Post what you want (use the facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/212064285475054/) group if you are somehow locked out ) like suggesting another board, name changes, password reset, lock a thread, additional PM space, see an error to be corrected or whatever.

1. The text on the top frame of the thread (View First Unread, Thread Tools, Search, etc ...) is currently gray on the gray frame and barely visible.

2. If you go to your Settings page (User CP) or look at a subforum, you see the little blue arrow next to the thread name (for threads with new posts)? It currently links to the first NEW post. On the old forum, it linked to the first UNREAD post, which I thought was very helpful for navigating to the posts you actually want to read in the thread. Can this be changed?

Also, thank you to Hulky and Mel for setting this up. I offered to chip in some money to help with forum costs, and that offer still stands.

Do you think it's which of the following:
- Cookie problem
- Remember Me feature
- Session Time out

_____
The cookie page looks like the vBulletin support forum (thread discussing something similar) suggests. They have another suggestion that one of the three complaining says helped that I see how to do.

or is it Session Time Out because that is currently set at 900 seconds of inactivity. Is it not remembering you around that time or something?

Hulky
04-25-2016, 06:22 PM
If someone could get rough amounts of rep everyone has that would be awesome.

Preferably memberlist -> sort by rep -> copy pasta -> post the list

Then like person x has zyx rep and then we can guesstimate between the gaps. If that gets done I'll go through each account and update it if that's want people want.

EDIT: Also if someone does this if you could post it all in another thread in the announcement board that would be awesome.

I actually like everyone starting with 0 reputation. Rep became so meaningless once everyone got so high. It would be fun to see how people use it if it means something again.

I have fond memories of rep wars.

Mar
04-25-2016, 06:26 PM
We can see our own rep by going to "settings", it's right next to "Latest Rep Received"

People can just s/s their rep page and post it here, I trust nobody will lie about it, it's just rep after all.

But it would be more fun to start over, that's for sure

Hulky
04-25-2016, 06:29 PM
I was initially thinking to make the list of previous top 50 or whatever random number then give like +5 per position. That way it keeps the old ranks but some have the power to accelerate it a bit. No one would be past the first few ranks.

Just an idea. Also with the post counts being updated people with higher PC have more rep power.

I can also edit rep titles and set the threshold to get the title. So if we get the old order and get rough amounts of how much people have, we can readjust immortal to like 2mil rep or whatever the hell and the lower ranks increased. Regardless what the community wants I think it would be a good idea to at least record the info in case we want to change back down the road.

Everything looks amazing. Excellent job to all those involved.

One thought: Maybe add some length to the forum image at the top so that you can see the tool bar at the top of page that says "welcome, username Notifications etc. And maybe just make it black above the image so the white text is not blending in with picture.

Thank you again for the forums.

Or maybe just a small/subtle badge or icon for everyone that came from the original forums for when BR's game comes out and becomes an online sensation. :/

There is a button right under the Activity Feed that says New Posts. I think that serves pretty much the same function, i just displays older threads as well. I also think you can edit what "new" means in your settings, and it will display posts from the time frame you want.

sorry missed yea just renamed "what's new" to "activity feed" since that's really what it was going to.

Could make it go to new posts and replace new post link to activity

Second question. When i click full site on my mobile, i'm completly clueless on how to go back on the mobile version. I usually end up erasing my history/cache etc...

I'm sorry if these were asked and answered before. I did not search the topic...

I was kinda disappointed rep in not in the mobile template. I keep going to reach for it myself.. This will be one of those if someone finds a way or wants to modify the mobile code sure we can add it.. There might be a plugin for it too out there.. I would also like this so I'll keep looking for an answer.

Regarding go back! If you're on the full site, at the very bottom of the page is a drop down menu on the left.. You can select Test Style (white) or Default Mobile (black not working as good as I like) and go right back to mobile version.

I ran out of PM space and had to mass delete. If anyone needs more PM space (would like to save PMs, and needs space for like Mafia or privately talks to individuals through PMs [some do without posting]) request a specific amount of space you'd like to have. I think default is something like 50 or 75. Can go more, but afraid of defaulting higher and some bot just hitting us all up like the couple that did it on the original forums.

Setup a donation paypal account. If we are all into this TOGETHER then might as well fund forums TOGETHER.

I don't like it when people hang money over my head. Just really pisses me off. I don't need any handouts.

Or threatening me with a ban, if enough people want me to be banned then just do it. I know I was being disrespectful about nazi bs and was basically just trolling because I don't care about a thread with hawt chicks or being able to curse.

I apologize for being childish. I do appreciate all this.

05-12-2016, 10:33 PM
Wow....

How about you tell us the total cost monthly or yearly. I don't want to insult you. I was being serious too.

EDIT: I was thinking a donation account that showed a total cost for the year. And even setup a goal meter so we know when we reached the mark.

Hulky
05-12-2016, 10:46 PM
I've said costs before, but trying not to "put it over your head" I don't repeat it. I never asked for any money. I have put in $624.47, plus auto-renew for future costs or add on costs like Chat.
http://s32.postimg.org/qbos75gud/Screen_Shot_2016_05_12_at_7_36_50_PM.png

The smarter thing would be to wait until the new game gets to a point that it could use funds. Like a new site, hosting, server costs. Future forum costs include chat which is between free (and buggy, despite hours of fixing) to $50 a month. Likely going to go with the $40 one time option. Next hosting cost is recurring in something like 3 years, and domain in 10 years these are the two costs to GoDaddy in the s/s.

I still don't want money for these costs. The future game costs when it gets to that point (and things like recently just distract/piss off the people trying to do it), then Matt will probably set up some sort of donation thing for funding.

Zoticus
05-12-2016, 11:23 PM
That is a bit more than I thought you were paying. I guess I missed where you posted about this before.

Now I feel like a jackass. I was thinking everyone donating $10 or $20, but I'm not sure if we would reach the goal. Unless everyone donated. I have been in big clans before where everyone donated monthly to pay for TeamSpeak, 4-5 Servers, Forums, and Website etc. That's the route I was trying to take with this.
