Re: The New Forum Software!
 

I've been informed that the admins were considering removing the hot-topic feature completely, so setting it very high (like 100k) is an easy way to accomplish that. I'm fairly sure it's intentional.

Note: Not that it's high priority but Ratings do seem a bit odd, maybe ? I have been a 4 for quite a while, I was a 2 when I logged on today and by the time I finished my first post, I was a 1 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif My dominion is weak !

The riddle's solution is a simple one: The original Ratings did not survive the forum transition. So all Ratings are new and fresh, and I think we have a joker going around rating everyone 1 star. (At least that's my explanation.:D)

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

To whomever changed the font size (Richard?), making it smaller, I have but one thing to say: THANK YOU !!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Yes, a heartfelt thank you from me, too.

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

i really like being able to see who posted the Last post on a thread, especially for sticky threads.

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

BTW, in case folks hadn't noticed: contrary to the notice that was originally on the forum (and has since been removed/rewritten), you do NOT need to log off and log in again to get notification of PMs. A simple refresh (just like before the forum upgrade) is sufficient. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to the good folks at Shrapnel for all their hard work in providing this upgrade, and for their ongoing task of ironing out all the kinks in the new code.

Cheers!

I love the fact that people can post attachments now -- this is also great!

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Here's a question about something that seems to be more difficult in the new Version: searching.
It seems that the search results are printed listing each and every *post* which contains the terms required in the field. Thus my seach in the subject only for "magic duel" was spammed to kingdom come, and even "duel" alone was pages and pages. Is there a way to ask for a search in which it lists only one "hit" per *thread* (instead of: per post)?
thank you

Re: The New Forum Software!
 

Yes, the font is now 2mm high :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( An no wonder, look at this EVIL stylesheet:
<font class="small">Code:</font><hr /><pre>BODY,P,TABLE,TD,TR {
font-size: 11px;
font-family: sans-serif, arial, verdana;
color: 000000;
}</pre><hr />
Ouch! Never, ever, under any condition, specify font sizes in px. It is the only totally surefire way of making the pages unreadable for somebody. Could you please kill that line? Or replace it with font-size: small; or something like that.

Thank you.

Alternatively, could we use some of the other stylesheets in the directory (threads//stylesheets)? I notice you can set this from the preferences, only the choice is non-existent. I don't care if something breaks http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
