keep this thread clean!

Issue with Unapprove Post...

The thread in question is the first one... Donations Wanted!!!

This is screenshot before Unapproving a post... 
Image

This is a screenshot after Unapproving a post... 
Image

The thread becomes illegible after Unapproving, but is still there.

Also, when you view the Unapproved post, there is no indication that it is Unapproved. Previously the post would have a pink background.

Agreed. The text for the unapprove thread is the same colour as the background so invisible. So it's a skin issue

Re : Forum Team listing... https://forum2.kodi.tv/showteam.php

Under "Administrators" listing, is it possible to have a "Forum Moderators" listing. It would make it easier to track who is and is not a Moderator.

Getting funnies with the header layout, see top right where the user drop down should be

Also initially posted an image directly into the post using ctrl+v, and created an ascii  mess.

Selecting a post will blank/blur its 5 action icons in the bottom right, until you hover over them with your mouse cursor. Confused 

Also not all forum emoticons are installed, including the More option:

Fixed.
Sorry for editing the post but it's quicker/easier this way...

The text color (=light gray) of the timestamp above a posting is making it a bit too hard to read comfortably.
Something more darkish gray should help.

Fixed. Might take some time to show because of cache.

From the top Header bar...

Click MORE
From the dropdown menu, select View Unread Posts
That selection has been mapped to the Search Box.



Won't be fixed. Link removed.

Needs a plugin. Not sure I want to install it because of only one query that basically does the same as "View New Posts"
TBD

f**k..... started editing without sudo | M.K.

Always read the online manual (wiki), FAQ (wiki) and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail Team Kodi members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules (wiki).
Please read the pages on troubleshooting (wiki) and bug reporting (wiki) before reporting issues.

Ok, understand. I did always think those two selections were quite similar.

Now that you quoted my post, I could barely tell that it was a quote. Is there anyway to add more highlight to the Quote box. That fine grey border is quite easy to miss depending on the view angle.

Fixed. Might take some time to show because of cache.
