It might be OT, but when we were talking about RainCT...that would count too.
Since this is the topic most related to this forum, that's why I posted.
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.  ::)

End Semi OT/

Um...let's see.
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=742 maybe this?  :|
OR
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=279480.0 (So, use the embed...function I guess. then put a HTML tag?  :| )
---
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=80838.0
OR as in this topic, they say that you can already embed it...but it is disabled...for spambots I guess.
Quote
You need to enable flash in the admin panel.  It is not recomended to let users post flash.
To enable it go to Admin > Posts and Topics > Enable "Embed flash into posts".
Then again, that was more than 4 years ago, who knows...  ::)
Although backed up from here,
Quote
[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)

...
We'll see.

Yes I can indeed, but I am strictly not doing that. It opens too many security risks.



Anyway, now that I finished Kips site, I'll try and do the sticky topic thingy. :angel:

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...
Now it seems subforums will be the best idea, but there aren't a lot...alot...of ideas...for now...  ::)
hmm....

(moved from another topic)
MAYBE glest should have a chat box just like the other forums
chat section? YES WE NEED IT NOW!
It would probably cut down on the pages and pages of one-line responses.

Hmm...well, if you really, want it, provide a "solution"...mod or site I guess in this case...  :|
Yeah, maybe, but still, it really only depends on what type of the user it is...person, I guess...  ::)
Well, maybe later, after Omega finishes with the sticky thing.  ::)

EDIT: Since I think Omega is "editing", the theme (glest) forum theme is not loading

Unable to load the main_above' template.'
oh well, I used the trick
?theme=1
...until later.  ::)

Use ?theme=1 at the end of the URL to your forum (in the address bar), to get the default theme.

EDIT: Yeah must be.
EDIT: OK again

Sorry about taht. Even i had to use that hack to get back in to fix the error. I tried to upload the latest version, but it failed. I tested the theme perfectly, but must be something wrong with my archive structure or something because it was the installation that failed. After temporarily reverting back to the default, I reinstalled the last stable version of the theme. Everything should be working now.

Sorry, I'll go test the installers next time. Anyway, a screen of what the sticky thing looks like (couldn't decide on a color, suggestions?):

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.

BTW, did you notice the awesome topic names? I spent a few minutes making those for the thrill of the screenshot!

It would probably cut down on the pages and pages of one-line responses.
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.

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 too.

@Omega: I like the colour, it reminds me of the Steam client. :D  lol on the topic names.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=7 might be worth a look at.

Well, I think that would be good...besides that that has the same problem with the idea of having a karma system...  ::) I think we all know why...  :| But maybe...Omega's choice.  ::) (Oh, and maybe partially ours too,  :|  :O )

Yes, possibly, there is probably a Mod for that...  ::) hmm...

hmm, I think a recent SMF forum was using that Mod, or something alike.
Oh, it was the SMF actual forum itself...  ::)

Oh, on second thought, I like that color too..., it's fine for me, but possibly maybe something else would be better...  :|

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
*un-sealed...* :look:
Hmm....

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.

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

What I did was add a bit of PHP to add a class to the stickied topics, then applied the color styles to that class. Work for 30 minutes... :P

Yeah, the color could be better...but it's OK for at least...now?  ::)
Suggest a color here!
