Clearly, if it is redundant spamming that makes the man. I have it.



Rich, can you link to the "Virtual Board" thread? Either I am blind (and it has been proven) or I can't seem to find it.

I think everyone would really be grateful if no one posted their post count anymore save it for another thread, guys.

I don't think that can easily be done, as the toggle is using pure javascript and in order for it to remember what you toggled it would have to be hooked to the database. The only way I can see it being done is to use AJAX or have the entire page refresh after press toggle (which won't be nice).

I'm not sure because I'm afraid to try it, but It looks like I can reply to locked threads. I'm afraid to try it, but that's what it looks like. Before, didn't there use to be text that said like:
"sorry, this thread has been locked"
Where the reply box was?

I still see the reply box, so I'm confused.

If they haven´t got enough money to hire another guy to update the help files so Lee can work on DGSDK I seriously doubt they have money to free up Rich´s time so he can make us a prettier forum.

Need path finding in your games? Have a look at the tutorials on Pathfinding.

I doubt that it's "They don't have the money" very, very much!

It's more like "It's too hard, logistically" - Especially all the training that would be required from Rich to teach the new person all about his code, and how everything works.

Then, the same goes for the help files and DGSDK - Who knows those two better than the man who wrote it all himself?

If it were trivial things (Such as Flash design, and CSS design), then they could easily find another person who can start fresh with no worries. Which is exactly what they've done

Jess.

surely for auto-toggle all it would need is to be set to the hidden state first, it'll take up db space tho :/

As i understand it the toggle feature is designed to fold peoples posts if they post some large image thus messing up the formatting right? so why isnt it placed on the left side so we dont have to scroll over to the right where the problem is in the first place?.

Hallowed are the ori.

Ok, utter wierdenss is creeping in.

I know some people have pointed out that with some threads, if they read all the posts it remains blue. I spotted it a few times over the last month, and it was no problem. Until today - now every other thread that i am reading won't show up as read? Has someone updated the Apollo code last night and mucked up?? And has anyone spotted why this random bug even happens?

That normally seems to happen when a post gets deleted. The forum seems to need to reach that origional "post high count" before its marked as read - or at least that seemed to be the case when that happened to the Challenged thread over in the DBP forum...

Also - Rich... Found a possible bug. I cant seem to make this URL into a hyperlink.. Is it due to the percent signs?
