//My personal opinion on the MegaGlest board is that if it ain't a mod (finish the sentence)...
In my opinion, child boards add an unnecessary and inconvenient extra step.
Aaeehhh.......I hate child boards they're kinda confusing. :-X
1. Off Topic Board
2. MegaGlest Board
3. Contributions Board
4. Board Theme
5. Reorganized Ranks
6. Karma System
7. Feature Wanted Board
8. Blender Board
Oh come on the old ranks we had were crap, it meant nothing to be an Archmage. :PHeh, most people would agree. BTW, what is the final rank after grandmaster? I drew a blank on cool names (nobody's reached it yet, you're close, but no cigar).
New ranks might look cool to newcomers, and I for one want to board to look as good as possible so that it's easier to expand. ;D
Quote from: Omega on March 08, 2010, 07:53:55 PMNot really... ::)
3. Contributions Board
We already have these invidually, mods, maps, tilesets, translations, etc. boards. NO
Otherwise, it will be problematic, if someone just posts a lot of posts for there ranks.Off topics board ::)
I say, what is a grandmaster? Only use things from Tech & Magic.Hmm, perhaps I should. Would you guys be okay with that though? I'll make a list of rankings and the posts required then post it here and you guys can decide to like it or not.
And use them all. :)

maybe we have to do an special class for moderators like in the old forumsWhat do you mean? All GAE Team/Glest Team/Moderators/Administers have their own member group respectively. For example, I'm an administer, so that's sort of a 'special class' because it shows on my profile. You're on the glest team, so that shows up there, and there's special stars for those special classes. Are you refering to like how Glest Team members had dragon avatars on the old forums? That's really just the equivilant to the stars here. However, unless there's a mod for it, stars are the only thing available on SMF. I kinda grew used to them eventually anyway...
News: MegaGlest is ripping up the boards. Check it out now!
Sory for the duble post but I think the NEWS: thing is cool! was it there all along? or did some one add it?Yes it is cool. 8)QuoteNews: MegaGlest is ripping up the boards. Check it out now!
I also changed the news headers so that they randomly choose a few headlines, making it seem a bit 'newsier'. They also show some of the new things that have happened. When new mods are released and new versions of GAE are released, I'll try and make news headers for them too, though I have to depend primarily on hailstone's developement newsletters because I'm constantly behind the mods board, though there's a lot of incomplete mods...
metal panels background is really far from Glest.Metal panels? What metal panels? Bricks maybe? Probably not the best picture. Got a better one that fits the color scheme?
I like it, is quite cool, but the header is badly resized, be careful with this kind of things, the image is distorted vertically. Don't resize a picture over his original size, if you need a bigger one ask it to me.Sure thing... I'll ask you now. Please?
Ok, I have created a cool new glest theme and have now taken screenshots. Let me know what you think and what needs to be improved (if anything).Cool theme. 8) Maybe not the best, but it's still better then the forum default theme.
BTW, it might be good to save the current database, because it won't be good to lose much posts again, like last time :PThis is true! :o
You mean 4 more votes. :P ::)BTW, it might be good to save the current database, because it won't be good to lose much posts again, like last time :PThis is true! :o

Yah, they aren't metal panels....they don't look like anything actually........I agree. (http://www.soft-haus.com/jacob/smiles/cheesy.png)
I really don't care if the old theme was dark, Glest has very little to do with darkness, it should use the colors of the homepage. ;D

I need the exact dimensions, if you reisize it in a not proportional way the image will be distorted again1000x162 (my previous estimate was pretty far off!).
I always preferred a sorta "thumbs up" system where everyone in the forum could "thumbs-up" or "thank" a post's author for their post. It has the effect of essentially swapping "seniority by post count" for "seniority by helpfulness" instead. I don't know if it's functional for this forum type, but it's still interesting.Yes, something similar to (sorry, EXACTLY the same as) youtube, don't you think, where you can comment just on that one post (or perhaps on that person in general). However, I checked the SMF forums and apparently that is one that has been requested but nobody has made yet (as of 2009 Nov, when that post was created, assumably still so, since I can't find one myself).
Also, a minor change was added: a spoiler effect which is very popular on other boards was added. It can be used to hide text, shorten posts, split your post into manageable parts, allow collapsable areas of your post, oh and for spoilers.I see.
Sample:(click to show/hide)
All right, smilies are complete! Thank you to Eliminator for that! To see all new or changed smilies, let me test one more thing with the spoiler tag... (didn't know you could add a custom label...)Yeah,By the way, the code for :confused: was changed from ??? to the current one which is ;confused; (with : instead of ; )(click to show/hide)

What about Vbros? :scared:What about ..."it" ? :confused: ::)(click to show/hide)
Woodsmen is by far the best mod for Glest.To you it is.
Also the current release is hideously ovepowered.Yes I agree.
Well I say if it takes this long to get a realy good mod (Juging by dark_magic and Woodsmen) we realy need some mods that might not be that good quality but ou can play them wile you wait. (http://www.soft-haus.com/jacob/smiles/roll_n_blink.gif)I guess (http://www.soft-haus.com/jacob/smiles/roll_n_blink.gif) like the 5th vbros pack.
Its a good thing us Vbros are here, or Glest might me dead. :(Maybe... ::) :O
Its a good thing us Vbros are here, or Glest might me dead. Sad
looks good but yeah, too dark. ::) :bomb:Agreed. Also, when I post a reply, some of the buttons look weird/not right. The spoiler one especially (is it supposed to look like that?)...
6. Karma System: Or a token system, etc; where the users can be given positive or negative karma, which can more accurately tell of a person than the post count. Could be abused though or turn off a good person for a tiny mistake. On the other hand, modders can be more accurately rated for their work. On the other other hand, modders who unleash an unfinished testing beta could unfairly lose karma for what was meant to be an unfinished beta. This would require great thinking to decide wether to impliment.

Also, I have to fix the sizing so that it fits perfectly on 1024 width screens, which is very common resolution. Won't be hard. Image will need to be smaller, but the rest can expand to fill the screen. Won't look quite as cool on high resolutions, but not too impared (too...).

Well Ultifd, it is not the original theme that was used years back, but I like it and work on making something similar is underway. Here's a quick image of developement so far. You see its only part way done and you can still see the old parts, but its coming.

