THE FORUMS SUCK.

Posts

Okay, to be more specific, the actual forums were coded very poorly. WIP, you have even confirmed this. Is there any hope of the forums to see an improvement codewise, even in gradual, minor improvements? I mean, we don't even have the options for polls.

We don't even have polls.
The only thing I'd want is the "new post" feature. Where you click the "view" or "new" or whatever and it takes you to the most recent post you haven't read yet. Currently it always takes me to the last post.

(I think it takes me to the most recent unread post from the forum main page thingie which implies this shouldn't be impossible)

Fair enough. But we have to wait for RMN3 to get something as basic as polls? The lack of polls really hurts.

Yes.

To clarify, I am not doing anymore more work on the current site that is not any sort of fatal bug.
*Foams at the mouth with rage*

Okay, I can suck it up. By the way, what new forum features do you have planned for RMN3?

Polls are the only thing I have implemented in RMN3 that is new.
I mean, before you said the forums were poorly coded; is the code going to be improved at all?

Yes. Currently with RMNv2, the main site and the forums are two completely different systems that can talk to each other. With RMN3, the forums are integrated directly into the site and coded by myself. The current forums are SMF and made in PHP.
Word.

This topic was very informative! Much appreciated, WIP.

Its not really necessary since it could be done by other ways, but it would nice if we could have a spoilers function.
We do have a spoilers function, I believe. Unless you meant a spoiler button that's easily accessible, in that case I agree.

Yeah. That's what I mean when I said I know there are other means. Again, its not really dire or anything, but its just nice to have it.

At least this place has an actual fucking site attached to its (shitty) forums. Unlike some...other...places.

lol did you mean this?
So to clarify, do you mean that you're ditching smf completely and using a forum coded from scratch?

Hmph, I never saw a button for it so I didn't even know it was around.


And yeah, GP is right. Albeit the forum may be sub par to some folks, I guess at least we will/have a functional main site. :P
In my magic crystal ball I see... WIP coding a new forum in Python, something he always wanted to do because he can't stand php, wait whats this, everything went boom when transfering all the topics over to it.
Why wouldn't the topics be able to be transferred?

Beats me. Maybe he hasn't heard of conversion scripts?
