FindRetros 3.0 Feedback

[RastaLulz]

Question, saw that validate.php was added back for us - is this preferred?

It will continue to be supported for the foreseeable future; there is currently no replacement. "validate.php" was added back since some applications wouldn't follow the redirect to "/legacy/validate".

What way should we go about it if we were not to use that file to check the request? (return=1 on voting URL & a cookie?)

You should always check to see if a user has voted for redirecting them. Otherwise you open up yourself to redirecting your users to a site that is down. Setting a cookie is advised, especially for bigger hotels. I don't know if it'd actually cause issues, as I'm pretty sure those in the past were caused by hotels that would send a request to FindRetros every time they updated the user count on the client, which was a problem. You should always send the user with the "return" query arg set, as that will guarantee that they are sent back to the "return_url".

Off-topic: Who is having redirection loop issues? I was put off from enabling voting due to this, but I've just enabled it and are not having any issues. So I'm curious to what some people are using? Feel free to PM me if you are having issues.

I'd love to hear if anyone is having issues as well, feel free to post in this thread.

Can't do this new findretros Ima just take my site off cba to redo my whole forcevoting codes because now everytime a user votes they just go back to findretros and have to wait 24 hours, instead of going to /me?novote. The old one was nice and simple it's more like a copy of a minecraft ranking server with the small banners.

I assume you were just redirecting users to FindRetros without any check before? All of the validation (vote checking) is currently in place, and properly implemented scripts should work as expected.

You must be registered for see links

Doesn't let me updated my banner, just tells me it successfully updated the details and then reloads. It'll update anything except the banner.

I could use the new banner on one of my other pages tho.

My best guess is that you're getting a cached version. I'll look into it.

My ideas

• NO RECAPTCHA
• The panel headers should be on top, it confuses me (amd probably anyone else)
• Scroll to top button?
• Postback would be awesome if you get it working. You can log any vote )

• NO RECAPTCHA

FindRetros 3.0 had implemented a "no recaptcha" or otherwise known as invisible captcha. Later in the period, there were issues occurring regarding multiple browsers and @bigdawg reverted back to the standard recaptcha. Once the issue has been fixed, I assume the invisible recaptcha will return back.

Scroll to top button?

There's a already a button to scroll back to the top of the page.

I don't play retros anymore but I think this layout is way better than the previous layout, I love the blue and white colour scheme and the way you've added added preferences. There could be some more things added.

I like the consistency but I think it could do with livening up a little bit. On V2 the theme was Habbo after all, using Habbo images and bright colours, also the white background made the bigger sized banners stand out more, doesn't really do that in V3.

The banners went full retard, theres no fixing that.

The page chooser could be at the top too.

The page chooser could be at the top too.

I don't see where you could put that and have it look decent

 

[Silver]

It is so good. What about updating habbo image?

What is a page chooser?

Oh, I assume pagination.
