Download Mansion Link Bug - Nick12 - 12-02-2007

When I clicked on the link to download Temple of the Gorgons 1.1 the MM forums logged me out and then took me to the download page. :-? Its a small bug but I thought it should be reported.

Yes Nick, thx for reporting it. So far, I thought I was the only one who encountered that bug.

Very funny is, that when choosing the new layout for the boards, the bug is gone ... :Smile

If you shouldn't know how to change it, this is how you may do it.
1° Click on the User Panel tab.

5° At the question
Which template ...
choose: MMF.

I had that problem too !!

But, strangely, only when trying to download the TempleOfTheGorgons-update !! It simply didn't work.

However, I had no problems downloading the Catacombs update a minute earlier !!

Strangely, that didn't work for me, either !! :o

After hittin' OPTIONS on the PROFILE page, a screen appeared stating
Safari couldn't connect to server
or something like that !!

What's happenin' ??

Please check if this is a permanent problem or not. Because any server may be
out of reach
for a while.


Re: Download Mansion Link Bug - aquaMat - 12-03-2007

Right, Freddy !!

I re-checked it just now....and it works fine again!

I also set my
Forum Options
on
YaBB 2.1 old style
and -zooom- it reverts back to the (much better) old and trusted look, PLUS all the functionality of YaBB 2.2.

Truly recommended !!

Re: Download Mansion Link Bug - Freddy - 12-03-2007

Smile Good news that you have connection again with ActionSoft!

But of course, from my side, I need to recommend
MMF
and not
Old yabb 2.1 style
. Because I did create it myself ... Wink

I assume you didn't like the choise of the colours? Or is there more wrong? Please tell me.

Re: Download Mansion Link Bug - aquaMat - 12-04-2007

Basically, it's all those points I stated elsewhere, the most important of which are:

1. The colors are tiring
2. It looks
crowded
. Handling is less
intuitive
than before...!
3. Some fonts are too small and the whole layout looks a bit
dated
(no offence) !



Re: Download Mansion Link Bug - Freddy - 12-04-2007

Of course I do not feel offended. Because, about the layout there are two complete seperate things.
1° The choise between the new yabb2.2-look and the old 2.1 one.
2° The changing of the colours for fonts, backgrounds and borders.

As admin I was only busy with point 2° and tried to give MMF some MM-colours: blue for the night and yellow for the moon (and the easy way to make yellow hints possible Smile). My
major succes
was getting rid of that yabb-logo and replace it with a MM-pic. That needed to be done by changing a part of a text written in html. :Smile Doesn't feel customer-friendly.

I assume that changing the tabs-row (Home to Logout) and e.g. the
dots
that say if there are new posts in a forum, must be changed in that text as well. It isn't possible to change that, like e.g. the background colour of the text area.

Anyway. I am not at all a specialist in this kind of things and am very glad that Joe is coming back to fix the layout of MMF in a much more serious way!

Re: Download Mansion Link Bug - Freddy - 12-04-2007

Is anyone against the bigger fonts or the return of the former look about having new posts? You only need to yell !
