The Pub / Re: Bloc Madness
« on April 20th, 2012, 05:04 AM »
I'd like to just say one thing about Bloc closing his site unexpectedly to paying members. That was a low blow Bloc. I paid for a one year subscription last September to have access to ALL paid themes for one year. If you wanted to quit, I don't have a problem with that. I do have a problem with you closing your site with no warning and not giving people ample time to download the themes they have paid for. You should have set a site up where the themes were available to every paid member until their subscription expires. You don't have to support them. You don't have to make new ones. But you should make them available to people that paid you with their hard earned money. Or refund their subscriptions based upon the amount of time they used their subscription until you pulled the rug out from under them. I feel like you picked my pocket while I wasn't looking.

The Pub / Re: Menu hover concerns

OK, since you mentioned other browsers, I am using Firefox 5.0.1 and there is a noticeable delay. 1-2 seconds but Firefox gives me the same delay when trying to scroll a page with the scroll wheel on the mouse or even typing. My display of characters being typed will lag behind a few seconds so this might be a Firefox issue. There doesn't seem to be a delay using Chrome or Safari. And the longer I use Firefox the worse it gets until I usually close it and re-open it and it's better...for a while anyway.

But since I was checking I think I realized what I really don't like about them is in the admin panel there are two menus and if the mouse hovers over the top one and pops open you cant get to the bottom one. And with the Firefox delay I usually end up moving the mouse to a blank area and clicking which forces the open menu to close. If there wasn't one menu directly above the other in the admin panel I probably would never have noticed such a thing.

See attached, if the mouse moves over the admin menu I can get to the menus underneath it. Maybe I just need to slow down so the mouse doesn't get away from me and move over the wrong menu. :lol:

Thanks for the menu explanation. My only problem with the SMF menus is that it does not go away immediately when you move the mouse away. It stays there. Blocking access to where you really want to go. For example, if I move my mouse across a menu on the way to the menu I really want to get to, the first one pops open and when I get the mouse to the menu I want to open it won't open because the other one is still open. Drives me crazy.

It's been a pet peeve of mine for some time. I do use a Mac though. Maybe it doesn't do it with Windows. Or maybe I'm just stubborn in that I want to have to click it for it to pop open. I'll keep an open mind about it though. :eheh:

Unlike SMF's, which actually has no hover time at all because it's purely CSS driven, I believe there's a fraction of a second in Wedge's.
Cool!  :cool:

Any chance to change the amount of hover time before the menu appears? SMFs menus have always driven me crazy when they drop down just by moving the mouse close to it and then it's in the way of what you really wanted to do. A short delay would be a plus.

Development blog / Re: Now with 97% more visuals!

Very nice on both the forum and the admin panel. I especially like the way the admin panel is organized. Everything right in front of you without having to click through multiple menus.

Agreed. Best to get to the root of the problem in the new software. But even that band-aid would improve the useability of that particular function.

I do agree about where the settings are for changing the theme is too hard to find. I've often wondered why "Look & Layout" wasn't in the Profile menu in the first place. I think that would be a big improvment if it were added there.

I can confirm that and Stop Spammer is working as well.  It may have been something in my forum, but I did have to make one manual edit to get httpBL to install. It was one line in /Sources/managepermissions.php  The installer could not find
Code: [Select]
'view_stats' => array(false, 'general', 'view_basic_info'),
, but upon looking at the file, it was there.
Must have been because of another mod. I didn't have to edit anything to get it to install.

Give this a try Nao. I have successfully recovered data from a drive Windows wouldn't touch with this program.
