The How To Use The Forum Thread

With the new forum comes new functionality comes new BBCodes.

MEDIA

Images will remain the same, a simple [img][/img] tag is all that's needed. However, we're looking into adding support for HTML5 Gifs such as .gifv, gyfcat and such therefore this tag is subject to change.

Video has changed. With support for more sites than youtube, the tag is now [ video ]. This supports most websites including Facebook (for a list of supported websites click the insert video button in the advanced reply section). Simply paste the whole URL within the video tags.

Example:

PHP Code:

---

[ video]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P43msx0y3rA[/video] 


---

will produce

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P43msx0y3rA

SOCIAL FUNCTIONS

With the new board we've added some extra functionality.

Some of you may be noticing a bar down in your bottom left that looks like this;


http://i.imgur.com/rAvvqJI.png

(If you don't have this bar, you can adjust this in your Settings > Notifications.)




There are 3 functions that have been added

1) User Tagging

Tagging a user works similar to any social media site like Facebook or Twitter. Simply type @InsertUsernameHere in your post which will notify the user of your comment and link it through their activity feed.

2) Quote Notifications

Ever want to take a quick peek back to see whether the conversation you were having earlier has extended? Speed up the process by being notified that you've been quoted. If you don't wish to be notified, simply go to your Settings > Notifications and disable them.

FEATURES INCOMING

-PM Formatting to make long quote sessions more readable - DONE
-Points System to interact with Reputation - DONE
-Multiple Account Prevention + Anti Spam - DONE
-Advanced Quick Reply
-Awards System Done
-Automated Post/Thread of the Month Nominations

BUG REPORTING

I know it's decorum on this forum to piss and moan if something's broken but this place is new so if you could just inform me of any bugs you find via PM, that would be appreciated. TY.

REQUESTS

- What would you guys like to see? Make suggestions and I'll see what can happen.

Maybe it's my screen or this shocking skin, but....

I would like it if it was clearer when there has been new posts in a thread.

It is bolded but also there's a green arrow to the left of any threads with new posts in them.

Yeah, when I first started using the forum it looked a bit too faint to me.

The more I use it the more I get used to it, it's fine.

How do you view rep?

Via your profile i Think

What's the vBavtivity stats/bars all about?

Is there a way to have a dark theme, I don't like the white background and light blue theme.

I'm clearly being a dickhead, but how do I change the date format to 22/09/15 on posts, instead of the American 09/22/15 way of doing it?

I can't see it at all in my settings. :face:

It tells me I have a rep comment but I can't see it when I click on the notification. Which ridiculously obviously-labelled place do I find it in?

I think for the moment that's a bug we all have.

Thanks to my googling and SvN's actual talent we can now link high quality gifs!

[gyfcat]TallNeedyBuckeyebutterfly[/gyfcat]

At the moment there are a couple of services that do this. One would be GYFCAT (you'll recognise them by their weird URLs made up of random words)

To embed a gyfcat link here simply take the random word generated like www.gyfcat.com/HilariousCoarseDrongo and but [gyfcat] tags around it to get:

[gyfcat]HilariousCoarseDrongo[/gyfcat]

Then there's ImgUr's gifv service. To do this take the random assortment of numbers and letters like http://i.imgur.com/inc7SbI.gifv (or webm) and put [gifv] tags around it to get:

[gifv]inc7SbI[/gifv]

----
Those viewing on mobile simply need to tap the gif for it to load to help save on your data plan.

Thanks to SvN. Enjoy.

The page loading times. :drool:

Goddamn. :drool:

First two showing as black boxes on my phone btw.

What do you use as a browser?

I don't know, the stock one.

:facepalm:

Fucking hell. No wonder IT people are driven to suicide. What phone do you have?

An LG, no idea about the model.

They work great on my laptop, don't really care whether they work on the phone or not (I just use it while on the toilet.)

Most phones don't allow videos to play automatically. You might just have to tap the box to play it.

Yes, that works. :thbup:

Cool, edited it in.

Scroll to the bottom. There's a drop-down menu on the left just above where it says 'All times GMT+1'. Pick 'metro mobile blue' there.

I need to watch that film again.

Is it me or whenever I login to this site on my mobile, it accepts my password, but does not shows me as logged in and then I get prompted to login again......

