SC4 Devotion Requests

[JoeST]

do what JeroniJ said then. subscribe to topics/threads you want to be notified of, and then they appear in your usercp when there are new posts

you cant hide things from search and posts since last visit

Joe

I don't want to do it "since last visit".. I want to do it PERMANENTLY until I reset the "ignor" switch for some reason.

I've already indicated that the "subscribe" doesn't really do what I want.

If it can't be done, it can't be done.. just say so hehe..
but it doesn't alter the desire to have it..

[JoeST]

nope u cant do it... well not to my knowledge

now, when clicking on a nick you have the option to view his posts instead of the threads/topics he/she posted in, I like to see that reversed,
Obviously it would be nice if there's some sort of indicator that shows if there are new reactions in that thread since your last vissit.
It is more relevant to see what topics a person has replied to then to view posts/reactions a user made.
So I instandly wanna know if there was a reaction after mine just so I won't forget to answer.
Besides that, this is a wonderfull comunity and I am proud to be a part of it.

All yor wishes are being noted, but I dont know if they will be doable, and if yes, when  .

Brw, this forums software (SMF) is open source, free, and I will say that it works perfecty since one year. I think it is a really great software indeed   

[JoeST]

the forum software is brilliant...I have even developed packages for it

it would be possible to do what you request but it would mean getting intimate with the code that, by the state of the homepage (which is brilliant btw), isnt currently high on your agenda LOL

Hey, just checking out some new mods for the forum software, I thought you might like to take a look at a few that I found:

nCode Image Resizer

Alias Boards

Image Quote Removal (another)

Move Old Topics (that thing you asked me to do.. kinda)

Profile Comments Duno, maybe a nice idea

A keyword search function,  I know there is more on the file exchange than what the limited search options are bringing up
A more user friendly picture post function,  I just wnt through hell trying to post a picture in the show us your downtown/CBD thread and I still didn't manage to post

[JoeST]

Hey Wrightguy0, the LEX search is like it is for a reason, more advanced search functions cause strain on the server which it cant handle...

the picture thing is easy... as long as you know how to upload a picture to photobucket/imageshack/etc... then all you need is the direct link for the uploaded picture and insert it inbetween [img] and [/img]

for example [img]http://www.sc4devotion.com/ppal_log02.jpg[/img] brings up this image:



There is a number of topics that explain this around and about (take the link to Tutorials in my signature, there will be one there)...

If you need help uploading a picture to the internet, that is explained in another tutorial somewhere (I will find it if you ask)

The BSC Lex won't be changing much any time soon, the search function has been much requested and I'm sure will be one of the next additions, but the guys who coded the LEX are all AWOL with RLS problems at the moment. The picture posting function is about as friendly as it's going to get too, it just isn't feasible for your pictures to be hosted on the site because they would gobble up the bandwidth in record time, and that is about the only way I can see the function being any easier. If you're struggling with it, take a a look here for a tutorial.

Sorry if we already have this, but is there a place where we can post tutorials (like the ST omnimbus)? If not can we have one please I need to post my tutorial for roundabout interchange!

Is it possible to attach files to PMs? Atm, I don't think it is. But there are a lot of times, when I could've used that feature with a PM.

Also when someone edits a post that hasn't been posted in since, the blue "new" button still appears, would it be possible to have a blue "edit" button?

Other than that, everything is pretty much spot on.

[sim4]

can someone PLEASE tell me how to put an image

[JoeST]

Hey sim4... this is how u do it:

upload your picture to imageshack/photobucket and then take the direct link and insert it between [img] and [/img]

so for example the LEX link at the top of the page will look like this [img]http://www.sc4devotion.com/BSCLEX.jpg[/img]

[Haljackey]

Hello, I have a question about posting youtube videos.

Is it possible to embed a youtube video "box" on this site?  I have managed to figure out how to do it over at ST, but the format here is different,

Thanks in advance,

One thing I noticed sinced I started downloading content other than transit stuff, is how many dependancies there are you have to go running around to look for (I know about the dependancy help page on the LEX, which is a terrific help btw, but even that has a downside that sometimes in a lot description the name of the dependacie is slightly different to the name on the list so Ctrl+f won't find it, and when you look manually they sometimes similar named ones)
(I have never uploaded or anything on the LEX so I have no idea how it's done) On each lot description there's a dependancy box, where you type the URL of the dependancy then it goes and finds the name of dependancy and uses that in the lot description (to avoid different names in different places, or if that's not possible just the name and the URL) So when a user goes to download the lot that needs dependancy pack A B and C (example) A web-version-cleanitol-type-of-thing scans your computer if you have the dependancies already, if you have pack A but not B and C, a box appears asking if you want to download them and provides a link to the description of the dependancy.

Just an [long] idea, but I redownloaded my plugins folder because I got mixed up with dependancies.

Always a fun and informative site to visit, and though I don't get to post often, I actually do visit every day along with ST.

However, since the recent upgrade, I have notice a minor change that keeps me stumped...there doesn't seem to be a direct link anywhere on the forum pages back the main Devotion page or to the LEX.  Perhaps I'm too inept to find them now, when previously, these had colorful image links at the top of the page.

I know, I could always return to typing in the full address, or drag open the browser favorites links, but there was an efficient convenience in being able to simply click from the top, or to right-click-into-new-window when a refence on the boards was made and I wanted to peek into the LEX without losing my reading place.

Maybe...hopefully...possibly the fast links will come back, as the new theme settles in.


And as always, thanks for all the excellent work here.
