Title: [7/15/12] Forum Update
Post by: Scratchie on July 15, 2012, 11:14:41 PM

(http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/Themes/DSv4c2/images/cgforumsupdate.png)

Just finished a few things for the forums.

Tapatalk is enabled for mobile/Chrome users. Allows notifications of stuff like PM's and a better mobile browsing experience.
Added in a post merging system. Any double post will automatically merge into the post before it.
(A few days ago) I implemented a new system. Forum profiles now show the ban status of each server, and if banned will show the reason, time left, and banner (banner only on non-hl2rp servers)

Thanks for the update, now I can browse the forum on a mobile device without being glitched back to the top of the page randomly

So RTLK, you fixed double post to prevent useless post whoring but the only problem remains is the annoying post limit for applications.
If you can fix that some how... :/

Honestly, i must say, sometimes double posts are needed, or very useful. I think its a stupid idea to make them auto merge. I would really suggest removing that. Let the admins take care of double posts like they are supposed to.

Anything else, i love it <3

That double post system actually seems pretty damn cool. Well done and thanks. :P

Even though the automerge is good, i agree that it isnt needed because sometimes doubleposts are useful ( think OP and then a reserved post etc).

I really like the ban system though. Thats awesome

For the tapatalk: YES! YES!

For the double post: WHYYY??? I use that to add posts to logs, put updates on developer threads, and add placehOlders on really big guides.

I would suggest a checkbox when posting which is by default enabled for automerging a double post, which you can also uncheck to do as people above mentioned, to be able to do say an original post then slap a reserve post underneath for certain threads or for character logs for HL2RP.

The problem is that they do not take care of it.

I modified the system, admins do not have their posts merge, and merging will not happen after 1 day if no reply has been done.

Yes! That second part is that one fix I was looking for.

While reading this thread I reminded myself that sometimes people do have to post multiple times. For example personal logs in the CCA thread etc.
But having this system that it won't auto-merge if a new post is made after 24 hours, it's much better.
Thanks Lynx! :D
