I like it!

[Norbert]

Okay.
David, if you create/pick an icon for your editor, I'll start moving some things around to implement the forum changes I proposed.

[robert]

More than great

[Norbert]

I've applied all the changes.
Some threads may say they contain unread messages even though they don't.
Other than that, everything should be as expected.
If there are any problems, let me know.

A short note on forum privileges.
In practice, this is a rather insignificant issue here, because it's a small community and we rarely need to moderate posts.
Anyway, I've changed the forum privileges of some people.
The summary is that I've removed privileges from folks who either haven't been around for many, many years or only visit the forum a couple of times a year, and I've given programmer global moderator privileges.
Details can be found in the overview below; this is the current situation:

Administrators: poirot, contest (= so far, only used by Norbert)
Global moderators: poirot, Norbert, programmer
English Moderator Team: mk1995
Polish Moderator Team: ten_z_palacu
German Moderator Team: mk1995
Dutch Moderator Team: tristan1993
Russian Moderator Team: yaqxsw

Global moderators can modify posts everywhere, so every board has four moderators in total, which should be more than enough.
If any of the people whom I've removed privileges from ever want these back, that's not a problem.
Of course, in the end, we decide who has which privileges together, if necessary in consultation with poirot.
Anyway, as an IT guy I felt/feel it's bad practice to keep a 'thousand' people (that I've personally never even seen on this forum) mods/admins for basically no reason.
If anyone is pissed and wants more (super) powers, let me know.

kamil9595pl, this is a warning.
If you keep asking when a video or more information about PR will be published, I will ban you for 1 day.

Alright, as suggested by Jakim in this thread...

Code: Select all

[trick]number[/trick]

and

Code: Select all

[trickvideo]number[/trickvideo]

...now work.

For example, this...

Code: Select all

[trick]42[/trick]

[trickvideo]42[/trickvideo]

..creates:

42



This makes it easier to link to trick videos and to embed trick videos.

Why is only shitty „prosilver” style available?

I've made lots of customizations to this forum, including but not limited to adding a shoutbox and Facebook social plugin.
Some of these take quite an effort to implement, which means I've only made them to the prosilver theme.
There were only like 3 people using the "subsilver2" theme and I thought it would be best if everyone had the theme that includes the customizations.
But apparently you were one of those few people using the "subsilver2" theme, and you think the "prosilver" theme is "shitty".
So, you've got your "subsilver2" back; I hope you don't miss out on any stuff you might care about.

Say, why does the chat history show different times than the actual chat on the top of the page?
(And maybe the history should also show dates?)

Fixed.

This is no longer the current situation. Only poirot and I currently have mod/admin permissions. I will notify poirot about this via e-mail (ecalot TA princed TOD org). The reasons for this are that programmer's account and all his posts seem to have been deleted without notice (mk1995 appears to have helped him with this) and that the administrator log has also been emptied, which in my opinion is unacceptable behavior. I'm going to look into these and other things, and until I've figured out what exactly has happened, nobody but me and poirot will have mod/admin permissions.

[Norbert]

[...], and until I've figured out what exactly has happened, [...]

So, the six topics that programmer deleted (IDs 1693, 445, 438, 403, 401 and 51) only contained posts from him.
He had 718 posts on this forum, going all the way back to February 2005. I've looked through all of his (non-Polish) posts in a backup I have and nothing crucial appears to be lost.

I'll keep nine screenshots collages of his 690 public posts - not made in the mod/admin section - here...
http://www.princed.org/downloads/various/programmer.zip (14MB)
...until August 21st. This should be enough time for the regular visitors here to look through his posts to prevent anything important from being lost.
On August 21st, at the end of the day, I'll delete that file.

[Edit 21 Aug.: Removed the file.]

[Norbert]

Made it possible to embed Tweets.

This, for example...

Code: Select all

[tweet]https://twitter.com/PoPModding/status/360403686977056768[/tweet]

...will display:

[Norbert]

The shoutbox history (chat history) now shows the last 100 messages, with the option - a button - to load everything.
