Patch 1.7

teebling · 2019-03-14T09:12:37Z

images/media/bchat7.pngPatch 1.7 14th March 2019 Four new forum skins/images/updates/forumskins.gif6 skins in total can now be used on the site: The Barrens, Elwynn Forest, Tirisfal Glades, Teldrassil, Mulgore and Dun Morogh. Change your skin by selecting from the tab in the top right of the screen. The old 'alliance' theme has been given some graphical updates as well in line with the new styles to bring it up to the same standard. Topic search/images/updates/topicsearch.gifThe default search bar on the index page searches all sections of the site for exact queried keywords in topic titles. This is likely to be the most used part of the search engine but it's also the simplest and may be improved upon in the future. Advanced key word search/images/updates/advancedsearch.gifThe advanced search function is more powerful and allows for a lot of fine tuning and filtering to help you narrow down what it is that you're looking for. By default it displays search results of all posts (for inline keywords) but can be modified to display as a topic list too. New sorting options/images/updates/quicklinks.pngYou can use the sorting dropdown to sort the forum's topic list by 'Unread posts' (shows topics with unread posts only), 'Your posts' (shows only topics in which you have posted in the past) and 'Unanswered topics' (shows topics that have never been replied to). This gives people more control over how they filter and browse the topic list. Post historyYou can now also browse every post you have ever made (not just the last ten) by clicking 'View all posts' link in your profile. This will 'search' you as an author, showing all your posts. It can be filtered etc like any other search. Can also be used to see other members' post history. Character slots/images/updates/profilechars.pngAdded a profile customisation feature that can accommodate details for up to three different characters (one main and two alts). This is done from the Appearance section of your control panel. You don't have to fill in every detail or slot if you don't want to - it will display whatever you have chosen to display.In the future will be using Blizzard API to pull simple data from their servers like guild, level, name etc. just by entering an armory URL. Hopefully what I have done so far will suffice until then :smile: Also added a field for your Discord server. Commendations/images/updates/commendations.gifAs a way of recognising and celebrating those users who have made significant contributions to the website's health, content and popularity, I have introduced a commendations system.The commendations follow rough categories of merit (full guide authorship, recruiting other people to the site, publicising the site elsewhere, service to the community) etc. but each one has a unique flavour text depending on the user.I will be rewarding these to users at my discretion rather than automatically. Earning a commendation will be hard - I want them to reflect real passion and effort. You can see a user's commendations on their profile page. Other changes You can now instantly mark all notifications as read in the header dropdown:/images/updates/markread.gif When choosing topic icons you can now see what the icons actually are instead of just a text description:/images/updates/topicattr.gif Added a countdown to the beginning of summer (solstice is June 21st this year) on desktop index page. This will change to release date when it is announced:/images/updates/countdown.png Your level badge is now displayed in the header bar next to PM/Notifications on desktop site:/images/updates/indexlevel.png Enabled font-smoothing via a new CSS property for Chrome and Firefox users (OS X only). Here is a before/after:/images/updates/antialias.gif Added a slight shadow-hover effect on the main navbar links If a topic is unread, clicking the 'quill' on the topic list will now take you to the last unread post, instead of the last post. If it is a read topic, it will go to the last post in the topic as before. This means you won't have to scroll up from the last post to see the newest stuff :) Thanks SweaterMonster for the suggestion. General notifications about site updates etc. now have a BC themed picture New icon for ideas and suggestions thread in the Info forum] 'Adventurers online' is now also visible to guest users Changed 'Newest User' text to 'Welcome X!' in footer Added a link in footer to a privacy policy page in line with GDPR requirements Changed icon in 'want to write a guide' string from parchment to a quill Added Oceanic region servers to the realm list selection for you Aussies out there :smile: The usual pagespeed and SEO optimisations Made settings cog on mobile site much larger Bug fixesFixed poll titles on mobile overflowing on top of topic options dropdown Fixed 3px vertical mispositioning of subheader on index page in comparison with view topic pages Fixed usernames overflowing left profile section on view topic page Fixed user profile entr...

Windows 10 (64 Bit)
Opera 58.0.3135.79

:mrgreen:

Go/Advance buttons are misaligned.

Text is misaligned.

If you click "Unread Posts" the cog button dissapears.

Space missing between the text and the button.

Not really a bug, but makes more sense having the levels on the right, than on the left.

There is a little inconsistency on how buttons with text work. For example, when you click on "Advance" button the text turns blue, but when you click "Preview" button the text doesn't change color.

In certain situations, when previewing your post, the text (and images) get outside the box.

Minor fix, make the Barrens Chat avatar not have "B" and "S" letters half hidden.

I know this has something to do with me being a moderator, but i always get this wierd thing when i make/edit posts.

I think I agree here - I often log on Barrens and for a minute think I have like 15 unread notifications just because of the placement.

It amazes me how this platform becomes ever more appealing as the time goes on. I do really really hope though that the community would grow along with the the site, at the same time retaining the quality of discussions in the manner of mutual respect, laid back approach and general kindness.

Wish all of you guys, myself included, to be a worthy members of this wonderful forum.

I just got an email saying I have been inactive for 2 months! I don't know if it was automated or not, but I visit this site every few days. And I'm pretty sure I'm logged in when I do visit. I don't post/reply too often so maybe that is why.

Maybe its a bug or something if it is automated? And if it isn't automated I'm just posting to post I guess, haha. I just thought I should post it somewhere and thought this be the right place.
