The Syndicate

Our goal is to continue to improve the experience of our members as you all play here at The Syndicate. To that end, we welcome your input on features and improvements you might like to see added to our forums. We can't promise we will do everything suggested, but we will do our best to look into each of them and evaluate how we think they might work within our community. If we think it is achievable and would make the user experience better, then we will try to make it happen! So let us know what you'd like to see added!

I think it was you that requested linkback and post numbers, which I have already located. So if all goes well, those will be coming soon.

Fixed the quick reply it was an overlooked setting when creating the forum. If you see the quick reply missing anywhere else, please continue to note it here and I can fix it in the ACP easy peasy. Thanks guys and sorry about that!

We can yes, I meant to put that on my list so thanks for reminding me.

I was requested to see if we can adjust the board width in the two new styles. I have added a mod that allows the user to set their own width. You can see it at the top next to the Quick links icon. It does not work for the Carbon, but it does work for the negreen-black. I've also got expanded poll functions installed. We will be able to set poll voters as visible, but we still can't see the order in which votes were cast.

Yep both are already fixed. Polls are only lacking the ability to see what order the votes were placed in now.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow night.

What Sherry said. The polls don't currently have an option for having the votes listed in order of when they were placed. I have yet to see a mod for that and suspect it might be something that was custom coded by someone who is not present in our community any longer.

I hate both the dark styles. I have one that was just released that is a black/blue/ red scheme, but the one I really want, which is a nice black and red one is still in early stage development. The developer seems to be very active though so I am sure it will be done eventually, but it takes time. When I get back from vacation I'm going to tackle seeing if I can get the other one installed and the header graphic in place as well. Thanks for your patience guys, I know it isn't ideal.

I thought I saw it somewhere, let me look around. If not I know there is an extension I can install, I would just want to test it out on my test board first to make sure it plays well with our other extensions.

I am aware of the ppp problem. I will notify everyone when I find an answer. I don't know why it's not working. This may be a mix up in the update, I dont not know yet, but I will let everyone know when I have an answer. Additionally, this is a thread for features we do t have that you think would be cool. Bugs and problems with existing features go in a different thread.

Also, I think it is only your graphics that are being difficult, mine all seem ok. Did you maybe hit some kind of limit or something LC?

I looked around and couldn't figure out where I thought I saw that function to see who posted in a thread and how many posts. I'll look into getting it added after I'm home, sometime this week.

Didn't realize this was some kind of personal attack. I was spitballing as to why mine still worked, which is frankly weird because I just read an article about the terms of service and what not. But if you want to take it personally feel free. Whatever man.

I've got nothing but love for you Juliets, no worries.

We now have simple mentions! This means if you use the @ symbol and then begin to type someone's user name a drop down will appear and you click on the name. It will enter the mention tag and will create a notification for the person you are mentioning as illustrated above. Sorry Quin and Jay for using you as guinea pigs. Will be handy way in game to get someone's attention.Try it out! However, if you don't put the mention at the beginning of your post it won't generate the mention.

Additionally there is now one tag for almost any media you might want to link to. Just use the media tag button that looks like a TV around the url of what you want embedded in your post and it does the work for you.

We also have name suggestions when writing PMs. As you type the name of the member or member group you want to identify as the recipient of your PM a drop down will generate suggesting member names based upon what you have typed.

Finally, I've heard requests for the Who Posted in this topic clickable number, and now we have it!

I think that covers all the extensions I've installed to this point. I'll check in next time I have more to report. In the meantime feel free to let me know about any issues you run into over in the Feedback thread.

Hey, you got it to work [mention]Quin[/mention]! I guess the mention works anywhere in the post after all, that's great!

Well crap. We are having a variety of issues between the desktop and mobile view it seems. I'll look into this for you guys. It may take a bit though because I assume the mobile has its own coding to write... thanks for your patience.

[mention]juliets[/mention] [mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention] [mention]Jackofhearts2005[/mention]

I will let you know what I find or when I fix it.

[mention]Dragon D. Luffy[/mention] [mention]Dom[/mention]

The issue with alignment in the mobile view has been fixed, as has the issue with the online flag covering up a button. All it took was reinstalling the style, ensuring I was using the most recent version of the style released. Problem solved. Sorry guys. Now I am going to reinstall the ISO function.

No, that is an unrelated issue that I haven't got an answer to yet.

Got a new feature request.

There's an "Isolate Posts by X" under everyone's avatar on desktop but not on mobile. It would be super helpful to have that on mobile, too.

I somehow overlooked this request. Interesting catch. I'll see if perhaps there is a separate file that needs edited to include this... it might take some time though since I don't know much about coding. I'll let you know when I have some kind of answer though.

Long Con wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:50 pm I think that the Mafia forum should be above the Business Front forum. It's by far the more frequently posted-in forum, so making it closer to the top of the page, and more convenient, makes sense.

Done!

Also [mention]Marmot[/mention] fixed the color issue for NP blue as you requested.

Not yet, no.

The old voting?

It's from the update. The previous ability to see the order votes were placed in we believe was custom coding written by LT which was deleted when we did the update. I can find no such extension anywhere, so adding it will require me learning how to code it myself. That's the plan but I'm not there yet, sorry. It's not a matter plugging a mod in unfortunately. Otherwise I would have done it by now.

I think that it's not present in the mobile view. In the desktop view it's under the avatar and username.

Always glad to be of service to you my friend!

I've searched high low, there does not appear to be an existing mid forthat at the moment. It will be top of the wish list once I learn how to code this stuff myself.

[mention]juliets[/mention] MU uses vBulletin I believe and we use phpbb, so they are different. We would not be able to just steal their codes. Now, I am coming up on a lot of free time and will definitely like some distractions so perhaps I can figure out the code with the resources I got to learn the phpbb coding. I’ll give it a go.
