So, uh, about the new forums …

@panther said in Suggestion: removal of sub-forums:

@general-6-stars

It was about GeneralDiscussions/Politics actually.
I did not want to hurt your feelings, just separate different topics from each other. Simply the moderator’s job. :wink:

Ya. I get it

To save disk space, the old process was to delete old TripleA games. I won’t have to do that anymore.

Good to know, thanks DJ.

…
I can change the subject name at will, again and again.
I can modify and erase, again and again, almost all of the message body, except I cannot left it empty.

@Imperious:

That’s why in these cases the Moderator can simply move this to where it belongs. I have no idea why that hasn’t been done already. The solution is NOT to allow the OP to just delete a thread which contains others people’s posts.

Here is above, another alternative solution (while waiting a Moderator) that an Opening Poster can do on its own Opening post.

It is possible to left almost everything blank, except for 1 single character (a dot is enough) in this two:
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

So if someone is starting a new thread in the wrong forum, just let him know that he have just to start a new one in the good forum and just copy the message body from his older one.
Then, once it is done he can erase everything and left a single dot “.” in both subject and message body section.

The OP is not powerless about is own post and starting thread.
He can also left a message like this: “To mod: Erase this thread, please.”

All the others replies can be easily erase by each author.

I enjoy reviewing the play by forum games, its a great way to learn and see how others implement strategies and deal with bad dice rolls.  I am still somewhat unfamiliar with this site and its sometimes not easy to deduce what game and version of the rules are being used.  Could there by a seperate forum or sub-forum for each of the games which would then link to the legacy games or provide a new home for play by forum games.  I guess a better question is, is it worth the work I ask?  Thanks in advance!

@Yanny:

Read the announcement forum post :)

I should have came back and noted that I found that post…

I think the biggest transition problem has been that all the imported messages were marked as “new.” But that should go away after a few days.

Also over the next few weeks I hope tp change the look to be more like the main website. However, I’ll probably leave the feel alone. Look meaning images, colors, and graphics. Feel meaning placement, organization, and flow.

@GeZe:

maybe having the submit thingy in a frame at the bottom of the page

like a instant messanger
