A couple of minor issues

Hi,
Before noting the issues I'd really like to thank you for all the effort that went into this plug-in. The forum installed like a charm and the admin controls are amazing. I'm using WP 2.6 with the Edublog theme and SF 3.1.3.

I'm just developing a WP site so I've been testing it with Explorer on a pc as well as Safari and Firefox on a mac. All image the forum and all forum functions appear to work without any problem.

There are a couple of things I noticed:
- when the send and receive PM is turned off in the admin panel, the unread messages and inbox icons still show in the forum header. Is it possible to alter the php to turn them off when the PM feature is set to off?
- Safari v3.1.2 posts the path along with the profile icon. This doesn't occur with Firefox or Explorer. I took a look at the source and found a “?” in the link so I suspect this has to do with the permalink fix (sf-pmpost.php, line 130) that has already been resolved.
- the last issue is an odd one - for some reason the initial admin account sets a date with a year that's a negative number “-0001″. This error only occurs occasionally related to the date in the forum header for Last Visit.


Thanks Again,
John

Actually, the PM Inbox and message count do NOT show if you do not have permission to use them (as set in the permission sets). An admin will ALWAYS see them (currently) because an admin sees everything. But members will only see them if permissions allow it.

The last visisted date is an odd one as this was dealt with quite a long time ago. Can you log out of the forum and wait, say, 2 minutes before logging back in to see iif it corrects itself - it should do. if it does not then it might be useful to know both the MySQL and PHP versions you have there.

Thanks!!!
I didn't realize that members couldn't see the icons. Sorry for the silly question.

logging out and back in did eliminate the last visit issue - I wonder if it relates to visiting the forum for the first time.

the code fix to  sf-pmpost.php was related to PM and didn't clear up the html info for the profile icon. Oddly, the text changes each time - it just imaged

Is it possible to alter the image links to use relative paths?

Andy thanks for taking the time and btw your website is great fun!!!

I just discovered your tutorial on themes  http://www.stuff.yellowswordfish.com/creating-custom-page-templates/ which should help to resolve the image path and Safari compatibility issues.

Thanks,
John

I'l try and take a look in Safari at your problem there. I understand what you are referring to now. I have seen Safari do this elsewhere - at one point it was displaying the paypal 'donate' key to my paypal account!

Hi,
I still haven't found the cause of the Safari code leaks (safari_visibility_instead_of_display) but did run across a great site I thought I'd pass on: http://www.quirksmode.org/bugreports/archives/safari/index.html

I suspect that since I'm the only one seeing this issue and since the forum is a page in the edublog theme on my site that it has to do with the way the theme is handling the page.

Regards,
John

Are you running the latest? I was under the impression this had been fixed because my site behaves with it now.

yes, 3.1.3 — I'm about to upgrade WP to 2.6.1 in the hopes of eliminating the periodic stalls on the webserver. Maybe something mystical will happen : )

I think I've narrowed the code leak issue down to the vertical alignment “error” that's used in the css. Browsers may or may not support top, middle, etc.

currently changing the css but thought you'd really enjoy these links : ):