I really like the Metro Mobile Blue skin, but is there a way to see notifications or messages etc using it on mobile?

Yeah that. It leaves a lot out, the message formatting options aren't there either, even if you 'go advanced'.

Yep lack of messaging format is a cunt.

You do get PM notifications on mobile but not quotes etc.

I'll look into the other week.

Any joy?

I would love to be spending my time updating this place (I haven't been able to quote people for over a month due to a bug on Chrome) and making this place feel active but frankly my job has to come first and spending your time doing a version of your job at home sucks.

I'm looking at getting a week or two off next January to work on TTH.

Soon.

He means 2021.

Let's draft Mokbull in.

Does anyone else seem to get logged out really often? On the old board I only logged out when I chose to now it seems I need to sign in again if inactive for an hour?

Any chance of a 'mark forum read' on mobile?

??

No?

Your call is very important to us.

Move the gamezine out as a forum alongside the main one instead of it being a subforum of the main one. The main forum keeps showing the symbol for new posts but when you check it's only gamezine posts.

No.

Didn't expect so as its most likely vital where it is. Or probably because of who asked.

:D

Take your 'who not what' bullshit complex elsewhere. What you're asking for is that the forum is made slightly more difficult to navigate for all users of the Gamezine section just so you don't occasionally think there might be new posts in threads you're interested in when there aren't.

Difficult to navigate? I said put it alongside TTH rather than in TTH. It's not like they'll need fucking training.

Can we also integrate the welcome section into TTH, I keep forgetting to check it.

Would make my life easier.

Thanks.

Not 'difficult to navigate', I said 'slightly more difficult' as in it would take a bit more effort. You're asking that the board be made slightly less convenient for a significant number of posters so that it becomes slightly more convenient for you. It's a no, and it'd be a no for anyone else who asked too.

Lolled,

Informing me about misspelled words does not work on my iphone. (underlining in red zig-zag). Is this a forum issue as it works OK when im typing anywhere else via my browser.

It's because you have an add-on on your browser.

I have an add-on in safari that is causing the issue or I need a new add-on in order to spell check?

Scroll down. Bottom left where you choose your skin. Choose mobile.

Legend.

Have dates always been mm-dd-yyyy, or have I only just noticed it?

I set the DD/MM/YY first time round, maybe it got reset when I broke everything. I'll change it now.

edit: fixed.

Also make it so we can rep people more frequently. Seems like you have to rep more members than we have before you can rep the same person again. Was fine before the refresh.

I know only me and Lewis use it but still.

I think I've done that.

Not having a go at anyone, I've literally never asked for it. Maybe it's worth having a think about up to date support of stuff now we have access to it and we're looking at another round of investment?

I can see them all fine on mobile.

Half of them don't work for me on Safari (Mac) either. Those ones specifically.

Yeah, half don't work on my laptop.

I'm seeing all 31 in my phone. Maybe one of the linked sites is blocked by an ISP over there?

Working on both for me.

Funny

I think the site you were linking them from is down. There's nothing wrong with the system.

I cant see them on my work Desktop but on my home desktop when i posted, they were definitely there. Maybe they have gone now completed.

Maybe the images cached on your desktop (and my phone) but now they're gone. You'd still be able to see them then but not on any new device.

That said, I've just checked on my work PC and I can see them all too.

How short is the inactive logout timeout if you don't sign in with 'remember me' checked? It seems for about five minutes. Even when you are active actually, and dont check the 'remember me' option. It log's you out with the quickness.

It's 15 minutes of inactivity. I've changed it to 6 hours.

Good lad. Where is the donation link?

These database errors are getting more frequent than a page actually loading now.

Same.

It's dramatically worse today for me than it has been before.

It does it to me every time something happens in a match, so it must be activity related.

It's a memory issue. I'm going to make some upgrades, although it will increase the cost slightly.

Does the board have a functional RSS feed?

(To use with the Speaky app)

Is there a way to view all your rep? A handsome gentleman I'm glad I voted for in the tournament left me one today after another of my amazing posts and I realised it's knocked one off the bottom after we were talking about it yesterday in whichever thread.

The reputation tab only shows the last 10?

