testing needed!

[domtheknight]

I need a couple of specific things tested:

1. If any of you ported a style from LJ (etc) prior to core2's release, and have not since upgraded your style to core2 (so you're still on a customized core1 style), we need to do some specific testing in that circumstance to try to reproduce a reported bug.

2. If any of you also have openIDs, we need to look at something with comments and comment notifications.

3. I need people to look at the menus in multiple browsers to see if anyone can reproduce this issue: picture of problem (what looks like tiny chunks of menu missing). That specific photo is from Safari 4.

If you can do any or all of those things, please comment here or PM or email me and I'll give you more details.

ETA: all of these tests should be done now, thanks!

I can in theory do all of those things!

[domtheknight]

Excellent! You can get started on the browser thing first if you want; I'm writing up detailed instructions for the first two, and I can email or PM those to you if you like (let me know which).

I've tried Firefox 3, Opera 9.52, IE6, Netscape 9 and flock 0.7.14, all on XP pro sp2, and I can't reproduce that menu thing.

Thanks!

Leaving an OpenID comment so I can reply to it.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, weird thing when I tried to reply to this comment.

Instead of logging out and coming back blah blah boring cakes, I hit the More Options button, selected to make it "From: Dreamwidth user", selected to login, and passed it my credentials, and got back an error message " Your login cookie seems to have disappeared?" Tried to just reenter the credentials several times, w/o logging in at the same time.

Finally I hit to logout of my OpenID login, the backed up to the balky talkpost.bml page, and it still wouldn't take the comment w/ my account info. I've finally backed up to the entry page, and we'll see if that works.

It does not. This is still zvi. I'm posting this anonymously now, and then I'll go figure out some other way to log back into dreamwidth. This blows, man.

[zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com]

Okay, I am going to test this responding to the OpenID comment three ways. This first way is when I am not logged in as anyone.

Result? OH MY GOD, back to the login cookie nightmare. Trying to give it the zvi-likes-tv openid url.

[zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com]

Hmm, that last thing might not have been a fair test, because I gave it a bum URL one time, and it burbled about the server is not an openidentity server. Once again, I am completely logged out and responding to a comment e-mailed to my openid account.

RESULT: Got the "Your login cookie seems to have disappeared?" message, which, actually site copy has got to change to ENGLISH. Will now try it again, this time logging in as my openid identity.

[zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I am logged into my personal account and replying to the e-mail. Let's see what happens here.

RESULT? "Your login cookie seems to have disappeared?" message, and it suggests that I would like to login as zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com. While ext_21 is the backend name of my OpenID account, that is not very useful. It would be much more useful if it suggested that I wanted to be OpenID user zvi-likes-tv.livejournal.com

I am seeing if I can post this as my openid account without logging in or out.

RESULT? SUCCESS!

Testing it in Safari 3.2, Firefox 3.0 and Camino 1.6.6 running OS X Leopard, I can't find any pages whose menus behave in that fashion, not even the interests page on Rachel Maddow.

I also have Flock and Opera on this computer and will try them out too, and later tonight I can hit up Chrome, Firefox 2 and IE on WinXP.

[domtheknight]

Thanks!

On WinXP SP3, no problems with any of the following:
Chrome 1.0.154.53
Firefox 3.0.8
IE 7.0.5730.13

On Windows Vista Ultimate SP1, no problems with any of the following:
Chrome 1.0.154.53
Firefox 3.0.8
IE 8.0.6001.18702

[domtheknight]

Thank you!

[phoenix]

I can help with #1! PM works well for contacting me.

Looking at #3, hm... it looks like the link blocks are displaying wider than the menu background. I know that something to do with width on the menu changed recently -- from width:100% to width:auto or vice versa -- and perhaps it's caused this.

[domtheknight]

Hm, I remember that menu thing. I will ask the original reporter about the browser settings. Thanks!

(Also - PMd you, I think, unless I forgot to send it.)

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

Have OpenID. Also have IE7, IE8, and FireFox3. No Safari, though. But happy to test whatever I can.

[domtheknight]

Can you use this notification email (html form) to try replying to my comment? See if it works for you if you're logged in, and also if you aren't logged in.

Thanks!

Not reproducing the menu problem in WinXP/Opera 9.64 (current version).

[domtheknight]

thanks!

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Couldn't reproduce # 3 in either Safari 3.2.1 or Firefox 3.0.8 on OSX 10.4.11

[domtheknight]

Thank you!

[katieintheworld]

I tested point 3 (via searching for Rachel Maddow in interests and pulling down the read menu) in Firefox 3.0.8 and in Safari 3 and 4. Even with the beta version of 4 (for Leopard OS), I can't reproduce the bug. Has it been patched already?

[domtheknight]

The original reporter says no. I'm wondering now if it's a window size/font size issue instead of a specific browser issue.

[annalee]

If you still need assistance, I've got an openID. I also ported Disjointed over from LJ as a core1 style, but I did that today, so I'm not sure if it helps you.

[domtheknight]

Sent you a PM with some more information. Thanks!

[siljamus]

If you're still looking for help on # 2 I have a validated OpenID. PM me and I'll be happy to have a go at it.

[domtheknight]

Thanks; sent you a message.

[pgwfolc.livejournal.com]

Okay, got that to work. That's one!

But now let's see what happens when I'm logged out...

[ephemera]

I'm in category 1, if that still needs checking?

[domtheknight]

Yeah, I could use some more testing on that. What I need is for you to go into the customize area and try previewing other styles (presumably on core2). You don't need to actually switch, just load the preview and see if it looks okay.

[nekojita.livejournal.com]

Hello, do you still need any testing done?

[domtheknight]

I think I've got the OpenID stuff done, but thanks!

I can help

[rainflowermoon]

I can help, I would just need to know what to do...I've never ported a style over from LJ but would really like to :)

Re: I can help

[domtheknight]

phoenix has a guide about porting styles, which you could check out if you want to try it.

[forestgreen]

I could help with No. 2 since I have an OpenID, too.

[domtheknight]

Thanks, but I think we're done with the test. I'll go update the original entry.
