OpenSubtitles forum

Hi,

proudly presenting new design on forum.opensubtitles.org - I hope you like it. Of course it will take a bit time to make it feel as "home" again. If you will find some bugs, let us know here.

Enjoy.

In my system (Linux - old Firefox) is all broken.
And I still can't use smileys :-/

In my system (Linux - up to date Firefox) is all working :D

It's a nice layout @oss, we're no longer in 2006 :D

glad it is working on up to date systems and glad you are liking it (same as your mobile devices)

Well, I guess I must update my browser.

This is just my opinion and I'm aware it is not very common. Mobile devices are an environmental threat and problem. They use dangerous batteries and rare metals and are an important source of technological waste. Their life length is usually 2 - 3 years (sometimes even shorter) because they often crash or catch water.

I'm totally against them. Besides, technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.

Now I have one more reason to hate them.

It takes 16 seconds to load on my computer. About the same time it takes to change the font size.
Perhaps it is a great improvement for many people. For me it is almost unusable. I can upgrade my browser but won't change my computer just to use this forum.

But I don't think the main problem is its design or the technology used to implement it. It's become irresponsive but not just updating the screen, also at a higher level:

Mobile devices are an environmental threat and problem.

Mobile devices are a political, spiritual and communicative threat and problem as well.

But on my desktop comp the layout is bearable and loading time is fine.
My screen is 27 inch.
My processor is a Q9550, which was a great choice, 7 years ago.
I must admit that I recently (2 years ago) upgraded to an SSD disk, but this wouldnt speed up the forum loading time.

We were missing you, Smallbrother :-)
My computer doubles that number, it is 15 years old. It still fulfills my needs except for some webpages :-/
I upgraded my browser. The problem is that new versions add a lot of features that I don't need or want which makes it more resource hungry.
In my opinion javascript is a good thing but sometimes it is used unnecessarily and makes everything a lot slower.

I'll have to live with it.

Who is "we"?


The never ending unfortunate story is web designers going wild on all kind of fancy features, comp is too slow, you buy a new comp, then web designers think "nice, now we can add more fancy stuff". Etc. Same with bandwidth, loading times, etc. If I make web sites, I spend time on for example reducing image file size by reducing colours, finding optimal compression etc. I am ten times slower than others, but my pages laod with the speed of light, even on netscape 3 on a 15 year old comp But i am the only one. Yes, live with it.

Updating/grading browsers is a bit different story. I would recommend that for reasons of security.

Who is "we"?

Maybe me and STB... But STB will take that secret to his grave and deny all.

Hi, If you will find some bugs, let us know here.

On a serious note, boss, I don't get any topic notification emails since the upgrade. From the Moderator and user control panel settings, all is fine and to receive notifications/emails are selected. Looked in the ACP, too, but no solution seems to be apparent in there. Those settings (in the ACP) for all users seems to be fine. Please fix. knowing my luck, I'm the only one with the problem.

Main forum page is broken on firefox (latest), probably other browsers too, when using half a fhd screen (roughly 960x1020 px), this is new from today or yesterday

Have you noticed https://forum.opensubtitles.org/viewtop ... 26&t=15645
Any difference?

For me, things seem to be okay...
(Win7 SP1, FF 46.0.1)
What means "broken"?

guys, when you say broken (specially design), it is good to send some screenshot. We added right navigation bar, but it is not working good yet. We also upgraded theme - so yes, we change the things.

For mails - hm! thats strange.

there's the uncompressible 'post' in blue on the right, taking about 40% of the screen. The columns aren't really well used either, the biggest should be the description, here it's the icon.

It makes everything look vertical (and broken)

With a screen width of approx. 1400px or larger - no problem.
But with anything smaller, that one column gets smaller.

The designer assumed things which shouldn't be assumed.

The problem lays in the definition of the columns: all columns have a fixed width, EXCEPT the 'description' column (for example "General talk - Talk here about new subtitles, movies, site improvements and everything regarding subtitles in ENGLISH language"). So with resizing or screens with a width smaller than 1400px, that column gets smaller (or in this case: too small), the other columns stay the same.
