  • Activity Bar: Shows activity in people's user profiles. (gotta change the color in the stylesheet of the bar)
Do what? :confused:

look; 100% activity on me..what a suprize XD

It all seems good and better and best to me, but I felt that the activity bar is kind of not the same style as the rest of the forum, idk, just my opinion.

I think the activity bar is great, just needs to be a bit smaller and put underneath the user icon.  :P

Also I noticed a little mistake; on the user profiles where it says Post per day, there is a comma not a decimal.

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.

i agree with deleting inactive users, but then, if we do, our registered user count will be cut in half!

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.

I don't have an exact percentage of server space, though the majority of the space is from the actual posts themselves. However, it will still take up a lot of data, and of the amount of data for all users, bot and empty accounts make up far too much. Plus, we'd have more accurate statistics. of course, since the mod doesn't work with our version, this isn't happening any time soon... :(

@activity bar: Yes, it's not the same style, but I tried a grey activity bar and it really didn't look so pretty.

How it Works:
The activity bar requires a certain number of posts in the last *30* days in order to be 100% full. New accounts won't have much activity, because of that, and people gone for more than a month are considered "inactive". When they post again, their activity will increase.

That doesnt mean i`ll have Zero activity in the start of each month right?
kk, it is fine anyways :) maybe push it a little bit up?

Sure for me, go ahead and delete them, and also those older than 3 months with 1 posts?

Hmm...I'm not so sure about the activity bar...Since, well, it's kinda no fun when you're always at 100%... oh well. Anyways, but why is there extra space...

What about making the activity bar decrease at a faster rate?

I could, but that would require to be done either (1) less time, which has a major con that when you go on vacation for a week, you return with zippo activity, or (2) more post reqs, which has the major con that new users would have low activity, even if they aren't explicitly inactive. The spaces as the thousands separator? Well, we can't use commas because some countries use those as decimals. I can manually remove the spaces if needed though.

As for the extra line breaks, I notice a few <br />'s added in by the activity bar, but not sure how to effectively remove them...

Not sure...I just remember either commas were used before, or no spaces. Not sure...

Fixed. Now there's just nothing at all. Commas, as much as I'd prefer them, won't do, since, as I mentioned, some countries use them as a decimal. The difference between 1,000 and 1000 is 999 for them (1.000 and 1000).

Anyways...maybe try to remove the poll again? It should work this time.

[Tried again and fail. The operation I need to do that to clean the board's outdated files would require direct server access, something I do not have. -Omega]

OK, someone update the "forum news" and make an announcement for the new megaglest 3.3.7 release...when whoever has the time.

Can the text editor be expanded so that it shows more text? It is currently so small and having to scroll a lot while making complicated effects on your First post for a faction (for example) is annoying and i think, unecesarry (damn how do i spell it again..)

Done. The GAE team members can now post on the announcements board as well.

Relatedly, as you know, there will be no further updates to this version of the board. I am experimenting for a conversion to 2.0, which has a resizable text field, which is exactly what your looking for (personally, the feature I really like is the quick post, which lets you post without going to a separate posting page, at the bottom of the actual topic! :))
