A Few Forum Features

[Alex.]

1.) Default Forum Avatar:

The default forum avatar has returned to the default MyBB one rather than the custom black one that was made for these forums. I remember pointing this out to St. Denis a really long while ago (February), but it seems to have remained the same. Link to image.

Wouldn't be surprised if an upgrade had killed some customisation we made. Did we just overwrite images/default_avatar.png ? If so I think we can just upload the proper one to the web server, get a forum admin to point the useravatar setting at it, and fix the shoutbox code not to hardcode the default URL.

2.) The ability to quick quote:

A long while ago we had the ability to highlight segments of text from someone's post and an option would appear that allowed you to quote just that bit of text. This made things very handy for when you are picking apart big walls of text or addressing individual points. Out of all of the features, I can think of, this is the one I'd most like to see return.

I don't know what code provided this.

3.) Forum/Game Stats

(This one I think is API related) - It would be really nice if we could once again see what system was the most popular, what ship was most used, things like that. Maybe which ship of each class is most used? Would be pretty cool.

(Me and Laz are discussing how to achieve this)

5.) Can we change the CSS for shoutbox text from #555 to #a0a0a0? It is a lot easier to read.

Ask a forum admin.
