maybe a way to search for your recent posts, so you could find those conversations again?
Organizing
Lets do it how Quake does it. Use centerprint, bprint and sprint.
Just kidding, but I do like how the structure here is very old school Quake. Its a very unique style, but the structure , at least for me in the beginning was hard to follow because of the way its sorting the messages. Im getting the hang of it the more I post.
Oh

did you change it so links open in new windows now?
#2008 posted by metlslime on 2016/02/13 02:51:51
No, must be a browser change on your end?
#2009 posted by necros on 2016/02/13 03:12:02
oh, did firefox just start doing that then? i dunno... i haven't touched anything on my part.
Emoticons
Just an idea, how about some more Quake old school icons, perhaps one for the rest of the Artifacts, ring, suit and maybe the rest of the standard quake models like the health and ammo boxes etc. Maybe that way it could serve as a better clue what the subject topic is about in a more defined way.
Heres one of a teleporter I just made from an in game screenshot, if you wanna use it :

Thread For Sounds?
Is there a thread for sounds, ie troubleshooting problems playing sounds like ambient sounds?
#2013 posted by metlslime on 2016/02/22 22:32:43
no, it would normally go in mapping help or coding help, depending on how you are approaching the subject.
Sound
Well this is a looping sound issue, and seems some engines handle it differently than others. I will try the engine thread I guess, and you can move it if need be...
Make URLs In Titles Clickable
Because having to select them manually on an iPhone is making my arse bleed. Jesus, I wish you cunts would just stop doing this.

Works fine on my Android. Just long press and go. Don't try to do actual computer stuff on your golden toy device maybe?

"hurrr duuurrr go back 2 playing candy crush appel boy" - Spirit
Seriously, wtf dude?

That works on Apple too. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop it from being a twat move. Put the link in the body of the message. Or is that too complicated?
Doesn't Work Reliably For Me
Truly Spirit, and I say this in friendship, but go and stick your android phone up your ass and shit it out. Repeat until your anus prolapses.

Well, being a Linux user I can see how he'd be a fan of taking the hard route ... so I guess title URLs make sense in that context.
Post Images? HTML?
I have no idea if anyone has asked for this yet, but would it be possible to be able to post images? I see people constantly linking to images on external websites, so that way it makes showing betas of maps and mods a lot easier. Obviously, we would need to figure out how to moderate it, because anybody could just come down and spam porn.
Another thing that would be great is to add simple HTML implementation. It would be awesome if we could post videos and such, using code like this:
<iframe width="854" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VpiNDxssUL0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This would allow for us to share information a lot faster and conveniently. But, there are problems with this, like people making the iframe humongous, and taking up the entire page. There is also internal scripting, which could make it so that anyone can use <script>, and REALLY fuck up the forum.

those are all good reasons not to do it :)
#2025 posted by metlslime on 2016/03/17 01:51:13
P.S. are there other forums that allow iframes in posts?
#2026 posted by necros on 2016/03/17 01:57:59
i love this forum for that!
Cool Ideas

Also we need embedded gif support so we can post sweet reaction gifs and memes, oh and also social media "like" and "share" buttons, and maybe also link our accounts with facebook so we can get the hottest map releases in our newsfeeds?
Metlslime
Just realized that html is not supported in forums, which is understandable. I was sure that you were able to without breaking everything. What you should do is support BB code. Spirit's forum does, and it allows you to post images inline from an image link:
[img=What you want to call the image]http://www.somewhere.com/stupidpic.jpg[/img]
This will show the image stupidpic.jpg from the site www.somewhere.com, and the mouseover title will be called what you want to call the image. You can ask spirit about it probably. I don't know php at all, so I can't help you.
And Another Feature(s) I Would Like To See...
Is notifications. You don't have to go crazy and add a reply button yet, but make a simple reply textbox below the name textbox that would alert the recipient through email that someone is replying to them. Program it so that if whoever they are addressing does not exist, or does not have an email, nothing happens. Also make sure if the email setting in a profile says "don't show," they will not be emailed. Include a checkbox that lets the user choose if they want email notifications or not. This will make responses a lot easier to do, rather than having to update the page every five minutes.
Also, if you can't implement the reply feature just yet, please add a refresh button in the bottom left corner or something, it would make my day.
One FINAL thing, shift the most recent topics as well as the post box from top to bottom, instead of bottom to top. Every time I go here, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see recent posts, and to post myself. Moving this stuff to the top would be the BEST thing ever.
