[SITE UPDATE] Merged Red Tracker

RiotKrylhos··7 votes·2,557 views

Greetings,

We recently rolled out a merged view for the Redtracker. You can now view vBulletin Rioter posts as well as Rioter posts within the "Community Beta" platform. We built this to provide a single place to find Rioter posts within both locations.

Let us know what you think!

EDIT: Link to redtracker (it's also on the side)

Can you give me an example? I tried a few links just now and they seemed to take me to the right spot. Was it a vBulletin link or a CB link?

I just noticed this as well. I was able to click the first two links on the page (your second and third post in this thread) but can't click anything below that. I'm also unable to preview the post on any of the other lines. It doesn't matter if it's vBulletin or CB, both behave the same way.

I was able to click the links of the first four posts in the red tracker, which were both of your posts in this thread and some things in esports, but I could neither preview or link to any of the other links.

Actually, I could also click on Magus' comment in esports down the page somewhat, but I can't click on anything else.

Hey there, Hellioning!

Does this still happen if you open up the Redtracker, and refresh the page with Ctrl + F5 (cache refresh)?

What browser do you have, and what version? You find out this information by looking for an 'About YourBrowser' option in your browser's preferences.

Does it matter if they are vBullitin or Community Beta links?

Are you clicking on the blue text, or on the box/bar that it sits in? Do you get results clicking on either?

Cache refreshing does not change anything. This is only a problem with vBulletin links; everything from the community beta seems to work fine. I do not get results clicking on either the box or the link. Also, while I can see the Riot comments to this post, I cannot click on either the link or the box for the original post.

I am using Firefox 27.0.1, assuming I'm looking in the right place.

Thank you for your quick response! Looking into this now - it looks like we have a lead.

they were vbulliten links, which are still not working after a restart of my browser. I use firefox in particular for my browser.

If you click on 'Firefox' > 'Help' > 'About Firefox' in the upper-left corner of your browser, what version does it say you have?

currently running firefox 27.0.1

I am able to click community beta links and go to them, Vbulliten links do not work however. Neither clicking the blue text or the box result in anything happening.

doing a cache refresh did not result in any changes.

Hey everyone,

We resolved the bug that was causing the experiences you have reported.

Thanks for your patience and working with us to get it resolved!

Won´t help if half of the redposts are on reddit though. Why don´t your employees support your own platforms, prioritizing it clearly above reddit - especially for more official stuff like amas for upcoming changes and such?

So we can see more red?

Cool

Hey, just a note about the new red tracker. It's goood, but it would be better if red replies worked properly. ^^

To be more specific, red posts that are from the main forums (but being displayed in the Community Beta red tracker) show up with quotes properly attributed where applicable, but the red posts that are from the Community Beta site auto-quote their immediate parent, with the quote misattributed to the poster that started the thread rather than the poster that wrote the parent.

Edit: Also, on an iPhone, the entirety of the top red post is squashed into just the area occupied by the third column in the layout where it should just have the community name/link. The area occupied by the first two columns isn't the formatted gray of the table with the posts, it's background gray, and the gray and text of the post is squashed like putty into an area it clearly doesn't fit, making it take up the vertical space of three posts. Every other post is fine, it's just the top one that screws up.

Thanks for the reports. We'll look into these.

Looks like the squished first-item happens when you shrink your browser down just a bit too.

RiotKrylhos1 votes

Squished first row bug should be resolved now.

Thanks!

The squished first row is gone, but Riot names that are all one word can overflow the first column.

I miss the functionality of being able to 'open' the red posts from the vbulletin forums. I have to open new tabs for those instead of being able to read them on the devtracker page like the posts on the beta forums.

Perhaps devtracker should direct to the new redtracker. As it is devtracker is kind of redundant (although I do prefer its layout to either redtracker layout) because devtracker only catches what happens in the normal forums whereas redtracker gets both the normal and beta forums.

I like it too. Quite handy ^^
