...you don't need my permission to start new threads.

When do you actually want it to end?

The previous restore was against the string "youtube".  Which excluded "youtu.be"...  I've done the restore again, and reapplied the tagging fix.  I have also liberally applied super glue to my fingers, so they can't be uncrossed again!

Looks like I messed up one or more of the scripts.  I've got a backup from the night of the upgrade, I'll patch them over when I get the chance.

Turns out I replaced all the YouTube URLs with just the IDs, rather than just the YouTube BBCoded ones.  I've restored from the backup, and will reapply the intended fix... eventually...

Fingers crossed, all YouTube URLs should be restored, and [youtube] tags fixed.

I can at least do some database magic to update all the YouTube tags to only use the IDs.

This is done.  Seems to have worked fine.

I'm seeing YouTube links in old posts reduced to just the bare ID string, e.g.: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?msg=505949

I have this unusual usability problem, likely because I have mod rights in certain threads, "Quick edit" button also shows for me on other peoples posts, and I keep clicking on it occasionally when trying to reply... Good thing I was able to notice what i do wrong before saving the post.
Is there a way to make it more distinct when it's not on my own posts perhaps? I don't want to remove someones text by mistake...

I've changed the label to "Quick Edit (Other's)" on moderators' posts.

Trying to login in AGS Wiki takes me back to the forum, and when I access AGS Wiki, it's not logged anymore.

Work in progress!

I'll have a think about this!

It looks like my "trophies" ("X worked on one or more games that won/were nominated for an AGS award") are not showing under my profile pic. Is there a setting I've missed somewhere that I need to enable in order to display them? Or are my itch/twitter icons overriding them?

Fixed!

Yeah, when I said "show fine", I meant it rendered as you'd probably expect, linebreaks and all.  Only the hide example didn't.  All tags are handled programmatically, so I'd expect any nested tag will break:

Code: java

System.out.print("Hello");
System.out.println("World");

EDIT: or not...  Perhaps it's just the code tag library JS specifically then!

In your first example both code blocks show fine for me.  In the second one, it seems to work fine if it isn't wrapped in a hide tag.  I'd assume the code formatting plugin's parser doesn't recognise code blocks when they're nested inside another tag.

Yeah, the new forums version doesn't seem to work properly with the MediaWiki integration anymore.  I'm working on it.

Is it possible to retrieve the topic ID of a thread?

I've added a "#" button to the top left of every thread, with a link to the un-prettified URL.

Actually, I've just realised it directs to the inbox not the sent items. But I think if you change /?sa=sent to /?f=sent , that might do the trick.

Fixed, thanks!

Thanks for all the work you've been putting into this AGA. I was wondering if it would be possible to have a link for sent posts (or even an 'outbox' button) in the dialogue box that comes up when you click on the messages icon on the top bar.

Done!

- Does the [ imgzoom ] code no longer work? Here it is in an old post:
https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/competitions-activities/background-blitz-dragons!-results/msg636634395/#msg636634395

imgzoom no longer works; the plugin that provided it has been deprecated.  However, now all img tags will automatically be added to an image gallery that allows zooming.  Click on any img-tagged image and it'll launch the gallery:

I just experienced a problem. I can't post when I'm on a VPN. It gives me a CleanTalk error that I didn't save, but said something about being on a suspicious network. Given that I'm logged in to my account, this seems a bit strict.

I've gone through and whitelisted all the CleanTalk-blocked users I could find.  Please do let me know if anyone else mentions and issue though, and I'll add them to the list.

Turns it was just an admin setting to show or hide the post topic!  Reenabled now.

I haven't checked extensively, but maybe there is an option to change it? (In that case I apologise for wasting this space here.)

I've noticed that in the new forums, the title of a thread only appears once on top of the page, which is a minor annoyance to me until... I have to update the Hall of Fame thread, in which it has become completely unreadable, as it relies on the different subject lines assigned to individual posts to distinguish between the different activities.

I don't know whether it's worth reverting this behaviour (some people may abuse the subject lines for whatever purposes?) but IMO sometimes individual posts have different subject lines for a reason. It is currently very confusing.

I'll look to readd this.  However, in the interim, you can just hover over the post datetime, and it'll give you the post topic.

Not sure, maybe I'm just too stupid, but how should it work now?

You should see:

You have received one or more new personal messages.
View them now (in a new window)?

I got a pop-up that I have received a new private message and if I want to show it in a new window but no button to confirm. I could just close the message box.

This should be fixed now.

So I'm not sure why it's included in the "to do" list. What exactly are you planning to do with it?

I want to also add the button to the main forums index so it'll take you to your latest unread post in the listed topics.
