"Feature not a Bug" :P

A ton of new code is up, tagline images on articles now upload using ajax, but aren't saved until you add/edit the article.

This allows you to preview how it will look on the home-page directly in the article.

Any problems let me know.
Liam Dawe 3 Jun 2014
Adjusted tagline images to be 85kb max not 65kb to make it easier. Also reduced size requirement to be at least 550 width instead of 600.
Liam Dawe 13 Jun 2014
Just rolled out a fix for the ajax tagline image uploader, it shouldn't turn png's black anymore when it makes the thumbnail for the home-page.
Liam Dawe 3 Oct 2014
Just added a clickable link to the full-sized uploaded tagline image to all article pages where it might be needed. Useful if you need to grab a copy for anything.

Any weirdness then let me know.
Liam Dawe 3 Oct 2014
The "Publish Now" button has been added back to the add article page for editors, it now also appears on the create draft/edit draft pages too.

Any weirdness let me know ASAP.

It seems to work fine on my local dev environment, so hopefully it's okay.

As always keep a backup of articles in case of new bugs when writing them, never write fresh in the browser!

If you have feedback for the new design please leave it here editors.

A couple of things forum-related:

1) Everybody seems to be tagged as an Editor here in the forums

2) Underneath the Editor tag, just before the Steam, Desura, Twitter, Website, etc. identifiers (i.e. to their left), there's a small circle that has the same functionality than the "Quote" button at the top right corner of every message. As it's redundant and so small, I guess it shouldn't be there. :P

3) Also, what are those weird ellipsoids that appear on the left hand side of some nicknames? I thought that they may be only visible with the dark theme, which brings me to my other two issues:

4) I'm trying to chance my preferred theme but I can't. All I get is a "Server not found" error in usercp.php

5) As I told you a couple of days ago, the sales page looks terrible with the dark theme. I mean, almost nausea-inducing terrible. There's way too much contrast between alternate rows. Any way to soften it a bit?

Also, speaking of the Quote button at the top right corner, only this one and the "Link to this post" one have pop-up tooltips to explain what they do. The other 3 buttons (Edit post, Delete post, and Report reply) don't, and they could use some brief explanation.
Liam Dawe 19 Dec 2014
All those issues apart from the tooltips are fixed now.
muntdefems 19 Dec 2014
Now that's what I call a quick and efficient support! :D

PS: more things! On the right hand side column, the box that shows how many people is connected bears the title "Latest Forum Posts" which is surely wrong.

PS2: Oh, and the sales page still looks horrible with the dark theme... :S: (no rush, I suppose tweaking a theme requires some time ;) )
Liam Dawe 19 Dec 2014
Fixed block, also added sales block.

As stated in announcement, dark theme is not finished at all.
muntdefems 19 Dec 2014
Fair enough, I'll just revert to the light theme until further notice.

PS: I've just realized that it's not only a matter of aesthetics: with the dark theme, the prices and expiry dates become invisible in the lighter rows! So please bear this in mind when fixing the dark theme.

I seem to have encountered some problems with the pagination buttons on multi-page articles.

The back button on the left seems to change size upon moving to the second page, making it larger than the rest.

Also, the go to drop down box does not seem to allow me to select the first page anymore.
Hamish 19 Dec 2014
In addition, my profile page is listing a non-existent Steam ID.
Liam Dawe 19 Dec 2014
Fixed the pagination issues, and fixed profiles updating with the blank steam url, if you wipe it now it will be fine.
Hamish 19 Dec 2014
Yeah, it is working on my end as well now.
Hamish 23 Dec 2014
When I try to use the Search function in the top bar it says the webpage is not available.
