This bit in the rules seems a bit redundant:
QUOTE
• Avoid posting spoilers. If you can't avoid spoilers, please be considerate enough to put a warning sign or spoiler alert on your post so that others may have the choice if they want to go on reading or not.

We have spoiler tags, why not just say to use them?

Sometimes, people click on the spoiler button anyways and don't think about it. That rule is generally for Anime/Manga discussion where some people might not have the chance to watch/read the series yet. The general rule is to avoid spoilers if possible. But if one must post a spoiler, they should use the spoiler tag of course. But on top of that, say something like "this may spoil it if you have not read chapter xx" or something along the line.

I've yet to see people abuse that rule.

I am with Don on this, what's the purpose of auto logout after 24 hours? All you have to do is uncheck the Remember Me option when you log in. It'll log you out after you are inactive for 60 minutes. Then you have to log in again. Wouldn't that solve your dilemma?

I am now enlightened, all my concerns have been washed away, THX P & N1.

Would it be too difficult to make sigs an option on mobile version?

The goal of the mobile version is to make load times as short as possible. As most signatures here are made of images, that would go against the intended "feature" of the skin.

The straight answer to your question is "no, it wouldn't be difficult", but it will not be implemented because it would increase load times.

When I went to change the time zone for my profile (to Aust. Central Standard), I keep getting an error message claiming I'm trying to hack the system.

Can someone help me with this?

I'm going to have to pass this one to Perry. I'm currently still on my Kindle waiting for my computer to arrive via the movers. My abilities are rather limited until then. sad.gif

Hm. I can change my time settings no problem. I shall tell Perry about this as soon as I see him though. *scribbles something down on a piece of paper* I will get back to you as soon as he gives me an answer. Don't worry Tessou sir! You now have +1 person to bother Perry! laugh2.gif

It is fixed. Apparently, the half timezones where the offset is 30 minutes were never fixed in the forum software we used. Thank you for the feedback, it has now been fixed. smile.gif

It amazes me how after 10 years with this software, people can still find a tiny minor bug that could be solved. And you're just the guy to solve them. cool.gif

So what's the point of our WMMT subforum if we have a whole sister forum for it?

People still post in there, so it's not entirely a waste. Some folks want to talk about the game without having to set up another account. Until some sort of universal account system arises, that's just the way it goes.

On that note, don't expect something like that to happen for a long time.

The last thread made there was May 9 2012, but ignoring that, the section hasn't even seen one post since Aug 30 2011, 04:04 AM. You call that active? unamused.gif

Okay, now that I'm back in full force with my computer up and running, things will be getting back on track.

I will look at the WMMT section and determine what to do about it. Outright deleting it is out of the question, because policy here is to never delete any posts or threads unless they're truly junk material. Eliminating an entire section is kind of a big deal.

Update. After review, I have switched off the WMMT subsection. That is, I made it invisible and read-only.

Members seeking discussion of all things Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune should head on over to our sister site, Wangan Midnight Expressway.

Just wondering, what are all the different tags what we can use on the forums? I mean I already know that we have the standard ones that are shown on posting toolbar, but isn't there a code for super/sub scripts?

The forum uses bbcode (bulletin board code), which is a simple yet versatile markup language specifically tailored for message boards/forums.

The "quick list" of tags on the post form is quite small and features the most popular tags used for posting here, but there are a lot more that can be used.

Here is a sampling of what you can do with it.

WME runs the same code right? I tried using the edit tag, but to no avail.

Keep in mind that BBCode is an evolving, non-standard scripting language. It isn't like HTML where all the functions are pre-defined. You can in fact create new functions in BBCode that will only work on your custom forum software. For instance, while we use the {youtube} code, I have seen forums that instead use {flash} for the same function (though it works on many more services).

The basic formatting functions (bold, italics, font, color, quotes, etc) are guaranteed to work on any forum that uses BBCode. The exception is strikeout which may or may not exist (I've seen some older software that didn't support {s}). Once you get into more advanced code, though, all bets are off. I've never seen the {edit} tag before, personally. This is why a list of BBCode that works with your forum isn't something that you can get off of a random reference page, only the person who manages your forum can provide the full list of useable functions. smile.gif

Ahh I see, never really delved into the internal workings of forum software so this was a good lesson. Also, would there be any possibility of creating a "Post-Merge" button, which just adds your new post onto your existing, like the edit button, but still bumps the thread without the double/triple post?

Maybe making the button insert the post merged tag.

Bumping threads is silly on a forum like this one. I'm not staff and I'm certainly not the database administrator but personally I feel that such a function would be a waste of code for a feature that is more annoying than anything else. The potential for abuse is too great.

Then limits could be placed. But hey, it's just a suggestion.
