Yuku cutover issues (Latest: Splitting/merging topics; cuss filter)

davego, hit the Inbox link at the very top of the page near the right.

If it's possible I would much prefer to only have the time in the last post thread like it used to be so that topics only take up one line.

davego, I think you can also click "interact" under a person's picture and there's an option to "Message Me"

Ok, for those of us who can't read the tiny, tiny font, how do I adjust font size?

[tnweill]

I like the changes, but not the fact that Yuku is now deemed inappropriate at work now. Great, work production has to increase!

[strawbossisevil]

Weird, for some reason I can read the chat, but it won't let me participate.

 

I have a message that reads, "Connection failed! Maybe your network can't access the server, or the server is under maintenance, please try again later."

 

It's obviously not a problem on my end, as I was in there earlier in the evening. Anything I can do to get back in the chat?

[1992casey]

Just keep trying, strawboss. If it doesn't work in one browser, try another. We haven't quite grasped the pattern of when, why, or how it breaks.

 

(Sorry, Kristen, I know it'd be nice if you could see something more specific. http://static.yuku.com/v2//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif)

 

EDIT: Wow, RoCo; somebody else is complaining about fonts being too big. Methinks you might be in IE 6? It can't handle the code modern browsers do. If you're in there, try adjusting your default browser font size.

[strawbossisevil]

I've tried it in both IE 7 and Firefox, and no dice. The weird thing is that it actually enters me into the chat, but it is shaded, and I am not able to enter any messages.

 

I have gotten the same error message in both. It's strange, because two hours ago or so, everything was working fine for me.

There just seems something isnt right.....Im not sure if I like the look and feel yet....Is it still a work in progress? Im sure Ill get used to it.

My thoughts exactly. That really sucks. How am I supposed to get my Brewerfan fix during the day when Yuku is blocked as a Social;Dating site?

[1992casey]

T BONE 10,

 

On the Yuku end, it's a constant work in progress. Things have improved tremendously and often over the past few months.

 

On Brewerfan's end, it's definitely a work in progress. There'll be tweaks to the skin and functionality as we get into this over the next few days.

Yuku is blocked as a Social;Dating site

That would explain some of the features in the chatroom.

[hawing]

Anything I can do to get back in the chat?

 

I'm having trouble with it myself, if that's of any comfort.

[1992casey]

I believe Yuku views social as 'communities' rather than dating. Unfortunately, the word seems to red-flag blockers.

 

Another biggie red flag is the use of the word 'profile'. That word was suggested as a possible reason for the 'women seeking women' ads in the profiles of members of a cross-stitch forum.

just checking

[brewdude15]

i am still having trouble getting into the chatroom...i don't have any other browsers to go on, either.

[strawbossisevil]

Chatroom working for me. Thanks guys.

[Team Canada]

It seems like Yuku's loading slower so far, but it may be temporary, or just me..

[Team Canada]

Also: Quick Reply is going to be huge, as is the new URL construction, as you can reload the page without having to mess with the last post number.

[1992casey]

Yuku is generally loading much faster for me. The post editor is a bit slower, though, but I attribute it to the WYSIWIG format being much more complex than what we had before.

 

 

EDIT: Am I the only one who's finding that my scroll wheel doesn't work in chat?

 

EDIT 2: I love the fact that threads mark themselves read. I formerly used Mark Forum Read regularly. Now it's something I'll use occasionally or rarely.

[brewdude15]

argh...i guess i'll have downloading to try Firefox, because the chat is STILL not working for me.

 

This message continues to show:

 

The community you were looking for does not exist. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[Blazer25]

So the day we drop out of 1st place is the day we officially migrate to Yuku...I officially hate Yuku already!!!

[stoops17]

so is there a way to click on a thread from a forum view and go to either "last post" or "first new post since last visit" although these types of shortcuts may lead to people posting information in a thread that was already stated and I would understand if we wanted to promote more reading and less reposting

 

but its nice for those of us who do read more than we post

 

overall, I like what I am seeing so far

EDIT: Wow, RoCo; somebody else is complaining about fonts being too big. Methinks you might be in IE 6? It can't handle the code modern browsers do. If you're in there, try adjusting your default browser font size.

I originally used ems for the font sizes in order to allow IE users to be able to re-size the fonts in their browsers if they wished. Some of your members may have inadvertently set the default font size in their browser to be either larger or smaller though so that would account for why some people were saying fonts were too big while others were saying they were too small.

It looks like you've added some new font sizes in points which can be unpredictable since points are really meant for print.

Using pixels for font sizes is the easiest to work with and most predictable since you can set the sizes exactly and they will look the same in all browsers. The main draw back to using pixels is that IE users won't be able to resize the fonts then if they want to.

[Kristin]

BTW, if you want to center the board just look for this code in your CSS:

 

#wrapper {

background-color: #FFF;

width: 95%;

border: 5px solid #000;

font-size: 1em;

margin-left: 8px;

}

 

Replace the line of code highlighted in yellow with:

 

margin: auto;
