✅ Forum Migration To Do List

A feature request for the To Do List:

On triplea-game.org forums when I reference an external website, I most of the time see a small preview image.

For example when referencing a Github issue, with
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/4186
it immediately shows a preview image of the referenced item under the URL:

Clicking inside the image brings me directly to the issue on Github, there.

On our forum I only see the written URL.

Is this a setting or a plugin worth to be included here?

Nice face lift of the forum guys!

However it seems my support badge for 2018 is lost in the big void between old and new. Could you please look into it when time allows? :relaxed:

@Tjoek You can choose which badges appear by clicking your profile image or visiting your profile and then choose “Edit” -> “Group titles”. Anyway I have already added it back for you :-)

we used to be able to see how many times our attachments were downloaded. can this be supported with this new software as well?

also, we used to be able to view who’s online and what they were doing. I always felt that was helpful. any chance we can have that feature here too?

This is possible today: Klick on “Users” then “Online”. However the Online status has to be set per user.

Thnx Panther! I should have looked there first…

@Panther true but it only says whether they’re online or not, which is of course very useful too. the old feature used to also allow us to know what they were up to, which was very handy :)

@axis-dominion Do you mean their latest activity? Klick on the user’s icon to see his profile. At the bottom of the page you see his recent postings. Or did you mean something else?

@Panther no not that, it is something different. there used to be a very small link at the bottom of the forum page, I think it was “who’s online”. and you can see everyone online and what they were up to.

@djensen TripleA pre-release with new A&A play by forum poster can be downloaded and tested: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/tag/1.9.0.0.13066

We will look to publish this on the TripleA website as the next official stable this weekend if no major issues are found during testing.

Don’t forget to change the topic id

I have created a respective topic in the Software category.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/32464/triplea-pre-release-working-with-the-forum

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:

How’s the dice roller coming?
