Hapori Tohu Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Over the next few days, we plan on performing some long-overdue upgrades to BZPower's forums to get us running on the latest version of our forum software. While this happens, the forums will obviously be offline, and the entire site may experience some brief downtime. We don't expect there to be any major issues, but things may look a bit different when we come back. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding while this happens!View the full article 2 Quote News Forums Q&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Xemnas~ Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Okay, it looks like the forums are back. Great! However, I do have one issue. I noticed that on at least three of our boards (Games and More, Completely Off-Topic, and Off-Topic Culture; there may be more that I haven't noticed), each topic has a sidebar with information about top posters in the topic (Exhibit A). While this is a nice thought, unfortunately it leads to the posts in those topics becoming squished and moved over to the left side of the screen, while leaving a ton of blank space on the right side of the screen starting partway through the page (Exhibit B). I am wondering why this feature was included in these three boards specifically and none of the others. It's really jarring when compared to the rest of the site. Can this feature be removed? I frequent the RPG board and I'm used to having my text box be in the center of the screen, and I'm sure my fellow members who also use that board a lot will agree with me. 2 Quote BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be turned off now. Thanks for letting me know! 1 Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taria Pakari Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 One thing I've noticed is that we don't have rank images anymore, but they are still there on night theme, albeit as weird little boxes on poster avatars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronicler06 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 While bringing back post rank images and titles for all of us to see is obviously something you're still working on fixing, I'd like to point out that I am able to see my post rank image and title in the drop-down list from clicking my username in the upper right corner of the screen, with the additional note of it being rank ###/293. (For a forum that has been notoriously secretive about the post ranges of various images and titles, knowing the total number of them all is quite a significant clue for those of us interested in keeping track of them.)

Interesting! That may be helpful. Please let me know if you spot your rank anywhere else. Edit: Looks like I've gotten the images appearing fairly nicely on profiles, so that's a start at least!

Chronicler06 Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I can see the six gold gears icon identifying you as an admin, but I currently do not see any other post rank images or titles showing up here on these forum posts. And yes I can see other member's post rank titles and images on their profile pages, so thanks for letting us know about that at least.

Mushy the Mushroom Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Have the member titles disappeared for everyone else also? Noticed them missing from the Staff page but don't see them on profiles either.

Black Six Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Rank images should be fixed everywhere except for posts. It looks like the plugin we have to add the spinnies is overriding any changes I make to try to fix the ranks there. I'll keep plugging away at it. Please let me know if you see any visual weirdness anywhere as a result. 1 Quote Bio of a BZP Admin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wow, we went a full iteration without that being fixed. Not that it's a huge deal at this point though, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronicler06 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 While post rank images and titles still don't show up in the posts, at least I can see them by simply moving the cursor over the member's username or avatar to automatically bring up that small profile box, which I recall had been showing up as a blank error message in the initial days after the forum upgrade, so I guess that's another feature that's now back to working as good as usual.
