Ah, maybe put the calendar where the setting showcase thing is now on the left and move fantaseum or the showcase to the right side.

That may make people more likely to use the calendar and to look at it for IRC games.

LD

Also, maybe rename Play By Post roleplaying section into "Game Playing (Play by Post and IRC Games)"

So that we could put all the IRC threads in one centralized location...I always seem to find it confusing to remember where someone is going to put the thread advertising their game.

That's a really excellent idea.

This is a really good idea, I'll go ahead and do that.

Thanks. Can you move the two new threads that I just started (see the recent threads feed).

Also: This should be moved: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?63994

Also, did you see my other comments/suggestions on the page before this one (in this thread)?

And if we're moving threads... would it be more approprate to put this in META http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?62761 since it's less about COGS site issues. And this one: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?63942

Moved the first two, the last one though I think is fine in the cogs section. Also I've seen every comment in this thread. Even if I don't speak on something I promise you I've been considering every post in this thread. The only ones I'm acting on at the moment though are ones that I can immediately put into action. Ones that require serious coding or work in general though (thread tags, setting showcase revival, etc) are for later, and we can always use more feedback on them anyways.

LD

No problem and thank you again. Just wanted to make sure that my spamming the thread with a few posts in a row on the previous page didn't cause some to become lost in the shuffle.

For ease of use: here are the two threads I started that probably should now be in the RP section: http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?120987.last and http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?120995.last

In the Forum Statistics, under the Top Repliers section, there is a person with no name listed as having made 39,924 posts. It only showed up recently and it bugs me!

Bugs me too but I don't have the slightest clue how to fix it.

I have a small request that I'm primarily mentioning because I think it'd be easy to implement-- I don't imagine it'd be used by many people besides me. I'd like to have the functionality of the {dice}{/dice} tags expanded so they can easily handle Fudge dice (the ones used for FATE. (There are sloppy workarounds if this can't be added, but it'd be nice if it could be-- especially if the dice script could reference and list the accompanying adjectives as well, so that instead of seeing results of "-2" and "+4", you'd see "Terrible (-2)" and "Great (+4)", etc.)

I'll talk with Ish about where the bbcode functions are stored. :)

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

Agreed. In the meantime, though, I believe OpenOffice can make PDF files, which we can already attach.
