Yes. There are plans to (insert lolplan fix) and work has actually started on that front. And no, I can't give you an ETA at this time, it's too early for that still

Look at me! I could be a community manager!!



Can you take over for five minutes? I need to get coffee.

Well-played, my friend. Well-played indeed. Blink

Kinda late in the day for coffee...perhaps it should be augmented with something a bit...stronger.

@Guard, will you be breaking the regular layout of the posts?

(eg will I have to recode everything again...)

ETAs are a serious liability in that people tend to beat you over the head with them if you fail to meet them, even though the term has the word "estimate" in it.

CCP Guard, thanks for the reply. Also: Why is my name censored when quoted?

How about fixing your security checks, less then and greater then symbols are used in things other then html. Plus, why not just escape it?

well I know CCP knows this. Preview post. is in a quote box..

It would be a decent tweak if it wasn't in a quote ("Preview") box, at a regular text size.

See here is the problem. Not only are you on the wrong page you're not even using the same dictionary as everyone else.

Shouldn't it be the ability to navigate to what they do, not what they're saying?

I can determine for myself what font size I want. This should be a user option.

So "The Team" finally worked out how to login to the forum admin page and change "topics per page" from 20 to 30. Well done. This should be a user option.

Notice that there isn't "remove all the annoying hideous crap that your users have been complaining about since the earliest tests." I gotta think there's either $ or icelandic arrogance involved somewhere (on top of the web team's proven track record of incompetence.)

NO.

Maybe until they fixed that posting timeout which ate, I dare say hundreds if not thousands of player posts.
Even then, it'll just be a brief pat on the back.

For now, they'll get stale bread and water.
No TVs, no playtime.

Nice Work.

A lot of forums seem to have issues with post eating.
I have ran into it myself.

It appears the standard is to open a record and reserve while people make entries.
Problem is you can timeout on such requests if you take too long composing your comments.

My work around for this was not to reserve the record at all.
Hand them a form to enter there information.
THen when they submit,
Perform the open new record and paste the form data all in one action.

There are issues with this, and I am not sure how feasable it is with your current engine but it might be worth looking in too.

The name "Saddam Hussein" (former leader of Iraq) is censored, but "Osama bin Laden" is not.
"Adolf" is not censored, but "Hitler" is.

Please no! NEVER EVER EVER EVER bring colors back....if you need to know why, look at Miilla's crap-poasting from the old forums and you will no longer wonder why this is a good idea. Thank you CCP.
