But that's so mainstream! Being angry at me is much more underground and it's been so long since people were angry at me that it's probably considered retro by now! Lol


lol, I love your sig, btw

NOOO! I can no longer rename items such as slaves with player names!

Y U BREAK MY FUN?! X

Also less options when I want to make links look neat such as in MOTD.

Hey, I'm working on it! I've already said I'll reintroduce Frogholing one way or the other.
Nobody reads my posts X

I actually really liked this "feature", made linking destination in fleet, or item types in alliance a lot more readable.

:shrug:, an option to keep it would also be nice

It's a good word. Going to see if I can get Twitter to start using it.

P.S. I'm still working on fixing this, not just tweeting and posting. Promise™!

So this is all mostly ready on my machine.

Station links that autocomplete will complete to Station: ShortOrbitName (M instead of Moon).

All types of links can now be Frogholed™ in the same manner as before. They will not autocomplete on any client and obviously not be translated. Currently I'm having issues with the Frogholing™ requiring you to delete all of the text used to autolink and I'm trying to work around that because it's annoyingly confusing and I think everyone would appreciate being able to write "Jita IV", link that to Jita IV 4 CNA, and than erase the roman numeral part to only have it display as "Jita" (and never translate, even though that's a solar system name. Can't have your cake and eat it).

However, I'm not committing this today and I'm not rushing this out to TQ because this code is brittle. I'm also well out of my comfort zone as a specialized database developer that generally stops touching things once they've been efficiently fetched and properly stored in client side structures. And lastly I remember all the fringe issues I had when doing this in the first place and am mortally afraid of reintroducing them on TQ if this gets pushed out too soon.

But this is all happening. Sorry for making you wait, but patience is a virtue!
And if wrath is your thing, the offer of calling me nasty names on Twitter still stands! Blink

Read your first post and pictured Mike Wzowski shouting "I'm on the cover of a magaZINE!"

Dibs on Frogholio as an alt name. "I am Frogholio, I demand T3 for my wormhole."

Prisim X, are you also the person who is responsible for the 'searching' of characters?

For example, when making a contract and finding the recipient for said contract, encapsulate the name with quotes or anything, I still get hundreds of results with similar likeliness to the name.

I'd be cool if I could wrap my alt's name with quotes to narrow down my search results instead of always having to go through a really long list.

Dual Pane idea: Click!

Partly, my old team did that. I relayed your question to the developer who would know.

So, this is a lttle bit of topic, but I decided I needed to know what froghole really is it turned me into a furry and here is how thing like this can be just three steps removed.

Step 1 - Google search Froghole and click on random twitter stream of Froghole the Clown.

Step 2 - Click on some random chick that posted a comment in his twitter stream.

Step 3 - Take survey that she linked (I am a sucker for a survey) and learn that I am a mischevious furry, like a fox or something.

Sigh.....

The internet is a dangerous place. Don't google things if you don't already know the search results. Pirate

While "Frogholing™" is a good feature, is there a possibility to NOT treat adding space after link as link edition when i write the rest of sentence and enforce auto-completion in that case?

Opinions are like assholes. Everybody got one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks.
