but metlslime, it's SPAM! and everyone has exactly the same definition of spam, so it's ok to delete.

and besides, it's not like if you relented slightly in your policy of 'no deletion' that it would become a slippery slope.

Code Tags

#1050 posted by . on 2007/01/22 17:24:20

What aboot code tags? Would be easier to sift through some QuakeC in a monospace font.

not a bad idea.

Just A Minor Suggestion

#1052 posted by necros on 2007/02/03 04:27:02

would it be possible to get something to fix up the time for different time zones? the timestamps are kind of useless for me atm. :P

Necros:

#1053 posted by metlslime on 2007/02/03 07:43:08

i have thought of that. FYI, the timestamps were EST for the first two years, then PST for the last two years. And now on the new server they're somewhere in germany, so i guess that's called CET.

Anyway, my plan is to have users choose a time zone in their preferences, and then to translate timestamps into their local time.

Another Idea

#1054 posted by . on 2007/02/03 11:46:39

Ability to tag favorite posts. Say you're digging back a few years for some mapping help or a particular topic, you can flag it as a favorite, add a keyword or 3, easily accessible in your Account page.

Also

#1055 posted by . on 2007/02/03 11:47:23

You could set a range of posts, like #234-263 etc.

Interesting

i'll add it to the list

While We're Requesting New Features

I've always been bothered by the fact that you could never link to the 'last 25' posts of a thread externally. Such as, if I wanted to link to the Speedmapping thread in general, but wanted to ensure that the link only went to the last 'page' of posts.

#1058 posted by metlslime on 2007/02/20 09:11:54

good point.

Another Suggestion

#1059 posted by . on 2007/03/05 09:14:48

RSS feed(s).

Yes...

#1060 posted by metlslime on 2007/03/05 10:08:37

But what's the point? Even if I created a feed, nobody would realize that it even existed.

#1061 posted by . on 2007/03/05 10:40:57

Why wouldn't they - surely you would link it somehwere for all to see... or are you saying RSS is so underused it's not worth it?

What I'm Saying Is...

#1062 posted by metlslime on 2007/03/05 10:47:09

go to the news page.

Metl

#1063 posted by . on 2007/03/05 11:03:54

That brings me to news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark - but where is the actual .RSS feed that I could add to a reader?

news_rss.php

You failed to understand. The news_rss.php which Firefox just wants to bookmark actually works fine as it is a proper rssfeed.

Spirit

#1067 posted by inertia on 2007/03/05 12:49:54

proper rssfeed.

K It Works

Thought it had to have .rss or .xml extension

Phait:

#1069 posted by metlslime on 2007/03/05 20:15:24

I'm not sure that it does, but I'll find out. I can change the extension if necessary.

News Archive

#1070 posted by underworldfan on 2007/03/22 21:31:56

the "news archive" link doesnt seem to be working, at least for me. : /

Works For Me...

#1071 posted by metlslime on 2007/03/22 22:27:20

There seem to be a lot of complaints from some people about not being able to load certain pages, such as the entire general thread, or the archive threads.

I wonder if some proxys/ISPs/something else have some sort of max page size? The news archive is 313K, maybe that's too big.

Can you view the discussion archive, or "all posts" from any large threads?

I Also Can't

#1072 posted by aguirRe on 2007/03/23 00:21:46

access the News Archive or View All Threads; I get the std "page cannot be displayed".
