Play By Forum doesn't work

@SuperbattleshipYamato well it was alot different back when we allowed Politics to flourish. Mary and Jennifer used to get into great battles, then we had Sexual Harassment Panda, Mr. Smith, et al who posted like 30 times a day. I recall about 3 others who were nasty but eventually drifted off under a rock.

Ordered. Good work. If you could do the Bismarck profile on Grey, that would be cool too

@SS-GEN said in The new forum has been a lot of work and it's not done yet:

I know it’s getting better but I posted a reply for my game report in house rules and with the changes the stuff just gets buried. Somebody post another tread reply and such now you have to go threw every topic to find it. Just sayin.

If I’m understanding correctly, there’s no difference between the old forum and the new forum for this situation. If you post a topic, and a bunch of folks post different topics, your topic will eventually end up on another page unless somebody replies. On forums, “stuff gets buried” all the time.

Also, you absolutely do not have to go through every topic to find your topic. This has come up multiple times, there are tips and tricks that cover this, I added helpers in the navigation bar. Not to be harsh but I’m just not sure what else we’re supposed to do.

Here’s a recap of your options:

Notifications: there is a bell near your avatar on the toolbar. When somebody replies, there will be a red number. Click that and you’ll get all of your notifications.

Replies to your Posts: I literally added this to the toolbar because people were complaining about finding their stuff. It’s the double-left arrow in the nav bar. It’s literally the same as clicking Notifications followed by “See all Notifications”

Recent Topics: Click the clock in the nav bar. Where it says “All Topics” select “Watched Topics” instead. You can even select a category to further narrow it down.

Recent Watched Topics: Click the eye in the nav bar. That will give you “recent” watched topics, including any topic you made or any topic you replied to. (I think I’ll change this to the next one)

All of Your Watched Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Watched.

Your Topics: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Topics.

Bookmarks: If a particular topic is super important, then click the three dots on a topic, the one next to Reply, Quite, <heart>, < 3 dots> and click Bookmark. To find your bookmarks: Go to your profile. Click the 3 dots. Click Bookmarks.

That 6 ways to find your stuff. The old forums had a stupid icon that was hard to see and made no sense, I think it was a face or something. The replies to your posts was nice but we have that and more.

Note: there’s a bug with your watched topics if you have infinite scrolling turned on. I’ll file it later.

Perhaps our forum “management” are in training for setting that very forum next Marc! :roll:

The issue is resolved now. djensen has informed me, that he freed up some space.
I have already tested it, and new savegames will be uploaded to the forum correctly as well as downloaded to the user’s harddrive.

Enjoy gaming :-)

Thanks for the imput. I have only played ftf and when I was younger we had 7-8 people who would play AAclassic or Conquest of the Empire anytime  (usually in our off season from stratomatic baseball) so there was no need to even consider this. Besides, the ballbreaking and on hijinks that went on during the games was sometimes better than the game itself. (anybody who was Numidia and 2 catapults down knows this)

Most other Message boards I belong to have an option to “Ignore” certain users, meaning you will see that that person has posted, but the text of his/her message is removed and replaced with something like “You have chosen to ignore <user>.  Click hereto see the text of the message”.

I’ve looked around and can not find such a function.  Is there one that I just haven’t seen, or is it not currently available?  It would be very handy if we had something like this to ignore serial offenders of off-topic discussion.  Who knows, maybe y’all want to ignore me too.  8-)</user>

I always come in thruogh the main page, and I also have the RSS feed from the main page linked on my Yahell 360 and My Yahell sites, so I always know when changes are made ‘up front’ :-)