Because firefox doesn't like my computer's flashing windows problem, I had to use safari for my testing, and found its web inspector tool (basically an all in one debugger) to be very helpful. Kudos to apple there![/i]I thought you were using a PC...? Or is Safari available to PC's now? (Windows, Linux, ???)
Why was attachments disallowed in the past again? I think it was something about using too much bandwidth or something??? Opinions? :|Obviously not being a member of the Glest team myself, I can assure you MANY forums hold that position, for the reason you gave, even when they are not related to artwork (which naturally boosts up the said bandwidth usage as well as host storage space)... :P
@jda: The theme you previewed is indeed quite dark. Wait for this next, more glesty one and try it. BTW, an interesting thing I notice is that change is hard to accept. When the board originally changed, we didn't like the look because we were used to the old one. Eventually we became used to this one, and when I first began creating themes, I noticed that I didn't really like the glest theme because I wasn't used to it. But eventually, I grew used to it (spent a lot of time debugging) and I liked it. I think that when the final theme is implimented, it will have to be used for quite a while before you guys generally accept it (ok, not quite a while, maybe a week, depending on how *stuborn* you are)."Resistance to change" is an often abused concept (I'm a sociologist BTW). It's correct usage is as a synthesizing concept to where many other concepts/factors converge (which exactly depending on the specific case). Using it as a cause-in-itself is wrong as it is (when used like that) completely seperate from the reality it is suposed to describe. ;)

That said, habits are part of the normal human behaviour. Redundancy helps quick action and also provides a feeling of comfort/security. Nonetheless, it is enthropy that makes things move forward and stuff like ambition and desire cry out for it! ;)
@ultifd: The brightness/darkness contrast is very varying, but that's because it is incomplete. I'll need maybe a week or so to finish, depending on how busy I am on the break (already!).Yeah, good luck. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
It has a bunch of smiles in a row and after it says [more] (http://javascript:moreSmileys();) right?Any one think its a good idea?
You should have it just have a button with a smile on it (Showing no smiles) and when you click on it the window pops up with all the smiles on it.
I'll go with not, just do Elim's idea and put the one smiley, where the 'smiley' 'smiley' is :cheesy:Well, does he mean all the smilies? In fact...we don't have too much... :|
Kinda Dark, but it's cool. :)Ugh, did it wrong. I screwed up the header's path, which worked on mine, but not here. Gotta fix that.
Testing.
No Header...
Can you rename your old theme, or delete it? ::)
...You should have uploaded the images to imageshack... :|
EDIT: Why is there a ".........." below the "Home" link?That shoes the active tab. Home will have that for the normal parts of the board. Try clicking 'profile'.

I'm still not sure what you mean by the 'clashing' off grey, black, and white. With the grey and black background, it is NECESSARY to use white text to have it show up.Well, I guess...
While its true the black in the background is a pretty strong contrast, I dont know any alternatives. I based it off tucho's earlier example, which also had a black background. No other color seems to look right... Why don't you take a picture, then use a paint bucket tool to recolor the background and compare the different colors? :|

I also didn't see any youtube bbcode or spoiler. ::)
But uh.... continue this discussion in the Board Changes topic... ::)
Im am moving the theme folders and testing, to detect the crashing oneSo is that what brought the forum down?
Ok, I'm going to fix the youtube thing (pretty sure I know what's wrong). I'll edit my post if I'm successful. Looks like I gotta use the spoiler tag too.Cool, after that, it is basically perfect. Besides some other stuff...like the header :| ::)
Omega (and the "makers" of the theme): i dont know... but maybe the problem with the forum was something in the themes folder.Thank you. :thumbup: :O
I had to reinstall the forum and copy the folders one to one (Smiles, Avatars, Themes)
The new Glest theme is ¡amazing!
BTW, omega, you say on the theme's description it's based on media by tucho... Didn't you mean by josepzin? :-\OH NO!!! Sooooo sorry josepzin, this is very unbecoming of me. I'll fix it immediately for the next release, as you definately deserve the credit! But before I go through another painful upload, is there anything else that needs to be fixed/changed at the same time?
Omega (and the "makers" of the theme): i dont know... but maybe the problem with the forum was something in the themes folder.You fixed the board?

Hey guys, I've uploaded the new fixed theme and deleted the old one... :PI agree with setting your new theme as default. It's not just stethically appealing, it's perfectly functional too (in terms of visibilty and features, may be some glitch like John.d.h suggested). ;)
So sorry, you'll have to reset it to that in your profile page... :look:
I'm thinking of setting it as a default. What do you guys think? If I get enough people to agree, I'll make it the default and set everyone to it. Of course, if you want to use the SMF default (the 'Core' theme), you can select it from your settings.
Hmm... nope, that's not it. When I click on the "new" button, it just takes me to some random post in that thread, somewhere toward the end but not to the unread post. It's not really that important, just a little anomaly I had noticed.Same thing for me. ::)
Omega: Oh, forgot about that! Can I get a vote?No problem, besides that they made me almost miss what you said... ::)
Also, so sorry for modifying your post, ment to modify mine, but wasn't paying very much attention at all. My apologies
also the stars that tell your rank look bad.I think the regular stars look good/ok, but the "special" stars don't look so good... ::)
jozepin, since you have access to the server, could you delete the contents of the uploads folder, which is a temporary folder storing things uploaded, primarily the zips and stuff for the mods I've installed (such as Youtube BBC). Had some trouble reinstalling the mods because the files already existed and had to rename. Plus, the folder is taking up a lot of junk. Can't be sure, but you may want to check what you delete of course, everything deletable is an archive of some sort (mostly tar.gz and .zip).which is the temporary folder? is in the forum folder?
I'll create a new poll. Now, to test the links... Firstly, let me tell you that I did indeed notice that links where a bit hard to see here. However, there was no easy way to change this. I spent quite a while seeing what I could do with no success. In the stylesheet, these links are really no different from the links in the topic pages. Or the link at the top of the page that says 'Show unread posts since last visit'. I tried a different color, such as an orange (which is the a:hover style), but it didn't really work well or look good.Yeah...
Link Test (http://glest.110mb.com/)
Of course, I COULD change the BBC editor, so that all manually inserted links (ie: with [url]http://glest.110mb.com/[/url]), BUT since that is done in the main code, NOT the theme, that would end up undone when updating the board, or if it must be reinstalled as it was before. Plus, I'm not too comfortable with hacking the source and too lazy/inexperienced to make a SMF mod...I agree...so... ::)
BTW - Something I've been meaning to tell you guys for a while is handy piece of knowledge is that there is a 'hidden' tag called [nobbc] that causes things inside of it to be rendered without bbcode, as I used for my [url] example above. Some of you might know that already, but if not, it's pretty handy knowledge for if someone asks how you should post something, or about format, etc.Yeah, I knew that. :) But there was a "button" that could do that before... :| oh well
Sometimes it's really hard to see when text is a link or not. For example, look at the small difference in writing here (http://www.youtube.com/user/qualiasoup?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/3/vss1VKN2rf8) versus just writing here.Yep, that's what we said... ::)
Maybe this can be modified in each user's browser, but I would like it better for it to automatically be different, for example brown or gold...
- The "new" icon( which indicates that the topic is new ) doesn't really fit to the themeI'm REALLY not sure what you mean. The 'normal' picture looks the same as my current one. The star might be better though (although I'm not sure about glow... A bit too fuzzy for me). I'm not a GIMP user, but I'll just use the preview you posted. :D
Here is a new icon you can use to indicate things that are already read. The current glest G looks so pale when it has nothing new.
I hope you are a gimp user:
http://www.titusgames.de/tmp/on3.xcf
Play a bit with the layers, I don't know which one is the best to indicate something new.

