Upgrade to 1.21

I added some new plugins from http://mods.mybboard.com/
1) Automatic double-post merger.
2) Two different forum overview plugins (since there's features of both I like) - one is at the top and auto refreshes, and one is at the bottom and has some info tha.t I tested it in 1024 in the current setup (i changed some of the html in it) and it works properly.
3) Preview thread. In a forum, hover over the post hot/unread/etc icon (it's a card back in the CMC theme) and it'll give you a nice tooltip.
4) A list of activated plugins (click on lower left) strangely doesn't list itself.

The auto-refreshing overview thing is, however, still awesome.

Edit: The bottom of the forum plugin does display properly now.

This might get in the way in Mafia games... we'll see.

The one at the top bothers me, it takes up a fair bit of space gets in the way when casually browsing the index page. (I usually scroll through the forum list watching for "new post" icons to see if there's anything I haven't read yet.) Neither contains information that greatly interests me, and the stuff in the bottom-of-forum overview seems to be the same as what can be seen at forum statistics.

EDIT: Look for a test of the double post plugin, coming soon to the test forums near you.

Fixed that.

Well I haven't posted in about two months yet my max HP is quite high... WEIRD

EDIT: wait yeahjust worked it out seems to work.

Observation: the main page is really big. Is it possible to collapse completely the board statistics at the bottom?

A request: Take out the confirmation page that goes with quick replies, making it quicker. (Was there a reason it wasn't done before?)

the reason is that I can't do that I don't think.

Well, this isn't really a bug, but I figured I'd show it anyway.

Also, is it just me, or are the forums loading rather slowly?

yeah the forums are slow. I dont know if it's the plugins or just the server being slow as it does sometimes. I'll leave it for now.

Replying to my previous worry, I have confirmed that double post merger happens in a manner not harmful to Mafia games. Lynch on.

Basically it automatically does what Masa has been doing manually for a while

I don't know if it's just where I'm connecting from, but the forums worked fine before the new stuff on the main page. Now, it slowed to a crawl. My guess would be that it was indeed the new plugins you added.

Though, it may make it harder to bump some threads (at the current rate of RP, that may be desirable), but that's not a major issue. We'll manage.

seems to have sped up again though.

I added a mod that lets people go to #cmc irc from the forum. It's in the upper right.

Error Message when doubleposting Wrote:MySQL error: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax near 're not including e as a category, because basically, if you can't work out what ' at line 3
Query: UPDATE mybb_posts SET message='e is a monster type just like any other, and it would be. But we're not including e as a category, because basically, if you can't work out what World's Biggest e does, you just don't buy it. End of. Also going to test this doublepost merger thing, that apparently does what I've been doing manually for a while.

So yeah, anyway, while I could add every type in existence (and even make up some), it\'d only make sense to add types that have an effect on the game. That is, only types with a synergy or anti-synergy etc, just so that the Pumpkin shows up on the Category pages for deckbuilding purposes. It might mean that the Pumpkin has a few lines of categories, and might look a little silly, but I feel that the functionality and actual use would outweigh any aesthetic penalties the page might receive.' WHERE pid='141798'

Mayhaps I'll carry on doing it manually. Or at least in that specific instance anyway.

Firefox 1.5, bla bla bla, looks server side though, even though I really don't know a thing about SQL.

If anyone noticed stuff vanish for a while there (especially the thread overview thing), that would be my fault for whining to Webby about the subforums taking forever to load.

I'll leave it to him to explain, since he knows what's going on, unless he wants me to as punishment.

I disabled the thread-preview hover, since it was adding far more load than the main page thingy was.

Randomly while at work (Internet Explorer) I get an error message popping up when I leave it on the front page, and it fails to auto-refresh. It seems half german, half geometric.

Error message Wrote:â–¡ersicht: Fehler!

No idea what the square's meant to mean, and I can't be bothered babelfishing it. Probably just means "Attention: Error" or something, but if you fancy playing about with the plugin maybe you could put something english in there?

Yeah, some of the stuff was still in German (the javascript, for instance).

I fixed that, and the "Uberschist by" on the main page.

I just added a mod that allows javascript resizing of text boxes (like the reply box) if you need more room.

Oh, nice and simple and works. Nice. Yes, nice enough to say it twice.

The popup now says 'Overview: Error'.

Actually, this is just another doublepost merger test really.
