Yeah... To me, right now, the SMF editor is okay. It's not very good at importing data but really, most people wouldn't bother with that anyway. (I didn't even know if could be done.)
Totally off-topic but I can't bother to find the IE topic.
So, you know what I spent my day on...? IE6 compatibility :lol:
It's always a bitch... First you launch IE6 and notice something's broken and it's easy to fix. So you fix it. Then you're happy, but then you go to another page and something else's broken... Might as well fix it too. Only, it doesn't cooperate this time. And you end up wasting time rewriting the menu code to add an output buffer (!!) for IE6 and delete all whitespace, and then you notice that it'll only work on list tags that have no ul child... And there's no way to fix these... And then you say, why the hell did I waste my time on this shit to begin with?!
So I'm tempted (once again) to go back to the original version that sucked big time (adding vertical gaps between list items in the admin menu), and not bother. I don't know. Problem is, months ago it used to work (only 1-pixel vertical gap), now it's like 10 pixels... :-/

rev 1004
(11 files +1, 144kb) (only because of the file move.)
+ Moved all templating code from Subs and Load to a new file, Subs-Template.php. I wish I would have done it before I wrote the skeleton system... New file is 50KB+ and as a result, Subs.php is now less than 100KB and Load.php is not far away. Way better for readability. (Subs.php, Load.php, Subs-Template.php)
* Admins know better, so I got rid of the $txt['new'] notification in the admin area and replaced it directly with the error count. (Subs.php)
! Fixed pre-type tags (code/php) from breaking post layout when showing long lines. This was due to not specifying table-layout:fixed on posts, silly me. (sections.css)
! Another benefit of this change is that I was able to get rid of the max-width on code tags. (index.css)
! Fixed backgrounds in message index when topics have sticky/locked/etc icons. Best I can do without a heavier rewrite. (sections.css)
! Fixed gradient filter not showing up for IE8 and IE9 and sub-menus being broken in IE7. I have no idea why it fails when float is to none in IE8 and IE9, and when float is set to right in IE6 and IE7... Well, that's IE isn't it. Why should IE9 be any better. (index.ie*.css)
* Recent post list doesn't need 2-pixel separators between user name and message. Just one is enough. (sections.css)
* Tweaked margins in top menu notifications. (index.css)
* Updated mini-logo with the new logo. Kept the same Helvetica-based font for now... (minilogo.png, minilogow.png)
* Spacinazi. (Subs-PrettyUrls.php)

So....? :^^;:
If I remove the max-width from the css, Opera will fail too. It doesn't fail in SMF AFAIK so maybe it's due to something else (i.e. not the code tag styling itself), like the use of display:table-cell or some other esoteric CSS...
Fixed.
table-layout: fixed was all I needed... In #forumposts .wrc, FFS. I'll never properly understand the logics of table layouts but at least it's done -- and what led me to the right one was the fact that it was broken in Opera as well when I remove the max-width. Now I don't need the freaking max-width anymore, meaning I'm not tied to a certain width. All is good!

Pete, bed time and I haven't found a suitable way to fix this. Can anyone with svn read access give a look into this post under IE8? Either run it from XP if you have it, or Win7 -> run IE9, F12, choose IE8 browser mode.
Note: the bug doesn't happen in IE6/7 but user boxes are completely broken in them... Meh.
Just quote this post and copy the contents after the hr tag below. The text is random content. It's broken in multiple places (entire post overflowing on the right, code tags having a fixed height...)

rev 1003
(12 files, 12kb)
! Fixed SMF bug: fixed position of the #new anchor on topics where at least one message is unapproved. (Display.php)
! create_button() was missing a non-breakable space after the actual button when button captions is enabled. (Subs.php)
* Various micro-optimizations, mostly on the display query string and on substr($string, 0, 1) (there's really no reason not to use $string[0] as it's 3 times faster, except in special cases like using these as offsets for array addition -- PHP tends to crash on that. Didn't optimize the lesser called functions. Also, strpos() is faster than substr() on very short strings. (Display.php, Class-DB.php, Class-DBPackages.php, Class-Editor.php, Aeva-Foxy.php, Aeva-Subs-Vital.php, PersonalMessage.php, Profile-Modify.php, Profile-View.php, Subs-Admin.php, SSI.php)

Fixed, BTW... Replaced $topicinfo['num_replies'] with $context['total_num_replies'] - 1, basically. Tried with various situations and it seems to always work.
Now for the IE bug.
Oh, and micro-optimizing more code, as always...

« on September 16th, 2011, 10:10 PM »Well..the image you made doesn't remind me, at least, of a wedge or how a wedge works.
Just see, once again, the empty space as a wedge...
I tried to make a compromise between the two versions that puts the emphasis on the empty space, see below. But my guts tell me that it won't be seen as an improvement. People will mention how the blue triangle now looks like a tear, and others will say it's just a drop of water dripping from the amphora that the brown triangle is, and two clans will form, and I'll go crazy... :lol:
Its looks more like two triangles being cut in 2/3 and 1/3. So no, it doesn't give me anything.Perhaps two slim triangles (or better yet 3) with the middle as the "wedge" would work better, I don't know. The font is ok, I guess, nothing to write home about, and certainly a bit thin IMHO.
But, many logos use just some abstract image that doesn't particulary say anything. Case in mind, the Envato "leaf"/"fruit" (?)
I lean more towards symbols bearing some meaning in relationship to the product(and for all I know the envato might even do just that, at some more hidden level :D )
EDIT: something funky about img tag here, it won't place itself on a new line, had to place br before and after.
