Known issues/phpBB3 wish list

[Robocopter87]

Of note: Today, for the first time (since the move?) I clicked on the unread icon for this thread and it took me to the first unread post rather than the top of the current page.

That little orange folded page icon probably accounts for 3/4 of my clicks on the site.

My f5 is getting worn down.

[Mr. Flay]

Personally, I'd like a link to the forum main page at the bottom. That's usually where I want to go when I'm done reading a thread, rather than just 'Return to Help'.

Would it be possible to copy something like: 'Board index › Administration › Help!', as well as the other stuff that you mentioned?

Uhm, it is down there and has been since Day One, I swear to gods. Bottom left, same line as the "Subscribe Topic" link... you're not the first person to miss it.

[ReaperCharlie]

Yeah, from her post it looks like she missed the Board Index link, but if I'm not mistaken, I think she'd like to have the whole tree, not just the index...?

i.e. instead of '< Return to Help!' it'd be 'Board index > Administration > Help!', just below the Reply button. Doable?

I would certainly like that too, if it's not too much fuss.

So it is! How did that get there... you're a crafty one, Flay

[StrangerCoug]

How are the dice coming along? I get by with random.org in The 300, but that game would be much faster if players didn't have to wait for me...

[HackerHuck]

I'm not sure if this is the right thread, but I'm really hoping to get the option to show the first post on all pages.

[Nobody Special]

Not sure if this is the proper place to ask, but does a Game Mod have the capability to disallow emoticons in a thread?

[Nobody Special]

Also, (and this could be an issue with the browser I'm using here), the Contact icons for each poster have shifted a bit to the right.

[No, I've never heard of it, either.]

Probably a browser thing; they're shifted in IE, too.

As for the other part, I don't think so. Is there a particular reason you need them banned?

[Nobody Special]

I have since learned that this is (somehow) a Private Label version of IE; so that explains that.

And yes, I'm going to be running txtMafia, and it would be useful to turn off emoticons so that they show as

Code: Select all

;)

rather than -- for ease of character-counting, as well as to preserve txt-like flavor for the game. No big deal if it can't easily be done, though.

[Mr. Flay]

It would be non-trivial, I fear.

As a game mod, you SHOULD be able to edit any posts where people forget and disable emoticons in that thread, though, if that helps. Just put it in big letters in your rules and you should be fine.

, though, if that helps. Just put it in big letters in your rules and you should be fine.

The bolded part: I'm sure you meant something else, as what I bolded is precisely what I want.

But since it's non-trivial, it's moot. I'll just work around it.

[Mr. Flay]

What I meant was, you can disable them in any given post, so if somebody forgets, you should be able to edit that post, in your thread.

Make more sense now?

[Nobody Special]

Oh, well, yeah. (Sorry.)

[Vi]

Something that might be more trivial--

On the old site, you could tell what each person's screen name on AIM or MSN or whatever was just by looking at where the buttons attached to each person's profile linked to. Now you can't. Please fix this so I may

stalk people with renewed efficiency

sta--

...um, that actually IS why I want it back.

[hitogoroshi]

It's only one click to display it in the little pop-up window. The username is in brackets. Seems like only one click is not that much effort for stalking?

Please note that you need AOL Instant Messenger installed to use this.

Oh. I still felt really creepy for clicking it though. (I know, I know...)

Hello. I've never put anything on the wish list nor really cared, but I thought I would add this suggestion. Would it be possible to insert some coding so that when you quote a post it automatically includes the name of the poster and the posts number? I manually add it now but I think this would be awesome. Examples below:

etc. etc.

[Mr. Flay]

If you quote a post from the button on the right edge, it should do the name part automatically. Number is a good idea, but it may take some time to integrate, if it's even possible (post numbers are kind of calculated on the fly, at least for now).

I'm back in town. It'll take me a day or seven to get back up to speed, but if there's anything I should know about, bold or quote it for me.

[ReaperCharlie]

ReaperCharlie requires CHOCOLATE CAKE. And a BATTLE AXE, if you have one and are so inclined.

The time is currently 4:33 pm, EST. (My profile is aware that I'm on EST.) Timestamps appear to be messed up.

[jmj3000]

What ether said.

[Ether]

Check out the timestamp disparity in the much-larger-than-normal Who's Online list, too.
