2014 - New TDF Suggestions

It gets hard to track suggestions in a thread that's old.

Starting off a new thread here to get feedback from all members as to what TDF should have. Remember, your suggestion should be for a greater good, examples:

We need to make it easier for members to find the content we post by categorising better
We need to encourage more participation and more sign-ups to keep the forum healthy
We need more Google traffic coming to the forum, so we should discourage copy pasting from other sites, for example
We need to offer a smoother experience and reduce spam
Quality of posts needs to be upped to make for a better reading experience for visitors
New theme for mobile devices and also a dark theme, etc

Suggest changes that you feel will improve the forum as a whole.

1) I guess the current moderated posts limit is 10. It'd be better if it was 5. Would encourage new members. Many don't return after their post(s) go to moderation queue.

2) Dark theme, example - take a cue form dark theme of tapatalk. It's so brilliant.

3) Quote notifications

4) User tagging - I do understand that some members want this at the cost of the option of being able to disable it, and I appreciate it too. If you can bring it with the required option, then it'd be a great addition.

1) Agreed, ideally 0, if the mods are willing to keep things clean if not too much spam is getting through. Using the new plugin I think registrations are cleaner now. The same plugin might work well with posts also. What say mods?
2) Will work on this. Any volunteers to work on a theme / modify one for our needs? Happy to give you credit for it.
3) Ok, will check plugins
4) Hmm, facebook-style? Ok, will look for options.

Can we have more and advanced smileys in Tapatalk like we have in the desktop version of TDF? or is it a tapatalk restriction?

3) Quote notifications

+1 to this. Just like we receive notifications for PMs and likes in TDF. XDA Forum also has a quote notification option.

Turn USER CP into a button.

chatbox on main forum page

chatbox on main forum page

not a good idea. no one would post on the forum and makes annoying noises[could be switched off]
not good for slow internet connections

text chat not voice ?

yup. bring it on.

liking the test theme for a couple of weeks now.

@dashing.sujay

Manual moderation limit is neither 10 nor 5. It is 3 since over a year.

user tagging plugin: [DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB4) - vBulletin.org Forum

+1 for Chatbox.

May be. But yesterday itself I saw a user's 8th post under moderation. And numerous times, when 4th or greater count post is under moderation.

Not 0, but at least first post must be moderated. Dumb spammers can be stopped right away there itself ?

And no to chat box, will hugely affect attention of users resulting in less activity. All the silly/small queries will land up there.

some users post rapidly before the first 3 are moderated only.

No "chatbox" please.

remove left , right and also bottom side add..

Anorion said:

Well, 4 posts in queue and 4th post in queue are different thing I guess.

I guess you're referring to the ads. Just use TDF v6.5 or Neo TDF members, and you won't face any of them.

PS: Change it from here, and you won't need to change ever.

oh yeah, seen that too, guessing the 4th and onwards posts still require moderation if the first three are not approved... at time of posting

Anorion said:
chatbox on main forum page

we already have an IRC channel...

Yee thats not so active, hardly 3-4 people there at any time

I be there most times. It used to be very active till last year

Anorion said:

it will look clumsy on main page, chatbox on a separate page is good.
No big forums has chatbox AFAIK so avoid

+1 to Themes and revamped smileys.

I'm against change of smileys.

These are classic.

Rest everything is okay.

Spacetime Games

Post whatsapp, yeah I agree, we nid some more smileys

ico said:

Rest everything is okay.

I too like the smileys the way they are, old but gold.

Some suggestions:

1. Make including at least one tag necessary when posting new thread.
2. Do not allow titles that include "help me", "trouble", "need sig bro!" and other immature parts.
3. Increase minimum post length to 10-15 chars. When I post LOL, I just have to add "..." to make it valid reply.

^ People should be allowed to lol when they want to. That's why we have 5 chars which is enough for a : lol : smiley.

Titles - we can't fix them. We have written guidelines in the Forum Rules. When we see such titles, we edit them. Or we edit after somebody reports.

A

Regarding smileys:-

1) What is the use of these(Animals section)?
:deer:

.......................
:owl:

2) I want to use two smiley the most, but cannot use as the picture doesnot justify it, :troll:

&

need to be changed.

3) :-O

-o), seems like someone laughing, rather than someone surprised rest all are good.

The image for facepalm is perfect. It's a classic!

i really don't care much about smileys all i need is :lol:

I dunno man, I really dislike the idea of chatbox / shoutbox.

vkl said:

yeah, because we have Akismet enabled now.

Akismet checks for first 5 posts.

If it thinks a post is spammy, it will put it into moderation. What this means is, a non-spammy 4th post will automatically get through whereas a spammy 5th post will not.

Can we get a Dark theme this year ??
I would really love a blackish theme....kinda like DOTABUFF....really love that dark grey color.