No idea why the reputation is limited to 10 on your profile. I've increased it in the control panel, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

Ooh, now I see mine and the ones I've dished out.

It's allowed me to chuckle at posts I've entirely forgotten all over again, like this:

Okay so it seems if you go via the Profile button then to the Rep it still shows only last 10 received but if you go to Settings it'll show you everything.

EDIT: Or more of them, and some of both received and given. It still doesn't look like that'll be all of them.

Ah well done Ian. I've upped it to 9999 so you can see everything now.

Vote Webly for more reputation viewing improvements.

Say what?

Weird, no idea (as no forum software has been updated). It's either a server side thing which @SvN can confirm or one of the plug-ins we use has started phishing in which case we'd need to flush them all because all the one's currently installed are pirated so it could be any.

Smiffy filling in his spreadsheet.

None of the plugins are pirated. Everything installed is legit.

I'm not sure why that came up Giggles, I'll see if I find out.

Cheers, no real big deal anyway. Most sites ask, was just the first time I seen it here but I haven't seen it since.

Were the RSS things always there?

Yeah I turned them on when someone requested them recently

I always feel I should know too but I have never understood it even after looking it up.

I just looked it up and, if I've understood it, it's basically a tool that notifies you when there's been a new post/entry on a website. Seems pretty pointless.

Not if you want to keep track of posts across many sites without going to the bother of checking them all individually.

It’s a holdover from when the web was all text and instead of having to ‘surf the web’ you practically turned it into an email service.

I use RSS to auto download torrents I want.

embded instagram videos?

There's a free code for it. Just need to login, I'm happy to do it if @SvN can PM me the deets. Or he can, no bother.

As someone who has had to embed google maps on websites, I'm not doing the work to do it. Just take a picture.

Wake up, sheeple!

Its not possible to embed shit in a post that is assocated with Wordpress?

What?

Im trying to embed an image in a post. You can embed it on a website somehow as it has the shareable links. Ive been trying for a while to embed it in a post, but it does not display.

You're using the wrong words.

If you want to embed an image just put image tags around the image link...

Its not just an image though. Its an interactive map. You can click links within the app and it will show you where we are from. Its the link below. Can it be embeded in a post?

Read Magics posts in the Relationship Thread.

I'm not making one, but if you can find one for vBulletin 4 we can buy one if there's enough demand.

Just use Dark Reader or something similar.

Is anybody else having issues when writing out posts in the quick reply box on Chrome mobile? It freezes fairly regularly.

Would people want a dark skin for the forum. Switching over from dark mode websites has this place burning my eyes out.

Yes.

Although on the last page I did ask (some time ago now) and you had a look and the skins were shit.

They are awful I’m looking to see if I can find metro dark.

A dark mobile one would be boss.

Can't we upgrade from vB 4 to version 5.6.4?

He's come in hot.

You love to see it.

We'll see who's laughing when I find my tape measure again.

This is a strong start, welcome back.

Is this better or worse than me still using my original @hotmail.com account?

It’s happened again, only this time a far bigger player. :cool: (No offence, Ben.)

Fucking black and white shite.

Was he not the lad that had to go into witness protection?

Is casual uk a dating site or something? It’ll be another alias anyway.

Yeah, for meeting young Asian men.

U wot m8

I remember him. Tell him to come back.

Kinda feel like Baz is hunting down ex-TTHers across the internet. Like The Blacklist but with FM nerds instead

They’re hunting me down.

Henry is biding his time. Murder by Alias.

Is the site as buggy as fuck for anyone else today?

Seems to mainly be the summer transfer thread and the Japanese assassination thread that are broken for me. The latest posts don’t load. Is there some sort of weird links or media common to both?

Im also having trouble in the transfer thread.

Yeah, assassination thread since yesterday. Only on iOS as I haven’t had the laptop out.

It was on my phone too - was getting this after a while.

It seems to be ok on Chome on Windows.

No weird media or links that I can see. The only common factor I can see is Shinners.
@Shindig do you normally have an avatar linked? I don't see one under your name on the laptop but just on the off chance Chrome is blocking it and Safari is trying to load it.

Don’t think he does. Tweets maybe?

Both working fine for me as far as I can see.

You’re on the proper website, me and Giggles are on the mobile version.

