Fast reply slow?  Or the regular reply?

I've just done a bit of testing, and yes, the slow reply runs significantly slower in my browser. I'll be using the fast reply when I can I suppose.

[C] has been fixed, you are caching it.  Go to http://psi-im.org/forum/unb_lib/designs/modern/img/favico…
and do a forced reload. That does it for Firefox.

I've always found Konqueror likes to cache the favicons. Too much for its own good. I just nuked all of the files in /$HOME/.kde/cache-pinky.fuzzy/favicons/ . That fixed it. :)

I'm very partial to fast reply for the same reason.  Next version of this board is supposed to get some db optimizations.  Also if I can when I go in and do a new theme, I'll simplify things a little to hopefully reduce initial download time.

Irrelevant post: I'm just posting because Hal tells me it's the only way to get around the Forum's 'special' notif behaviour.

Yes, the theme will be changed to match the website.

Excellent! I wanted to comment on the theme not being 'right' too. But, I can't quite say what's not 'right' about it. It's good to hear that somebody else knows what needs to be done. :D

What Kev is talking about is this:
If you want to catch every new thread on this board, you have to do two steps.
# Subscribe to each forum you are interested in, email, jabber or both.
# When a new thread pops up, you'll be notified once.  If you want to be notified of replies to that thread, you have to go to advanced options at the bottom and subscribe to the thread.  Alternatively if you have said you want notifications by default in your settings, replying in a thread will set that up for you.

So, is this burdensome?  Should the behavior be changed such that subscribing to a forum automatically subscribes you to the replies on each new thread?

If you weren't interested, you wouldn't have been subscribed to the forum.
So what I would ideally like is twofold;
First that you're automatically subscribed to all threads in a forum you watch.
Second that the problem with having too many subscriptions is addressed somehow.
I guess we have to wait on the db tidy up in the next version for the second, but the first should be an easy enough inhouse hack shouldn't it?

Hey, nice feedback also for me. :)

That slow editor box issue has already been reported by Konqueror users that said, using Firefox would 'fix' that. I'm not sure what Konqueror does there, seems to be a specially slow JavaScript interpretation. If you click on that "Special characters" button, you'll see it updating the list of alternative, similar characters to your current input location. There's already a delaying timeout on that, maybe it doesn't help yet and Konqueror just sucks, who knows... :/

And it's up to Safari to display the colour buttons coloured. Mac OS X doesn't seem to be able to colour its default-style push-buttons so that just isn't possible for now. Again, use Firefox (or Opera or so). ;)

The theme is very nice, but not quite Psi.  I did the best I could in a short amount of time *, and it worked out well.  But not ideal.

  • I took LonelyPixel's default "modern" theme and moved some stuff around a bit.

I was wondering about this because it was a bit of an eyesore using safari: Is Safari obliged to colour its buttons, or is it a generally accepted extension to the standard?

I don't know. Any other graphical browser seems to do that. (CSS: background-color on a <input type="button">) Haven't seen a standard describing what element has what styles yet.

Subject: load avatar and photo from vcard
The new forum looks sooo pretty.

It would be pretty neat to be able to load the avatar and photo pictures from your jid's vcard :-) Something to keep LonelyPixel out of the pubs :-)

Ah, yes, I'd need to do two things first: Get a new Psi (I think I won't try to hack my mods into it again before Qt4) that can handle avatars, and - the more important thing - rewrite the entire Jabber PHP class to something new that can actually take advantage of new features. The current (and apparently only!) one (Class.Jabber.PHP) seems to be like dead and it's far to complex that I would understand it.

I am a fan of simplistic forums like punBB and SMF, but from the outside this one looks sexy too.