EDIT: Did you change the time? Now there are seconds... ::)Heh heh. Glad SOMEONE noticed. Yes, that was a very nice change of mine, yet I'm surprised you did not notice the TICKING clock too! That's right, I inserted a bit of JS to have a live action clock that adjusts to the user's timezone, rather than a clock showing the time when the page was loaded only for the server (UTC?) time.
Sorry for being off for a bit... (You guys ARE impatient though!). :-XCool. :thumbup:
Anyway, down to business:
@Font Color: I guess I'll change the main color from white to rgb(221,221,221), which is the same as the example Titi showed.
Yeah, I see.EDIT: Did you change the time? Now there are seconds... ::)Heh heh. Glad SOMEONE noticed.

(although I'm not sure about glow... A bit too fuzzy for me)
Omega, some list went wrong here: https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=5156.msg45099#msg45099Yes, I found that yesterday, when I was looking at the FAQ... ::)
What is wrong whit the list?The list isn't even a list anymore. ::)
I fixed the Forums Rules and FAQ, check it out.Yeah I did, cool. :) :thumbup:
Yah, Omega made a change to the board when he added that image to the library that you can select from.I see.
I like this board alot better :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup::D :D :D

For instance, I didn't see a "see unread posts since last visit" button. Also, I hadn't read this thread because I thought the only changes were for the forums headers available. So I didn't get to vote on this - I like the old blue theme myself and want it back. At least as an option!Yes a option for the old theme would be good.

I don't know what all the OT was about, but back to what I was saying. As others have noted, there is not a theme available for the version (I'll call it Glest/SMF Blue) prior to the current default (Glest Green).
As stated, the new default isn't ideal for everyone and some of us would like the Glest/SMF Blue back - as an option at least. Both the other two non-Glest options available under themes are not the Glest/SMF Blue theme. They are both radically different in the "physical" layout of the forum, as well as visually different.
I for one would greatly prefer the Glest/SMF Blue as an option.
Hmm... nope, that's not it. When I click on the "new" button, it just takes me to some random post in that thread, somewhere toward the end but not to the unread post. It's not really that important, just a little anomaly I had noticed.
Yeah and there is still that bug, where you click a topic, for example, this topic, and then you are supposed to get the the "newest" post right? you don't, for example, it went to the 11th page of this topic...Yup, it's sent me to the 11th page the last half-dozen or so times.

Great work with the forum theme, congrats Omega :)I agree, still, we need the SMF Original Blue Theme...though. :|

I like #88f better, I think it fits the theme...uh...better. :|This one I think but a little more blue.
But uh...I don't think Omega is going to change it anyways. ::)
But uh...I don't think Omega is going to change it anyways. ::)I'll change it once you consider it and enough people vote on it. Then I'll post a picture and show just what you asked for (tried something similar once and it scared me) before I consider uploading it.

Opinions? DO bear in mind that almost every link is changed, not just in posts, including stuff like the [more] button for smilies, the insert quote link when posting, etc; Please think about what you are asking then reply wether or not you want blue links.
In other news, I uploaded the old 'default' and named it SMFBlue. You can use it from your profile. I tested it and it works fine. Of course, it is totally inferior to my awesome glest theme, but... :O:thumbup: Cool, tested, and now it is actually there. ::) I know at least a few people will change. ::) Not me though. :|

Oh, and yeah, I forgot last night :-[, but I'll try again tonight.
Buttons and link color, rght?
There! I found a much better way to do it! Now links that appear ONLY in the posts are gold while the normal ones are the same as before.Looks good now. At least is stands out much more... ::) I am not sure if you should, but I am ok with or without it... ::) And yeah that is true...why though. :|
http://glest.110mb.com/main.php
Noticed an error now:
-The color of the links are only affected in the posts, not in the preview window. Also, perhaps I should make it so that the links for quotes are not affected by this. I think that would look better.
div[class='quoteheader'] a:link{

}
div[class='quoteheader'] a:link{

there is also some trouble with the black frames around the topics at the moment...I'm not sure what you mean. The black borders are fine to me, unless somethings wrong with my browser (safari)?
look here for example, some topics are not separated from each other:
https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?board=12.0
Maybe not such a super bright yellow for the links?Good point, I'll change now. I didn't use a hex code, but rather just the word 'gold'...
current:
https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=5149.msg46645#msg46645
suggested:
Link color A:
this is the link color #fc0 ( not very different, but this is exacly the color used in the frame of the buttons below )
link color B:
this is the link color #ba2
( hint: you don't see the colored links in the preview at the moment )
I still thinks the current theme is too dark, dark sides often remind me of virus sites...and... :silence:You visit VIRUS SITES? :scared:
Like the colour were there is no image, there is pure dark, and that is what i think makes the site so dark...
You visit VIRUS SITES? Scared
I wouldn't even know what a virus site looks like, though I know a large number of forums, etc that are much darker than this.
BTW: cool link (http://digitalpaint.org/) color. But is doesn't show in the post preview...Yeah, but I think he said he could not... ::)
I hate Norton, I don't want it and it keeps poping up asking me to enable it... AVG is better to me.Yeah...me too...
individual posts(I hope you get what I mean), are still white.Usernames are purposely white, only the post area (and soon to be the signature and preview parts as well) are affected. I don't get what you mean by 'individual posts'.
Yeah...nothing I think. ::)individual posts(I hope you get what I mean), are still white.Usernames are purposely white, only the post area (and soon to be the signature and preview parts as well) are affected. I don't get what you mean by 'individual posts'.
Still to do:
-Attempt (again, tried once and it flopped, I didn't forget!) to make stickies more noticeable.
-Allow sig and preview to be affected by link colors.
Anything I missed?
Yup and the buttons.I think they are already "fixed"...unless you are talking about something else :|
I mean the buttons you see when you post, there white and look bad next to this theme.I think like fine, maybe even good or nice ::) :O
Nothing, or nothing you can see...
um...google it ::) I did when I first saw it...and... ::)QuoteNothing, or nothing you can see...
This was the "action" of one of the guersts...what is it?
The buttons need to be a light color to work well with the overlaying image.I see.
In other news, I've fixed everything I mentioned in my last post and will upload tonight.
I mean the bug where it doesn't take people to the new post, but rather somewhere else in the thread. I thought it was fixed that time because it didn't happen. I've since found out it's still there. It seems to only happen on this thread, though.Yeah, it just happened to me too ::)
EDIT: Some of the news are out dated (I think) such as
about GAE... ::)Code: [Select][img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6573/ss117u.jpg[/img]
There! Complete success! Links in preview (http://glest.org/) now work, as well as links in sigs!Now the looks are fixed could I get a reply on this:
You're welcome. :P
On a different subject / request:
Could you have an option to NOT see topics you posted to before in the "Show new replies to your posts" just like you can turn off E-mail notifications on the thread?
Rather make optional and separate from the e-mail notifications though, I think. If it's at all possible. :|
That's true...yeah, maybe there is a mod for that...useful. :thumbup:EDIT: Some of the news are out dated (I think) such as
about GAE... ::)Code: [Select][img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6573/ss117u.jpg[/img]
If there was some sort of submission system where Omega didn't have to do it manually, it might work better.
Even still, it's better than the 'ol "SMF, just installed" which became less and less true over time...
Maybe it is better if it is like that... ::)Checked it out, that's not what we're looking for. That just makes it easier to see all the different news headers. And it's not even for our SMF version, but for the RC2. I won't update till version 2 becomes official.
Yeah...news keep getting uh..."ugly"... :|
Maybe this mod will help?
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2450
hmm...not really :|
But uh, some of the news' Grammar could be better... :|
EDIT: Good you fixed the quote color... :thumbup:Not in the previews though. It's because of conflicting CSS statements and I'll fix it soon. Low priority though...

