Mike Posted April 4, 2006 Share Posted April 4, 2006 When users are shouting to the shoutbox, a system is in place which only allows them to send one shout every 10 seconds. It has come to my attention that when they attempt to send two messages within 10 seconds of one another, "Error" is displayed in the shoutbox. It should instead say something akin to "Flood control is enabled on this board, please wait 10 seconds before replying or posting a new topic". I haven't had time to attempt to fix this bug tonight but I will try tomorrow. In the meantime: this isn't an error, it's just a bug of some kind. EDIT: This might also be an appropriate place to say that I made a small tweak today so the badword filter is now disabled for all users who have access to the Free-For-All forum.

Guest Anders Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm still opposed to censoring anything at all, but this compromise is wonderfull. :happy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob stole my cookie Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 can you make it flash whenever anyone says something new (messenger style)? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 This issue is now fixed. can you make it flash whenever anyone says something new (messenger style)? I'm afraid not, that would constitute too large a modification of the existing code. I think the mod author is working on a new version which behaves like you described, but by the time it comes out we will probably have moved to vBulletin which has a realtime shoutbox anyway. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 oh noo!! Invision is good! We have to make the switch vBulletin in order for the planned social networking and music management mods to work. It's all explained here:http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/YC-to-...work-t2437.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anders Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 oh noo!!Invision is good![/b] Yes, but honestly, vbulletin is gooder. *Glares at Lee* :dry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spc1st Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Hopefully that'll fix the annoying problem with the forums not automatically refreshing content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spc1st Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 For some reason, when I use Invision boards my browser (Opera) doesn't automatically check for changes (or doesn't do it correctly), and it'll always refer to the cached version. I have to manually refresh the page to see the changes - very frusterating to say the least :D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to manually refresh the page to see the changes - very frusterating to say the least :laugh:. You mean when you click a link taking you to, say, the board index, it produces a cached version of the page? Strange.There is a setting which tells the board to output no-cache headers though; this should have the effect of stopping the user's browser caching any pages. I just turned this setting on, see if you have a better experience now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 on the topic of the shoutbox.... shoutbox rules. Do not argue with anyone. or something to that effect. That's pretty restrictive. Are you sure it's a good idea to have that as a rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure it's a good idea to have that as a rule?[/b] Because the shoutbox is probably the first thing a guest will see when they visit the board, we would prefer it if members refrained from arguing in it. That sort of thing sullies the atmosphere. However, the key word is "argue", so you are free to debate with another member. If you really must argue, the appropriate place for that would probably be the FFA forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_is_D Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 "However, the key word is "argue", so you are free to debate with another member." lol. ok.... Debating is basically a healthy arguing. We have to know what the difference is: we're all responsible and want the guests to have a good impression of us :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
