It's been broken as long as I can remember. All it needs is a one pixel wide image, I'd assume...

philzilla · Nov 9, 2002, 04:12 AM

and the 2 dead emoticons. and all the broken images in the user center...

philzilla · Nov 9, 2002, 04:20 AM

...and the instant code buttons. i don't use them anyway, but what's the point in having broken code on the page, on a nerdy forum?

a. there is no point, at all.

Well, I just fixed the smilies.

Can you point me to what exactly is the problem with the "poll image"? I haven't read a poll thread for a bit.

As for the broken images in User Center, I can't find any. The formatting needs to be cleaned up in the Private Messages screen, but other than that, the User Center looks 100% ok on this end...

As for the Instant vB buttons, I'll try to figure out why they're not working at some point; still a little puzzled about that. If anyone knows offhand, it would certainly help out.

Look at the results of a poll, displayed as a bar graph. The problem is the fill color in the bars; it shows up as a broken image.

It looks like it's the Private Messages zone that is affected. The message icons come up 404's. So do some of the control buttons.

example 1 vBB logolink, control buttons, icon legend

example 2 vBB logolink, control buttons, icon legend, message icons

Here are some of the poll-results images that aren't loading, if this helps any (URLs from the page's source code):

... and so on. Click any of those links and you'll get a 404.

This should certainly be looked at:

Code:
      </select

		>
      <select id="fontselect" 
		onChange="fontformat(this.form,this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'FONT')" onMouseOver="stat('font')" name="select2">

        <option value="0" selected>Font Face</option>
      </select

		>

You've got giant spaces on your closing "greater than' brackets. They're all over the place.

For the "instant vB" buttons, Image and Quote don't work, as well as the Bold, Italic and Underline. I checked the HTML, and it's the same as another vB forum I use. When I get back on my OSX system I'll do some more looking around to see if I can help out more.

I still think that the Font pulldowns should be removed if we're not supposed to use them. Doesn't make much sense to leave them in there.

Still not fixed...

Demonhood · Nov 18, 2002, 10:33 AM

voodoo · Nov 24, 2002, 05:52 PM

Have yo found any yet Demonhood? I long for some good looking bars. Mars bars?

Pro, go, whoa!

philzilla · Nov 24, 2002, 08:16 PM

Well, until then (then seems to have been defined as "sometime in the distant future"), how hard is it to put a 1 pixel image and stretch it?

Seriously... come on guys. It's really not that hard...

philzilla · Nov 26, 2002, 03:38 PM

i just remembered: last night, i dreamt it was fixed

true story

*LOL*

Oh, and I have quit the sniffing that glue Phil. My nostrils kept getting glued shut. It just didn't become me.

CaseCom · Dec 2, 2002, 01:12 AM

Edit: Demonhood, could you upload them to the www4/macnn/forums/polls/ directory? I don't have upload permissions there.

Demonhood · Dec 3, 2002, 10:29 AM

thanx reader. the poll images shall be fixed wednesday (tomorrow) afternoon.

Cipher13 · Dec 4, 2002, 06:05 AM

Wow, it only took a month.

That must be a record.

Oh, and thanks, I guess.

Don't you realize how HARD it is to FIX those links!??

btw, it has taken about 5 months (or whenever the polls were made an option - I don't recall bar images when we were using UBB either)

ps: Thanks Demonhood. This may have been low on your list of priorities, but it was seriously bugging me. ... . .