Then you could submit it to a moderator to be added to the master database of "news'". The moderator would approve it and change it for grammar, and only mods (engine releases like new versions of Megaglest included) would be allowed. You could also edit it in the same way you edit a poll; by editing the first post of the topic.Good idea, too bad there isn't a mod that exists that does that... :|
So ok... this thread is on Anouncements, not General discussion but... that doesn't matter. :PDid a little mini edit before going to bed, rather than sinking the buttons I remembered that I can do better transparency now so the buttons have a very different effect to them. Here is the options menu, the camera rotates left a lot from the main menu possition revealing a desert in the distance:I can't see that new pic, nothing shows up when I click the "Spoiler" button. And actually, the pic I could see before, on your other spoiler/pic, doesn't show up anymore.(click to show/hide)
I thought this might be a problem with the forum's theme that omega was tweaking a while ago (I don't know if he's done with it now though) but I tried the old SMF default theme and I still can't see the pics...
So... I copied the link from your post and put it in my browser's addressbar and it worked.
Ok, which specific image are we refering to?This one... :|

Must be a bad image, I can't see it either. I changed his post so its a link, though he should retake and reupload.Yeah, good.
Maximum votes per user - Under the Option fields, you'll notice the Poll Option field, with the "Maximum votes per user" by line. If you would like voters to be able to vote more than once in a poll, add the desired number of maximum votes per voter.So supposedly, you could...
Excelent, I'm taking a look at the first link's method. Wish me luck. Now, how to fit this into my timetable...?Good Luck. ::)
hmm...are random people being assigned moderator positions... :|
oh well... :)
Mods don't update the theme, Gabbe, only Omega does...and he has like a life, which is more important than Glest...for him this is like a hobby IMO.
things will get better in time...
Not really random I mean, but some people are being assigned moderator positions without the whole community's knowledge, something that could be in the "news" or the announcements section...
kukac? what? nevermind...
I lot of things have been improved already, bear in mind that people have their lives, and that glest is mostly a hobby and such, and that they are not being payed///
someone forgot to read the SARCASM part ::)Nope, read it, was just sayin' ::)
I'm not sure if problems will solve themselvesWell some people will address them... (we hope?)
Yeah, if I remember well, every mods were announced: Last time Omega's, Titi's and Arch's new positions. Do you require a whole list about the mods? I don't see the reason, why you need a list, when you can read the "Moderator" word under people's name (exception: RainCT and me).Yes, but I'm talking about more recent ones, old ones are/was OK... ::)
Nah, I'm caught up with the "random people for mods" attack. I don't know whether it included me, or notI see, well, you're ok. :)
Being moderator is an amazing hobby Cheesy As someone stated on one of the anti-mods topic: being a moderator is not a privilege, but a work!I agree.. :thumbup:
However, I still claim that it's quite hard to read all posts and topics, while we are still having lives.
Mods don't update the theme, Gabbe, only Omega does...and he has like a life, which is more important than Glest...for him this is like a hobby IMO.Thank you for the compliment. If only I had one of those... :-[

I do not know when to expect to get this done. Hopefully soon, but as I stated, I am very busy (plus school is wrapping up, its my birthday this weekend, and I have work). In the meantime, there's an icon on sticky posts (a thumbtack) that symbolizes the sticknessI see...well...happy early birthday if you aren't going to be on... :O 16 huh? Cool. :)
Sorry for the delay, and thank you for your patience (or impatience?). :swordman:Yeah, it's both. No Problem... ::) For me at least...
Is this RainCT still active though? To my knowledge, he is not...
I talked to him via PM sometime recently, he's contactable, but I recall he's working on another game right now.What one?
I saw that the last person (Or should I say bot) that registered posted nothing... Ever!... Yet...Yes, a lot of them are like that.
OT: There were a lot of bots, who posted, but their posts were removed. (Gabbe had a quite good conversation with a bot xD )Yes, I wonder why...maybe because they are somewhat alike...Joking. ::)
You need to enable flash in the admin panel. It is not recomended to let users post flash.Then again, that was more than 4 years ago, who knows... ::)
To enable it go to Admin > Posts and Topics > Enable "Embed flash into posts".
[flash]http://url_to_movie.swf[/flash] - displays a URL to the flash movie or embeds the movie depending on forum settings (by default, the option to embed flash is disabled)http://mbnx.net/info/en/smf_bbcode/
Can we have flash apps running on the forum? like flash games? cause i would love to play "hungarian card" with you in the OT section :PYes I can indeed, but I am strictly not doing that. It opens too many security risks.

There's already a "post your ideas for Glest improvement here" thread. Why not just sticky that and call it a day? Plus, I know GAE has a bug tracker and I'd imagine that MG probably does too, so it's all a bit redundant.Because, for one reason, Modman doesn't really have the time to update his first post...so...besides, most people just create new threads...

Not OT ::): Yeah, I see.Hmm, I just stuck with a greenish grey. I tried darker and lighter greys, as well as gold, and neither caught my eye as good. I like this one. Once I fix it, I'll upload.
Hmm, not sure, others...? suggestions? can't think of any good colors...right now. :|
BTW, did you notice the awesome topic names? I spent a few minutes making those for the thrill of the screenshot!Yeah, I just didn't really want to go OT... ::)
Aren't the one liners often in response to someone else's on topic post though? I think making them take up less space by only having the poster's name, title and message on the same line should make it bearable. The only smf mod i could find that comes close to this is http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1890 but it's a voting system and hides the post or greys it out, and doesn't make it smaller.chat section?

Or perhaps have a comments system where people comment on the post rather than being on topic and can easily be hidden (maybe automatically after a time), reduced in size, moved to its own thread or maybe deleted in a cleaning process. That might be a substitute for mods writing in other people's posts tooYes, possibly, there is probably a Mod for that... ::) hmm...
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=7 might be worth a look at.hmm, I think a recent SMF forum was using that Mod, or something alike.
To discuss quickly, I'm thinking of purging the entire database of every user that is older than 2 weeks (28 days) and has not posted at all (zero posts). I see no problems with that. I'll give a few days to object for some reason then perform it (after a backup, of course :)). This will reduce the database size, making backups easier, give a more accurate count of the current number of forum accounts, and stop the bots from hogging all the server space!I did, a count and approximately 3245 out of 4723 Members have 0 Posts. :-X
Implimented! Enjoy the sticky backgrounds! I also had to change the logo path so its now hosted on another site. Not preferable, but the server is having trouble for some reason retrieving it... Oh well, not much worse this way... Just a style inconvieniance.Yeah, I saw...see...after. ::)

