Fake Forum Economy

[Dio]

The page numbers past the first page do not appear in the forum shop unless you have the mouse cursor over them. This bug is why I missed the three pages of bases. I have the default forum theme set presently.

Firefox browser, by any chance?

It shows up fine in IE and Chrome.

I'll add a (2 pages) to the name of the Leaders section.

[Buster's Uncle]

Done.

-Also checked all three themes anyone's using in Chrome to be thorough.  Saw the page numbers just fine.

Firefox-user reporting in.

Got no problems with the pages at all.

We have an unfortunate history with Firefox not playing well with SMF forums software, mostly album picture displays - it seems to have since self-corrected; sisko was never able to track it down, not for lack of trying.

I have Chrome because it downloaded itself; I'd deleted Firefox for the same obnoxious offense before we started here.  I need to download Firefox on purpose three years ago, for checking/confirming purposes.  Today will have to do.

It appears as though the shop shows the page numbers normally on Firefox, but does not show on Internet Explorer.

Hmmm.  What version?  I'm fine in IE11.

...I have installed Firefox (the THINGS I do for this community) and I suppose it will be useful as an unlogged lurker check, too - it won't lag in as one of my identities, and I'm NOT bothering with a third email account just to be able to log in as a plain citizen in yet another theme...

Now to post a random album image to make sure I can see it as a lurker in Firefox...



Crap.  I can't.  $#@!  -Where's the dang refresh button in FF?  Hmm. Found it.  No joy.  Not a lot of luck seeing anything in the Masks thread, either.  Maybe I can fix a view setting.  $#@!  Nothing but links for attachments.  I need to log out in Chrome so I can log in in FF.  $#@!

[Buster's Uncle]

...I still haven't worked out the crap a new Firefox install refuses to do, like let me log in as either account when I'm logged out in the other browsers, but it does show SOME attachments at the top of a page if you wait - roughly the first five, which suggest a cache settings problem - the logins sometimes tell me to check my cookie settings, which I've yet to figure out how to find.  Not feeling real motivated to puzzle it out...

Valka, I added clarification to the atheism item description and reduced the price somewhat.  Have a look.

I did manage to do what I think is a reasonably exhaustive search for a file containing that misspelled PM title, and I'm stumped.  Need to appeal to the tech braintrust for guidance.

And until I figure out how to tackle the Games Room problem -need tech d00dz guidance again- and maybe the related, but non-shop problem of other games we've tried before and sisko disabled, I'm pretty much wrapped up on the Shop for now, absent member suggestions and requests.

Mylochka has an idea for pop-culture icons, like some Star Trek stuff she specifically suggested.  What say the peanut gallery/jury on those lines?  There could be no end to it, which I'd rather avoid, but what ten things like an Enterprise and the Tardis (and geek-beloved characters) would we like?  What ought the names and descriptions and use messages and prices be?  Do we cut off at ten or go to more than one page for the section and work me really hard?

Well, what are the most common SF-related things, people, or concepts people think of right away?

I'm reminded of a smiley site I subscribe to (yes, I pay for access to the entire site, as there's an incredible amount of stuff there and it's constantly being added to)... there is a science fiction section that includes some Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, generic SF stuff (like an adorable little alien in a flying saucer)...

The idea, though is how to relate it to our own specific forum culture here, correct?

We have dedicated Star Trek and Doctor Who threads, so a couple of things for each would be nice.

I'll give it some thought...

Dune stuff would be a gimme, if only there were pictures from some version everyone who liked Dune liked.  Same goes for Lord of the Rings (I'm in the minority, but I didn't think the movies were that good).

We've got two sections devoted to SMACX stuff (and I could totally do another section or two in my sleep, like AC tech icons and/or Units [Mylochka has been saying to do a mindworm gift item], so that's covered just fine.  (I wonder if I have to stop at 8 categories, or will it make another row?)

Nerds-love-it stuff, so Star Wars, of course, with the proviso that at MY place, there will NEVER be more Star Wars than Star Trek ANYthing, unlike every forum on the entire net that isn't a dedicated Trek site...

[Buster's Uncle]

Dangit.  Now I have to google Booba Fett - and then Spock for star-balance.

[Valka]

I had a few Dune-themed smileys somewhere - a sandworm and a few other things. I'll have to check.

I thought I posted in here. Certainly drafted a post. Anyway, I fixed the "You Where Sent An Item" thing. Still don't know what the games room is.