Any way many important site lile xda, android central, over clockers, tech enclave, erodov etc don't it. Just link the irc link on the Main page

we do have a sticky post for webchat.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/137279-thinkdigit-webchat.html

Eh i dont get it, it adds interaction for those who want, for those who dont want, it does not change the experience in any way if you dont use it

ugh, no to chatbox. TDF as of now looks good

you guys are not getting it. chatbox has nothing to do with design. keeping one extra tab open all the time for just chat eh?

I hate the idea of chat. Let's see though. First ironing out some theme/db/ajax problems. Will get to feature additions in about a month.

I'm fine with the present way of chatting i.e the IRC channel which we have.

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/chit-chat/137279-thinkdigit-webchat.html

One can easily configure it with any IRC client and access via mobiles & tablets too.

^

As per me, i barely/never use IRC. So, the present of chatbox won't affect me in any way :lol:

IRC is enough.

"but nobody uses it.

"

Start using it then.

PS: I don't use it anymore. :mrgreen:

sure people use it. you don't simply get GBs of logs without anyone using it.

K enough abt the chatbox, any other ideas?

unbatch the emails?

also, sometimes, a few threads randomly change notification settings from instant to none.

"Search this thread" option please like we have in xda.

Isn't the Chit Chat section supposed to be for non productive chatting activity?

Noo. Forum not same as chatting. At least we dont say good mornings and good nights... Yet. Didnt know chatbox was so polarising. Have it in the chit chat section maybe? Solves prolem of banal posts that way.

gameranand said:

yeps, its alive and well.

so what happened to the forum yesterday? was getting DB errors

MySQL crashed because someone DDOSed us

damn, so everything alright now? btw there were very few people on the irc maybe we should make a tab for it or something

Another +1 for a dark theme.
I always do all my browsing at night and it strains my eyes :-(

A DARK THEME!!!

Raaabo: So now I realize what you were testing!

Thanks for working on it.

dark theme yea!

Was custom building a dark theme. so there might be errors. Please check it out and let me know. That V6.5 was ugly so removed for now.

edit: OK you already discovered it... never mind

Raaabo said:

What? Removed v6.5? Who said it was ugly? It's "classic" actually. As I like to call it.
Neo TDF is too bright. So a balanced v6.5 is required. Pls don't remove it.

i always used 6.5 theme : (

ok, ok it's back.

thanks cause the dark theme needs some polishing

Images are yet to be edited. That will take some time. So apart from images, make suggestinos.

this is one ugly format

See it on a mobile screen and you will understand. We've been using the legacy look for awhile now. Which looks horrible for mobile users. This way, even on a mobile you get to read full width.

I expect a lot of flak for this!

hmm i can't speak for the mobile users, but the old look will be better for majority of the users

Adding the images here again:

I think you mistakenly made the members theme accessible to guests also

dark theme suggestions
-more colours. prolly neon and fluoroscent, it's all grey, and the little colour is all dark colours (dark red, dark green, orange)
-cant see diff between bold and normal text, change shade a bit, make bold text whiter?
-ditch the gradients on the buttons, use single colour buttons or one with less glossy gradients
-the dark theme is not dark enough, make more bits blacker?

isn't there an option on mobile to look at mobile version and full version? prefer the legacy look even on mobiles.

Yeah.. since tapatalk is free, and have notifications also. I hate to open tdf in browser.

Can we have a subforum for music? Chit-chat is too general for writing on specific albums or artists (although it isn't against the rules) and megathreads usually aren't conducive to detailed discussion.

^^this

for example you can create a subforum called 'Arts' where music and drawings or photoshop works can be posted.

as photography has its own section

Music is itself a subset of Arts.

We can have a section called "Arts" which can further have sub-sections of Photography, Music, etc.

Is it set that only Administrators can start a topic around here? I do not see a new thread button anywhere.

Can we have a website discussion section please. Where all issues about this website itself could be discussed.

Reason why I had to post this was:

I got the latest Top 10 (Vol 14 Issue 03) of Digit magazine today. There are a lot of shortened links in the text such as www.dgit.in/suvrev, but in my PC all of them throw out 404 error.
I also tried using some webproxies and they too seem to be encountering the same error.

Remove www from the link, it will work fine.

Regarding one place to discuss it all, it's here "From the Editor's Desk", but apparently it was recently closed.

@Raaabo - Links are not turning blue in the Dark theme.

Please Merge Indie Games section and Gamerz section.
There is hardly any activity in Indie section and no one goes there at all, however if its in Gamerz section then we will see some activity for those games too.

The icon colors look bad in the dark theme.

Imo no need to have 'mentioned' and 'tagged' statistics below avatar

[MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION] - test..

User tagging and quote notifications !! Yo yo..

All hail Raaabo !!

btw I also second to snap, no need to display mentions/tags below dp. Increases clutter.