Excelent, I'm taking a look at the first link's method. Wish me luck. Now, how to fit this into my timetable...?... ::)
So no separation? Wasn't that what titi asked for too? :|Nah, the link was outdated. I have no clue what you mean by "separated topics" though I assume its the different background colors. The links in that post are all broken, so... :-X
Yeah, the color could be better...but it's OK for at least...now? ::)Suggest a color here!
if (isset($previousTopicClass) && strpos($previousTopicClass, 'sticky') !== false && !$topic['is_sticky'])
echo '
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td colspan="5">' . $txt[70] . '</td>
</tr>';
$previousTopicClass = $topic['class'];Did you try this? I mean separating the stickied topics from the normal ones like titi said... ::)Suggest a color here!I don't know, show us examples... ::)
Any news about the sticky posts? Maybe its possible to show them a bit separated from the others if the font ideas cause too much trouble?
Or change the background color or something else.
I think it's fine the way it is. :|Me too, for now, but that was what I thought...before... (what I said in my last post)...
I think it's fine the way it is. :|I'm good for it for now really.
Mods should remember that sticky posts should be carefully handled, and not to get too many. Also, outdated sticky posts can be unstickied, and stickie posts that don't require a reply can be locked when to keep the inexperienced from posting in very old topics. Of course, we also need a hard limit on the number of stickies, I say about 6 tops.True...I agree.
Ultfd, yeah, but the mods section is probably the most over-posted, and when there is qwuality mods, i think they deserve sticky status, and what should sticky time limit be?I know, but the limit is not really a limit, more of a recommendation at least for now, I think...
Ultfd, yeah, but the mods section is probably the most over-posted, and when there is qwuality mods, i think they deserve sticky status, and what should sticky time limit be?That's completely true (and you changed your image AGAIN). Sooo many incomplete mods or beta mods, or square people mods exist that aren't really worth playing for more than a one-time thrill (just because square people make you laugh). However, it might be better to have one main topic that has links to the high quality mods threads, and have it locked (if you want to reply to an individual mod, just do that on that mods thread. No reason to reply to a list).

Edit polls - Decides whether or not people in this membergroup can edit their polls, any polls, or no polls at all. This permission allows a user to edit the polls options, reset the poll, edit the maximum number of votes, and edit the expiration time of the poll. In order to edit the maximum number of votes and the expiration time a user needs to have the 'Moderate board' permission.WTF?
How? I can't find such a mod (for our version) and it has nothing to do with our theme. :bomb:Alright, Omega...
Disclaimer: Implementing my “fix†permanently breaks the functionality of polls where the users can change their vote.Hmm...maybe not... I don't know. :| If not, set a reminder so people will remember to select that option...maybe? :|
Step 1: For the poll in question, in the Admin panel of SMF allow the users to change their vote.
Step 2: In the Sources folder, in the Poll.php file around line 130 you will see this block of code:
// Update the poll totals.
db_query(â€
UPDATE {$db_prefix}poll_choices
SET votes = votes – 1
change “SET votes = votes – 1†to “SET votes = votesâ€

Having it on the forums would be a lot more convenient in my opinion, because you wouldn't have to monitor another separate thing.We do have it on the forums. (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?topic=4480.0)
Subforums in GAE and MegaGlest Forums:thumbup: Confusing? Can't be too bad... :|
I say just have a stickyed topic on the forms for it.People would ignore that... ::)

We do have it on the forums.
People would ignore that... ::)Why wouldn't they ignore the sub-boards?
Sub-boards FTW! I guess. :|
That's generic, we need a specific place where people can post individual feature requests for either MegaGlest or GAE(or both...), and discuss them.Why should a good idea be restricted to one engine? Additionally, if somebody wants a gift, it's not really their choice who the giver is.
Those threads people don't really like, I think...as there are so many ideas in your thread, your own idea will a less chance of getting known... I guess. so...Of course nobody wants to stand in line, but splitting the line into 50 doesn't make a difference if there's still only one ticket booth at the end.
Why wouldn't they ignore the sub-boards?Some people would, but there should be a better chance they they would ignore stickied threads rather then sub-boards...
Here's a (maybe revolutionary) thought: Has anybody actually asked the GAE/MG people what they'd prefer? ::) They're the ones taking the requests, after all.Sure, if they have the time...
Of course nobody wants to stand in line, but splitting the line into 50 doesn't make a difference if there's still only one ticket booth at the end.Well...then.
Make 1 now forum called feature requests.
Cons: One board for both MG and GAE. May be messier?This stands out, for me.
That's like having the data folders/content for the game outside the game folder mixed in with all the other game folders in your Program Files folder, instead of inside the game folder with the executable. That simply shows off back organization. Roll Eyes
The only problem I can think of is if people are requesting a feature for both engines, where do they put it?General Discussion, unfortunately or not, as always? :|
The only problem I can think of is if people are requesting a feature for both engines, where do they put it?Post it in both... ::)
That would be like a "bad practice"...Maybe but it solves the problem..
If there is a better solution then that, well...wouldn't it be...better? :| :PThat would be like a "bad practice"...Maybe but it solves the problem..
But there isn't, yet...I mean the other solutions... ::)
Yeah, maybe put it out in the "news"...or a PM...or something else? I wouldn't know... :OI announced it... Everyone should have a PM stating to take a look at this topic or something like that. And I mean everyone... Took 5 minutes to send to everyone!
We'll see, maybe one more week? Or a half...etc.
Actually, posting in both would be a much better idea because each engine needs a separate discussion on that feature. IE: If I post a feature request about improving the AI, and silnarm say's he'll do it, then that's for GAE. But if it's just for one board, it causes confusion. Is GAE doing it, or MG, or both?!I mentioned somewhere why I think having a single forum for features is a good idea but I can't find it. Anyway, the idea is to have a forum that has non-implementation specific ideas to be discussed. When MG, GAE, or another unknown branch decide to implement it they announce in that topic and start a new topic in their own board to discuss the specific implementation and announce progress.
Either way, it would be a good thing to have them separate. Thus, I vote for subforums.
Captcha would be good, but often gives a picture where even humans can't register xD Anyway, if I remember well, the board is already using an anti-bot system (or that was the previous board???), but the spammers, who want to spam, will register, and run their bots later.Yah, true. Depends though, for the phpBB, wowza was so hard for me, could not register on a particular forum to answer a question about glest, then softcoder helped me do it... :thumbup:
Anyway, I would like to see some more protection.:thumbup:(less work)
Well uh, from what I know, you just got John to help...so :thumbup: but true, when in the future those new bots...hopefully not. :|(less work)
It's true though, that sometimes even humans can get captcha's wrong. I know I've seen one or two that were unreadable and had to request another...Yeah I know, SMF's captcha is fine, readable at least... :thumbup:

Regarding the discussion on whether or not to move Little Helper's model thread to the Tools board, I think I agree that it should probably go there, along with the other "model dump" threads. I think Mods does better as a place where mods are released and discussed, where Tools is all about the technical side of development, and that would include resources like models. Am I right?
let the ones that are locked down, they are only there for our special models, that are good and finished completely :) you only have to move the big one.
EDIT: maybe tools board should be renamed...development?
"Tools and Resources"?
It fits better, but i would still say development, because that covers more, and the thing is too have as little uhm.."boards" on the front page as possible right?
but it still covers more?

