Shoutbox and general ezBlock bugs.
« on: September 21, 2009, 11:55:35 pm »
Shoutbox:
- The latest shouts or the textbox for entering a new shout will alternatively not show up in Internet Explorer v6.0 depending on which forum page you have open.
- The latest shouts don't show up - you only have the new entry textbox - in the latest version of Chrome.

ezBlocks:
- The little white arrow that should allow you to hide/show a certain ezBlock doesn't always work. This has been reported to me by users of all major browsers. As far as I could tell, in Opera v10 the arrow works when the current page's URL doesn't have any more parameters after ?action=<current_action>, otherwise I click it and it does nothing.

Confirmed the shoutbox issues. These occur if you have refresh mode turned on then it uses the iframe. Quick fix is to disable auto refresh haven't been able to come up with a fix for that.

Ok have a fix for the next release for Chrome ie6 for shoutbox.
It will now detect the browser version and if it is one of those two disable the iframe/autorefresh and just show the shoutbox normally.

Oh well, I guess I can do without the autorefresh feature. I had set it at 30 seconds anyway and now I'll save even more bandwidth with it turned off. :)


Here's another Shoutbox bug:
- HTML special character codes appear as plain-text in shouts (e.g. &abreve; instead of or &#351; instead of ).


LE:
On a positive note, it seems the no-autorefresh workaround also solves the problem with the shout-text-area of the Shoutbox having the same background image as the overall forum page and thus appearing to be "transparent" in a very ugly way. Two birds with one stone, cool. :)


ELE:
Another small Shoutbox inconvenience: if I turn off the "says" text from appearing after every username, the text of what they're shouting comes directly after their name with only a space character as a separator:
Quote
user2 I don't know.
user1 Does this work?

This is weird, there should at least be a colon character after the name:
Quote
user2: I don't know.
user1: Does this work?

... or maybe the names could be surrounded by angular braces:
Quote
<user2> I don't know.
<user1> Does this work?

The 14th smiley gives an error because of the backslash in the shortcut.

A problem with shoutbox.
If Auto Refresh Time is not zero, on Internet Explorer shoutbox background change to white.
If Auto Refresh Time is zero, background not change.
On Firefox all is ok.
