[WEBSITE v2] MusicBee website and forum redesign

[Steven]

Personally i dont think its a good idea to make the forum localised as that signals to people that help is available without any effort to ask questions in english - I just think there simply are not enough active forum members for more than that.
Having the web-site itself localised is great though and i really appreciate that boroda74 did that translations.

I still don't see the new colour palette for choosing font colours.

It is done now. Also with some other requested changes.

Thanks for implementing hitting 'enter' in the forum search bar instead of having to click the icon.

Steven, AvikB if possible please still update the localization forum, without automatic change the language on the website\forum (only manual change of profile as it is now).

Hello. It sems like logging out a user after 60 minutes is a default forum behavior (at least it was a couple weeks ago). Well, when a forum user is writing a post for more than 60 minutes and then clicks "Submit", they are immediately logged out, and everyting that was written is gone. If it wasn't for my habit to Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C everything before submitting, I would definitely throw the laptop against the wall and never ever visit the forum again. Going through registration hell just to submit a bug report is already a PITA, please don't make the experience even worse.

a) You can always login with the 'always stay logged in' option enabled. Or change the number of minutes to stay logged in.
b) Personally I wouldn't want to read a post that took 60 minutes to create. A clear and concise bug report (or any other post) should take no more than ten minutes to create.

I've seen this kind of complaints several times. I agree 60 mins won't be enough if they are writing a detailed bug report while testing, and yet users won't pay much attention to that setting when they were logging in. How about increasing the default value to 300 minutes?

hmm sorry for the late reply. it seems the email notifications are not working properly again 

as for the 60 minute login time. it is SMF default. I have no intention of changing it. It is a security measurement against user who are not very tech savvy and logs in from public pc.

OK. Then can it alert them before logging them out to make a copy of what they have typed?

[AvikB]

I don't think that is possible. unless i misunderstood your request. :/

[redwing]

Then how can they not lose what they typed?

[AvikB]

How are they even loosing it in the first place? You mean a way to save the typed text when they close the window?

[redwing]

I'm not sure, but it sounds like when they click on save after more than 60 mins, they get logged out, losing all that have been typed.

[AvikB]

well obviously this is a security feature placed by SMF. I am afraid it is not possible without modifying core SMF files. 
Also it is a security risk to have the user input stored in the browser.
