  • Improved gallery


    Working on...
  • A spoiler tag
  • Code button (button is there but no image)


    Resolved suggestions
  • Bullet tag
  • Random picture repeats
  • fixed smiley text for :x and
  • Icons with user titles

capristo

May 11, 2009, 2:22 pm
Ahh yeah the bullet closing thing is annoying. For numbered lists, replace </list> with </list> for bullets replace it with </list:u> except with square brackets obviously
Then if you use an ordered list you might have to disable smilies too or the will be replaced with image

Somagu

May 11, 2009, 4:16 pm
Okay, thanks for clarifying.

capristo

May 16, 2009, 4:16 pm
how about some more tags besides just SPOILER

chaostrom

How about a SARCASM tag.

double post alert is a great idea thanks.. I\'ll work on fonts too

Ernomouse

May 18, 2009, 5:06 pm
I don\'t think adding fonts is a good idea. It might make things look messy, and it\'s kind of useless, though cool...

slob

Judging by the posts on here there should be a <homoerotic></> tag.

Random Pictures sometimes shows twice the same picture - can you change that?

It would be nice to be able to quote more than one post at a time.

Pictures are fixed indeed, and spoiler tag is a good idea

EDIT: when I click the Spoiler tag in the quote box, it opens in the original post. While funny, I don\'t think that\'s meant to be Sorry if I give you too much work, but you\'re doing great.

EDIT II: It seems to have fixed itself... Strange, I\'m going to double-post for research purpose.

EDIT III: So far, it seems the bug only \'works\' if you didn\'t edit your post. Editing and saving fixes it.

EDIT IV: Refreshing after editing the post re-activates the bug.

capristo

Aug 10, 2009, 6:26 pm
lol Eagle. yeah there is only allowed to be one spoiler box per topic right now. That includes in other posts / inside quotes. It\'s a simple bug, just tedious to fix.

I definetely don\'t like the new signatures design. They should be somehow separated from the actual message... Using IvanBlack I

capristo

That\'s what I was referring to about the deleted CSS This is what the silver theme looks like right now. THe other themes will soon be updated to look similar

Ernomouse

Yeah, I figured this out just now... Sorry!

capristo

no problem

I wouldn\'t be surprised if he only ever used the link to the newest post in a topic rather than trying to go to the first unread post in a topic. It would explain a lot.

Anyway, we have need of a code tag. First of all, it\'s impossible to \'draw\' correctly with ASCII without it or a monospaced font like Courier as hopefully will get noticed when people give my depiction of two different swords a scan. Secondly, it could be helpful in the Programming forum because spacing can be not only important to keep straight what block of text does what, but also because certain languages *require* you follow some spacing rules in order for text to function.

*cough* Somagu has informed me we *do* have a code tag. However, it isn\'t graphically represented so I humbly suggest that get fixed.

capristo

Sep 11, 2009, 3:55 pm
Oh, I did forget the code button. I\'ll add that asap

Eagle V

Sep 13, 2009, 11:04 am
Could you make the spoiler somewhat less hard? I was thinking something like the bay12 - forum (http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php), the spoiler tag is different for each theme and looks like a link.

capristo

Sep 14, 2009, 7:20 pm
I\'m not sure what you mean Eagle... my spoiler looks like a link too. There is a bug which only allows one spoiler per page but I just have to fix that.

SPOILER ALERT. Click here to see text.

Eagle V

To me, it looks like a red block with white text, and when extended it\'s a huge red block with lots of white text.

A merging function for us mods please?

In the spirit of not always using the black theme, would it be possible to make an IvanCrimson and/or IvanMarine theme? I\'d like them to look like the black theme, but with red colours and blue colours respectively.

Somagu

May I suggest a magical mushroom smiley in honor of Cerumen\'s discoveries?

Additionally, I suggest in addition to the titles under a user\'s name, icons from IVAN, if possible?

Thirded. Because Izzy can\'t.

capristo

Oct 6, 2009, 3:37 am
Fourthed.

For the icons next to the title, I suppose you mean for the regular titles (e.g. kobold) have a picture of a kobold.
What about for the custom titles? I could be Richel Decos but what about some of the others...

Somagu

Oct 6, 2009, 4:23 am
Either defined by the user or still just relevant to the post count.

4zb4

Custom made ones for special titles?

I\'ll make the magical mushroom once I get home, if it doesn\'t appear by that.

:x should not be an angry face.

chaostrom

Nov 26, 2009, 2:20 am
Erno did change that, but then the forum layout being changed apparently undid it.

capristo

Nov 26, 2009, 4:39 pm
What should it be? And what would be good text for the angry face?

BDR

Nov 26, 2009, 5:17 pm
How about ?