[post=2084172]Re: 2014 - New TDF Suggestions[/post]

Damn, in Mentions on the profile page BB code doesn't work for some reason

free mod, maybe the paid version will have the ability to customise it and remove the mentions. Let's try this for a while and see first.

OK removed that stupid thread tag thing. Just mentions and quotes for now, unless people really must have the ability to tag other users in threads. I can only see misuse there.

Dark theme needs some more work yes. More critical things for now, but eventually it will happen. For now it's just for those who cribbed about it hurting their eyes at night...

The dark theme needs LOTS of refinements with icon colors, text color, selection color, text area BG color,etc.

the text boxes need some highlighting, or maybe just a tad lighter background to separate them from the surroundings..

Back in vB 3.8.x days I was using if-else in one template to hide menus for guests. I also did it for this "Neo TDF Guests" as well. It got overridden during some update.

But forum members themselves are not really aware of the way to change theme. Don't think it is an issue.

I've fixed it anyway.

Guests won't get the option to change theme now.

Code:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1)">


</vb:if>

I know, but if people type that instead, it should work too... Basically just as thinkdigit.com/XYZ == www.thinkdigit.com/XYZ so should digit.in. Some easy setting in the domain control panel has been left unchecked.

how to get rid of this Mentioned: X times? possible??

Yeah, what the hell is this "mentioned in". Its confusing, get rid of it. Its OK that now we can mention someone in the post and they will be notified but no need for showing mentions with every post.
What the hell is the use of me about how many times a person has been mentioned in posts. Whats the use of that ??

Plus one for disabling the "Mentioned" thingy.

true dat. removed mentioned from under avatar

Also there is no link to the actual thread in Quote notification. Sample this:

*i.minus.com/iCRuNwTHk7eXR.JPG

Only links are available to "profiles". Which is not desirable. Members want to be able to goto the thread from which someone quoted them directly.

I understand that you are trying to fix that and I really appreciate your efforts, just keep this in To Fix List of yours.

[DBTech] Advanced User Tagging v3 (vB4) - Page 65 - vBulletin.org Forum

I dunno if this has been suggested before..

but, how about a dedicated Thinkdigit app ( in playstoe as well as itunes ) that has access to both - forums & main site ?
Users can check out various threads by logging in in the app itself..

A few of us are working on one, but its more than a simple mobile browser for site and forum, but shhh, you didn't hear that!

As for forum, get tapatalk for your device.

Obviously it does.

He was anyway trying to get a feel of the "pain" a new user goes through while his post awaits in moderation queue.

The dark theme need some work. some different color combinations, but I am not sure what maybe others can suggest.
Can we have links and text box a little more highlighted?

IMO, it should be 3 or 5. Not more

Alright Dark theme, Many thanks.
Finally a relief for the eyes.

Is the work done completely

nope.jpg
can we have that thing where spoilers go visible on mouse-over instead of a nested box?

I don't get it. If I post now, it is only visible to me not others is it? Mods moderate the posts them only it's seen?

Yes. That's how it works, Atleast for me when I joined..

amjath said:

No one sees it except mod. Only after he approves it from moderation queue, your post will go public. And if no mod is online at that moment, you got no option other than to wait, wait and wait.

i hate that wait...took a long time for my posts to get posted from my first TDF A/C due to this moderating rule..eventually forgot the username and password.
The 2nd A/C got much quicker approval though..

To control spam, we have to do this.

And just not to trouble members waiting loong for their posts to appear, no of posts for moderation is kept at min.

For usual reasons, it's not possible to moderate posts 24/7. I hope you understand.

[MENTION=26711]ico[/MENTION] why on earth would you set the moderated posts setting so high?

Raaabo said:
whee! now to go find this stupid setting and reduce the number....

I dunno. I had it set as 3 or something.

I was managing it via promotions. New user goes into Registered users. After 3 posts, he becomes an Authorised Member - moderation gets disabled for him. Then after 7 more posts, he becomes an Active Member and can set avatar/signature etc.

So may be if moderated posts value was high, it wasn't getting into effect?

Hmm OK made changes and will test again at a slow time tomorrow, when bored again

I can't find a way to turn off "quotes" notification via email.

Can we get 'usercp' as a main button, instead of that smaller text? :/

No, because then it breaks ajax and the wrong button stays selected.

Please remove the Quote notifications. Its frustrating as we get quoted so many times. Mentions is OK, so that if someone wants a particular user's attention then he can mention him and he will get notified, but notification for quote is too much notifications.
Also any progress on Links in the notification of mentions and quotes ??

Stopped all email related to quotes and mentions.

And no, the chaps haven't responded yet, let me do some tinkering, wish I actually knew PHP instead of hacking things up like a chainsaw murderer

The hyperlinks works now on Quote and mention notification page. In all themes.
Thanks Raaabo.

