@Wolfshanze Yeah, like I said MB was growing on me especially because the the nostalgia factor. If you played this game you definitely remember that MB prominently in the upper left corner.

But I guess it was decided by Larry some time back to call it Classic. I can ask Wizards what they call it internally, if anything. If there is something official, maybe we can get them to put out an official “statement” via an interview or something. But for now, it’s Classic.

If users upvote your posting by klicking the heart symbol

this adds to your “reputation”.

Additionally there appears to be a “reward system” that adds for example 200 “points” once your post count exceeds 20,000, regardless of what you have posted (including for example TripleA turn postings).

So “reputation” is the sum of all upvotes (maybe subjective quality, maybe a simple confirmation of taking notice) and quantity (mass posting reward), which - benevolently - might be interpreted as reward for long time membership.

Would signatures be a good perk for patrons?

This setting didn’t seem to work.

This shouldn't look like this.

In case you are looking for information on and support for TripleA please go to the new dedicated TripleA-Support forum:

Thank you :smiley:

Search was causing the DB to crash sometimes. So instead of getting an alert in the middle of the night, I’ve set it up so that the servers should restart on their own.

@Carolina said in Forum improved???:

For something like house rules, you need to be able to sort (for example) everything related to “mines”.

Please use the Search for it 0_1542795131651_search4.PNG

Klicking on this symbol brings you to 0_1542795184336_search5.png where you can enter your keyword .
Or klick on the gear wheels and specify the search according to your needs:

The search has improved a lot compared to the old forum software.

to @djensen @Panther @redrum . You all have put a lot of work into the transition. @simon33 has been helpful with his comments as well.

And thank you to everyone else helping out with the change.

It may take a while to get used to the new program, but it’s gonna work just fine : )

Peace

@djensen
We additionally have the “Home-button” 0_1542475153872_home.PNG that brings us to www.axisandallies.org - what is fine, IMHO.

Now those two buttons (Logo and Categories-View) actually lead to the forum home:

The Logo-Button is configurable in the settings. So when experimenting with the setting in …

… I did not find anything better than your pre-setting (=forum home) as default.

Maybe it should be just pointed out that every user can individually set his preferred page there (for example a special category):

@aequitas-et-veritas said in Monthly introduce yourself topics:

So a sort of automted greeter or even this idea of yours would contribute a Lot!

There will also be an automated chat message for first time members. :smile:

@DMcLaren I fixed this. It’s a stopgap but at least it’s working!

If you suddenly experience slow load times on the forum, please report it here. However, please do not report “gut feel” slowness. Instead, if you think the site might be slow, open this image in a new tab and force reload it. If it takes 3+ seconds to load, then the forum is slow. To be even more helpful

Please report:

date time (with timezone) approximate or exact time to load that image please speficy whether it’s an approximate or exact timing

To get the exact time, open “developer tools” in your browser, which on Chrome is Ctrl-Shit-i or Cmd-Opt-i And do this, after clicking “Clear,” when the cursor goes off screen, force reload the page at that time.

After logging in this morning it works here, too. So it’s indeed a matter of reloading.

This:

| Header 1 | Header 2 | Header 3 | | --- | --- | --- | | Cell | Cell | Cell |

Makes this:

Header 1 Header 2 Header 3 Cell Cell Cell

@MrRoboto said in Two features I miss from the old forum:

1.: Indicator, in which threads I have posted
In the old forum, every thread had a little icon below the title indicating that I have posted in it. I loved it for two reasons: Checking out old games of mine and also find games very easily, even when I already read the most recent post earlier without being able to download the file.

Where was the indicator?

Found it:

0_1542226599549_cae8e800-9082-44eb-b97c-28dbe6d0934d-image.png

2.: Path at the bottom (not that important)
After posting in a thread, I am on the bottom of the screen. In the old forum, the path to the thread was at the very top AND at the very bottom, which meant I could easily click on it to return to the subforum. The new forum lack this and only have it at the top.

Some of these things are theme dependent. Right now we’re using the default theme but it is possible to either make requests to the NodeBB developers or create a child theme. I do eventually want to create a child theme. Or possibly use a theme called Onyx.

@djensen Nothing to worry about I think. We know how to handle it.

@simon33 Pinned posts are not obvious enough. @Gargantua mentioned this too.
