[26-Mar-2008] Forum upgrade

[nagerous]

[quote="AndyDufresne"][quote="Snorri1234"]I love that Forum games still contributes to your postcount but IK doesn't. That makes no sense at all.[/quote]
Fixed. :)

the update is a load of BALLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gdeangel]

I feel cheapened by the free promotion... people will always want to play up in rank whatever you call it due to the scoring formula.

And now all the threads in callouts need to be conformed.

[quote="karelpietertje"]I really dislike the new rank system, but I guess i just have to get used to it :S
and there's no way I can get an 8 player speed game started. I get the feeling that you are auto-dropped after 5 seconds of inactivity, instead of 5 minutes...
am i the only noticing this? I guess so, because everybody loves the new update..[/quote]

You're definitely not the only one. I started a BUG discussion on it in the forum. Please add your complaints so it gets noticed by the moderators. This is a problem.

BRING BACK THE OLD FORUM THIS IS BALLS



ITS CRAP

i think that the proposed staff sergeant symbol, in particular, clashes badly with everything else because the sergeant's stripes are upside-down! instead of having four different kinds of sergeant, i suggest that sergeant, sergeant 1st class, warrant officer and chief warrant officer are better names for the senior non-commissioned officers.

warrant officer can be a gold or silver crown (smaller than the one for colonel and without the red and blue inserts), while chief warrant officer can be a small gold or silver crown surrounded by a wreath of leaves.

we can't have lieutenant colonel because the proposed symbol is almost identical to the one for lieutenant.

[quote="lackattack"][quote="daydream"]1. somehow the pages are messed. i cant explain that much better, but if you click around on the [1][2][3]...[x-1][x] for a while you will notice what i mean.[/quote]

Fixed :)

[quote="daydream"]2. i added a friend to friends, and a few minutes later he told me he couldnt join because supposedly he was on my foes list. i checked and he wasnt, i took him off my friendlist again and suddenly he could join. so i think thats not doing what its meant to be doing ;)[/quote]

Fixed :) [/quote]

great! glad i could help :)

Well these is for British army,but if you notice USA dont have rank of Field Marshall,and also rank icons is not same like real Army rank symbols,and i just give examle,and creator of ranks can create some new symbol to implement in Ranking table.

The forum upgrade is much appreciated. However, is there a glitch with the speed games. I've tried to create some 1v1 speed games and as soon as I click my "My Games" link, the game disappears from my "Waiting Players" list and the game disappears completely. Any guidance would be appreciated

[luapie]

Something is going wrong with the speed games. If i join i will be out in a second??

[dogstar4god]

wow.

this is gonna take some getting used to.

[redtide]

Speed games are definitely screwed up. Every multi-player one I've joined has disappeared in minutes. And I can't create one. As soon as I click "Awaiting players" to refresh, it's gone.

It certianly does. Cant look to a profile while waiting

[Ramned]

Thanks for the update. Really looks professional! Please change the ranks back though. Don't fix what's not broken is my theory...and it was an excellent system the way it was. Whatev it's a great update NTL

[lackattack]

Speed games should be fixed now!

[Kaplowitz]

this is epic.

[quote="lackattack"]
* Ignore List is now merged with foes, so you can hide someone's nasty game chat AND forum posts by clicking "add as foe" on their profile. We've pre-loaded everyone's foes with any players on their old Ignore List. Right now foes does not allow comments but we are actively working on providing that feature (and pre-loading your old Ignore List comments too).
[/quote]

ok. two things:

1. Why can't we use BBCode any more? none of the [quote], [b], etc. brackets work...

EDIT: weird... quotes seem to work in other threads.... why not in here?

2. It says that foes list blocks both games and FORUM POSTS. What if I want to block someone from my games, but I still want to be able to talk to them on the forums?

Feedback for lackattack....IN the map foundry, the central column where the maps are displayed does not enlarge itself to anything greater than the column size within the page structure, therefore the large maps even a trifling 700px wide run under the avatar and username column, and one can't see the entire large map, the right side of the large map is sliced-off from display. :-(

You can't post/edit any post with an image bigger than 728 (?) pixels wide, either (thats what it says when I try to post there).
Which means it won't let me edit my first post in my map thread without removing every one of the images (or making them URLs instead) and no one can put up updates without A. shrinking the map below the size limit or B. posting all images as URL links....

It kinda sucks...

[AndyDufresne]

We're working on the Image problem.

[jbeaver]

what about correct links in interface?
all links are without www and it makes lots of troble with all navigation except gaming one

[RussianRoullete]

Good work lackie. I like it so far, though it will take time getting used to.

[10zornessc]

sweet changes... nice job lack
