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.

To download and build:

Code: ags

git clone -b ags https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/prism.git
cd prism
npm install && npm run build

@morganw seems to work?

Try again?  I've changed the default behaviour of the cookie div to be hidden, so if a user has the cookies or scripting disabled somehow it just won't show.

As a Firefox user (v102, Linux) : I cannot close the banner for agreeing use of cookies.
(no × item to close it).

It is always here and doesn't disappear when i click on a subject or a sub-forum.

I've tested with Chromium and it's ok : i have the × mark to close the windows.

I have disabled uBlock and uMatrix extensions (thinking may the closing-cross was coming from the outer-banned-space), with no changes.

I worst case, a rule in uMatrix will hide the banner, but hey. May there are cleaner solutions.

Thank you.

It works fine in Firefox on various Windows and Mac versions.  No idea what the issue is on Linux, but unless you can give me an idea of the actual issue there isn't much I can do!  Do you see any errors in the developer console or networks tab?

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.

Couple of more things I've noticed...

The new forum requires embedded YouTube player links to be just the video ID inside of a [ youtube ] tag. This is (a) pretty inconvenient to input, (b) a baffling mystery to casual forum members, and (c) breaks old posts. I recall that the old forums at one point worked this way too, but it was changed. Is it possible to reapply the tweak?

So this seems to be caused by SMF 2.1's having some built-in support for YouTube, which clashes with the YouTube mod.  This is why there are two YouTube icons in the post formatting box.

I've posted in the YouTube mod's support thread, but no guarantee they'll add a workaround for this.  So for the time being at least we'll need to live with the IDs only option!  I can at least do some database magic to update all the YouTube tags to only use the IDs.

To Do

PrismJS implementation.

CleanTalk issue.

Unicode characters corrupted.

[imgzoom] and / or [img] issue.

"New" icon on forums list.

Done

Theme descriptions.

Site links in navbar.

Image link to homepage.

Private message notification no link.

YouTube supports ID only.

Spoiler tag is fixed.  I'll look at the other things when I can find the time!

It's annoying, but it looks like it's only valid top-level domains that cause this.  Game.Camera creates a link, but Game.NotARealDomain doesn't.

I'll see if there's a known fix.

Yeah, unfortunately the SMF upgrade scripts seem to have mangled the Unicode, as happens so often.  I'll need to hunt them down and fix them.

Right at the top, between your username and Alerts.

I'm just wondering, why the header now looks like this:

Fixed!

PS: I've also notice that the ">>" symbol that was next to the last poster on a thread, is gone.
I do realize that I can click on the "Last post" link, and go to the very last post in the thread... but the ">>" used to take me to the last one read (? unless I'm remembering wrong)... I miss it, since I used it all the time.

The post header on the landing page (e.g. "Re: AGS Website Redesign"), or last post time on topic listing page (e.g. "Today at 17:14:27") will take you to the most recent *unread* post in a thread.  If you've already read all the posts in a thread it will of course take you to the last (most recently posted) post.

I'll look into the CleanTalk errors.  It would be a great help if you could please give me as much detail as possible if you see if happen again.  URL, timestamp, post content etc etc.

I dunno about the failed rendering, but I've decreased the code font size. This is the closest to the normal post text size the plugin will allow, the next-smallest is unreadably tiny.  The CSS is delivered by a CDN, so quite awkward to update.

the lifetime achievement, the little heart, disappeared from the avatars!

Argh, I spent aaaages digging around in the code to work out why the icons were visible in dev but not prod.  Turned out it was because the database caches were out of date after the release.  Should all be fine now.

@Cassiebsg "Show unread topics since last visit" linked to "?action=unread"; "Show all unread topics" linked to "?action=unread;all;start=0", "Show new replies to your posts" linked to "?action=unreadreplies".  So https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0 should give you what you're missing?  I'll readd it at some point.

This is now implemented.

Hmmm...the list of games a member has worked on in their profile page is now sorted alphabetically instead of by date. I don't know if this is a conscious design choice or coincidence. Personally, I liked having the newest entry on top.

Fair point!  I've fixed it.