Its just that in dark theme color of normal texts and hyperlinks are the same. I guess the dark theme needs that chainsaw.

Yes Indeed. Hyperlinks are working now for quotes and mentions, in 6.5 theme its working perfectly.

Also any chance to remove Quote notifications, as I mentioned earlier they are spamming the notification dropdown.

Make links blue and also make text box lighter
Edit: also if you can also make the background of pole to a different shade/colour it would be better

Spamming ? How exactly it is spamming ?

It is indeed very useful for members who don't have the time to go through all unread subscribed threads to check if it needs their attention or not.

dashing.sujay said:

It is indeed very useful for members who don't have the time to go through all unread subscribed threads to check if it needs their attention or not.

Well for me its always around 4-5 notifications and as I am used to the old days. I always think of notifications as PMs and other important things. Thats why it feels like spamming to me, maybe its useful to others. Also I never forced anyone to do this, I am just asking if there is a chance for modifications, maybe using settings in CP. That would also work for me.

no [MENTION=73844]gameranand[/MENTION] doesn't look like it can be removed for select users.

Yeah, the quick reply one. Make it a shade lighter than the rest of the page ?

what is the use of groups? not needed Imo

Maybe an off topic group would be better than a thread

Didn't even know TDF have groups. Or was it started recently?

Anyway, I couldn't find the option to post messages in the groups I joined so far. Will it need to be enabled too?

are you guys sure it is a good idea? cause it has just cons afaik

Let's try it, if it's kaka, we'll just disable and delete groups again, no sweat.

2. In dark theme, the text in buttons like Post reply etc are unreadable sometime, they are just too glossy. Also button onfocus color should be changed.

3. In dark theme, groups section. The texts in new groups and categories panel on the right side of the page is not readable

4. In dark theme, below Quick reply box there is a panel for Previous thread and Next thread. The text color is too light and color change on focus should be changed

Oh yeah. They are gone now. Thanks guys. BTW I don't think it's a good idea to show these ads to the visitors. I wouldn't keep browsing a forum which shows a pop up ad on every page.

if possible, an option to delete polls from a thread

Found a bug. Here's how to recreate it.
1. In the reply box enter a url inside square brackets like this [*www.google.co.in/]. Clicking on the url will give a 404 since the ']' is parsed as the url.
2. Post the reply and then edit and remove the brackets. Click save.
Now even though the link appears without the brackets clicking on the link will still take you to the link with the closing bracket. Trying to edit the url using the url tag will produce atrocities afterwards.

why am i getting notifications for quotes and mentions that i create??

i should be recieving notifications for these only when someone else mentions/quotes me..

Ok, I get it. Notifications for post likes and post quotes (and at times mentions)
It was cool on first few days. Can I have a "Mark all read" button/link there? No, not on the notifications page rather under "Notifications" menu.

SaiyanGoku said:

This is not a solution. I don't think bumping is a problem, as long as the bump is genuine. That means no spam and no post to increase post counts.
Threads should be closed only if
1. it have served the purpose (like answer to original query is answered)
2. requested by OP itself
3. thread was posted in wrong section
4. thread became controversial and/or a spammer's nest
5. threads which becomes outdated on the discretion of mods

You can't just lock every thread based on certain time criteria. What if OP still get relevant info if someone answers even after 2 yrs.

What if the OP's query was never answered, but someone wants to answer even after 2 yrs, so that when someone else reaches to the thread, he gets the answer given by the person who bumped it?

Now that we have few company reps around the forum, its best if there's a proper set of regulations that all company reps needs to follow. Editors and moderators can form a draft set of rules based on their experience, but its required to keep them in line and to ensure that no wrongful information is passed on and then they can get away by ditching their profile and making another one- or deny having one.

Can we have Re-captcha to avoid spamming bots??

reset the minimum posts required for the newer joinee. a lot of old threads are getting bumped.

I also think that at least the first or first two posts should be moderated, given the no of spam which has increased now a days.

I am not sure if everyone is facing such a problem, but the "parse URL" and the "get page title from external links" options don't work for me. When I post, URLs appear as normal text and I have to click edit then save for it to turn into a hyperlink. Still, the page titles are not obtained. I have to manually obtain the heading of the page and paste it in the post and then attach a URL to it.

Please check and/or fix.

@Raaabo once fixed that. It only works for some.

It would be great if OP can mark thread as SOLVED. What say?
Plus OP should also have permissions to lock thread after 'SOLVED'

amjath said:

This won't work. Decaptchas are available easily. Spam bots uses XRumor software to spam vB based forums, which has inbuilt decaptcha. Individual moderation is the only way to prevent bots.

Maybe it just broke.

hm.. and just as i was getting settled in with all the likes i had got

Bring back thinkdigit.com!!! :evil:

Also some avatars broke..