The quote links thing is an overlook. I'll have to fix it. Thanks for noticing. They should be white in the preview too. When I set it so links in the preview were gold, it must've broke the quote links.I see, well you are welcome :) .
Anyway, to answer your questions:Hmm, thanks, now how about the poll. ... I remember now, softcoder was getting really annoyed at people about asking for new features...ones that especially would be hard to add.
Its not quite the large majority I was looking for, but I think I will put in subforums in the GAE and MG boards. Expect them in about an hour or so, I gotta do something first.Yeah, I agree...and know :-/ ...
I also have to fix a slight overlook that I noticed when I passed the page into the WC3's verifier. I forgot the type and language attributes of a javascript tag, which are optional, but required to make it completely 100% XHTML safe, so I can display that button at the bottom of the page.I see, hmm...
They are sub boards, though "child boards" is just the name SMF gave it.I know...
Maybe I will try one of those mods.OK.

It would be nice if the "Jump to:" menu at the bottom was tall enough that it didn't need a scroll bar. It's a bit annoying.Hmm, that should be part of the theme, so it should be changable...
I mean, if I want to switch boards, I don't want to see the page I'm on anyways, so don't worry about taking up space.
So, the next version of the theme requires:That should be it. Unless we forgot something?
-Fix Javascript tag so its XHTML compliant :D
-Fix link color of quote headers in previews
-Remove limit from goto options box height.
Anything else I forgot about?
--Ah, I didn't notice that. Though I can't seem to remove it at the moment. Session verification failed... Great... -OmegaI see. Well in the future we would probably need to edit the poll for something else, so then problem solved...I guess.
yes my topics, but people still post on them...anyways a chatroom for glest would be good...mhm I would probably move to another forum if the OT were gone...its so fun...IRC, or create one yourself on meebo or something. ::)
#glest-chat or something.and the IRC's were unpopular because its too hard to communicate with IRCs to lots of people. Forum boards work well with around the world and shifting schedules of its members.Hmm, there still isn't a lot of people in the Glest Community. (Maybe before we had more I guess, not sure.)
no, not karma, like if i want harsh criticism on my mod ;)Karma would be the closest thing in terms of mods...SMF mods, so that is what I mean.

Oops! Thanks for catching that.Quote from: "Forum News"GAE 3.0 is out, with support for more players, new UI, and much, much more!GAE 0.3 not...
Looking at the wiki forum page, it says we have more than 7000 members. It's true, but only cause of the bots...are we really going to keep them?Yes, it's mostly because of bots. We don't have over 7000 *members*, we have more than 7000 registered accounts. That page also mentions that there are a large number of bot accounts and attempts to delete it will have to wait till SMF 2 is no longer an RC. Basically, there's no way to get an accurate number of human people...
Anyways, without them we would have around 2000 actual members...probably.
Oh, sorry. This is what happens when I skim...All the addons I could find for the for SMF 2RC. No plans to upgrade to the RC yet. It can't be much further from being "stable" now... Still, the biggest problem is compatability, and a lot of work will have to be done to check the themes and various mods to make sure they're compatable with SMF2. Will have to look into things some more really.
For removing the bots, I think there was an addon that would help...I'll see.
Perhaps have a rule that you need at least 1 post after 6 months or your account gets deleted. I don't think there is any reason to have an account if you aren't going to post.Well, if we could do that, I'm pretty sure a month would be better...
I sorted the forum members by number of posts and the 0 posts start at page 31 and there are 50 members per page so 30 * 50 = 1500 members are estimated to be real.Yeah that's what I did before.
Do what? :confused:
- Activity Bar: Shows activity in people's user profiles. (gotta change the color in the stylesheet of the bar)
I disagree with "Delete inactive users" since a person with a 1000 posts 2 years ago probably wouldn't want their account deleted (and disassociated with all their posts) even though they aren't posting or visiting regularly anymore.Oh, it wouldn't delete inactive, meaning old accounts, it would only delete accounts with ZERO posts, which are usually bots or spammers that are at least x days old. For example, I would set it to delete all users 60 days old or older with no posts. Disadvantages? Zero. Pros? Tons.

Well, we can't use commas because some countries use those as decimals. I can manually remove the spaces if needed though.Not sure...I just remember either commas were used before, or no spaces. Not sure...
I'm gonna see if I can fix it so that the GAE Team has full access to this board.OK, that's good. How would you though...

Done. You won't notice much difference though. Mostly just security enhancements and minor bug fixes. SMF 2.0 RC4 is still where all the new shiny stuff is Wink (coincidentally, it looks great).Yep, I know. I checked the changelog...so I thought we still might as well upgrade.

Can the topic be changed to add [Implemented v0.3.2]? I'd do it but I don't have moderator access to the subboard.Hadn't noticed 'til now, but neither do I :-\
Looks like the board still hasn't accustomed to DST...researched and looks like it is a SMF problem...since DST occurs at different times all over the world.First of all, a quick test of post times...
Maybe this (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1504) mod will help...too bad I think it isn't compatible with 1.1.12 :/
Yeah, I figured that out. Good luck on (reuploading???)/fixing the Glest theme. Thank you for your time for all of this...but the time on the board is...important.I don't understand... All my files are uploading fine, and full filesize, but when the board extracts them, all the files are empty (caused a lot of trouble before I realized the empty files, which crashed the entire board). I'll have to try and get it to work a bit better...
But at least the good part is that the timezones are up...and the board itself.
heh, every time I see the original theme of SMF, it seems so bright now...
Edit: haha the activity bar actually looks better now than in the Glest theme... :/
As a note though, I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the time zone's working properly here... They seem to be going totally wonky on the glest theme, and that will take a while to fix. They will probably have to be disabled, at least temporarily (sorry).That's fine. I hope sooner or later that it'll work with the Glest theme though. I mean it's not a big thing, but that mod would be useful, as it would be easier to choose the correct time/timezone.
You prefer how the activity bar looks here? Is that how you'd prefer it to look on the Glest theme (that's easily possible, thanks to HTML5 gradients).Well, I'm not sure.on the Glest theme, the activity bar's red and green color kinda seems to be too dark to me. I mean it isn't that dark, but dark enough so it kinda doesn't fit. I like how it is on the normal theme, but I'm not sure how it would look like on the Glest theme. I guess we could try it later.
I decided against removing the time zone thing, since it seems to be harmless enough for now, and should work if you switch to the default theme, change your time zone, then switch back (tested, and seems to be working for me, though I can't confirm any other timezones. Anyone?).:thumbup: Works for me. Then again, I think we both "use" the same timezone. :/
Changes required for v2.6:Hmm...it still says v2.5. (At least, right now)
OK. Hopefully somehow it will work later, and that the developer will update it. Since, it is a good and useful mod for SMF.Well, it's not the mod itself. It's compatible with this version of SMF, but it's conflicting with something in the theme (man, I can't wait to be able to use version 3 for the RC... All the themes for the 1.1.x versions of SMF were based on another theme, and thus, is extremely messy... The new version of the Glest theme is much cleaner, better looking, stabler, and more fun [note to self: experiment with partial transparency in drop down menus]).QuoteI decided against removing the time zone thing, since it seems to be harmless enough for now, and should work if you switch to the default theme, change your time zone, then switch back (tested, and seems to be working for me, though I can't confirm any other timezones.