Somagu

Nov 26, 2009, 7:15 pm
:x is nothing currently reflected by the graphic smileys, at the moment it\'s kind of an inside joke, for lack of better wording, on IRC.

capristo

Nov 28, 2009, 8:41 pm
Well, that was an easy enough fix. :x

I just updated Somagu\'s original post with all of the new ideas. I\'ll get working on them when I have time.
Erno ever get a chance to make that magical mushroom smiley? The animation would be hard.

capristo

How so...

Ernomouse

Jun 6, 2010, 8:03 pm
When I copy paste something from notepad, tabs vanish. The writingbox shows them, but you can\'t type them even with ctrl+tab and they aren\'t visible in the final post. This probably could be worked around by using code mode, but I love using tabs without it.

capristo

Jun 6, 2010, 8:41 pm
That\'s a problem with HTML whitespace, I don\'t think there\'s anything I can do about that.

Ernomouse

Stuff in code tags don\'t show up on topic review, which is pretty annoying when you\'re trying to use information put in them. Mind fixing that?

Ischaldirh

Jul 4, 2010, 6:23 am
When you get messages nothing really lights up. You kinda have to actually look at the messages bar, and have it register mentally that there\'s a (1) next to it. It\'d be nice if the messages bar turned yellow or something when you have unread messages.

Somagu

Jul 4, 2010, 7:00 am
Fix editing posts into stickies and announcements for mods, I don\'t like bugging Erno for petty matters.

Ernomouse

Jul 4, 2010, 6:56 pm
Oh yeah, about that... Either I\'ve forgotten how to use my magical superpowers, or then I\'ve lost them completely; There\'s nothing to be seen behind the admin bar... Not that I\'d needed them, but I remember being able to do stuff before. Was that before we moved to your software?

capristo

Jul 5, 2010, 2:05 pm
Yes I\'m working on updating the software right now and I\'m aware of those last 3 Somagu you can bug me for now if you want, I won\'t mind

Ernomouse

Aug 15, 2010, 7:40 am
The forum message system is really buggy and cubersome to use. Could you please do something about it?

1) Change the recipient selection so that it gives suggestions based on what you type. At least make it alert if even one of the recipients have been typed wrong.
2) Now I got an e-mail about a forum message I supposedly received. I can\'t find it from the forum... It was in an old message chain... Weird that it wasn\'t highlighted.

In overall, many of the \"bugs\" I notice are actually not bugs, but because I fail to notice things like this.

capristo

I noticed this also when I logged in from another computer. I was going to post it here but I totally forgot lol.

What do you mean? Are you not seeing this? If not, what browser/OS?

Ernomouse

Nov 22, 2011, 6:12 am
I'm quite sure they appeared only after I logged in. It was firefox in a hotel lobby.

Ischaldirh

Nov 22, 2011, 6:41 am
I just logged out to check it, and found it. It's a little odd that you have to go to the forum to log in though; could you place a link to login under the welcome tab?

Ernomouse

Nov 27, 2011, 7:55 pm
Amm... This is a tiny thing, about the appearance of the forum. If you hover your mouse over a name, a box appears around it. The box is half way over the next line, which in my case says Master mine stomper. You might want to move the second line away a bit or resize the box?

capristo

Nov 27, 2011, 8:33 pm
It looks fine to me, probably browser-specific. I haven't cleaned up the CSS for viewing topics yet but that will eventually happen

Somagu

Nov 27, 2011, 8:35 pm
Looks fine for me as well.

Ernomouse

Nov 28, 2011, 7:23 am
Reely? Argh, I should stop pointing out every tiny detail I spot.

capristo

Nov 28, 2011, 4:29 pm
No, it's useful

Ernomouse

Nov 28, 2011, 6:52 pm
Ah! Spotted another one right away, as I lost my message when I tried going advanced while editing the previous message... Do you want me to post this in the bugs thread also?

I'm using MacOS Snow Leopard 10.6.x and Chrome 15.0.x.x

Some of the forum status icons also seem to be missing. The amount of overlap depends on the status icon... If there is an icon, the overlap seems to be worse.

Figured out how to and then took a screenshot for your convenience.

Somagu

Nov 29, 2011, 1:28 am
Aha! Chrome. The one browser I didn't test.

JoKe

chaostrom

You can disable them already. There should be a little checkbox in advance mode.

Ernomouse

Dec 8, 2011, 6:35 am
I think he means from the whole forums so that they don't bother him.

JoKe

Dec 8, 2011, 11:24 pm
Yeah, I meant every emoticon instead of just my own posts.

Eagle V

Could you make it so when you quote a message, it gets addressed to the person you're talking with, and not to the person who sent the original message? I regularly quote myself in Battlestar PM's, and it puts me as recipient. I've had a lot of messages sent to myself instead of the player.