The new site lot cleaner and better to browse. But I have a small niggle:

Why are we redirected to a custom login page when we click login on vBulletin. It was much better like earlier when we had the username and password box right on the top of the page if we weren't logged in.

Now after logging in we are redirected to the points page after which one has to select forum again to start browsing.

> @Raaabo Can you confirm that digit forum was down at ~2:15 PM? At that time neither Firefox nor IE was able to open digit.in but I was able to browse the forum from my cell phone from UC Browser.

~~[I'm entering newline here but its merging both line itself] > The BB toolbar is missing.~~ It was because of NoScript. As the domain changed, digit.in wasn't in whitelist.

^^ wow. Digit.in fits perfectly.
You guys even can say forums sections like "Digit.in gaming", "Digit.in technology", "Digit.in gadgets" etc.., :mrgreen:

@Raaabo - Also fix the URL to retrieve the title of the "sharing content", along migrating the site.

[MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION] thx will delete and add in tapatalk

The brand name is Digit, and as I've said before I diluted it by making the URL into a logo, now we're headed back in the right direction. Whether online, magazine or apps, Digit is the community we all belong to and enjoy.

[MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION]
Whatever you say is correct...
But, still I think most of the members preferred the old name...
You could have asked us about our opinion through a poll before the big change, you know... Kinda like giving the old TDF a fighting chance!!!

At least that poll would have been more useful than the usually ridiculous polls that were the norm at the thinkdigit homepage!!!

actually it is Digit from the start iirc raaabo did not get the Digit domain so he renamed it to thinkdigit which he forever regretted until now :razz:

the apps or games part of the site could do with a deals section

Not everything is up for a vote

It was important to reduce the confusion and difference between Thinkdigit and digit. If its one brand, why have two logos and identities.

Digit is the brand we all love, and what makes us special? We're Indian, for Indians and by Indians. Thus the .in was also important to us.

Thinkdigit was just a URL, not anything special. Nothing has really changed - except that you have to get used to typing a few less letters... And that too shall pass in a short time.

Can we please have the old vbulletin login back.

Ok, I've had enough of this glam and glitz...lets come to Usability.

<there were some harsh comments here>

1. Forum log-in : From digit.in I need to
1.1. click on “Forum” link which opens a new page.
1.2. Here I need to click on 'login' link
1.3. Login page opens, enter my credentials and press enter
1.4. Rather being taken to Forum page I'm taken to a page which tells me the search query isn't found!!! What search query.
a) At this moment the URL is showing my emailid and userid in cleartext. No need of encryption, eh?
1.5. Here I've to click on “Forum” again and now it takes me to forum in a new window (?)
1.6. Why do I have to go through all these troubles to access forum? Do you personally find this flow very useful and easy for the end users?

2. Logout link :
2.1. Do a “today's posts” from forum home page
2.2. No more logout link from on the search result page. To logout either I've to go to forum home page or the page opened in 1.4
2.3. WHY?

At this moment these two things are bothering me very much. I'll post more if I find more.

+1 to this... Is anyone listening??? [MENTION=1]Raaabo[/MENTION]???

The funny thing is that all of this is happening on a forum that belongs to a technology magazine; a magazine that prides itself on being one of the top technology magazines of the country...
If you guys cannot keep your forum running in a proper way, it puts you guys in bad rapport in our eyes and, if I am to go to an extreme, it even puts question marks on the credibility of your articles and reviews...
Surely someone who has the authority to rate a particular software or hardware after testing them thoroughly would be able to get a mere forum running in proper order... If it was one or two days, then it would have been okay but this issues are dragging on and on!!!
Something needs to be done and fast and you guys must be knowing it very well considering the dwindling popularity of your magazine!!!

@Mods
Take all of my two cents in a constructive criticism sort of way... If my points are not valid, point them out so that I can know where I am wrong!!!

I don't know any of the Login related issues.
I always open this: digit.in/forum/usercp.php And enter the credentials there.
Never had any problem ever. Even before it was thinkdigit. :/

But I am waiting for the bug to fix where I can't change forum password from within settings.

yes, but it must be frustrating for those not being able to login, and unable to know how to do it without logging in first

H

This is quite classic when it comes to forum-mainsite integration. My far off guess would be that Digit is probably using a third party plugin/service to link the login credentials of forum users to the ones in their main site database and that specific plugin might support a login/logout procedure from the main site only.

p.s. there's a lot more to authentication rather than just setting a cookie to true and $_SESSION variables

that's not constructive criticism, the most I could assimilate from that is forum is not running properly. sure. we just got a huge fix and some streamlining, you complaining when they are fixing it? there are bound to be speedbumps when something new comes along. rest is a rant. give specific points on what can be improved on.

^^Specific points can be found all over this thread... Try reading it from the start...

