Mahz's Dev Journal

@Mahz Was there an update to allow Gm's to see hidden posts in their topic? Or is this a glitch? _{Or did I miss a promotion to mod status? lol j/k}

[Ellri]

we can see such too in one of our RPs, @Lady Amalthea.

[Celaira]

@Mahz I have a suggestion for the player list page... thing? Maybe giving GMs a check box to click with the options:
Active
Inactive
Dropped

Which would then alter the page to reflect that for the player.

@Lady Amalthea

That shouldn't be viewable cause I was the one that removed it for you. O.o

[BrokenPromise]

I can also see hidden posts in my RP. It might be part of a feature Mahz is working on.

[Dion]

@Mahz How long until we can change our usernames? Possibly on a max-change thing, like once every 3 months?

[Penguinimus]

Just noticed the HTTPS. Major thumbs up.

@Buddha

Also additionally perhaps it would be a thing for moderators or admins to be able to change other usernames, so that old usernames can be freed up for people that want those usernames. I.e. I'd love to have the username Odin, but as you can see that's already taken by an inactive account. Of course, this would only work if we could actually change our usernames to begin with.

@Celaira

Maybe a kicked one as well, granted if that was added it would be nice if Gm's had a "kicked" list to make it easier to keep up with through out all their rp's instead of having to keep a separate one.

@Lady Amalthea

If there were a ban/kicked list, I would prefer it to be visible to GM/co-GMs only, however (showing as dropped to others). But it's not a bad idea.

@mahz i've noticed that the moment i start typing in the dialogue box, all the options (including "preview") disappear. like so:

[JBRam2002]

@Mahz - Thanks for the 0th post option! Makes combat really easy to work with when you have multiple GMs. Here's a 0th post in use right now~

@JBRam2002

@Mahz Seeing JB's 0th post inspired me with an idea, and I was wondering whether or not it was possible for 0th posts to also display on pages after the first if you wanna use it to, say, show the status of a battle occurring in the RPG. Or have a setting that allows GMs to choose whether or to display it on following pages so people who don't want an extra clunk at the top don't have to deal with it if they don't want to.

[Ellri]

It should probably not be too difficult to set it so that the 0th post is potentially visible on top of every page. If that is possible, it should probably be relatively easy to code it in much the same way as a hider for every page that isn't page 1. However, it is Mahz that can answer whether this is that easy, @Crimmy.

@Crimmy

I suggested the very same thing not too long ago since I saw the same kind of potential as @JBRam2002, though I still find that having to go back to the first page everytime you want to check on it (regardless of how easy it's to do so) is something that most players wouldn't do.

It's just wisdom gathered from my time here. But, if the 0th posts could remain on top of each page (whether in a hider or not), it would make the GM jobs of keeping track of certain things, far more easier.

[Undead Eyes]

@Grimhildr I have that issue too!

[Mahz]

@Grimhildr Thanks. Weird, I can't reproduce that issue. When did it start happening?

Also, I disabled /search til I fix it since it was bringing the database server to its knees.

@Mahz

the same day i posted in the dev journal about it.

right now i've had to make a pm with myself and keep editing and saving to see how it looks. not exactly the best solution, but it works.

[JBRam2002]

@GrimhildrWhat browser are you using? Perhaps an extension is messing with things? Have you tested in a different browser, updating your browser, or using incognito mode?

Not a tech expert, but it feels like a user-side issue. I'm on Google Chrome (both desktop and mobile), and I haven't had that issue yet.

[NuttsnBolts]

I've had similar issues before but it's always been solved by a page refresh. Could be a lag in the site loading and it's glitched out. Not a programmer so that could be all wrong. :P
