Known issues/phpBB3 wish list

[Johoohno]

I miss the quick link from each player's profile to their wiki page too (but I guess that's on the to do-list too)!

I was also set to Mountain rather than Pacific DST; I corrected and didn't think enough of it to mention it (DST is a worthless thing in the first place, so I just... never mind).

I also use (if that's the proper word) the View Count thing. Not the end of the world if it's not brought back, though.

Why does a preview have to be automatic? Surely it should be an option which we already have. It was a pain in the ass, especially during marathon days. I would prefer not to have to be forced to view a preview every time I use a full post. Or am I misreading what is being asked?

You know the Preview button next to the "Submit" and "Save" buttons on the posting screen? They want that moved onto the quick reply. The issue is when you hit "Full Editor" on the quick reply, it opens the posting screen without previewing your post.

ah ok, thats fair enough.

Here's an incredibly stupid request but the forums rules and guidelines didn't seem to make the conversion trip. It should be easy to put the sticky back up on the forum (especially since you can cut and paste from the archives.)

They're up in the News forum. I'll stick a link in the global. Trying to avoid having more than one global announcement up at once. (Actually, I'm hoping to replace the use of global announcements with an "Important News" link feature in the page header, eventually.)

Truncated posts

- We underestimated how big our biggest posts were; some posts over 100,000 bytes got truncated.

All data is still available!

mith is working on a copy scheme.

Fix in progress.

That's a feature, not a bug. Leave it please.

It's low priority, but some of the buttons, like "next" and "previous" for page navigation, are very tiny now.

That's how it is. At a guess (Looking at phpBB code), I'd say that it would not be possible to make JUST those buttons bigger.

If you want them bigger, use the fontsize changer.

When i send a mass PM (massprod), it goes out of my outbox and into my sentbox as soon as one person picks it up. Is there a way to change it so that I can see who has picked it up and who hasn't?

I think you'll have to send it separately in order for that to happen.

Is it really that hard? Copy/Paste the mass prod, thentype in each person's username in their own PM.

Troll wonders why we no be displaying in the forums how many times each thread has been viewed at this point? Troll makes use of that from time to time to get an idea about how much a given thread is being watched when no one be posting. It no be precise but at least it gave some information. Troll would love to have that back if possible.

Interesting, I wouldn't have thought anybody was using that. I commented out the Views Count code to lower our DB hits and because it seemed useless for our forum (most places that love that are SEO-optimization/commercial sites, popularity contests, etc. I think I'd like to use that space for thread starter, eventually, but if lots of people miss it I don't mind restoring it.

I remember seeing a forum that displayed thread views (or maybe thread replies, idk), but when you clicked the number it showed you a list of who had posted in that thread and how many times. I think that would be handy to quickly get a game post count without having to look at each player in iso.

I believe that that's a built in feature of the vBulletin forum software. I have actually considered adding that to my View in Isolation MOD since it is a related feature. I agree that it would be handy. Good idea.

[Nobody Special]

Confirming it's a vBulletin thing. And very handy.

[Porochaz]

I forgot about this until now, but the multi quote idea that was going round, so you didnt have to copy paste everything.

[animorpherv1]

Flay, you spelt Sepia wrong in the OP.

MafSepai, lol.

I'm not sure if this is related to a known issue or not, but the total post statistic in profiles is not tracking new posts made since the move, it seems. I saw at least one account that is still listed as a tourist with 0 posts even though they are actively participating in a game.

Testing... EDIT: as it turns out, that is correct. This post did not increase my post count.

[mith]

Two of the roles were set to not increment post count. They should be updating now.

I'll resynch at some point, but when I do it's only going to count posts on the active forum unless we get a fix in first.

[ReaperCharlie]

Another problem, I think:

Posts used to only counted towards one's post count when you posted in-game content, but now... I think it's flipped or something. Might wanna check on that.

Edit: LOLWUT. You were already talking about that? 0_o

[mith]

Could someone with normal permissions make sure to check their post count before and after they make a in-game post? (And could someone do the same here?)

[Porochaz]

test

[Porochaz]

Both added 1 to my count.