+1 this post basically sums up my problems. If we login through site it shows as our email id etc and gives us query not found and TDF is often on hackers list

H

Just so it is clear, the times you don't see your login data on the URL, it is still sent as plain text. The difference is in POST/GET and it is just data abstraction; not encryption.

1.1 from digit.in click on login
1.2 click on fourth option after fb, twitter and g+ its a chat icon
1.3 enter forum id and forum password
1.4 click on forum button from site

was how I was doing it

now at second step itself,

sorry if posts sounded strongly worded, it escalated from rhitwicks post I think... let's just focus on the issues at hand

which is an easier and more familiar way to login

i haven't have had any login issues, but none(at least the old ones, haven't found any new) of the attachments are accessible.

why am i not able to login to digit using firefox? anybody else facing the problem? now using chrome to browse.

^ Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I am using Firefox. And didn't face any disconnections whatsoever while browsing whole evening today.
But many people at IRC and even forum now says they are facing "forum down". Something maybe wrong.

Had problem with Chrome, few minutes back. Restarted the system, and now it's working fine.

Hey can Thank become Thanks

I cannot access the site from mobile for some reason recently. It just throw a blank white page. Digit: Technology Advice, Product Reviews, Latest News, Free Downloads works fine though it is just the forum.

All these are probably symptoms of ongoing finetuning. Tapatalk was throwing error earlier but now fine.

Not working on Firefox for me too.
Confirmed on 2 different machines.

Works fine on Firefox for me...

As for the login, we're working on it.

I'll admit everything was a tad rushed to meet the 13th anniversary (1st June) deadline, so there are a few bugs between forum and site SSO to be fixed, but they will all get addressed eventually.

Yes we're bridging vbulletin (which I manage) with a custom-built CMS (that another team built and manages), with a third party mod (open source and not well supported)... problems will arise and take a little time to solve.

As for the rants, we're writers who explain things, not PHP coders who build sites and CMSes. If everyone could code, write, and yes, even rant, the world would be a boring place indeed...

testing attachments

old ones work

ya. works on firefox now. it was not working yesturday. when i enter login id and password, it reverts to the same page itself.

i too am getting an error in login. after i provide my username and password, it opens a page that says -

We have million pages but not that one

Thanks for noticing-we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon. Did you try searching? Enter a keyword(s) in the search field above Or, try the links on right hand side."

Flash said:

's', 'S' and 's with caps lock on' are three completely different things. They are all distinguished keystrokes for the computers. Having caps on doesn't make 's' appear as 'S' to the computer. They all have different VK_KEY codes. So even when you have caps on and you press Ctrl + S it's actually Ctrl + s. There is only one way of sending Ctrl + S and thats to hold Shift key alongside.

Digit should organize official online gaming competitions, be it Dota 2 /CS or whatever..(even though I dont play both)
I know hsr is trying hard to organize one but im saying, the magazine itself should help advertise this for other people not exclusively for forum members..
Digit is the most recognized tech mag in India and I think actually advertising a competition on the mag will attract more members for the forum as well as for the competition

Sometimes, people post queries not related to Phones and tablets on the Buying Advice sub-forum. So should these sub-forums be merged? Mobiles and Tablets & Buying Advice.

when I reply to a thread, and its the latest one to get a reply. that thread gets shown in the last post column.

so you have to exclude marking it as unread if the same user is the one who gave the last reply.

Sometime around Raaabo introduced an official dark theme, but it is half baked and too dark. Hope your's theme can replace it.

Most people should know how to change forum skins and all the options of User CP. Not my problem if you don't like to mess around and browse the options available to you.

I think this has been the case since 2010 or 11? Advertisements to non-members/guests. "No advertisement" forum skin to members.

Earlier the "no advertisement" skin was forced onto the users. As soon as somebody used to login, he used to see zero advertisements as the forum style was "forced" and the user could never change. Then members demanded different "forum skins" which automatically meant "forcing of forum style" to be disabled as people wanted options. I guess you can figure out where the locha is. You can't have everything.

yeah true i agree that i should have tinkered with options more and its a good thing that members have options.. but i was talking from a new user/guest perspective.. ads are fine as they are on every website so people are used to it and most of use adblock anyway

that type of header might be even good for the main website but for a forum it is completely off place.. at least that's what i feel, just a feedback from my side

gta0gagan said:
lol prvsly the member theme was available to even non members.......that way u could bypass ads with one click.............

yes, exactly. After we had upgraded to vBulletin 4, I had forgotten to remove that option for Guests. And guess what? No one really bothered to change.

lol, just seen the header for the first time.

Even I'm glad that we can disable it. :mrgreen:

Yup. I seen the header for the first time too after abracadabra posted about it and realized the penalty which non members pay for being non members :lol:

Btw, I echo the need to fix Tatatalk.

