'Like' is now on the right and is doing something when I click - guess working on the features live as we go

EDIT - guess this will go under your 'likes' in your profile area when it works

Sorry, Like plug-in isn't working right, I'll put it back when I figure out the problem.

@SingleSparq We've always been listening.

These improvements have been a long time coming, I've just been REALLY busy. But I've vowed to try and make at least one forum improvement a week. Your humble host yodapollo should be back with a more comprehensive post on the improvements we've made, though you seem to be doing a good job of discovering them yourself!

SingleSparq

Thanks for listening! As a web developer watching 30 sites I know this 'busy' that you speak of and can sympathize.

Good job Gendai

Rubiyooo

and sub-categories for other languages?? :P

StormyStudio

coooool.... happy times...

iDeveloperz

That... "1 member likes this post"

but there is not much reason for it. Still its a feature and I cant complain.

iDeveloperz

Yeh, they could make something good out of it. But I think they shouldn't focus too much on the site but the program. Unless they have different developers :P

CodeMonkey

quantumsheep

SHOW OFF!!!

CodeMonkey

Just so you all know its

I hate to poo poo the awesomeness but shouldn't be "you're" awesome?

iDeveloperz

No I ment it to Game Salad. xD

quantumsheep

You expect correct use of grammar?

This is the internet, dammit!

QS

iDeveloperz

I love posting pictures now i don't have to explain things!



Thats the game i have been making. Its nearly done just need VML to explain how he spawned cans.

(I don't have an iPad by the way, It is shopped.)

quantumsheep

I foresee a lot of scrolling in our future

nulo

nice.

iDeveloperz

Try it with img src="//youtube.com/.........."

xD

I dont think it will work though. (You need to add < & >)

Vmlweb

I think the priority should be

-PM
-Quote
-Youtube
-Thank A Person For Help
-Who Is Online

giacomopoppi

i think we should have forum points, like yahoo answers, the best answer gets 10 points. with rankings and when you reach 1000 free pro membership!!! XD :P

iDeveloperz

It would be nice but their priorates should be the Game Salad program.

@VML: You on MSN?

Vmlweb

I also see some nice changes to the Tech Support section where a topic can be resolved or not resolved. Also people can select the best answer for their question

Weswog

I can't get the image posting to work

Cheers, Weswog

@Vmlweb Actually the "I like this" is the "thank" plugin for bbpress. I just changed it to "like" to fit the way its' used in the rest of the site. So if you want to thank someone for a post... "like" it!

PM will take a bit because we don't want it to be forum specific, but integrated into the site.

As for the others, I'll look for suitable plugins or whip something up over the next few week.

@iDeveloperz I'm actually the web developer (different skill sets). So no diversion of resources going on. Our team is banging away at the tool to make it better.

@giacomopoppi I'm personally not a fan of forum points... but we're looking to put something in place that's better! Stay tuned!

Anddddd..... testing:



For youtube, just paste the youtube link, the forum software will take care of the rest.
