Short update on the post layout issue. I know where to tackle it, but not completely how. I haven't had time to crack that yet. My hope is that I can present results Thursday.

 

Please be patient, I will solve it.

 

regards,

Hein

I think Zsa Zsa Gabor is testament to the patience of all who post on this site.

In the meantime, I've been into my settings and ticked the "ignore signatures" box. Nice and tidy now.

Don't have a clue if this is related to the current formatting issues but the full version button the mobile site is loading the mobile version and is fucking annoying.

Looks like I did it. Please check if things have changed for the worse.

I did notice a few things in the main forum page:

The wrong colour is a CSS setting, I haven't found out wich one though.

 

I have no idea where the grey circle segment comes from.

 

I'll have a closer look tonight.

Top work, Hein. I wouldn't worry about the gray circle though, I'm pretty sure it's always been there intentionally as a "reflection" of the Reaper face.

For your next trick, can you recover the thread taglines? Some people worked hard on those, I've heard.

*The ”0 warning points” text is new.

*The ”Most Liked Content” for the forum is also new.

 

Anything else new?

Surgery seems to have been successful.

I'm pretty certain that the segment of a circle was there before and the blue box, as I said previously, is needed by Time as it's his mode of transport. :)

Full version error still present. Any chance of a fix?

I don't understand your complaint. Can you describe the problem, preferably with a pictore?

I spotted one only mods are affected by. As members may have noticed, the forum software does something 'clever' when you start a new topic: it changes the title of the topic from 'SOmething like THIS' to 'Something Like This', presumably to avoid titles 'IN ALLCAPS'. This misfeature has been around for several years. A misfeature, because it also ruins abbreviations and other multi-capital words. Until the upgrade a mod had a button to change titles that would bypass that misfeature. In the new version that button also uses it. As a result I had to modify the title of a recently created topic with the abbreviation 'UK' in it through the admin database tools.

 

I hate it when software knows best and won't let me do the Right Thing.

Hein

i can't take a picture unfortunately but basically when using the annoying mobile site i can click the full version box at the bottom of the screen which takes me to the full site. In short when i click that button it takes me back to the too of the page remaining in the mobile site.

What happened to the Politicians Thread? We used that for talking about erm, politics...

 

Different from the Political Frailty thread that was used for pointing out which politicians are really old/ill!

Hi, I'd like to point out an error. On this page, Lord Denning is listed as born in 1903. Yet it says he was 100 years old. Which one is it?

You like posting in this thread more than BG likes bumping "Deathlist 2014"

 

Still good point though, although there's a few errors there in the murky depths of those old pages. You probably shouldn't spend too long poking around in those dusty old things you'll give yourself chronic hackingcoughitis or summat.

 

The reason I looked at those old DL versions was because I wanted to see which celebs have been picked most times. So far, those with 10+ appearences are...

 

Clive Dunn: 16

Queen Mother: 14

Ronald Reagan: 14

Ronnie Biggs: 13

Bob Hope: 13

Kirk Douglas: 12

Eli Wallach: 12

Pope John Paul: 12

Fidel Castro: 11

Michael Foot: 11

Katharine Hepburn: 11

Barbara Cartland: 11

Kurt Waldheim: 11

Jake Lamotta: 10

General Pinochet: 10

John Mills: 10

Alistair Cooke: 10

Don Bradman: 10

 

And yes, I appear to post a lot in this thread. Sorry, I'll see to it that I tone it down a bit in the future.

 

No need to apologise that is valuable data that you have collated.

 

I don't think Kirk Douglas will beat Clive Dunn.

 

Update:

Btw, is there a "DL-statistics" thread or something to that extent in this website?

That full version on mobile not accessible error still around. I can use the site so it's fine but as I do most of my DLing off the phone it's mildly annoying. I promise this is the last time i'll complain.

I have a question about this place. Has the like button existed since the beginning? I've noticed that many of the ancient users have very little likes. I doubt they were an unfunny bunch of people so what's the explaination?

 

No you're right it hasn't. I have no idea when it was introduced, though, being fairly new myself.

It came in to use with the forum system upgrade at the end of October 2011. There was quite a big change in layout etc from the previous versions and included the option for posts to be shared on social media, that option was disabled quickly. Thread about the upgrade here : http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=8063&hl=upgrade&st=0

That option appears to have reappeared recently. Can we nuke that particular fucker?

I did have a look at it, but I can't reproduce the problem. I'm typing this on a desktop and my cell phone isn't smart enough to browse the web. I know a few ways I can try to get around that, but I need some time for that. I hope you appreciate it's not my highest priority.

Hein

ummm....... re: guests not being able to read user profiles since the latest update -

 

Is this something built in to the new system which we can't change?

What difference does it make once you've signed up? None?

 

Not being picky, just don't see it as an issue.
