Site Updates

[DjCiD]

nope no problem, I just thought the puter could read my mind on where I wanted them moved too, guess Gob hasn't installed that update yet ...

[lowzeewee]

I thought we were supposed to be sent back to our post in the thread after we post? ???

If you'd use the preview button more often, then there's no need to be send back to your post in the thread. I like the way it is now. Once posten I can click the next thread if I wanted to, instead of first going back to the forum, then clicking the next thread.

[Nyarlathotep]

Better yet, if you check your profile, there is an option where you can choose to be send back to the topic after you've posted. It just seems to be disabled by default.

[lowzeewee]

Yeah,I toggled it on already. :( The forum is still being worked on,so hopefully it will come ASAP. :)

Btw,JackLeaf,why are you in eastern europe now? ???

[Gobalopper]

I think there is also an option in the Additional Options drop down while you are writing your post that will override that setting. So if you are always going back then that is probably checked.

For those of you that were having problems with the pin not being set where you clicked could you try again? I made some changes to the javascript and I think it is working properly again. Again you may need to do a ctrl-refresh to get the new version.

I find it takes me back to the thread (top of page) and not my post. ???

I think F5 is the same as control refresh? (R?)

for people only wanting to press one button.

[Gobalopper]

No ctrl-refresh won't use the cache. Just hitting refresh probably won't.

Not sure why it does that, the link should have an anchor in it with a #new and that anchor is at the bottom of the page.

[Andrew]

hmm, I am going to check that with this post then, then put the link and save it.

It takes me to the new post when i go into a thread that says new... but not when I post.

it doesnt hvae the # it has .  so maybe that is the problem?

[Anathema]

I just noticed that the recent posts page is no longer working. Why?

[lowzeewee]

How come there are all those funny characters in posts on some threads?

[Nyarlathotep]

No ctrl-refresh won't use the cache. Just hitting refresh probably won't.

Correct.

Would it be possible to divide 'Britain' into England, Wales and Scotland? Or have a choice of being British or otherwise? EWS and I were talking earlier, we'd just rather be thought of as Scottish than British.

[Andrew]

Now I am convinced that there is a coding problem when moving threads as Vanguard just moved a topic to emperor board that should have went to the dungeon. (at least it is locked)

And the go to posted post may still be wrong with the .new

[Gobalopper]

Are you sure he didn't just hit move without selecting a board? Since Emperor is the first board that would seem to make more sense to me.

And that isn't likely Dust scout because the list of countries is taken from an ISO list of countries and their country codes. I don't think Scotland and such are actually countries are they?

[Timenn]

Actually they fall under 1 "country". But it is like you put some nations together, and make a new one of it. If you ask a Welsh if he is from England, you got him angry :)

They are quite sensitive for such things there.

Though the British have one thing in common, they are weird :P

[Atomic Mitten]

Very much like the Dutch ! lol ;)

True, but I only say that as djcid did the same thing earlier. (send to the wrong board, which was emp strategy which would be next in line at time after emperor?)

[Nyarlathotep]

oh oh...

*hides behind a rock*

*whispers to Gob: "delete that post and this one too"...*

[Dunenewt]

Well Wales was conquered by England, Scotland just became part of Britain because we had the same king, we would have conquered them anyway  :P

[Andrew]

I notice that some members as a position under members list have member as a position.

Is this just the Ichwan Bedwine?

When ordered by position:

Members from page 40[1/2 way]-43 do not have the members position.

What's up with that? (even some of the older members don't have it while new members do.)

[Gobalopper]

Well for DjCiD being a moderator in the Emperor board the first board he would have listed is the Emperor Strategy board.

Ichwan Bedwine was the old list of people who could view the Dungeon and doesn't exist anymore. A member is just someone who has over a certain number of posts. I don't know the exact number off the top of my head.

[Andrew]

Atomic Mitten has 1544 posts, and is not a member same with several other people with over 1000 posts, yet some new members with 0 posts have it.

Whenever you get it figured out. :)

[scotsman]

I may live in New Zealand now but SCOTLAND will always be a separate country in its own right.

There are of course certain ties, which I wont mention. I might get angry and reach for my double edged broad sword. ;)

[Gobalopper]

I just did an update from CVS with the latest sources. There were a bunch of changes but the main change was to the IM code so let me know of any problems.
