@GM_HongName is now changed, I deleted the new account you had created as you hadn't validated the email address, but the old one seems to work just fine

Seems like a new account has been created, so we can let that suggestion play out. In the future you can tag me and I can change it (if nothing else it means that the forum user doesn't have to use another email account - as the system doesn't allow two accounts to be registered with the same email address).

No idea what might have caused it. I opened the post to edit it and just saved it (without actually doing some edit) and now it seems to work. Weird. Might have been some upgrade to the forum that changed things

Hmm, seems like Paypal handles donations differently to other payments. Not sure what Wildfire Games/SPI can do about it though as it's most likely something to do with e.g. tax laws in India or something similar.

Paypal should work in India, so hopefully it's something more specific that can be fixed. To add to Stan's question: do you have a Paypal account?

@Stan` and the others will need to make a decision for what/how to do, and if they want to include donators in the credits then I would suggest they decide one person who is to be contacted

I'll leave any decisions up to the currently active people, but I'll say as a general comment that it can't just be automatically done as we'd need the permission of people who donated to include their personal information/to ask how they would like to be credited. Should be possible to e.g. ask people who would like to be included to provide proof of having donated + tell how they would like to be credited, but would take some work.

Sorry, the image itself needs to be square (i.e. have equal height and width), but it can have transparency so can look like whatever you want it to. I'm sure it's possible to create a new theme that does that, but it would be a lot of work, and be something that potentially needs to be updated each time the forum software is upgraded.

Ok, I guess I thought it was obvious, so I wondered if you meant something else. The rocket symbol itself is a placeholder, but if you mouseover it you see that it displays what "rank" the person has, and actually how many ranks there are in total, which I don't believe were visible before. Ranks are based on the number of posts and replies a person has posted (currently at least, there is the possibility to add more things that contribute). I think before it just said the name of the rank? (I'm sure there was/could have been images as well, we did use to have images a long time ago at least, but I can't remember if we have had any for a while due to updates to the forum software.)

What does what mean? And yeah, any new changes are most likely due to the forum software being upgraded. I'm sure they can be adapted, but the more changes = the more work to make sure it works as intended when that area of the software is changed in another upgrade. If you have specific things you want to see changed and suggestions for how to change them I'm sure we can look into it. I'm not really around much, so I don't know what things have changed. I do notice the rocket symbol you mention, and I think that could probably benefit from being changed. If someone wants to create either one or more symbols to replace it, then please ask for feedback here. It needs to be square, and should work at relatively small sizes, so not be too complicated. If multiple there should be 14 different ones if we continue to have the same/same amount of ranks as we have now. It shouldn't be too big of a deal, just a fun incentive to keep posting, but I can agree that having something modern like a rocket feels a bit out of place. Maybe it could be replaced by a spearhead or something?

Please respect each other, criticise the game and its development all you want (though if you actually want to increase the chances of your opinion being considered -- doing so in a polite and constructive way is a good idea), but this forum is no place to mistreat other people.

Done

There should be a button/text that says Reveal hidden contents, click that and you will be able to see the image. If not something is going wrong

Done, and for the record, the below comment in a previous post seems to have been what set it off:

Done, thanks

I vote in favor, a working server is vital.

Done, thanks

Done, thanks for the heads-up

Should be able to upload again now, thanks for the heads up @Angen!

I'm locking this thread, seems like it's just attracting insults and rudeness. Please try and be nice to each other. It might seem innocent to you, but you never know how others react, especially in an international context like this when not everyone has got English as their first language.

I would say it's more a matter of making things easy for oneself/doing something that works in most cases than ignorance, the places where people use latin are probably fewer than where people would deem the modern meaning of those letters/sounds to be inappropriate. Sure, that's pretty mild even if used as profanity I would say, so I'll remove it from the censored words.

Done.

Done. I put it into the Art Dev forum for now, you may or may not want it somewhere else.

I'm locking this thread. It just seems to cause trouble and conflict, without rendering any benefit to anyone - rather anger and hatred. I'm sure there are aspects which can be discussed in a meaningful way, but most of this topic has not proved to be very meaningful. Let the forums be a place where we discuss the game and its development, and related topics where it might be relevant. But please try and stay away from more controversial subjects, even if they are meaningful to you, the likelihood that you will influence someone else is very slim, but the likelihood that you will make people angry and act stupid is massive.

It's not that easy, and not really about greed either. In this case I'd say it's probably fine, it's just showing that the video is of the game 0 A.D. but there can be situations where it's not as obvious. Especially if the WFG logo is used on something that is not officially sanctioned by the WFG team, if it's something bad people might then think that we are supporting that. So it's not just free for everyone to use the logos. Better to ask even if it seems obvious, than not to ask when you absolutely should have.
