Tile over lapping issue

[Alexqw]

@meetdilip Did you ever resolve this problem? We're seeing this on our test install, and we're currently running latest master.

Out plugins are pretty normal IMO.

• nodebb-plugin-sso-google
• nodebb-widget-essentials
• nodebb-plugin-mentions
• nodebb-plugin-dbsearch
• nodebb-plugin-sso-github
• nodebb-plugin-markdown
• nodebb-plugin-twitter
• nodebb-plugin-topic-badges
• nodebb-plugin-color
• nodebb-plugin-youtube
• nodebb-plugin-desktop-notifications
• nodebb-plugin-soundpack-default

We have no sidebar, and it happens across browsers, across systems, and regardless if we're logged in or not.

Any thoughts?

I changed sidebar position from bottom to global sidebar. That solved the issue for me. But lately at times, the site fails to load completely and I have to refresh it. I too am waiting for 0.5x release. Have a lot in my wish list. Specially the front end loading issues and spam protection. We need a q&a plugin for registration.

@meetdilip, where did you go to change the position? Operating mobile presently, and if it's going to be a job for the Desktop I'll tackle it later.

@Albus ACP > Themes > Widgets. You'll need a desktop to drag and drop the widgets though. As it doesn't work on mobile.

@a_5mith, thanks!
I'll play with it later today then. Hopefully set up some nice widgets afterwards.

[meetdilip]

@Albus , it is just drag and drop. Quite easy.

Having configured a sidebar seems to have corrected my overlap issue as well.
Though the issue of Firefox zooming out from the tiles while Chrome fits them to screen is ever-present.

[a_5mith]

@Albus Got a screenshot of the zooming issue? Or a link.

[A Former User]

@a_5mith, Not dropping a link publicly, as this is just a test environment, but I'll chat it to you.

Edit: Yes, I know. Tons of paranoid secrecy. Work computer full of identifying bookmarks.

@Albus

Looking good for me. Firefox 30.0 btw.

[A Former User]

@a_5mith I was running FF 25. I always forget that the stations here are Deep Frozen with slightly out of date software
Let me do an update and re-check.

[a_5mith]

@Albus That should solve it.

[A Former User]

@a_5mith, you're exactly right, issue solved.

Something regarding NodeBB's use of websockets, if I remember correctly?
I believe one of the admins mentioned a potential future update to websockets would allow for further backwards compatibility with older browsers, now that I think about it. Thanks for the help - sort of ashamed that didn't cross my mind on it's own, however.

[a_5mith]

@Albus Yeah socket 1.0 should help. Apparently, but Julians waiting for an issue to be fixed.

@a_5mith The joys of working with a platform under development?
Things are continually improving and evolving though - quite exciting.

[a_5mith]

@Albus I trust the devs enough to be running latest on a live environment, but I've had (mostly) fantastic opinions on it, so it's time and effort well spent, plus thanks to a few fantastic users on here, I've got my next 10 months of hosting for free.

[A Former User]

@a_5mith, if my users weren't so stubborn and skittish of change, I'd be doing the same. They're about to shift from a highly customized MyBB install, so I figure one major forum-shock should be enough. Especially since I'm still learning the platform.

Yes, I saw that referral link. Had you thought of including a $10 Promo code in your signature as well to really sell the deal?

[a_5mith]

@Albus You pay the hosting bill, change it however you like. That's what I did anyway, I went from this:

to http://35hz.co.uk

But I made them slightly happier by adding the lightbulb icon below the page width changing button. So they weren't too shocked,
