deanb Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 After finding out today it's a relatively simple thing to do we are now keeping the signal alive. Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken? -pterry You can install this on Chrome (likely others for Firefox) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/clacks-overhead-gnu-terry/lnndfmobdoobjfcalkmfojmanbeoegab?hl=en Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 7 hours ago, Mal said: How can I get my video to be large size? It's due to it being set to "unlimited" by default, I changed the value mainly because it covers all content which includes embedded images and such. If someone put in a multi-megapixel image it'd take as much space as it could. So while the bigger youtube embeds look a bit nicer, it's an offset of things just being a bit too huge. I'll slowly add in here some of the new features. - One being that you can now use @ handles to tag someone in a post. - As Mal noted you can jsut paste a URL and it'll auto-embed most media. This unfortunately doesn't include Imgur per-se (if you embed a page link it'll embed that though) - Technically you can now get email digests. Though that's if this place decides it likes sending out emails (it's a bit hit and miss but my test went fine yesterday and maybe some of you got emails about the forum upgrade?) - We no longer GNU Terry Pratchett but I'm gonna fix that - Tapatalk isn't enabled atm but that's highish on my list - You can make custom content streams and set them as default (there's a little faded out tick next to the stream title) - There's a basic Dark Theme if you want to use that. - Oh in a soonish update (we're on 4.1, 4.2 is coming soon) the "Like" will change much like FB has to "Reactions" which I feel might amuse some of you. -I've also stuck links on the top bar for the Discord and Patreon too(hint hint) - I'm gonna get around to sorting the Emoticons out since I can set "Categories". - The old subtitles thing were put in with a plug-in, and obviously the creator noticed they were popular cos the version 4 plug-in is $7. It's on my list, but lowish down. - You can set cover photos on your profiles - You can "Follow" people, means you'll get notifications when they make posts or updates and such. - Another plug-in that I'm likely to reinstall is the Steam support.

TCP Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Have we always been able to report posts? Should I report everything Ethan says?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I think that qualifies as bullying. Also, I just reported your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Unless I completely did not see it for years, this is probably one of my favorite changes. 17 hours ago, deanbmmv said: This means no more manually snipping quotes and it makes quoting multiple parts of a post way easier. I guess the only other quoting thing I don't see is a way to recreate something like this: On 1/26/2017 at 10:21 PM, Mal said: AWACS Mal said: << Attention all personnel. >> << Please be advised that the theater of operation has expanded outside of Sony's territories into regions code-named X1 and PC. >> An quote (a quote?) with a custom name and even time stamp if I wanted to. In the above case (where I figured it out with BBcode or something, it was the upper leftmost button that stripped away all the fancy stuff and just worked on text and code) I did it for my amusement but there have been times where I would like to quote real people in say the US Politics thread. Kind of unnecessary if I link the article/source I guess but it's nice. As an aside... you can resize how images look in posts it seems. Neat. Edited April 2, 2017 by Mal Testing image resize.

deanb Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 @Cowboy Danger Poet Yes you should have been able to report all the time. I know at least some of you have reported when we've had spammers pop up. Please don't abuse it though. @Mal Actually looking into it, it seems editing quotes is now harder than it used to be, you certainly used to be able to quote fictional folks with the 'name="abraham lincoln"'. I suspect it has been changed because it could also easily be abused to misattribute quotes (though as you'll note if you're quoting a forum members post it'll still link to their original so hey). The "Source" is also different here, showing almost raw HTML rather than BBcode of the old place (mainly because this is a new 3rd party editor). IIRC you could also do partial quotes too, though not with the handy pop-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Just a warning for any mobile users. Tapatalk does not seem to recognize the new spoiler format, so any spoilers will be fully viewable in the mobile threads and the thread previews.

Eleven Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Is the new forum software slower? I find myself waiting a lot. Not a complaint, just an observation. I'm wondering if it's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Yes it's slower at loading, mainly a caching thing (basically it's rebuilding pretty much everything as you load pages rather than just going "oh, I already made this front page for MisterJack 2 minutes ago, I'll serve that up to Eleven"). It's a "to do" thing atm. It's not crippling, but yes I'll be aiming to work on it this weekend. I'd a bunch of tweaks on the old version that don't quite carry over to this.

deanb Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I can add to the new Reactions functionality btw. To demonstrate this I've added in a reaction that's pretty much for @MetalCaveman (not my aim, was just looking for something I could add). If anyone has any ideas I'm open. Or maybe the current range is fine. I'm tempted to replace the current ones with stylised Mario faces if I could find something that'd fit what's in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Video game themed ones would be cool. If I think about it when I have time I'll see if I can find anything. Is there a particular format/resolution that would work best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 It uses transparent PNGs and 100*100 as a minimum size, and in square format. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted September 1, 2017 Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 They aren't really faces, but there are some good ones in here: http://www.iconarchive.com/show/super-mario-icons-by-ph03nyx.1.html A few of my favorites: It also has some pixel-art ones if you'd prefer those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
