Some new changes:

– I changed the color of the disabled links on pagination

– Moved the edit and post bumons around

– Anonymous forum has a new experimental speech ballon interface

– Fixed a bug where things were subscribing by default.

Erm..Personally I’m not that huge a fan of the speech bubbles, but it’s an improvement from before. Also, the anonymous profile complements the board.

But would we be able to have the same setup as all the other RP boards, just with the poster being anonymous?

Also, could we have the option of which boards we’d like to see in Active Topics? Because now my active topics are always crowded either by more “post here” contests, or the anon board.

Other than that, I have no complaints.

This. I’m sick of the neverending “post here for 1BP” contests taking up space that could be devoted to a thread with actual discussion. Since I guess eliminating those contests is out of the question, being able to “ignore” a forum (or better yet, a thread, though I imagine that would be a mbumive **** to code) in your “Active Topics” would be handy.

You have no idea how wrong you are about this. We’ve been talking about this FOREVER internally. We’ve discussed it over and over, brainstormed, gathered mod feedback, etc.

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean we didn’t put a lot of thought into it.

“internally” just because a few people liked it doesn’t mean it’s a great idea.

MC Banhammer Posted:

I believe enhanced BBCode is in the upcoming features list, possibly restricted only to RP.

Oh god please make rainbow blinkies happen.

Also some stuff like that should only be available in the trollhole or something.

Oh just noticed this, for me the bar ”|” between “View Johnny Mac’s Profile” and “Edit” isn’t there on my own posts.

It’s a unneeded idea where the time could of been spent on something you know USEFUL. Splitting the bored was just a time sink, if you can give 1 reason why it’s a great idea besides “lol now people know not to troll here” because everyone knows that already, I’ll believe it was useful.

So people don’t click on an RP post at work and get embedded pictures. There’s one.

It’s been asked for for a long as time…

Your definition of “useful” is not everyone’s definition of useful. The changes are growing on me rapidly, and I see where they’ll help.

I like knowing when a post is RP and when it’s not. I know it’s harder to actually troll players now, but I consider that good.

I did accidentally post something for GRP in GD just recently. I knew all the rules, I just didn’t read carefully enough. Yeah, it was dumb on my part, but it’s not going to happen now.

Also: Please stop pretending that your priorities are the only possible priorities, and that time spent addressing one potential issue is automatically time lost at another. Particularly with labors of “love”, the longer you spend working on something, the less productive you become at it. Taking a break to work on something different can help you come back fresh and smart and ready to be more productive in your original task.

Hi, I'm an adult whos into bumes. But not boners!

Another quick bug. When you make a post, there is no | between “View [character name]’s profile” and “Edit”.

Some suggestions.

Where is the “last post” link for threads?

Just incase you don’t see my thread. The char. counter for thread titles/bodys for posts. They seem to work fine is itembuildr.

Someone said they wanted it on top, but I don’t care where, I just want to be able to have 1 tab open for flamebate and know if I need to check any new posts when I click refresh instead of having to have multiple tabs open, or click through a bunch of stuff. And instead of me just complaining I did my best to show a layout that I thought would fit in.

Hmm gave me a idea.

With the new layout, maybe give us the option of where we want everything? Like be able to move the different sections around? Wouldn’t be useful right now, but maybe if the secret forums section comes around?

How about we can drag things around and put them where we want them like google’s personalized homepages?
