You copied code from ioi's profile page into your post and that messed up the code in your thread quite a bit. I had to remove your OP entirely to turn things back to normal.


I'm not surprised,I knew that this was the problem,I said it in a comment!:P But don't you think that you must do something in order to not this happens again when someone will do the same thing that I did?

I'll see what I can do. There's a balance to be struck between removing too much (which is what happened last time when centering, underline, etc. went away) and preventing weird bugs.

I noticed that some folks were giving recommendations in Machina's thread, but this is where Truck can see/work on bugs/fixes/new ideas/etc.

Here's something that might not be possible, but is worth a shout out:

The sig and avatar size rules are unintentionally broken all the time, and the mod team really doesn't want to waste our (or anyone elses) time by resizing/removing oversized sigs and avatars. So I wonder if there's a way to have set signature/avatar spaces, where pictures, gifs, and texts that go over the height limit (because the width is already set) are cut off.

Just a thought.

I don't know if it's a bug or the result of a work in progress, but after mergin gamrReview with VGChartz the "Latest Stories/Articles" don't sem to work as they should. There are still stories from March but newer stories from just yesterday like the merge of the sites are already gone.

If you mean the "Most popular on VGChartz" on the right side of articles. Yes that's something that will be updated soon.

He is referring to the articles on the left of this page I believe. Though, there's a high chance we're all talking about the same thing

A few things to add:

1. An old site glitch that when moderating a reply in an article, the subject post seen in the ban note is instead a random post from the forums.

2. Mods can only edit a post for an article when it's in the report queue. We'll need the ability to edit them outside of the queue, as with any forum post.

3. On that note, the ability to edit game wall posts would be beneficial as well. Once something is posted on there, it's on there for good.

Ooh I get what he's saying now. This was done on purpose to give VGC original content more visibility so the 10 first items are the most recent and the next 10 are the 10 last original articles/reviews/previews.

Here's what I want:

1. Proper timestamps for posts (VGC used to have this).

2. Additional timestamp for the last edit of a post (used to be a differently colored line with a smaller font). Since mods can edit posts too, you could think about adding the name of the person who edited a post ("Last edited by name on date at time"). That would save mods the time to write their names under moderated posts.

3. Timestamps that adjust to the timezone you've selected in your profile settings. Since this website is based in the UK, make GMT the default setting.

4. As extension of point 3, add a box in the profile settings that allows users to toggle on/off automatic adjustment to daylight saving time. The tricky part might be that the start and end of DST isn't universal, so that should probably be tied to the timezone that was selected.

I want to see at least the first two things being implemented by the start of September, so you have only five months to get this done.

Agreed with this! Would be great to have proper timestamps. VGC must still record the time of posts as the hours update at the correct time so that information is already there, just needs to be made public.

I'll most probably give the choice between the two in the user settings. As a Mafia player, the x days ago timestamps were not a welcome addition.

Yeah that's what I thought it was. No worries; just wanted some clarity is all.

Thanks Trucks!

Cone's right, I was talking about that, and thanks for explaining the reason.
