Technical questions about the site

[Girlystevedave]

Does the site look weird for anyone else today? All the text (posts/usernames/sigs/etc) is centered instead of aligning to the left.

Edit: It's only doing it when I'm viewing on the VB4 default style.

All good here

I believe I just fixed it.

[Girlystevedave]

I believe you are correct! Thanks, RF.

No big whoop, but it seems that the arcade leader boards isn't saving anymore. Me just lost my 2000+ snake score...

[fernandito]

Wait... the arcade still works!?

[Iwritecode]

We have an arcade?

How do I use the iTrader? No matter which option I choose from the dropdown it only shows me 14 people; how do you search everyone? I expected to see the list just like on Private Messages where it gives you hits after a few letters. I only just wanted to leave a seller some good feedback.

It's a bit quirky. Find the seller and look for a recent post. Once at their post, click on the Feedback score underneath their member name, avatar. The at the right side of screen id the leave feedback option.
Or....
use the search field to find the member, then click on the feedback score and follow the previous instructions.

If you look at the information in the left panel of every post there is a "Feedback Score:" with a number. If you click the number it takes you to that person's iTrader page. The panel on the top right will say "Submit Feedback For George at C-Springs" or whatever user you click on. You can then submit your report.

Yep, that worked ... but definitely not in an obvious user-friendly kind of way! Thx -- G.

It's pretty crappy, but the price is right.

This has been happening for a while. I use GreyFolio Black. I use Firefox (the latest update).

Occasionally, when I go to Calvin's Corner, some of the symbols of the sub-forums are green, although no new information has been posted. Also, when new information is posted, the symbol can be either green or red. Is this a glitch in the system or in Firefox?

I'm guessing you are referring to Catalog sections. Correct?

Yes, it mainly has been recently happening with the first two--the Collectibles and the First Editions, but has also happened in the Books About King on occasion.

Those are the wiki sections that are being overhauled. The wiki wants to notify people of every change, no matter how minor.

Just curious, there are lots of posts that have pictures that I cant see. It seems mostly from a few members. Also, I think the issue only occurs when using my work computer (regardless of working locally, or vpn'd from home). All I see is a large white space, no frame or anything indicating that there is a broken link or anthing that indicates that something is missing.

An example would be post 10026 in the "Stephen King Collecting Questions" in Calvins Corner. This seems to be very common with posts from Needfulthings.

I'm guessing it is some kind of firewall issue, but what is unique about his posts that is different then most others?

[jhanic]

It could also be your browser. Do you use the same browser at work as at home? I've had similar problems with Internet Explorer, but not with Firefox.

Bruce (Needfulthings) uses Imageshack to host his pictures. It would be interesting to see if the other members images that you cannot see are also hosted on imageshack.
It's likely that your corporate network is blocking access to Imageshacks servers (and potentially other similar image hosting sites)

As an aside, all images in the Catalog have been moved and are now hosted on the site itself, so you should have no problems seeing those.

[Br!an]

He is using imageshack. Here's the link to the photo in 10026. http://imageshack.com/a/img673/8767/3e70Z1.jpg

If it's a firewall blocking imageshack then you shouldn't be able to follow the link either.

If you can see it then it's probably network settings, browser settings or a plug-in.

I also use Firefox and have no problem seeing the images.

I have similar issues here and on other message boards. I'm sure it's my company's network blocking them. When I try with my phone, I can see the images just fine.

Thanks Br!an and Stroppygoblin. It is indeed because it is from imageshack. I got a nasty "Access Denied" warning when I clicked on your link.

Thanks,

Mike, I'm just curious. I use Photobucket for my pictures in my Collections thread. Can you see those?

Hi John,

Yeah, I can see yours fine.
