RMN IMPROVEMENTS

Posts

Let's just be happy with the stats... I am just glad the "X reviews" is there next to the stars.
You can now update team names and engines for Events with teams.
the team stuff is very cool, nice job!

ME too. It's nice to know how big your sample is. Would love this for polls.
I have a slight suggestion. When viewing comments on games maybe have the latest comments show first. I know its supposed to represent a forum and all, but I think it'd be a nice feature. Of course this is just my opinion, I'm sure others object.
I think having the Star rating say "not yet rated would be better. I know that the site needs more before this though.

Also, it would be nice to be able to subscribe/unsubscribe threads. It would also be nice if you could choose to not be automatically subscribed to tutorials.

the site really doesn't move fast enough to make this necessary; it would just be extra weight for not a lot of helpful functionality.

How about a bar listing who's on at the moment? It's nice to know who's available to talk to.
What was added in the last update:

- Added sort asc/desc buttons to game/blog/image/event/article/tutorial posts so you can sort them with the newest on top (will look into making this something you can set in your settings in the future).

- You can now delete Event entries right from the Event page (Manage Entry / Entries). This does not touch locker files or game downloads; it only removes the Event entry.

- Integrated markitup on most, if not all text areas on the site. There are some of (what I think) the most used bbcode functions on there right now. Let us know if there should be other buttons up there! Also, please let us know if you notice any performance issues (i.e. if it is slow / non-responsive).

- upgraded the sites copy of jquery. I didn't look over every one of the sites js scripts, so I'm not sure if this will have any adverse effects. I didn't notice any when I was testing the site.

I think that is everything...

EDIT: I forgot to take into account custom game profiles when I implemented markitup. I'll see what I can do to fix that. Might be as simple as letting you know what CSS you need to change to customize it, although it can be a bit fickle with CSS. Also, it is not enabled when editing posts.

I think this would be very nice. Maybe a symbol or something next to their name?

Since we are talking about improvements, I really think the "New to RMN" topic should have its own category under the Forum link, maybe at the top, as it may be difficult for new people to find. It's helped me quite a bit myself when I first joined RMN and I still reference it from time to time. Just a suggestion.

This idea is being implemented somehow. I just haven't figured out the best way to do it yet.

Also, I need to update the article.


An idea may be to have it stickied in the Help and Requests topic, since the Master Help list is also there. Anyhow, that was just a thought. Overall, these improvements so far have been a nice addition to the site.

Did you wait overnight? makerscore is calculated overnight.
The "today" rather implies MS hasn't recalculated yet.

In short, be patient, young grasshopper. It'll update tonight.
Ah thanks. Sorry I didn't know about that. >.< Thanks for the help though :3

Says Mr. 0 Makerscore. (JK)
If you notice the little rmn logo kinda floating in the middle of your topbar up there, you should hard refresh the page (ctrl + F5 / right-click and select reload) to see the change I made. The little rmn logo in the upper left hand corner now takes you back to the front page when you click on it.