Hmm...it still says v2.5. (At least, right now)Oh, the version of the theme I uploaded is 2.5 (up from 2.4, the previous version, because I had to make some minor fixes to make it work again, and because the board gets fussy when I throw in new versions with the same version number). 2.6 will be the next one, which will bring out those features.

I remember now that the features that you're talking about, they already are on the forum if you use the SMF default mod, at least the activity bar on the profile page. (This was why I thought that the version # was wrong.)
Well, some mods use modifications to the theme in order to be displayed. When I first installed the activity bars, they were improperly formated because the theme didn't contain the necessary changes. I quickly modified it to show the green and red bars that it does today, but forgot about it on the profile page, etc. The default theme should always have them because it's the only one that mods can apply to in 1.1.x.QuoteOh, the version of the theme I uploaded is 2.5 (up from 2.4, the previous version, because I had to make some minor fixes to make it work again, and because the board gets fussy when I throw in new versions with the same version number). 2.6 will be the next one, which will bring out those features.Heh...I'm kinda confused now.

Your guess is as good as mine. (You may have noticed sometimes that one of the images didn't load on the board index. That was because this one was missing).
what is it for?
November-16-10 3:35:39 PM
Hmm...it's fine for me. Maybe Silnarm should try to switch to the original theme, reset the timezone, and then try it again? Or maybe the mod has a problem with that timezone?My best guess is that the old server offset is being overriden by the new timezones. Plus, the default "timezone" is to use the server timezone... I really need to get that theme patch in soon, I suppose.
Hmm, is Silnarm still using the basic forum time, or the timezone. I remember before it also posted as server time on the "basic" one...
News: Megaglest 3.3.7 - Beta 2 is released!I'm pretty sure this is wrong.
Ugh, MG is Titi's job... Handling that specific news item I prefer to reserve for him, since I have no clue what's happening with MG, and am always a few versions behind it... I recommend you PM him, to attract his attention to the outdated news line... :-[Quote from: NewsNews: Megaglest 3.3.7 - Beta 2 is released!I'm pretty sure this is wrong.
- the link is wrong.
- Isn't it supposed to be 3.3.7.2
You did make sure you set your timezone/time offset in the profile page, right? (at the moment, time zones can only be changed in the default theme, but once set, work on any theme. Not sure if the time offset (the old system where you merely specified hour offsets, with DST used as the server uses it) still works).
Yeah, as Ultifd pointed out before, there's a bug related to DST, and the mod should fix it. But... You can't access the mod on any theme other than the default at the moment... :(You did make sure you set your timezone/time offset in the profile page, right?

Changing back to the default theme and resetting did the trick, it was previously working though. We recently went to DST here, so I'm guessing that's when it broke.

By the way, SMF LLC's (Limited Liability Corporation) conversion to an NPO (Non-profit Organization) doesn't really effect us. They will likely use a different license, but it will still be freely available and I don't think we'll have to change a thing for that decision. Didn't bother download RC5 yet... I'm waiting for the final, then I can wrap up the Glest Theme, update the forum (found an alternative way that doesn't require FTP access), and get everything awesome. :) However, to ensure everyone is happy, we'll just wait for the final. Besides, the RC's break the theme every release... :P
Apparently the only real changes that needs to be made for 2.0 is SMF's license...hopefully that will happen soon!
SMF 2.0 Candidate 5 and SMF 1.1.13 have been released (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=421547.msg2948711#msg2948711)
http://download.simplemachines.org
Lets update!
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=415691.0Hmm...that has the potential to be very nasty though, particularly if there's any inconsistencies between the structure of the database in 1.1.x and 2.0. There are a few mods for 2.0 though that can do this, so I'd be more assured waiting for a stable 2.0 before we try this. ;)
Perhaps you could use this method to delete spam accounts? Be careful though, if you do.
Doesn't look like it...I just removed 2 spam threads. Spam every week, yeah!Spammers with real email addresses? Well, at least it may stop the fakes... if there is any... :P
Radical new suggestion: Do what XKCD's forums do, the first reply posted by a new account requires an administer or moderator to approve the post before it is visible. After the first post is approved, all others become visible (if any more were created inbetween the first post and the approval) and no subsequent posts require this verification. This will mean a lot more work for our moderators, but seeing how crisp and clean the XKCD forums are, I'd say it most certainly works! I'm game with it, but since it affects the moderators a lot, I'll let you guys decide whether or not you want this.No thanks. I'm saying no NOT because it would be a bit more of work for moderators, but rather because I don't feel first posts should be "approved" and mostly newcomers are here to post problems with the two engines. I would only want this if there were 10 spam threads each day. Something like that.

I think it is missing golden lines at the end of the "reply" button aswell as the "logout" buttonThe "caps" for the menu ends? I tried, but the way that the menus are done just doesn't really give a way to do that well.
Hmm...Spiders? :|Yes, spiders. Spiders are the bots that search engines use to crawl through pages for indexing purposes. It was hidden before, but is shown now for no reason at all than besides a curiosity.
Hmm...we need still need to work on spam protection though.Allrighty, let me summarize what we got. When registering, users must pass a captcha and one simple word math problem (eg: "Two plus 3 minus 1 equals what? (Type a number)"). There's a few different questions chosen at random, and unless bot makers wish to tailor themselves to our site, that should be rather effective. As well, there is now a warning system for moderators (the orange exclamation mark on each post) which allows them to dock warning points to users. If they get warned too often, they'll be automatically muted. The report post button also works a bit better, since the moderate menu has a specific option to see all reported posts.
Well I've already deleted at least one spam topic since the move. :PWell, down the drain goes my fantasy. Let's pick an anti-spam mod. Not bad behavior though, that nastily crashed my testing server. :-\
Time to go over the list again. :DJeeze, there's a lot of them. Know of any that other boards use?
I no longer get any email notifications of topic replies, does this work for anyone else?Are you just not receiving the email for topics you subscribed to before the conversion (that probably would not be retained) or ones that you subscribed to after the conversion? If not sure, can you subscribe to a topic now and see if they work if the subscription begins on 2.0? It may just be a conversion thing, not SMF 2.0 itself.

