Hi everyone! I am writing this as a response to some inquiries and changes that is going to be implemented sometime this year.


Added / Going to be Added:

  1. More Progressions - Meaning there'll be more than 3 stars even if you have an epic amount of post count.
  2. Ralph Emoticons - I have been getting this request for a while now and they have increased by the time V4 rolled out. I got the go signal by @Touchfuzzy so I'll be uploading a new set soon!
  3. ReStaff New Badges - They now have cake!



Unavailable for the Meantime:

  1. Awards/Badges - This is a feature that has to be sadly removed due to incompatibilities with V4. But hopefully it'll be available once the developer is done.



If anyone else have suggestions, feel free to drop it in this thread. For any issues that may arise, please refer to @Nathanial's thread over here:

Suggestion: on mobile view (once it is re-enabled) simply move the sidebar to the bottom of the forum, below everything else.

I might have just not found it yet, but is the "My Content" feature removed in this updated software? It was the page with a list of threads you posted in. I found it really useful for quickly checking for thread activity and possible replies without having to follow them and receive notifications.


Just curious :)


EDIT: Well, looks like I jumped the gun by an entire 30 seconds. Looks like the Unread Content has that as a filter as well as a bunch of other handy tools.

Some features that I would find useful would be

  • The ability to indent text again, like we were able to previously.
  • Have the ability to modify (or at least collapse) the category sections on the right (Recent Topics, Featured Topics, etc.)

    Tying into the above. Control how many Status feeds we want displayed.

[*]Choose from a few different themes to use for the forum (color schemes mostly). Or at least choose between a Light and Dark option.


Thanks for all the support and consideration!

I love the automatic updated activity page. It feels like I'm using Tweetdeck, but with RPG Maker peeps all day long! The only issue I have with it, is that I have to keep clicking to load the new activity. I understand this probably isn't fixable, as updating and loading automatically might not be possible, just wanted to point it out =3

It also may be so incredibly trivial =P  Just a small thing!

More Ralph emoticons!?! YAY!!! The ones there are already super cool, more is amazing!  :rhappy:


I really wish I could make a custom one for me to use though, it would be awesome to make a custom one! Like a sprite to icon maker or simply just an option to upload one custom one for personal use?

Is there any chance that we get a darker style? 


The previous one was bright enough, but this one... I don't know, this one seems to blind me with it's brightness.


So, darker styles? Pretty please? *-*

Can we get the Pinned icon moved back to the left side of the forums?  Would be easier to see when looking at topic names.

If it's not already happening, I'd love to have BBCode back as the source option and the code option, preferably both with Ruby and JavaScript context highlighting.  I struggle with adding code to posts on this version of the forum (maybe I'm just not using it properly).


Also, is it possible to get back the list of names of people who like your posts (and now comments, yay!)?  At the moment, it just shows a number.  I like knowing who my fans are ;)

This was said in the other topic, Shaz, but apparently because of the way this new forum software works the BBCode isn't an option anymore and the people who could add it in aren't interested in doing it.

I liked your post because I agree. I want to stalk my stalkers.

I suggest getting rid of signatures.

Source button isn't happening, as the editor is "true" WYSIWYG and the developers felt it was no longer necessary. BBcode still works just fine in this editor. You just can't use the "source" view. I don't know why people keep spreading that BBcode itself is impossible. That's not true. :p

As for viewing who... for some reason your member group (and a couple other random ones) didn't have that enabled... Fixed that. 

Code:
Test

thank you :)   All good now!


The problem with BB Code (at least when I was using it yesterday) is that if I had several lines of code between the tags, it'd format it weird, like this:

Code:
Test 1



	Test 2


	Test 3


	Test 4





Then I'd have to go in to edit it, and it'd change it to look like this, and I'd have to cut & paste everything again:

Code:
Test 1
Test 2


Test 3


Test 4

So yea, that is still happening.  I'm double posting because editing that post would reformat them again.


That is just what I get from entering this (without the space)


[ code]Test1


Test2


Test3


Test4[ /code]

You can turn them off. In your settings, under signature, there is a toggle button that says "Show other people's signatures alongside their content "


I just tried it, it works.

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
