Preserved Topic: New Asylum (Page 3 of 5)

I'm also a little confused about the sudden multiplicity of cells... What used to be Cell 617 is now page 5143... but that's not at all connected to my profile ->bodhi23...

Can you expand on this in layman's terms please?

I assume you're talking about the faq pages.
See, about every page in the grail is addressed via a simple id, faqs, threads, forums, user cells.
When we were importing all the old information from the asylum and the faq, we had to start with the users, or we wouldn't have been able to make the correct links to user's cells. Therefore all faqs (which where the second thing we imported) got bumped by about 4500.

Please note that pretty much all the old urls are still working, and redirect to the new asylum page.
Example: http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/1005 still points to the sandbox, and http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum1/HTML/009078.html still goes to myIE2.

I'll try - basically everyone has built their cell automatically into their profile, or perhaps rather their profile into their cell, so it's only the one page you get to by clicking your user name for both. Clicking the "Edit Cell" button there will reveal a so far empty field for "additional information" where you can move everything you previously had in your FAQ cell.

From there you could of course still link to subpages in the FAQ, and maybe it will also be possible to add pages to your cell directly without using the FAQ at all in the future... I don't think we have quite thought the whole cell idea to its end yet. As it is now, every inmate just has his/her profile/cell page available for anything he/she might want to show to the rest of us, however much that might be

Nice work, guys.

However, I seem to be missing the "Back to Top" link.

Also, I can't find any quick way to get to my profile. I have to go find my name in a thread somewhere or navigate through the member list. Is there a quicker way?



(Edited by Wes on 04-12-2004 06:20)

sure. just change the url to http://www.ozoneasylum.com/wes - wait, your name is to short to be a valid linkword/url.

I fear not, though you could of course learn your cell number by heart.

What TP forgot to add is that a profile link is of course going to be found in some place on every page soonish, the problem was just that we discovered it was missing only yesterday and there wasn't enough time to think it through then

Um... The problem is that I am not getting the 15 minutes. I am not even getting 15 seconds. Here is my work flow.

1) Click my toolbar link to the asylum.
2) Click a couple of times to view the content of a new thread.
3) Scroll back to the top of the page and click "OZONE Asylum"
4) AHHHH!!! The pills have all gone yellow!

With the old Asylum I was able to click this link and I would return to the front page and it would not have modified those topics which had changed since my last visit.

I am browsing with Firebird on FreeBSD if that means anything.

That's pretty strange. I just did the same thing (front page -> OZONE forum -> New Asylum thread -> link back to front page) and am still getting the red pill for the forum as always. Even after refreshing the page and hitting Strg+F5. Doing that in the old Asylum turned all dots yellow for me, but here it doesn't any more.

I'm using Firefox on Windows here... are you sure all cookies get accepted correcty? The ones called 'lastVisit' and 'thisVisit' control the pill colours.

Do I now have to click forums instead of OZONE Asylum?

Sorry, just checked neither work for me. I will look into my cookies. I didn't have this problem before is all I know.

Both links get you to the same page, so I guess not. I didn't at least.

Hmmm... is anyone else having the same problem?

It` alive..ALIVE...muwahahaha!!!

Outstanding, TP, Emps, et al. Doc will be so proud. The inmates did something to the Asylum while he was away, and it didn`t involve breaking anything.
Love all the new stuff. Well done.

For my cookies

Before clicking on OZONE Asylum:

.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 thisVisit 1081780261
.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 lastVisit 1081780256

After clicking on OZONE Asylum:

.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372928 thisVisit 1081780377
.www.ozoneasylum.com TRUE / FALSE 1084372811 lastVisit 1081780256


thisVisit updated when I clicked on the link, but lastVisit remained the same. This should be the correct handling, but the actual behavior is not what it is suposed to be.

I don't know why this is happening. It seems the cookies working correctly.

Great work on this!

Haven't had time to play much with it yet, but it looks fantastic

Thanks for the explanation...

So let me spit it back to make sure I understand...
While a user can access both their original FAQ cell, and now their new profile, the new profile makes the old FAQ obsolete? So we can copy over the information from the old FAQ cell to the new profile, and then we don't need the old FAQ cell anymore... ok.

New question: is it preferrable, at this point, to migrate that information over to the new profile? I mean, ultimately, folks will go into the profiles by the linkword that is the user's name... so are you planning to completely phase out the FAQ cells eventually?

Thanks ozphactor!

It'll take some getting used to but it looks great. So far I haven't had any troubles with it.

We won't do anything anything about the faq cells - every inmate is still very much welcome to get another cell in the faq, and you're free to link there from your cell, or not. If you asked politly enough, I'm sure a MS would even change your username-linkword to point to your faq cell.

WarMage: Sorry, I don't have any idea why this is not working for you. But I'll investigate.

Eh - just checking... not a big deal...
Wanted to be clear, that's all!

Great work... the more I look around, the more impressed I am!

Is the text supposed to be more red?

Is This Thing On?

Bleah...

???

It looks the same here

Great work all.. very impressed.

For the record, I'm having the same problem WarMage is having, and Lacuna says that she has the experienced the problem, too. I know Lacuna uses FireFox, but I use IE, so apparently it's not a browser glitch...

I was Paranoid before then I'm a Maniac now...but it's cool. It's just that I need time to get used to this new site.

The poster has demanded we remove all his contributions, less he takes legal action.
We have done so.
Now Tyberius Prime expects him to start complaining that we removed his 'free speech' since this message will replace all of his posts, past and future.

And no-one's saying you shouldn't.

I had no way of knowing if you'd actually gotten around to setting a linkword or not, the only thing I saw was that there wasn't one assigned after I had read your post. Doesn't have much to do with "trusting your experience" or not.

you know, we've started to refering to IE as 'das EI' - ei meaning egg in german. It's been annoying the heck out of us. If I don't find out what's causing this, I might have to add a random parameter to each url when using IE, just to get it to handle it's caching correctly. sigh.

Olsson saves the day!

the pills... they are all orange.

is this... an upgrade over black pills?

it cant be!!!

They taste like candy...


NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


where are my black pills? *wandres down the hall... or what used to be the hall... looking for black pills and running into closed and open doors that used to be walls on the ceiling*


[antique sigs are us]

Very nice gentleman. I like it.

The only thing that's pained me while I've been wandering is that there's no link to the pages at the top of a thread. I've gotta go to the bottom of the thread but I can't just hit the 'End' key because that shoots me down too far.

:::11oh1:::

Ahh, very nice, very nice. First actual upgrade I remember seeing for the Asylum in years, and it looks good. And the reply box being at the bottom of threads, I greatly approve. Good show, folks.
