Fever Tech Team Outreach (Whine + Congratulate Nik Here)

Admittedly there are a whole sections that I skip over when I go to the active feeds section. Any EPL fan threads, gaming, chants and a few off topic things get opened in a new tab and closed so its read. Thats what I do but I respect that I am 1 of a million so I don't think minorities like me should be catered too. I think the solution I have worked out is simple enough. I think leave everything that is active, in the active thread (as much as its easier for me to not have it there)

currently somewhat annoying for 99% of others.

Lets create a major topic in Off Forum called "Cats" and then we can start heaps of sub forums like "Everton" (cats who like Everton) and have a couple of people who have a cat who is interested in the Toffees post in it every day. 

jog on comparing them with the EPL. I have no idea how they (Football Gaming and Trophy Manager) got on the main menu in the first place.

Meh, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it shouldn't appear as an active topic. If no one viewed or participated the topic, it would no longer be active would it. 

I'm sure you can live with seeing a thread on an active topics page occasionally - you don't have to read it. Its not that much of an inconvenience is it? There are plenty of threads in the active topics that I don't read, but I ignore them and get on with my life - appreciating that some people do use them (such as threads for individual english teams) and it's probably more helpful for them to see it in active topics than it is (very slightly) annoying for me to skip over when I see it. 

we're here to watch the football..

Unfortunately, I am the law, and I agree with Feverish.

But, if you want an actual metric, the off topic threads get a fraction of traffic so it's weird that they can be at the top of the active topics page. They are a minority interest that we cater for, but football is what we are here for.

inconvenience to some vs scanning your eyes over the thread for others. 

Makes nonsense to me, but whatever. 

Can there at least be an "all active topics" option for those who do want off topic in there? Otherwise RRs idea is good, that way you can pick and choose which forums apply to you so as to avoid any minor eye strain whilst skipping over a thread from a forum you happen to not be interested in. 

My inconvenience isn't as valuable as your inconvenience then huh?

Is it really an inconvenience?

I do it with threads all the time. Zero effort. 

i cant update my avatar - i get told someone screwed up, while im forced to watch Totori hit the side net of an open goal over and over and over.... 

So we dont know why this is happening? Image parameters and/or file size exceeded or something...?

Can you try uploading it again and let me know what time you tried, so I can check the logs and see what happened? What type of file are up uploading (jpg?) and what filesize?

Tried just now. Gif, 1.63mb

not complaining but can't load a photo on full site after loading IOS 8 ? 

Just hangs on load. 

bahahaha just found this beauty and didnt know where to post it!

PS: i love your work mods.

I think that's an issue with Safari - i have the same problem with Facebook (the App is fine), and a message pops up saying 'Photo uploading is not available in iOS8', or something to that extent.

I know, its stupid.

Anyone know why the site is struggling to load? I know we live in NZ and have dial-up and ZX spectrums but just because we have 20 YF online at the same time shouldn't mean it takes 5 minutes to load a page.

I had a ZX-81

1 input a$

10 If iinput$=10 then go to 20

11 goto 1

20 print "fuck off"

30 close

My account details link me to user\56 - latest name: fuk u - last active 1 year ago.

Where's in the user accounts list do I really exist? Can somebody please link my account to my user record?

Did I get mangled in the website migration last year?

Fixed now. You really are user #56, but that guy had set up his account with the username '56'. That caused some problems with rails. I've changed his username so everything is better now.

You might have caught the site while PAt was doing a deploy. This will be slow for a few minutes around then. the site shouldn't normally take 5 min to load

Sorry posted this in the wrong thread:

Above is still an issue.

Also there is an issue with search results:

"ul.post-list.search-results li.post-wrapper div.header.odd a" and "ul.post-list.search-results li.post-wrapper div.header.even a" the href points to something like:

http://www.yellowfever.co.nz/categories/off-topic/topics/things-that-piss-you-off#post_644063

Seems to work better in format:

I read somewhere on the forums that the "This" function is now on the app. Is this true and if so do I have to delete and reinstall to get it going?

It's only on Android. Nik's too busy creating Gelato in London to add it to iOS.

I am on Android 

App's not working for me, telling me I have no internet connection.

We have a certificate issue.  The assistant to the senior intern is blaming the intern who in turn currently resides on the other side of the planet.

Classic fever. 

just noticed the "back to active topics" button. Choice!

Sydney FC playing twice this weekend?

I guess life can be tough at times, no time for recuperation, we could hit them hard and take it.

How's the ignore button coming along? All the stupid is getting to me.

Its obviously not working, I can still see your posts!!!

Be good if the auto correct on words such as croud did not happen in URL's.

Can only open anything by dragging the link to the tab bar? and creating a new tab.

All the TAB flags at the top of the page are showing the same :D

The auto correct doesn't work in signatures.

'Active Topics' is very useful, but it'd be good if you could personalise it in some way - just to keep up to date with what you want to know about without having to 'check' (in the 5 pages of it)

Back in the day, I'm sure you could toggle how far back you were interested in.
For example - you could say 'Active Topics' 'within the last hour'.

OR (and/or...)

Could there be a way to be notified of responses to your posts? Is there already? If so, it doesn't jump out at me... 

...in saying that, I see it's started to 'order' itself now (after I clicked into every single one)

When I came on the first time (for a long time) a couple days ago, the 'order' was all over the place.

I think the notifications would be good though.

In other forums I've seen a check-box that goes along with the 'reply' field ('preview' 'save' 'notify' perhaps?) - for example if somebody posts something in 'Dangerous Liaisons' to try and see if anyone's near them at an away game, it'd be handy to be notified if somebody responds to it (obviously there's other ways around that but that's the first example that came to me...)
