New Forum Software Update

@Intrepid cool i learned something new today : )

…
I can change the subject name at will, again and again.
I can modify and erase, again and again, almost all of the message body, except I cannot left it empty.

@Imperious:

That’s why in these cases the Moderator can simply move this to where it belongs. I have no idea why that hasn’t been done already. The solution is NOT to allow the OP to just delete a thread which contains others people’s posts.

Here is above, another alternative solution (while waiting a Moderator) that an Opening Poster can do on its own Opening post.

It is possible to left almost everything blank, except for 1 single character (a dot is enough) in this two:
No subject was filled in.
The message body was left empty.

So if someone is starting a new thread in the wrong forum, just let him know that he have just to start a new one in the good forum and just copy the message body from his older one.
Then, once it is done he can erase everything and left a single dot “.” in both subject and message body section.

The OP is not powerless about is own post and starting thread.
He can also left a message like this: “To mod: Erase this thread, please.”

All the others replies can be easily erase by each author.

Next year will mark the 15th Anniversary of this website so I hope to hold an Axis & Allies event in San Francisco to celebrate the occasion.

SF can be expensive to stay but so can GenCon Indy. In fact, this year, GenCon lodging might be worse than the average SF prices.

I’m going to spend time over the next year finding a venue and a date time. I’m thinking it will be in the “June-uary” time frame, which is Jan - Feb in San Francisco, when the weather is 62 - 72 degrees F during the day with little or no fog.

Stay tuned.

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.

Djensen:

I have been on other sites (namely DnD Online Games and the Star Wars Gaming Club) where a feature is installed on their SMF forums that allows you to go to your last post in a thread.

The feature is great in that it allows you to go to your last post and read all the replies from that point on cutting down on missed replies that might be saying the same thing you want to say or that you might want to rebut in your reply. (Sometimes you go to a thread and think “yea, I was on page 4 last time, so I’ll start there” but your reply was really on page 3 and one or more were posted under it that you don’t see when you go to page 4.)

Any chance of getting that installed here as well?

Jenny, the most humble one! (And Omni-Radiant, as always!!!)

@GeZe:

maybe having the submit thingy in a frame at the bottom of the page

like a instant messanger

Djensen today has made me a moderator. What I will do as a moderator, I don’t know. Hopefully, I will help our admin to keep these forums somewhat organized, a very hard job for 1 person.