I thought it might have been Safari since the 15.6 update to iOS but it’s the same story on Chrome on the phone.

It’s this.

Boydy embedded a tweet in the assassination thread and Lewis in the transfer thread. Neither load and then the thread completely breaks.

Weirdly my recently embedded tweet in the rugby thread causes no problems. Hopefully @SvN knows what’s up.

Yeah tweets have always been ok up to now. They fucked up the first unread position a bit but that was the height of it. Wonder has something on twitters end changed.

Is everyone having the problem on iOS? Not getting the problem on Android.

I’m on iOS using Chrome

Ditto

That's what you get for buying a shit phone.

iOS using safari and NOT the mobile skin

Looks like a problem with Twitter.

https://twittercommunity.com/t/can-s...t-embed/173820

Foobarbazpaz. Sign him up.

As a temporary measure, I've disabled embedded Tweets. Will re-enable once Twitter sort their shit out.

Their sensitive content stuff has been fucked up for ages. Maybe Musk will get it sorted.

Musk has bottled it.

Twitter reckon they've fixed this, so I've re-enabled embedded Tweets. Can one of the Apple nonces confirm?

The offending threads are now loading fine. :thbup:

Happening again in the summer transfer thread.

Actually, it’s just gone on to a new page so it’s grand.

Oh right, silly me I must have imagined it. Thanks for letting me know I didn’t see it.

:D

You could see that one coming.

I've tested it and no you couldn't.

Is the mobile version of the site dead, or have I inadvertently clicked something I wasn’t supposed to?

It's working for me anyway. Are you just seeing the full site on mobile?

If you are then you've hit the Full Site link down the bottom beside Logout. You need to go to the dropdown menu on the bar at the bottom of the page (it will say 'Default Style') and select 'Default Mobile Style'.

Legend. That was it. Thank you.

Please can you add a clickable 'spoiler' button like you did for the Twitter and Instagram tags, @SvN?

Done.

Toggle Spoiler

In between the twitter and instagram buttons.

Edit:

Toggle Spoiler

Moved it to the end.

That's legend level :cool:

Board has been on a go slow since yesterday. Sort it out Mark

Been no different to normal for me.

Edit: upon saying that it took 10 seconds to post that. Then another 10 to be able to edit.

Yep it’s relatively glacial this morning.

Went down earlier for a while with the database error thing.

My daughter has started being a pain at bedtime. Can we have a dark mobile skin so i can read the forum as I sit on her bedroom floor waiting for her to fall to sleep. The normal one lights up the room.

Is this place being really slow for anyone else today?

Yeah, it's a piece of shit.

It was mad slow after I got some database errors earlier. Seems a bit better now.

It's shit again.

Seems to have sorted itself now.

Shit again now.

Shit again now.

Yeah I definitely spoke too soon.

@SvN I just logged in and it took me 14 seconds to bring up the homepage. Somethings wrong.

It's running fine for those who are on the premium membership.

I haven't been active lately, but when I have I can't say I've noticed any difference. Is it still running slow now for anyone?

It has had periods of spazzing but mostly alright.

It's extremely slow today.

Alright now but yeah it was pants about 1-2 hours ago. Easy 20 seconds to load a page.

I will look at migrating the database to a better server.

Which one of you cunts is the CEO?

Dear CEO,
We are the domain registration and solution center in Shanghai, China. We received an application from Hongjia Ltd on May 7, 2023. They want to register "thethirdhalf" as their internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (thethirdhalf.cn, thethirdhalf.com.cn, thethirdhalf.net.cn, thethirdhalf.org.cn). But after checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to send email to you and confirm whether this company is your distributor in China?

Best Regards
Robert Liu | Service & Operations Manager

Getting this more often than ever.

Lol.

I've now switched to a new database server, which may or may not improve things. If things are still crap, I'll need to look for an alternative provider.

Seems quick so far

https://i.imgur.io/8W070Hw_d.webp?ma...idelity=medium

Can we let Smiffy back in please? @SvN @phonics

He should be able to login now.

Is the quick navigation thing and the Top button on the desktop site new or am I only seeing it today?

Stfu.

Liyp.

Is is possible to put Streamable videos in posts like youtube ones?

Good few database errors this morning.
