Since 3.51 was installed, the previous popup for giving rep points has become "load a new page". Given that recent changes in 3.50 all seemed to be leading to increased to increased speed, isn't this retrogressive? I'm curious about the reason for the change.
ya, i don't like it either, but i think it has to do with popup blockers. just my guess. I think they should do a flyout like the "Thread Tools" and "Quick Links" and use AJAX to post back.
I believe it's an incremental change vBullletin is doing. There needs to be an "old school" method to fallback on if a browser doesn't support AJAX. I would imagine we will be seeing an AJAX version in the near future.
Haha.. yeah I miss the pop-ups. Even though for a while they drove me nuts because old firefox would take like 5 minutes to open a window when I had too many tabs open. That has since been fixed, but now my pop-ups are gone!
You and your google update humor. If I knew about all of that you would slay me. Instead I just laugh uncomfortably.
Remember when you were like 12 or 13? The popups back then were just embarrassing... That's usually the effect I'm aiming for
I just noticed something else about the popup -> new page -> back to index thing with 3.51... When it does turf you back to the index, it does so using this URL: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/./ Code (markup): What's with that /./ bit?
Well, it certainly was doing that earlier this evening my time - happened about three times in a row.
Okay, I added a plug-in to make the redirection a little better IMO. Also, looks like it was a bug that was fixed, so won't need the plug-in for the next release: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs35.php?do=view&bugid=1732
Ahhh! Much better Shawn - now takes you back to the post where you were. And I didn't even have to red rep you