Notice:Done. Some of you have new avatars.
As I previously mentioned, the avatar settings are incorrect, for legacy support. The correct way, we should be rejecting avatars above the max size limit (now 100x100px). As it is, we force all users to download the images, no matter how large they are, and let their browser resize it. This means they must download the entire image, even if it's a 1MB 1000x1000 image, and then the user's browser must resize it, which is actually a very intensive task amongst the things that browsers must do. In all honesty, I never realized that avatars were resized until this the board was upgraded, defaulting with more secure settings (reject everything over the size limit, but nothing could be done about existing images).
This makes it a security risk and an inconvenience. Personally, I consider HTML resizing evil and never use it, things like the wiki resize images and store them, but the Glest team has already stated they do not want to store avatars and attachments on their server and have had size issues with that in the past (it was enabled for a short period of time, if anyone remembers).
Thus, the bottom line is that we will be, as previously stated, reverting to the proper method of rejecting too large images and those with such images will have them forcibly removed and I will personally pick a random image from our available avatars. Thank you to those who already changed them, the James Bond image suits you anyway, Coldfusionstorm.
EDIT: Another bug I noticed with the resizing is that if a picture is smaller, it will enlarge the image unnecessarily, using up system resources and causing a blurred image. The revert to proper settings occurs tomorrow.
well, so much for my TF2 Sentry gif.....Sorry Zoy, you can change to whatever you wish by the way, my defaults are just to remove the too-large images. As for the AT-AT, I initially had in mind to choose a female Final Fantasy character as I did for most of the others, but I ran out of images that met my quality standards and realized there was no Tifa images. :P
i guess that AT-AT's are cool too....
(Omega, if you dont mind me asking, why'd you choose an AT-AT for me? not that it's a bad thing, im a Star Wars fan)
do you think that we will eventually get to the point where no one can join the forums due to extremely restrictive measures? we cant become the TSA of forums. so, Omega, where is the line? we may have to accept that spam will always be in our future....It's not excessive. Many forums bigger than ours use such a thing and are more successful and spam free. Perhaps at least a trial period?
Pizza (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14386) still has big pic.I thought you made a max size...
Darth_Sidion (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?action=profile;u=22974) still has huge pic.
The max size only goes into aspect when you choose the image. Images that were chosen before the max size was properly enforced were not affected, and must be manually removed. This is a limitation (not a bug) of the SMF software.Pizza (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?action=profile;u=14386) still has big pic.I thought you made a max size...

I think having to verify the first post is reasonable, so long as the moderators and admins don't all drop dead... in which case I think we have bigger problems to worry about. ;)According to the Statistics Center (https://forum.megaglest.org/index.php?action=stats), there's an average of 6.29 registrations per day, and that's for all time, which I suspect is actually smaller now that there's an improved anti-spam puzzle and the StopForumSpam database mod. If I had to take a guess, you'll end up managing an average of 4-5 registrations per day, and based on other statistics available only to administrators, the majority of these users won't even post once (about 90% of "spam" accounts created never post at all). So all in all, maybe a few posts per day, of which about 75% are going to be spam. With 3 active global moderators and 2 active administrators, I'm sure that we won't collapse from the weight. Of course, since it is more work for the moderators, the change will need unanimous agreement to take place.
I realized that even though I could upload the honeypot file to the board's server, there was the same problems as before with permissions, where it simply wouldn't let me run it.Well, could we just try to deal with that? PM Martino or something? Jose? If we could do that, I think there would be no problems...Almost every spam link I've seen here is at honeypot already.
Well, we can email Jose if we need to, but shall we take a look at how well StopForumSpam will go, I suppose? The main issue is not wanting to be too dependent on the Glest Team, since they have moved on to other projects.QuoteI realized that even though I could upload the honeypot file to the board's server, there was the same problems as before with permissions, where it simply wouldn't let me run it.Well, could we just try to deal with that?

Before some guy made an account and just PM me, he didn't post any thing.those bots are getting smarter......
No, I wasn't a bot, he needed help with a Vbros pack.True, but that is very very rare. If they aren't going to post, odds are, they won't need an account that hasn't been on for more than 2 weeks. The majority of such accounts are failed spammers who couldn't complete their post.
So I am saying if someone registers and doesn't post, it doesn't mean its a bot.

WHat is spiders?Search engine bots, like google. They browse the web and index pages, using special ways to identify themselves. They are not counted in view counts, and the count here serves only to show how many of these bots are indexing the board at any given moment.
That's the thing that baffles me about that bruce guy. All his posts are on topic but he clearly has a spammer's signature. I almost don't want to delete any of his posts since they don't really break any rules. :OCarylo81 looks kinda on topic there too. Or as close as can be on the off topic board.

Hahaha, when we have bots this smart.... Why do we even need us? :PRobots don't eat. The world's pizza supplies would fade away without us.

Whats with the ironic stop cencorship, cencor on the glest logo? Is there another bill that is threating the mighty internets? gosh, they just keep coming. Silly Americian Politicians.Apparently they are. And any site that seems to so much as hint of piracy could be blocked if their bill passes. With that being said, admittedly, nobody would care much about a small site like this, but I'm sure most of our members support the concept behind the freedom of speech, etc (take a look at the infographic on the site the censor links to). Not to mention all of us probably use Wikipedia and Youtube, some of the most vulnerable sites from SOPA (let's be honest here, it's no secret there's loads of music and movies on Youtube of...questionable legal stance, not to mention full-front video guides showing how to pirate, it'd be the first target).
By the way, there's a "critical" security patch out for SMF for some days now. Unfortunately they don't exactly tell you what is wrong, and there is no public source code repository, both quite lame.Oh, thanks for reminding me about that. I actually did notice it before, but was (and still is) giving me 406 errors when trying to use the direct install (406 means unacceptable headers, and not sure why its occurring either). At any rate, I manually installed it. As for what the fixes were, they were just a few potential security risks that a skilled hacker could exploit.
With Firefox 10 I get to see a bunch of broken images for the toolbar icons on the WYSIWYG editor since about two days.
For example, one of those icons tries to load from here (which currently returns a 404):

Thank you for looking into the issue and for taking those backups, Josep!No idea what Jose does, but I take weekly backups myself. Note, however, that my backups are limited to the SQL data. In other words, it saves the structure and content of the boards, but media, such as the theme, smilies, etc can't be saved via the forum backups (as a side note, though, I do have a separate theme backup). A full backup for the site can only be taken by Jose (or one of the Glest team members with server access). But as it stands, the important stuff should be more or less safe. Titi and the other members of the Glest Team are also able to create backups, as well.
Do you copy those backups to a remote server, too? And how often do you create full backups?
We're a little worried because we've seen whole forum archives with several years of community building vanish forever due to data losses and hardware failures before, and would really like to prevent this from repeating here. I tend to be a slacker sysadmin and know many others who are, so I'm just worried you may be just like me when it comes to hobby / non-commercial projects like Glest. ;-)
Titi tried yesterday, but it resulted in a 0 byte file. Apparently PHP's processing time limit hits before the SMF script to create DB backups is able to send the file to the user, resulting in an empty download.He has to untick the "compress with gzip" box. It seems to take too long. Uncompressed, it's a 78MB file. I can compress it myself in about 10 seconds (as a gzip), but then again, this is a 2700K overclocked and with minimal background processes. The shared servers are likely far more sluggish.
He tried both options but neither worked for him. This could be due to a lesser downstream bandwidth than yours. http://www.adminer.org/ (http://www.adminer.org/) is a nice single file alternative to phpmyadmin, i find.What's wrong with PHPMyAdmin? I've used it before and it works well (although it should be noted that the timeout limit is set in PHP's ini, which should be password protected). However, only the Glest team is able to modify this setting.
