New Forum Features

[Zeke]

Hey guys. If you look in your profiles you'll notice a new feature: country flags! Select your country and that flag will appear next to your messages. As you can see, mine is already set up.

I've actually had this mod sitting around for some time but the installation was hitting a snag and I didn't bother installing manually. Now that I've uploaded the security-fixed versions of certain pages, it installed fine. This is a good sign for reinstalling the custom titles, and maybe even that enhanced Control Panel I've talked about.

So try out the new flags. (No flag-bashing, please.) And while I've got a thread here, any other features you guys would like to see, or changes you want made? If you've said something and I've forgotten, please bring it to my attention again.

What? No state flags? I want a Florida flag.

[Kira]

You said something once about enabling personal photos in profiles.

[KillerGodMan]

I LIKE it!

[Xeroc]

I like it too, but it's too bad you can't have a "custom flag" option, however.

(I'm also suspicious that everyone is putting the right flags on... :P )

[Draknek]

Yay for flags

[Chancellor Valium]

Yay! But no individual flags for countries within the uk? There'll be complaints from any north-walian members....hows about a uk flag with a welsh dragon on it? Something I'm planning for my primacy..... :wink:

[Zeke]

Just so nobody gets their hopes up: I'm not going to make any additions to the country flags mod any time soon. That would be considerably more work than just installing the thing, which was a matter of two or three clicks.

[Chancellor Valium]

fair enough.

[NAHTMMM]

^Agreed. :)


But could you see about changing the text color in the log-in fields so it isn't white-on-white? Thanks! ;)

[PointyHairedJedi]

Not so much a technical suggestion, but maybe we should start a welcome thread of some sort for new members?

[Chancellor Valium]

^good idea.

[Celeste]

Coolness.

[PointyHairedJedi]

^good idea.
"Permission to write home immediately sir!"

I'm bothered that there's actually a USSR flag.

Rain: Soviet? The USSR broke up 5 years ago. The KGB doesn't even exist anymore.
Paris: That's what they'd like you to think.

[Nan]

I miss the member titles. :(

[catalina_marina]

I'm bothered that there's actually a USSR flag.
And none of Sealand. :wink:

I like them. :)

[Opium]

I miss the member titles. :(

Agreed...it sure would be nice if the member titles came back... esspecially since one of my kitties is missing...

[PointyHairedJedi]

"The Soviet Union? I thought you broke up years ago!"
"Yes, that's what we wanted you to think..."

That episode is quite possibly one of my favourites, mainly for the scene where Homer goes to enlist. ;)

That's funny, mine seems to be back, but no one else's does.... :wink:

[PointyHairedJedi]

Now, everyone form a que, and we'll thwap him one by one in an orderly fashion.

[KillerGodMan]

Oo! Can I use a bat? Can I use a bat? *Get's into que holding a bat*

[MaverickZer0]

Me next!
*lines up with Z-Saber*

Incidentally, what I originally thought about the calendar function was that it was to put up our birthdates on, seeing as there was no room in the profiles. Oh well. Best not to, I guess, as mine is coming up.

Me too *misses knowing people's birthdays*

And happy nearly birthday Maverick :mrgreen:

[MaverickZer0]

Yeah, instead we track posts by date...which, in all fairness to ikonboard, is a pretty silly way to track posts.

Thank you, Alexia. Now I just have to make sure no one in my school remembers and...oh! I don't have to! It's on the weekend! Woo!

[Zeke]

That's actually what the calendar is SUPPOSED to be for, but it needs to work together with another mod which I've never managed to install. I'll keep trying.

[NeoMatrix]

As for keeping track of birthdays, there is always LJ, lol

[Opium]

Hey, Zeke: is anything going to be done with the eTrektion?

Just wondering :P

[Zeke]

Yes. But unfortunately, unless I get a sudden burst of inspiration, it won't be for a while. I have huge, HUGE things going on this month, from personal to occupational to financial to online-al.

[Opium]

Hey, it's understandable. No one wants you to go crazy simply for a fun, great, enteraining, funny online distraction. Take the time you need. No one wants an overworked Zeke.
