Forum is out of space again

@MrRoboto said in Two features I miss from the old forum:

1.: Indicator, in which threads I have posted
In the old forum, every thread had a little icon below the title indicating that I have posted in it. I loved it for two reasons: Checking out old games of mine and also find games very easily, even when I already read the most recent post earlier without being able to download the file.

Where was the indicator?

Found it:

2.: Path at the bottom (not that important)
After posting in a thread, I am on the bottom of the screen. In the old forum, the path to the thread was at the very top AND at the very bottom, which meant I could easily click on it to return to the subforum. The new forum lack this and only have it at the top.

Some of these things are theme dependent. Right now we’re using the default theme but it is possible to either make requests to the NodeBB developers or create a child theme. I do eventually want to create a child theme. Or possibly use a theme called Onyx.

I seriously want to play 30 games of global but I do not want to crash the server lol.

I noticed that if I edit… then the dice will all reroll!

HMMM.

I was thinking maybe have moderators delete games long after they are completed.

Just delete everything inactive for more than 6 months. That is super quick. If you want to spend many hours you can save the last file of every single game and put the “title, date, and players”  and post an entire thread with just the last file and the result of who was who and who won.

If that does not clear enough space. Have mods delete games that are completed and recorded. That is it.

I win 3/4th of my games and I will never look at them again. There is no point to them.

Yes i suggest they need to contact a moderator first before the first post…just to make sure these are humans and not spamming machines, then we access their account and toggle “enable” so they can post.

In the Forum Help there are examples of the various BB codes there.  I noticed the samples for table cells shows boxes/borders around the cells, but when I try to use it it puts things in rows and columns, but not with borders (see example below).

| col1 | column 2 | #3 |
| Text 1.1 | t-1.2 | row 1 col 3 |
| a | b | c |
| x | y | z |

Is there something I can do to get the cell borders to show up on the forum-tables, or is there some sort of site configuration that does not allow this?  I was experimenting with some table-based things for the forum and I think the borders would make it much more readable.
