Upgrade to 1.21

I wonder if I can edit the template to make sigs scroll indpendantly over a certain physical size.

Oh, it's not that bad. Wasn't the old rule that if you made a blank post and your sig was longer than your avatar, it was too long?

The person I'm referring to has approximately 30 lines equivalent of signature, with a sidepanel of about 20 lines (including name, av and full IE status readout). So they're far beyond the old rule.

Yeah, I saw that person. Still, people overall are fairly good about it.

Yeah, I guess if I was actually bothered about it I'd just disable signatures...

I like the "Hover Here" feature, makes sense.

You think that you could put the Equip and/or Status Bars in it? Then people wouldn't have to worry about taking too much space. Or maybe I should stop talking about the status bar thing, but I can't help it.....

And rank would be better, in my opinion, to be in levels (like in the exp bar), then people might get the idea that high level palyers are good to team up with.... or something...

Anyway, brain-dead-zob-at-school....

Considering hwo unimportant it is, I wouldn't really be all that interested in looking at people's equipment if it took more than a token effort. Sure, it's fun glancing to the side briefly to see if someone has anything interesting (at least, it became fun once customized items allowed people to have more than a bunch of short swords), but if I had to hover over them individually... doubt I'd bother.

I'll see if I can put the EXP bars in the hover box

Hey, where'd that "Possibly Related Threads" thing come from below the Quick Reply box? And any chance it could be set up to link to other boards? That'd be a great thing to have for the RPs if we could link OOC threads to the IC ones, and possibly related duels.
And, even though I don't play CMC or visit those boards, somehow I'm thinking cross-board linking would be good for the CMC-related threads as well.

I'm just curious, is there any way to make the 'hover here' section optional? So that, if you're like me and could care less about the the length on the left hand side, you can just have it easily accessable? If it's too much work, just ignore me. It's not really important, it would just make things easier for some people I assume.

not easily, I don't think

Seconded. And it'll be even better if the thread authour could set the links for the related threads.

Hey, neat! I can see the HP, MP and EXP bars ^^! Though, um, how are they calculated. It looks like I need a potion.

I have a question!

Who here isn't a mage, according to these test stats?

Newbies?

Confirmed.  Newly registered users have less MP.  Chookies anyone?

Oh and looks like we've found Karn

And there's like 100's of Ardams around here.  Tesla's sure gonna be happy!

From what I can tell in the code:
Level is based on post count. ( pow (log10 (post count), 3); )
Max HP is based on level and posts per day. (level * 25 * (postsperday /6)) (postsperday /6 is limited between 1 and 1.5)
current HP is based on posts per day (postsperday)
Max MP is based on how long you have been registered and your level. (daysreg * level / 5)
current Mp appears to be based on your level as well. (posts / 3)

A couple of people have max or near max hp (in the upper hundreds), such as sqweek. Most people are dead or near death. Very odd.

PHP Code:

{
    global $mybb, $db;
    $daysreg = (time() - $post['regdate']) / (24*3600);
    $postsperday = $post['postnum'] / $daysreg;
    $postsperday = round($postsperday, 2);
    if($postsperday > $post['postnum'])
    {
        $postsperday = $post['postnum'];
    }
    $rpglvl = str_replace(array(' ', ',', '.'), '', $post['postnum']);
    $level = pow (log10 ($rpglvl), 3);
    $ep = floor (100 * ($level - floor ($level)));
    $showlevel = floor ($level + 1);
    $hpmulti = round ($postsperday / 6, 1);
    if ($hpmulti > 1.5)
    {
        $hpmulti = 1.5;
    }
    if ($hpmulti < 1)
    {
        $hpmulti = 1;
    }

    $maxhp = $level * 25 * $hpmulti;
    $hp = $postsperday / 1;
    if ($hp >= 1)
    {
        $hp = $maxhp;
    }
    else
    {
        $hp = floor ($hp * $maxhp);
    }
    $hp = floor ($hp);
    $maxhp = floor ($maxhp);
    if ($maxhp <= 0)
    {
        $zhp = 1;
    }
    else
    {
        $zhp = $maxhp;
    }
    $hpf = floor (100 * ($hp / $zhp)) - 1;

    $maxmp = ($daysreg * $level) / 5;
    $mp = $rpglvl / 3;
    if ($mp >= $maxmp)
    {
        $mp = $maxmp;
    }
    $maxmp = floor ($maxmp);
    $mp = floor ($mp);
    if ($maxmp <= 0)
    {
        $zmp = 1;
    }
    else
    {
        $zmp = $maxmp;
    }
    $mpf = floor (100 * ($mp / $zmp)) - 1;

    $showlevel = my_number_format($showlevel);
    $maxhp = my_number_format($maxhp);
    $hp = my_number_format($hp);
    $maxmp = my_number_format($maxmp);
    $mp = myphp_number_format($mp);
    //output html here

} 


*shrug*

I dunno, for people over 1000hp there seems to be some truncation to two digits? Just a guess, but I can't see anything wrong with the code. Also, 6.66 posts per day =P

Edit: An auto-refreshing overview of latest threads/posts? Awesome!

The infoboxes at the bottom... well, can't imagine what they'd look like in 1024x768 or less (and can't be botthered changing my res), but at what I'm at they're ruined by wrapping. Some of them, such as most viewed threads and most replied threads, could be removed (these will pretty much never change ever).

Crazy when these new things just appear out of nowhere...

So, on another note... the "inline thread popup" plugin.

Firstly, it seems to always show the beginning first post of the thread, which is not overly useful, since anyone who ever looked at the thread once would already know it just by the title. Last post would be a little more useful, though nothing is really a replacement for just clicking on the thread.

Secondly, it seems to malfunction when the first post contains a link. See attachment.
