Post Valentines Day Updates! (site width, edits, etc) Quote
Greeting everyone! Are you enjoying your Valentines/SingleAwareness/endless nondescript workday?

We have a few updates for you today Razz
Here is a summary for you TL:DR folks, our resident Matrix Angel UltCombo will follow with his signature details:
  • The side width is now dynamic and will automatically react to your screen resolution or browser window size
  • Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported. Sorry, Elec!
  • You can edit your posts again! There is a new edit reason field we ask you to fill out if you do Smile
  • Longer text fields are now easier to enlarge
  • Styled scrollbars on Chrome
As with the previous changes, the biggest ones were done in the background. You can be sure we are working to help improve the site for you all!

Kind regards,
Sat

Hello guys, here are the details and change notes for this update batch.

New features

New layout

New fluid layout which better adapts to your screen size:

- Desktops with < 1280px wide resolutions, as well as all mobile devices (any resolution), will have a full width fluid display. Notification boxes will appear near the "new private message" box's place.

- Desktops >=1280px wide resolutions will retain a relatively similar layout, with the difference that it will also expand (keeping some horizontal white space for notification boxes) to better fit your resolution.

Details
More specifically, the >=1280px layout will keep some white space in the left and right of the site layout (~230px wide) for the notification boxes and possible future features to come. Then the layout extends to fill the remaining space in the center, up to 1200px wide layout. So, for instance:
  • For >= 1680px wide resolutions the site layout will be 1200px (the current explicit limit);

  • For exactly 1280px wide resolutions the site layout will be nearly identical to the old layout, that is:
    Code:
    1280px - (~230px margins * 2 + ~20px vertical scrollbar)
    Which leaves ~800px (the old fixed layout width) remaining space for the site layout.

  • Likewise, 1360px wide resolutions will extend a bit further (+80px = ~880px site layout), respecting the same margin and scrollbar rules.

  • Resolutions < 1280px wide will render the layout at full width (no horizontal margins), with the notification boxes stretched across the screen near the new PM boxes (between the main navigation and page contents). The minimum limit is 800px (corresponding to the old layout width), horizontal scrollbars will appear when the browser window cannot fit this minimum width.

  • NOTE: The above applies only to desktops. Mobile devices (phones/tablets/etc) independent of resolution will have a fixed rendering width of 800px, initially zoomed out (or in) to fit exactly the whole layout horizontally, from where you can pinch to zoom in areas of interest. There may be improvements in this part in the future, this is the first step towards a better mobile browser support.

We know most layout changes look weird at first, hence give it a few days to get used to before posting complaints about it please. Wink

Dropping old browsers support

IE6 support has been completely dropped as of this update, and IE7 will soon follow. This provides us with a much more clean and maintainable code base, faster development cycles and a faster site for everyone using modern browsers. We plan to add notices for ancient browser users to rise awareness in the next support bottomline cuts.

Edit timer removal

There is no longer a limit for editing posts, only to delete them.

Small improvements

- Textareas (long text input fields) now have a more visible gripper below them for resizing. JS-disabled browsers will keep the browser's default resizing.

- Chrome users should notice we have crafted newly styled scrollbars for them. This is merely a layer of styling on top of Chrome's native scrollbars, hence other non-webkit/blink browsers will still render their default scrollbars instead.

Bug fixes

Register form: prevent Chrome auto-filling username into email field.
Profile/register: remove various obsolete options.
Register: fixed some typos in the terms and conditions.
Quick reply: "Quick Reply" button is now tabbable (accessible through keyboard navigation).
Quick reply: message input is auto-focused when opening the quick reply form.
Quick reply: slideDown animation no longer uses hardcoded height, fixes the animation when slideDown, resize textarea, slideUp, slideDown.
Analytics: remove Quantserve, make GA async for faster DOMContentLoaded.
Error messages: more user-friendly messages for possibly break-in attempts.
Attachments: better unique physical name.
Attachments: png images uploaded from IE<=8 now "open separately" correctly in Chrome ( http://lah.li/28278 ).
Mod move attachments: only display move attachments option in editpost mode.

Several internal code overhauls, tools and workflow for maintainability and faster development.

Great improvements as far I can see now, thanks a lot In Love

[*] You can edit your posts again! There is a new edit reason field we ask you to fill out if you do Smile
I just edited this post trying to update the attachment (that's another new and interesting field appearing in edit mode). As a comment in the extra field I entered that the previous version of the attachment had 27 views. After editing I see neither the comment nor the 27 views. I probably didn't do it right, perhaps you could give in the near future a tutorial - e.g. in the rules and faq section?

Using my newfound powers, I can see that you have deleted the attachment then uploaded it again - the summary reads "tried to update attachment - old one was viewed 27 x".

I'm not sure what you've actually tried to do, though. You've deleted the attachment, at that point all the data associated with the attachment (e.g. download count) are no longer available publicly. Uploading a new attachment creates a new entry with 0 downloads, as you already know.

If you tried to "upload new version", you should select it from the disk as you'd do with a regular upload, but instead of clicking "add attachment" you'd click "upload new version" under the corresponding attachment which you want to update.

The edit summary currently serves to ease moderators' edit reviewing, we may add those summaries to the public view later. Razz

I really appreciate the dynamic expansion. I have semi-bad eyes and zoom everything way-the-fuck in. Before, there was a limit before it trailed of the side. That was a great idea.

Also, congrats on 7000 posts, Sat. Let's see you to 10K.

Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported.
Good! No form of IE should be, friends don't let friends use IE. Use that or Outlook and you might as well not even bother with an antivirus.

I haven't really tested with zooming, but seeing as most browsers' zoom functionality work by enlarging CSS pixels to take more device pixels, the effect of zooming is pretty much equivalent to using a lower resolution which was what we were aiming for. Razz

Yeah, the real problem is that there are people still using IE, and that's mostly because developers still support it. Nowadays IE<8 usage is about 0.3%, there is no point in supporting such ancient bugged versions. IE8 is the current baseline, having about 1-3% global browser usage, but support for it will be dropped sooner or later. Even IE>=9 has rendering bugs and new security exploits being discovered by the day, so indeed, the only time I'd open IE is to test new changes for the masochist IE people.

It is always on the priority list, but such intermittent issues seem to be more related to server resources/network/host, a little hard to track and fix.
