Private Messages bug.

[GtPrOjEcTX]

When you goto to any letter under Private Message User History, or "all" or "other" the buttons of mark all as red, select all, and delete are still visible.
These don't work as the "delete", "status", and checkbox columns are no longer options.

Well, the mark all as read might work, haven't tested it...

But the select all and delete buttons bring back the errors:

for select all:
Line:2152
Error: 'document.pmbottomfrm.Selection' is null or not an object
obviously referencing something not on that page.

for delete:
There is no error message, it just doesn't do anything.

no response? or has this been covered already?

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

am I alone in here?

What browser and OS are you using? Like always, have you completely cleared out your cache? All of those work fine for me in 98se/IE6

How can they work fine for you?? Its not a flaw in my browser, the columns just aren't there.

steps.

1) goto messages
2) click on a letter that contains some pms
3) select all is a shown button, but there are no checkboxes to select, this will either pop a window up if you have a debugger installed or create an error on screen
4) delete button is shown (delete what? all of that letter?) when clicked a popup comes, and hit ok, and it does nothing.


These work for you??

BTW, since asked, IE6. Multiple computers. Same thing.

Ahh, I thought you had clicked on a users name first and viewed their PM history. It's just a standard layout/format I guess

Guys, while we appreciate people posting bugs please please please do not expect us to answer them all. This category is not actively monitored, some get answered some dont. Not enough time in a day to answer everyones posts.

 

[GtPrOjEcTX]

Zuni, I wasn't wanting a response from just you, but other forum members as well that might have noticed this. Thus the bumping of this thread.

I just can't help myself on this one. What's the point of the forum if nobody's going to respond?

Great. So we all can tell each other about bugs that we can't even be sure the admins see? Or tell each other about posts in other forums that we don't like?

 

[Jason Clark]

We're a small staff, please understand we can't be here 24/7 answering questions. This is not a bug reporting forum it never was intended for that, anandtech doesnt make fusetalk and is not going to fix bugs in someone elses product.

The latter of your "complaint" is really all its for moderator to user communication about bad posts and misbehaving people. Maybe a category rename is in order to ensure people realize what this category is for.

Understood

Seriously? I was under the impression that you (Zuni) was one the authors of the fusetalk code. Learned something new.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you were trying to say here....basically the point of this category is not about the forum software, but about forum activity? The reason I put it in here (or even mentioned it at all) is b/c Rule 1 in the Forum Issues FAQ says "If you are having a problem with the forums, please post them in Forum Issues."

Good day.

It's my view that if there's an issue with THIS forum, the users would report it to THIS forum's admins. We are not FuseTalk customers, we are Anandtech users. Zuni is one of the main people at Fusetalk, the original coder in fact, but that is a separate existance as far as I'm concerned. If I was at some other forum, where no Fusetalk staff was involved with administering the forums, I wouldn't be told to go post to the Fusetalk forums. I'd tell the admins there about a problem, and they'd respond, and if they thought it was an issue THEY would be the ones talking to Fusetalk because they're the ones paying for the product. I as a user can't know what has been customized in the forum code for this particular site, compared to what is part of the primary code base. Things may intentionally be redone based on the desires of this site's owner.

If the forum is only here to be used for forum activity issues, where is a USER supposed to go to get help with forum issues? We shouldn't be told to go talk to the company making the software. And as is becoming obvious, email is no more responsive than the forum, aside from the fact that it's nice to have a discussion of a problem since many times it's something that is already known, or has a workaround or is simply a user mistake.

Also, the small staff seems to consist of one person, Zuni, when it comes to forum problems. Moderators are supposed to be here 24x7, otherwise what's the point of having any in the first place. While I understand that a forum bug post may not need an immediate response, an eventual response is a reasonable expectation.

Sorry, but we just cant respond to all of them let alone some of them. People will browse the category from time to time from the main anandtech staff, but they cant answer them all. I have changed the category description and put a notice up top that the general purpose for this category is moderator/user to user related issues. Feel free to post whatever you want, but just letting you know I can't check em all guys

As to fusetalk yes I am the CTO, and co-founder for FuseTalk. AnandTech is something I do external to that company. I realize that causes confusion, but we'll get through it. When I speak here (generally) it's for AnandTech's interests. Sometimes I do feel like I have a split personality though

I have in the past, tried to reply to everything wish I could keep doing that but time just is not permitting that. There are a few projects around AT that have my time pegged for a couple of months at least.

Cheers Guys/Gals.

 

[Lord Evermore]

Why not have a dedicated forum administrator? Someone who isn't doing this out of the goodness of his heart nor juggling 4 other projects and whose job it is specifically to look into problems? Sure, he/she might also have a real job, but at least if they're sure to look through the posts once per day then there's sort of a guarantee of problems being acknowledged and addressed. Obviously having to pay someone to do that would suck, but eventually money has to be put down to maintain quality, you can't just keep scratching through with the same resources.

Not required right now, as said if there is a serious issue its brought up and dealt with. People are around and reading they just might not answer all issues. In reality whether or not a fusetalk bug gets addressed or not isn't relayed back to the public anyway its a customer --> vendor thing. The mods do browse this category regularly so if something major is up it will be dealt with.
