Requests:

  • Opening Links - Update the links that are in posts to open in a new tab/window by default. For instance, this link to Google will open in the same window, taking us away from VGChartz. It is kind of annoying.

When posting with the "Rich Text Reply" option, you can already choose if you want the links to open in the same window or a new one, although be default is "-not set-", which would leave the action to how your browser deals with links.

Currently, the weird formatting removes the target _blank. So this link: Google.com will still not open a new window even if I selected the option.

That's weird.

I just posted two links on another thread to open on a new window and they work fine.

 

Edit: I'm on Firefox 35.0.1 and this is my post.

All of the broken code!!!!! Lulz.

One other thing, spellcheck. It doesn't work in Rich Text boxes. I have only seen it work in the Quick Reply box. Fix that shiz.

1st Bug
"-23 new post(s)"

Here is a bug that has plauged the VGChartz Playstation Trophy League thread for years now.


When there are new posts made to the thread, the orange exclaimation icon will appear and the tooltip will display "X new post(s)" as it should. However, after I view all of the new posts, the thread will still appear with an orange exclaimation icon and will display "-23 new post(s)". If I view the last page of the thread again, it will then display the correct green icon that indicates that there are no new posts.

2nd Bug
"Phantom table"

In the first post on the VGChartz Playstation Trophy League thread a phantom table from weekly updates past appears at the end of the post (see graphic below):


I'm not able to remove this table as it doesn't appear in the text editor when I click Edit Post.

Thanks!

Remembered another bug to report:
"Where did the colour go?"

The cell colours in tables does not work. In the Rich Text Editor, I have a table that I've copied in from Excel. I want to highlight the column titles with a splash of colour. In the Rich Text Editor, I highlight a cell in the first row, click Table Cell Properties. In the new window, I click the Advanced tab, then for Background Color, I select a colour I want to use. Finally, in the dropdown list at the bottom of the window, I select Update all cells in row, and click Update. This appears in the Rich Text Editor as it should:


But when I Submit the post, it appears with no colour :(


The funny thing is that it I click the Edit Post button, the Rich Text Editor opens and shows that colour still applied to the cells. So the change is being retained, but it's just not coming through when the post is displayed.

^Agreed tables needs to have a complete overhaul on VG Chartz I don't know how it possibly got so bad.

Please get rid of the horrible redirecting App Store ads on iOS devices and auto play ads.

hey, I have run into a problem in the last few days. I even made a thread about it yesterday! My forum view keeps changing to highest amount of views or sort by author. If I clear my cache it goes back to normal. But that isn't a solution I want to use every 30-40 minutes on this site.

Can you make it so that when you post an image on someones wall, it's automatically resized (at least if it's to big) to fit the wall?
