Lorian Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Can we have the ability to click on the little pic next to sub-forum names and have it mark it as read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Can we have the ability to click on the little pic next to sub-forum names and have it mark it as read?←It used to do that, but for some reason it hasn't worked since the forum upgrade...

CodeOptimist Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 One small feature/fix I've been wanting to mention for a while was fixing the tab order on certain forms. I use the keyboard as much as possible, so I like to type a message, press Tab to move the focus to the "Post" or "Add Reply" button, and hit Space to click the button. (Much faster than clicking with the mouse )This works on almost all forms. The reputation form is one where it doesn't work:I've also noticed that if one opens the Quick Reply box on a page, then tries to use the Fast Reply box to type out a reply, pressing Tab moves the focus to the button on the Quick Reply box (instead of the Fast Reply box).EDIT: Odd... BBCode seems to be temporarily disabled. Mark that for another suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGE Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 Can the rep appear when you change the skin of the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted August 5, 2005 Report Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) When using quick edit, hitting tab takes you to the Show Smilies Pop Up Window link, it is relly annoying Edited August 5, 2005 by Lorian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted August 6, 2005 Report Share Posted August 6, 2005 When using quick edit, hitting tab takes you to the Show Smilies Pop Up Window link, it is relly annoying←Yep Almost every time I use the Quick Edit box, I end up scrolling the page (because pressing Space when focused on a link scrolls the page down, at least in FF).

DarkAngelBGE Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 All noted down. Not sure about the chat room... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I don't think we should have a chat room, they rarely work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I've seen those chatboxes and shoutboxes on fora, and the only thing that can be found there is spam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeOptimist Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 I've seen those chatboxes and shoutboxes on fora, and the only thing that can be found there is spam...←Yeah, plus they are usually impelemented in Java, and are clunky or make the page take forever to load.

Dnas Posted August 12, 2005 Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hmm... is there any reason the tags on this page aren't working? Anyway, maybe reimplement that change from the old forum system so that the title would showTopic Title -> WFG Forums, so that it's nicer on tabs and the taskbar.

Mythos_Ruler Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Up where it says My Controls * View New Posts * My Assistant etc. - perhaps a link/feature View Last 24 Hours that shows all posts made within the past 24 hours.

Caesar Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 (edited) How about a history forum? It could be combined with the Hall of Intellectuals. Edited October 15, 2005 by Caesar89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 How do you imagine this 'combine' to work, John? Make it a subforum of HOI or standalone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I think he meant sub forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelBGE Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Well I think with almost 1000 members and this activity we could try to make it a separate forum yes? It appears to me that there aren't too many forums yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caesar Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I would like to propose that the list of fonts we are able to post with in the WFG forums be increased with fonts relating to 0ad and TLA. For example, some fonts pertaining to the various civilizations in 0ad be included (Greek, Old Persian, Celtic/Germanic Runes, an informal Latin script or two, ect.), and for TLA there could be a few Tengwar fonts, and some Angerthas and Cirith fonts.

Of course, we would have an alternative "fall back" font if a particular font is missing, but at least not all forumers will have the same community experience anymore.Personally I would like to keep it that way. If an Arda font is needed, and that is not too often the case, images would do the job awesomely, non? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
