Forum remodelling
So, as you've noticed, I finally got around to modding this forum. Here are the new features:
Anyway, those are the mods. You'll notice one other change if you look closely at your profile: I've made a clone of subSilver called subFiver, now selected by default. This is where I'm going to rebuild the 5M.net skin. It may not be soon (I'm thinking of getting someone with actual experience to help), but it's coming. |
Awesome! You actually did something meaningful in less than 6 months! It's a miracle!
|
Expression of the glory of Zeke, the Mighty, for completing this task. Every other word end in eth.
|
Awesome. Awesome-awesome. Awwwwsome.
ETD: joke with political content :? |

Although I gotta say, that "save as draft" thing is really weird. I can't tell if I've actually posted or not. What's the purpose of it? |
I dunno. However, I agree that with the current administration, I have to wonder too.
|
All right, can this NOT turn into politics for no reason? Remember how I lost friends when I dared to attempt a civil political discussion thread in my own forum? Is idiotic sniping going to turn out better, or is it allowed on only one side, or what?
Anyway. I found a simple fix for the flag thing: I've simply removed the country-name text and left the flag. I think it looks better that way anyhow. As for saving drafts, it's just there for those who want it. Those who don't will get used to the extra button. |

hee I could just stay here and look at all the new stuff all day :wink:

Okay, why is Puerto Rico a country?

Um, sorry, I didn't know that asking "what does this button do?" was politics. I have never seen the "save as draft" function before on any board. I was wondering what need the makers of phpBB thought the mod would serve. |
This is all cool, but...
You should fill it with cream. |

Yes, it was Scooter and e of pi I was talking to. And Scooter, I appreciate the edit, but it wasn't necessary -- I was just cutting off any further politics, not telling you to remove what was there. That usually just leads to confusion, as we just saw.

Apologies. N00b error alert. :oops: Anyway:

Whoa! I forgot to list one of the coolest mods! It's on the list now (second last item).
I've successfully added custom titles to the memberlist and even made them sortable. Unfortunately, the last post column, which I really wanted sortable, is coded in a way that makes it much harder -- I would basically have to rework that whole mod. I may in fact do so, but not till I get some other things done. (For those interested in the details, most columns in the memberlist are simply called up from the user database, and can be sorted before listing anyone. The last post column, however, is implemented by searching the post database to see when the given user last posted. Thus it can't be sorted in advance. To make that possible, I'll need to add a field to the user database storing the user's last post time, and get it to update each time someone posts. It won't be terrifically difficult -- more like challenging -- but it probably won't be quick either.) |
N00b question about why Zeke was the 108th to join.
|
Simple: When we first moved from iB to phpBB, Owen did an admirable job of importing the member data so nobody was left behind. Making me an admin again, however, required him to delete the old me and have me register again. I think that's how it went, anyway.
I've made one more addition to the memberlist: country flags now appear on it. They're even sortable. Unfortunately, "no country" is stored as NULL, which for some reason falls alphabetically under N rather than outside the normal alphabet. Thus there's a very large gap in the middle of the country sorting. I'll fix that when I know more about how this particular NULL is implemented. |
WOOT SUBJECT LINE!
Great job, Zeke! Thanks for all the work you put into this forum. It's such a great place to waste time. Which is good! :D
5M.net: creating a wonderful place to totally waste some time since...a long time :D ETA: Wow. I according to the statistics, I play in the games a lot... :roll: ETAA: And it goes without saying: thanks for all the great Fivers and other funny stuff that you've managed to write and gather over all this time! |

Just give RTD a call. He'll be able to write your way out of it for sure. :D

Go to Kamino. Or Argolis. It's a lot cheaper. In other news, nice stuff, Zeke! :D |
Wheee! Membertitles and other new stuff. :D Hurray for Zeke!
|
So much stuff! Woo!

I think we can all agree not to discuss real politics on the forum,and I am unanimous on that! :D Instead, we can discuss the it-just-won't-die eTrektion theme. :twisted: And besides, most of us have LJ's where we can post our political rants and raves :twisted: (note to those on LJ...I will now be sometimes using the LJ cut feature on my political rants, so if you're not into politics you don't have to even look at 'em) |
I think the pretzels should stage a mass uprising against Bush Jr. Sure, there was that one suicide attacker, but evidently the Secret Service were prepared for the eventuality that a lone pretzel might attempt something like that. But if they were to attack en masse, then Bush would go down for sure, and I for one will welcome our new pretzel overlords!
(We're allowed to talk about pretzels, right?) |
HAIL ANTS
erm hail pretzel overlord |
Pretzels aren't too bad. It's just that one or two percent are bad, and destroy the reputation of the entire group.
|
Yeah, well, I'm sure if the average Fed, Tom and Horatio had their way, they'd be booted out of the country. They're just trying to be pretzels, man! Why can't people see that?
|
Exactly!
|
New forum banner. It'll fit better when we have a black background again.
|
Also, if it had a different ship. :P
|
Well, it's just that I've been feeling like Enterprise is underexposed here lately. It's a huge part of the site.
And will be on topic again soon, IF YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN. And I think you do. Know what I mean, that is. |
I really should go and catch up with the rest of Enterprise at some point. And Lost. And The 4400. And...
(The list goes on for a bit, as you might expect.) |
