XenForo Bug Report

Not exactly a bug, but I noticed when using the Game On skin, page numbers for threads are nigh on illegible. Same for stats under your avatar in XFStop and XFStopFluid
-edit-
By the way, is there currently a way to change user titles?
-edit again-
Also, something kinda funky going on with avatar sizes.

A couple of things I noticed pretty quickly. This is all with the DARK THEME, Game On so I don't know if this affects other people in other profiles (though you could setup a normal test user to test these things out)
- Posts seem to be cropped in half. For example, if the posts above I see :

But like halfway into the post with a huge empty chunk in the middle instead of being cropped at the bottom.
- The forums seem to have forgotten to remember how to keep forum categories preferences again. For example, I don't want to see the Archives I press the collapse button. Next refresh, it's open again. What did we do to fix this last time?
- The mouseover to see the pages on threads as already requested is a great idea... furthermore on this theme, I cannot see beyond a red box what actual page it is. The rest is too dark or the text too subtle. A change would be good there as well.

Some forums do not allow me to go to the latest post directly. If I go to the subforum first and then access the thread, it works fine. So far this has occurred in the Ask Dave and Jay subforum and the Knights of Caerbannog subforum. the Games subforum was unaffected, as was this one, but I haven't tried others yet.
I see it now and I like the blue better than the red. However this theme one thing the red had... wide screen support. Which is really important! The forums are too skinny now and I have 6 inches on each side that isn't being used for anything.
I also still have that issue where

Here you go. I highlighted the issues for you.
1 - Sides are too small on main menu. Causes cropping issues in circles. Also "fellowships" are in black text, which doesn't allow you to read their names. I also CANNOT collapse any categories at ALL with this skin. I'm doomed to see the archives!
2 - Red is Game on and Blue is XenForce. One is edge to edge (wide) and the other is half page (too thin), if any options are available, an inbetween would be awesome. Both have the same issue where if the post is short, it crops the LIKE data (in green circles) in the middle of the post.
I remove people sigs and use the latest version of Firefox. In that print screen I run with no mods and I'm currently gonna check out how it runs with IEXPLODE.
That's a shame. I already worked without signatures because our rules for them were far too lax (too big, too many, too annoying) but removing them was a simple solution in the past. With this new forum if it were to be working as intended, it's clearly inferior. So the choice I'll have would be to either allow annoying sigs or deal with the broken cropping.
I can see the logic of that. Though I clearly appreciate the effort to put a dark theme right away so that our eyes aren't being raped by a sea of whiteness.
Let us know when you get to that on the TO DO list.
Glad you're here at least for a little while.Hi!

Just wanted to let Dave know that existing quote chains seem to be broken.

I did extensive testing before I ported everything over. This testing included several imports of vB information. What I did NOT notice when calling the tests a success was that it totally messed up the post counts/trophy points/etc.
I'm gonna be turning them off in a bit until I get them fixed.

I went to the Secret Santa thread, jumping to the end as it normally does. I then realized I wanted to read the page before, so clicked on page 5. I read through that page and then clicked the back button. The page errored with something like this
I returned again (page forward) and scrolled to the top, where I clicked on "next page", where I received the error message again (I assume it is the same. The one above is the one I copied). Then I refreshed the page and all was normal.
Post count went from 4K+ to zero overnight.

Messages is the new Posts.
Posts is dead, long live "Messages". It's your post count.

I had to zero them out because I did extensive testing on the import and didn't realize that it added them together each time. So 4K went to 8K went to 12K....

Weird. I just clicked on that and read it. How often does this happen? What browser you using (so I can test)?
