Here caliban, lets test. I will post the real word then the fake word.

REAL WORD: **** your ass
Now the fake one: **** your ***.

How's that? First one should be uncensored.

Oh I'm sorry, was that not in good taste? My bad.

Haha, ok I see now what's happening. Thanks thatguy and DAaaMan64.

I have one request that I don't think was mentioned.

Is it possible to make the quoted text larger so that I can actually read it without having to look a little harder >squint<.
And do the quote boxes have to be purple?

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #128 on:** March 03, 2008, 01:04:33 AM »

Yes, bigger quotes would be nice.

It'd be nice if posts made before the switch were in order. Old posts don't show up in search results. Old smilies, spoilered text, and links don't work.

they do appears in searchs to me...

the fact that old spoilered text doesn't work sucks though ;_;

The fact that I can't reliably tell who someone really is with all this name changing is becoming a major annoyance. Is there any way that we could we at least still see the original names in profiles?

all the recent namechanging is due to the lastest Mafia game... a reference list here

I noticed that some really long user names have been truncated in the transition. I take it there's a character limit now. What is it, exactly, and does it affect both user names and display names, or just one or the other?

I finally figured out what was up. Long names weren't truncated. They were just not being fully displayed thanks to this new forum software's tables varying with window size. I didn't realize it until I resized my browser window and saw some more letters disappear.

Anyone know how time is calculated. Mine says I've been on here for 22 hours total and I know for a fact that I've been logged in doing things on the new forum for much longer then that.

vudu · « **Reply #134 on:** March 13, 2008, 01:37:05 PM »

I think every time you load a page your time logged on it updated. So if you log in and then sit there for five minutes and then click on a thread/topic/new page your time will update. However, if you don't load a new page within a certain time limit (I think 10 minutes, but I haven't experimented throughly) the forums will not give you "credit" for being logged on for that time period.

Make sense?

I have a question about the Forum Rules.

Quote

Advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are also inappropriate on on Nintendo World Report Forums. This includes links to Auction Sites, Adult-Oriented sites and imagery, any blatant advertisement for another website, and any sites depicting any harm to a cat.

My question: WTF?

we just want to make sure that this never happens:

No because I'm pretty prolific.

The lack of a NEW indicator is really annoying, click on the wrong link or scroll a bit and the auto-scroll to the first new post won't help you.

oohhboy · « **Reply #142 on:** March 19, 2008, 04:29:32 AM »

There is a bug with the jump to selector thing. When you first select it, it only shows the current forum you are on now. Then you let it go, after a second or so you can click on it again for the full listing.

It is pretty minor, but I guess you guys would want to know about it.

MegaByte · « **Reply #143 on:** March 19, 2008, 10:50:56 AM »

Do you have slow internet/computer? It does indeed only show the one at first for me, but the other options quickly pop-up before I have time to do anything else.

UltimatePartyBear · « **Reply #144 on:** March 19, 2008, 12:06:51 PM »

Seeing the Wii number option in the profiles reminded me of something I mentioned a long time ago, and even if it does sound unreasonable, it can't hurt to ask. I think you could do away with the friend codes forum entirely if we could just store all our friend codes in our profiles. Ideally, this would be part of a game library tracking feature that would give us a place to keep track of the games we own along with links to NWR's news, reviews, screenshots, and forum topics for those games. There'd also be links to search for other NWR members who own those games, making it easy to find friend codes.

I'm sure that's too much work.

MegaByte · « **Reply #145 on:** March 19, 2008, 12:42:31 PM »

I'll keep that idea in mind for NWR 2.0!

oohhboy · « **Reply #146 on:** March 20, 2008, 06:26:15 AM »

I have a DSL connection so, no, I don't have a slow connection. The page is fully loaded. The forums isn't flash r us.

The computer is a little sluggish, but can run modern software. I did just updated to camino 1.5.5 2 weeks, so that might be it, but I doubt it since this is the only place it happens and I go to another forum running the same software with no issues.

But yeah, It has only been happening for the last couple of days.

Wait... so what is this?

Or did you mean the main site?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #148 on:** March 21, 2008, 02:18:37 AM »

Hey megabyte, I got a feature request. Can you make the spoiler tag work for both the word "spoiler" and "spoilers"? I always forget which one to use cause I'm retarded. Hopefully I am not alone.

oohhboy · « **Reply #149 on:** March 21, 2008, 08:49:52 AM »

You can use the glow button. Replace red with black.

Although I would like to have a dedicated button for it.
