✅ Forum Migration To Do List

[djensen]

@redrum That’s great news!

Don’t forget to change the topic id

[Panther]

I have created a respective topic in the Software category.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

I have a few questions concerning the forum:
League games.
Is there a way to highlight our names for a faster search?
I know we have the alert and it is very useful, but if you have a few games going and have to perform different task like, on one you will ask for a scramble Option, the next game you might answer to a scramble option, the very next game you try to download the file is keeping you very busy with searching.
The old forum format had a face icon to let you quickly determin if it was a topic you often replied to.

Also if we can have some sort of auto search typing when we create a new topic for the League (League only).?
What i mean is this:

L18 aequitas et veritas vs Opponent X Game 1

This could be combined with a counter (game 1,2,3 etc…)and a calendar (L18, L19, or L2018)

While this could be fitted with an automated typing wich er had on the old format when we filled in the box: search members
When we wrote a PM.

Is this possible?

It would ease a lot.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts about this.

Oh almost forgot.
I like the little animes P@nther an you did to show how to do things or find things.:+1:

[djensen]

@aequitas-et-veritas There’s a new button on top. It looks like a reply-all button. It shows all of your alerts. Then you can filter by type, mine is set to “Replies”.

You can also view all of your watched topics:
Click you Avatar on the Toolbar > Click you User Name > Click the blue button > Watched

How’s the dice roller coming?

[djensen]

@simon33 I might use a bot instead since it’s already done.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

@djensen thank you for reminding me again.😀

Not sure I understand. That’s already possible? How?

[djensen]

You would do something like

@bot roll 5d6

And a bot would respond with the result. The dice roller I made does basically the same thing except the bot is more flexible.

[djensen]

Since my work here is not limited to this To Do list and so you have an idea what and when change have been made. I started a monthly log:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32532/forum-update-log-nov-2018

The thread is locked to make it easy to read. @Panther please feel free to add items you’ve done as you see fit.

The log will also help me know when to stop or take a break.

Sorry I’m still confused. Exactly what do I type to use this bot?

[djensen]

@simon33 It’s not ready yet. But the syntax will similar to what we had before.

Two questions.

1. Is there a way to change the font in chat. I just tried to send a message to someone and had to change the skin in order for the font colour to stand out. I would rather change the skin.
2. And is the list of active users in a thread telling you who is currently (or very recently) online?

And also a huge thank you to Djensen and anyone else doing the work. The new site looks great and I really appreciate all the effort that has gone into keeping this going and improving the experience.

[djensen]

@farmboy

1. Sounds like a bug. What skin were you using when you couldn’t see the chat.

2. Click the Users icon in the Navbar. The online option shows you who is online. The grey dot on everybody’s profile will go to green or red after we upgrade this weekend. Green is online, red is offline. There’s no let of recently online, that would be nice. I’ll look for a plug-in.

[farmboy]

@djensen The skin I was using was slate. Messages that have been posted already appeared in a white font on the dark grey background but when I was trying to write the message it was a dark colour(maybe black but it looked like a very dark blue) on the dark grey background. Could barely make it out.

[JDOW]

He Gents,

one questions: In the old forums I could set a screen name which was different than my account name. Is this still possible? With the new forums my screen name is my account name again. Can I set this again or is this function gone?

@JapanDOWRound1Fan
Yes it is possible to change your Username and your “Full Name”.
I have described it in detail in the Tips&Tricks-thread:
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32443/tips-and-tricks-nodebb/8

[djensen]

@JapanDOWRound1Fan The caveat here is that (for now) only the username is used on posts and for @ mentions.