I didn't update my tapatalk or anything. It just stopped working altogether.

Tapatalk looks botched.

Lol, people getting so fed up with Tapatalk error, that they created a Dedicated thread for this.
Still people keeps on posting in this generic thread.

I myself am fed up of this error. Have to use browser on phone or tab instead of the app. And it sucks. Looks like no body from digit team cares enough. I think we just shouldn't bother being active on the forum. TDF have turned into FB, where people rant for a few days, but since they can't do anything, learn to deal with it.

Sigh. -_-

Fixed.

^^ Firefox 33.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I cleared the cache y'day just before starting my session of posts. I login through the forum(Laspass logs me in as soon as any forum page opens). Shall try another browser and report back soon

Maybe it has anything to do with directly opening 6/7 forum threads from my userCP. I've seen it happens mostly when I have more threads together?

I cannot upload picture for my avatar

Why the hell am I logged out every other 5 mins ? This never happened on my laptop, but happening on friends laptop.

I'm certain this logout thing is whenever I open multiple tabs and after browsing(or replying) in 1 thread when I reply to the other one I have to re-login. No issues when single tab.

Yes right, on the same tab opening or open in one tab doesn't affect. If you save password in browser then you won't find this problem

Even Chromium 38.0.2125.111 on Ubuntu 14.04 renders in the exact same way. Anyone else facing this problem?

What's New *www.digit.in/forum/search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

2. Database error when posting a new thread
3. Not receiving emails about private messaging.

Please confirm that these errors are now fixed.

Dunno about that, but got a flood of emails today, probably in the queue from sometime about 23rd of Nov.

Yup emails that were stuck in queue would also be received.

The logout thing seems to have been fixed. Haven't logged out this session(Yup I have multiple tabs of TDF open). On Firefox 33.1.1(win 8.1)

Well, I'm getting logged out frequently in Chrome/win 7.

And to report this, I came to this thread to post. But you know what, that time the logout counter was just 2, and just to post here, it increased to 5. I logged in, tried to post, logged out, same , same. Ultimately I had to click "remember me", then I was able to post. Ridiculous.

Logout issue still persists sadly. Getting logged out every once a while(even if I browse this forum multi tabbed or not).

Fix the log out problem asap mods.

^^ click on 'remember me' should solve the problem temporarily.

I usually login through the userCP page. (/forum/usercp.php)

Whenever I login there now I'm stuck in a infinite loop of login. Not sure why this is happening.

PS: posting via Tapatalk

Everytime I login I have to select remember in order to login otherwise it logouts just like that.

Try pressing Ctrl + F5 (refresh ignoring cache) when you get that blank page. Worked for me for some other site. Also try using the forum on some other browser.

it's working in firefox but not in chrome. Strange

Come to IRC today night (around 9 PM) and we shall talk. Link: freenode Web IRC (qwebirc)

I am completely sane. Consider paying for a srink if you want me to get tested for looniness (new word that i just invented derived from the slang loony-bin).
anyways, see you at IRC tonight at 9 PM. or come DOTA.

After days of 0 email from the forum, its not cute to receive 200 emails at a time to make up.

Better to jsut make a separate mail account for various accounts. I do the same and it's rather good in situations like these

or just disable email notifications.

New issues emerge -

> On this page I can't navigate to the third page. It redirects to page 2.

> Posts made on same thread one after another by same user aren't getting merged. I made three posts on the above mentioned link and they all got posted as separate posts. The last post created the page 3 but it doesn't open.

^ change the number of posts per page in usecp.

create a filter in gmail to auto archive and attach a label to such mails..

Then no point of recieving such email.

I am receiving too many emails about mentions. I cannot find any setting to disable them. Please fix this.

My Profile Image and Avatar Image is not shown clearly and not saving at all. What could be the problem?

Time to change the thread title to "2015 - New TDF Suggestions"

:mrgreen:

I got it yesterday.

dear admin / editor,

whot happen to digit mag link on ur website ??? cant locate it ... its almost 11 feb & the mag is not in market & also on website ... is it closing ??? plz dont ...

thanx

That I believe is the biggest irony of digit.in site. That it's the most important link to digit mag is given the least priority. Hover on the triple dot (...) on the black bar on top.
There you will have the links to "Buy Current Issue" and "Buy Previous Issue".

I am not sure if anyone else if facing this, but I am not able to view youtube videos embedded with the [YOUTUBE] tags.

Example post:

Post source:

*i.imgur.com/XUOA8K5.jpg

As you can see, the post does not show the videos even though the source contains [YOUTUBE] tags. I have been observing this for many other posts as well.

Please advise.

They're working fine here(I tried viewing the post which you shared and all the videos embedded players loaded fine. Using Firefox 35.0.1 in Ubuntu 14.10).

