    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



    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;




    (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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    High Quality Gifs Can Now Be Embedded

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    I'll look into the other week.

    My dab at the WhatsApp was very much a joke. A forum is whatever you contribute to it. Those sniping about how shit it is (still haven't understood this, disappeared for about 2 years and theres only a 5 or so member difference in the regulars) don't make anything better.

    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.

    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?

    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.

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

    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.
