Quillz Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It used to be that if you quoted someone, in addition to their display name, it would also display the time of the post. It seems that with 2.3.x, it's been simplified to just the display name. Any reason for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually useful if you needed to quickly reference a single post.Edit: Wait, it's appeared again... And now it's gone again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It was a bug. It's already fixed in our next build of 2.3.0. :)Remember, we apply very early betas here to get feedback and find the little bugs (like this) that us developers just don't notice.

backdream Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Online indicator seems also go away, and the sex icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Online indicator is fixed as well. I'll look into the gender icon. Thanks for pointing out. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCWT Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It would be nice to add gender icon to topic view under avatar, member info instead of having to click on the member name. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Gender icon added back to where it was before.The entire reason for the drop down was so that we didn't clutter the interface more than it is now. If we add gender icon there, we should add email link, and find new posts link, and so on. We'll leave it in the drop down until the skin is redesigned properly in the next major build. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 How bout a offline image as it currently is in the indicator (Greyed out), and if they are online, show pink or blue depending on gender, if none is set, just have the orangey yellow one.

Mert Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 I wonder why a lot of thing gone in topic view in this version :unsure: In the announcement, I see there's nothing with topic view but all bugs are in there :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 It has to do with the performance enhancements. We centralized the function that generates the data used in those menus (which is used in Calendar, Messenger, Topic View, profiles, etc.), but when we did so there were these two minor bugs. The benefits, however, are that we don't have to load profile.php, skin_profile.php, and lang_profile.php everytime you view a topic - resulting in a performance boost.The quote thing was a bug from a bug fix. It's been fixed already though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mert Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Does it mean, the new system caches the topic view for future use :unsure: (If it doesn't load them everytime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 No....It means that less files are loaded to display a topic than in 2.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigs Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 No....It means that less files are loaded to display a topic than in 2.2.So boards will run faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have custom profile field for gender but it is shown in 2 different areas... a pain to get them synched. Well a gender icon isn't a link anyway so....So boards will run faster?should be faster.

bfarber Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Viewing profiles, you do still of course. But why should we need to load profile.php, skin_profile.php, and lang_profile.php when viewing a topic?The functions we were using, we've moved to ipsclass so they are available to all files that need them.As for performance - each class you load uses up memory. i.e. a profile uses about 1MB roughly. skin_profile uses about the same. lang_profile is roughly 20kb of memory. 2.2 MB of memory used that's not needed? Each time you load a profile? That is a decent amount of memory. Beyond that, to instantiate a class does take time (even if it's not a whole lot) - multiply that by 100 viewers looking at a profile and it adds up quickly.We've been doing a lot of profiling lately, and watching memory usage and execution times using debug tools and internal debug output, and have found quite a few areas we've been able to make improvements on. Some will have to wait until 3.x because they require more extensive code changes, but this was one example that we added to 2.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestingSomething Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 So boards will run faster?Editor has always been loading slow. I hope something has made THAT load better. It seems to here, but that may just be this particular site, not software changes. Or I may just be thinking it is loading faster.Also profiles have been slow loading and stills eem to be. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Awesome Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 When did trackback come about?I just noticed it on another board a week ago. And they've been running IPB for about a month or so. Although what's really funny is, is that I've been on some Aquatic IPB forums and they've been using the newer versions of IPB for the last 1.5 years. And I had seen the little arrow but never made a peep about it. Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TestingSomething Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I know trackbacks were there at least since 2.0. But I absolutely never use them. I don't really see much point. I guess they are there if someone wants to quickly go and quote that post, but not the one where it is currently quoted in going along with it?A lot of IPB features people don't even notice. There ahve been topics before discussing a lot of hidden features here and there. They should have a hidden feature tell the meaning of life.

...paul Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I use the "trackback" a lot. It can be really useful to see the context something was posted in, makes much more sense sometimes. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
