✅ Forum Migration To Do List

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@djensen thank you for reminding me again.😀

@djensen said in ✅ Forum Migration To Do List:

@simon33 I might use a bot instead since it’s already done.

Not sure I understand. That’s already possible? How?

[djensen]

You would do something like

@bot roll 5d6

And a bot would respond with the result. The dice roller I made does basically the same thing except the bot is more flexible.

[djensen]

Since my work here is not limited to this To Do list and so you have an idea what and when change have been made. I started a monthly log:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32532/forum-update-log-nov-2018

The thread is locked to make it easy to read. @Panther please feel free to add items you’ve done as you see fit.

The log will also help me know when to stop or take a break.

Sorry I’m still confused. Exactly what do I type to use this bot?

[djensen]

@simon33 It’s not ready yet. But the syntax will similar to what we had before.

Two questions.

1. Is there a way to change the font in chat. I just tried to send a message to someone and had to change the skin in order for the font colour to stand out. I would rather change the skin.
2. And is the list of active users in a thread telling you who is currently (or very recently) online?

And also a huge thank you to Djensen and anyone else doing the work. The new site looks great and I really appreciate all the effort that has gone into keeping this going and improving the experience.

@farmboy

1. Sounds like a bug. What skin were you using when you couldn’t see the chat.

2. Click the Users icon in the Navbar. The online option shows you who is online. The grey dot on everybody’s profile will go to green or red after we upgrade this weekend. Green is online, red is offline. There’s no let of recently online, that would be nice. I’ll look for a plug-in.

@djensen The skin I was using was slate. Messages that have been posted already appeared in a white font on the dark grey background but when I was trying to write the message it was a dark colour(maybe black but it looked like a very dark blue) on the dark grey background. Could barely make it out.

[JDOW]

He Gents,

one questions: In the old forums I could set a screen name which was different than my account name. Is this still possible? With the new forums my screen name is my account name again. Can I set this again or is this function gone?

@JapanDOWRound1Fan
Yes it is possible to change your Username and your “Full Name”.
I have described it in detail in the Tips&Tricks-thread:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32443/tips-and-tricks-nodebb/8

[djensen]

@JapanDOWRound1Fan The caveat here is that (for now) only the username is used on posts and for @ mentions.

[JDOW]

@djensen ok. Thanks!

[Panther]

@JapanDOWRound1Fan However it is no problem to change your username to “JDOW” (your “old” screenname) if you want.

[JDOW]

@djensen I just changed my username then!

Hi guys!

2 questions and please excuse me because for sure you will have treated them already but I don’t find where.

1. Why I see various patrons for some players and others only have one? Of course I am referring to cases like mine (had 4 silver ones previously). And would it be possible a tank icon similar to the ones we had in the past? I know it may be just not suitable/possible but loved those!! Haha

2. Is the link to unread replies to the threads were you wrote once still available somehow or something similar? I spend time searching now that before I could save.

Good job in any case! Many thanks!

Juan

@JuanSpain
Check out the the Tips&Tricks tag it will answer all those questions. But …

1. Edit your profile. You’ll see all your “groups” which are your badges, select all the ones you want to show. You might need to Ctrl/Cmd Click or Shift Click to select them.

2. Click the “Unread” icon in the navbar (second from the logo). Then you’ll see “All Topics” instead, select “Watched Topics” You can also do this on recent (third from logo) and I put a short cut for recent watched topics, it’s the eye icon.

Everything you need to do is available here and more than before. And as long as you know how it’s easier to find the suff you need. Except your TripleA games so I made a shortcut for that as well.

[JuanSpain]

@djensen Fantastic! Many thanks!! Works great! Will miss the tank icons, but progress is progress!! Haha

@djensen many thanks for all the hard work.

I’ve noticed one minor bug. When logging in, the forum will not load the darkly skin but will keep the default until I go to settings and reset the skin there.

The problem does not occur for me while the auto-login is still working (so when returning to the forum the skin remains to the one I’ve set)

I have the same issue with not directly loading the dark skin when I login. After logging in a simple refresh will trigger the skin (less cumbersome then going to settings)
