What Pulse?

Mark
I am unable to get the Pulse to work with Safari (v1.2.2). Also all the buttons for formating text, inserting images, links etc. have quit working. Can't insert smilies by clicking on them. Have any ideas as what is going on?

Looks like I broke something when adding the Pulse. I believe I've corrected the issue as I'm now able to see everything correctly using Safari 1.2.1, Mozilla 1.6 on OSX as well as IE 6 on Windows 2000. IE on OSX does not support some of the javascript functions needed to best display the drop down menus so I'll be working to correct that deficiency over the next couple of days.

Let me know what other Pulse-related issues you find.

Thanks!

Mark

Mark trimmed them down so that more threads could be displayed in the window. Move your mouse over the title to see the full title of the thread, he has a post on the home page about it.

When loading or refreshing or auto refreshing of PULSE:

"Line 66 Object Expected error"

MS IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633
on Windows XP Pro SP1

As mentioned in the announcement this is intentional so that more threads can be displayed without scrolling. If you move your mouse over any of the thread titles (without clicking) your browser should display the complete thread title.

Does it load correctly when you first launch it? If so, at what point do you receive this error? Is it the first time it auto-refreshes or if you right click over it and select reload will it force the error?

Thanks

All I have to do to get it is to click the pulse link (at the upper right of the page just to the right of the Search link) and click the Watch All Forums sub-link and it gives me that error message.

BTW, too bad the truncation length couldn't be a CP parame...

Does this occur for the "Watch Only Auto-related forums" as well?

Oh, BTW, I run no pop-up blockers, no additional tool bars (like Yahoo!, etc), all security/privacy settings set to default.

Mark,

Before when we used The Pulse, it would take us to the last post of the chosen thread. Now it puts us at Page One, rather than the most recent posting in the thread.

Can you make it roll back to the most recent post, please? Thanks!

Clo/Wanda

I hope the "Last page/newest post" functionality can be added to the "New Posts" search and also to the "Latest Topics" listing as well.

In the User Control Panel under Edit Options there is an option to set display mode for threads (Thread Display Mode) but I believe it will change the whole site.

Charles,

That will not change the pulse, just latest topics and other forum links. The pulse is something Mark has built and currently it's not integrated into the UserCP as a user configurable function.

It does change the Pulse Last page/newest post functionality on my computer. Try it and let me know if it does on yours.

Thanks

Mark, I believe I've found the offending code. Check out the BODY tag

<body onload="javascript:prepareWindow()">

Notice how it calls prepareWindow() javascript function when the document has loaded? Well, there's no prepareWindow function defined anywhere. Not even in the __utm.js referenced in the HEAD section.

Right you are. This was something I had put in when I was working on the new pulse and evidently left it in although I didn't need it anymore. I've removed this so give it another try and let me know if you are still having problems.

Thanks!

Mark

The 'old' Pulse used to take you to the last (newest) post in a thread. This version gives you the beginning of the thread, and in a long thread one has to click to get the last page and scroll their way to the latest post. Is there something I am missing that would allow me to have it work this way? The Pulse links should be similar to the subscribed thread email links which take you to (#newpost). Can anyone hepp me?

The new pulse had to redeveloped from scratch since the system software is completely different. Given this there are some warts to work out (such as the one you mention). I'm working on these as fast as I can but hope to have this one resolved this week. Thanks for your patience!