I blame the Add-ons. Like Ad blocker. [MENTION=5007]DeSmOnD dAvId[/MENTION]: Try to disable add-ons and then see.

Works fine with AdBlocker too.

Checking the post on my work machine. It appears to be working over here.

Therefore the problem is only with my machine at home.

I don't think its adblockers though since I use Adblock Edge at work.

Avatar Pics not working in Google Chrome...

Am also experiencing this, sometimes.
I can able to view your witcher 3 logo as your avatar, but mine's not appearing for me - maybe you can see mine.

I'm on Firefox and I can't see your avatar too.

Ctrl + F5 also didn't work.

Does no one face this? Firefox 36 on Windows 8.1 (and Firefox 36 on Ubuntu 14.04). Not tried on Chrome. The page has been zoomed out to incorporate greater detail.

On first look it seems there's some redering problem with Firefox, but I re-installed Windows (because of an irrelevant issue) and this still persists. It was there on Firefox 35 too. I can't imagine why is this happening to me.

Never had this issue in Firefox 35 don't have the problem now(Firefox 36). Probably a one off issue. Try cleaning the cache and cookies.

The thing is, it also happens on a dual booted Linux Mint 17.1 (both Firefox 36 and Chromium 40). I am clueless.

Hmm. This is getting frustrating.

Seems your rendering issues are with Chrome only. Why not try it with Firefox once?

Try asking on Mint forums or Google groups, as it doesn't appears to be a problem on our side. I too, re-installed Windows, and for the purpose of testing performance issues I disabled all extra plugins and signed out of my account on Chrome. The result was a snappy Chrome. So try running TDF on a vanilla installation of Chrome. Do NOT sign into your account. Sometimes, conflicting plugins, extensions and add-ons cause unnecessary issues.

Else this seems like an app conflict or something similar.

For some reason now it renders correctly on Firefox but not in Chromium. Tells me something is wrong on my side itself. Will start a new thread in the appropriate section in needed.

^^ There you go. Reinstalling Chromium or try Google Chrome if you still don't want to switch over to Firefox.

Hmm, should we update to Vbulletin 5?

Sure, why not

+1 to vBulletin 5

They did sent an apology email. It will be delayed by one week atleast. It is for that reason that they gifted us the ebook version for the meanwhile.
Atleast they did that.

[MENTION=77264]Vyom[/MENTION] That mail was in my junk folder,well at-least could give us the specific reason for the delay.

The redirect when posting or searching is so annoying. :\

quote selected text !

and like please..

Probably so that bots can't spam.

Got 60 emails today. Why does this email problem keep cropping up ?

Is this thread still relevent in 2015?

I want to suggest adding support for embedding webm videos.

Since imgur started support for converting gifs to video, I think it would be better if there were support to share the same on the forum without having to add it as a link.

Indentations are NOT working.
Indentation 1 Test
Indentation 2 Test
Indentation 3 test.

fix the search and image uploading pls, thats like the basic thing in forums lol

Yup, search feature not working since long time now.

Need to add a feature that extract twitter links and show in the post
Full screen button in youtube videos not working
Allow BB code,smileys,hyperlinks in signature

Need to add features like AMD Expert or CPU Expert Badges like in Toms Hardware Forum here also In TDF. It would be good and encouraging for existing as well as new members to participate and help other members as they arrive or might need help. Just my little suggestion...

Allow changing of usernames atleast 3 times a month

The above two suggestions are pretty good... but changing usernames 3 times a month? Why in the .. anyone would want to change username each month, let aside 3 times a month??

Vyom said:

This feature is available in other forums so I'm asking this feature. I'm thinking of changing my username in TDF for a long time

You can request any mod to change your username. This is not rare for users at digit to change there username.
Report this post or PM me and request for a name change. Someone will take care of it.

New set of smiley(set)s?
I guess, the smileys which we have now is same as from the start..

Mods, I suggest all threads need to be approved before posting (for a few weeks) even for chit-chat section. Spamming has increased a lot.

Also IP ban *www.digit.in/forum/members/319908.html *www.digit.in/forum/members/319907.html

for spamming too much.

^ I saw that vaseekaran special thread, a year before. Seems the spammer strikes again!

the spams are increasing by the minute here... please put in a feature to moderate first 5 posts of a new user into immediate effect.

the forum is getting flooded with this sh!t.

Yeah..pls make approval necessary even in chit chat section..fed up of this spammer..-__-.

I guess, mods already monitor first 5 or 10 posts of a new user. Atleast it was happened to me, when i joined. Don't know whether the process is still there or not!

It seems to have been removed. Otherwise it would not be possible to have the very first post be a blatant spam.

-removed image-

Image removed as it had spam link/phone. Admins are here

First 5 posts are still moderated. To be very honest, spams have decreased over the time.

Don't know how the hell the posts got approved.
