forum improvements & feedback thread | UPDATE: forum re-skinned!

[aktrekker]

Your test page was blank and no media of any kind was loaded.

The TRLE forum is still clean.

Hey Driber I have a quick little forum improvement. Could you put in a link from Tomb Raider to Tomb Raider series general discussion? There used to be loads of mini-games in TR general discussion but they all seem to dry up now as there is no link there from new TR forum. Would be good to get them going a bit more again.

That is so strange, because I restored the TRLE forum footer just the way it was before to see if it would come back.

Is it STILL not showing up?

You mean a link from the TR9 forum to the TR general discussion area?

Where exactly do you have such a link in mind?

(screenshot would help)

Amazon is back again.
Maybe I still had a cached version of something the last time.

[Driber]

Yeah that could have been it. Okay, I again changed something. Try now.

[aktrekker]

That fixed it again.

[Driber]

Right, if you could, please check it once a day for 7 days. I'll leave it as it is right now and if it keeps away for a whole week, then I'm sure which little bugger it is!

[Driber]

I did some work on the [ spoil ] bb code.

It now has a description that it's a spoiler block, plus you no longer need to highlight it to see the hidden text; you can just hover over it with your mouse.

Highlighting still works, though.

Example: I have a confession to make. I have murdered a man in my dream last night and then I woke up and made me some coffee.

[aktrekker]

Still nothing on the TRLE page so it looks like you found it.

[Driber]

^ Yup, it seems so.

The weird thing is, though, that the thing which caused it was also in the footer of other forum skins. Odd that no one noticed it until now.

Oh well, I'll go take it out everywhere. Thanks for your assistance, aktrekker!

[Driber]

FYI all: I recently discovered that we had a limit of maximum 5 quotes for the forum's multi quote feature.

This has caused some confusion about why not all posts were inserted into the new reply window when users clicked on more than 5 posts to multi quote (vB doesn't warn the user about this limit...D'OH!)

I've ramped it up to 30 now, so that should hopefully be enough for when you want to comment on more than 5 posts at the same time

We've added TR moderator TranceTrouble to the list of Community Chat mods. He will be helping us here to keep this place free of those pesky spammers and taking care of those post reports from you fine folks

I know I am a little late, but congratz Trance!!!

It's that time of year again, folks. Just like last year, the community chat area of Eidos Forums will be decorated with the Eidos Fruit Christmas skin during the holiday season!

Additionally, we've replaced last year's banner with a brand spanking new banner sporting a nice cozy wintery theme, created by member FearEffect and yours truly.

And if it isn't already, you can also set this skin as your default for all other places that do not have forced custom skins, such as your profile page, PM page, etc.

- Go to your control panel options page
- Scroll all the way down and you'll see the option to set your preferred Forum Skin.
- Select "Eidos Fruit Christmas" and click on Save Changes.

In addition to the xmas skin, we also transformed a few key smilies into festive ones again.

Enjoy the festive forum during this holiday season

Now, bring on those xmas sigs!

[TranceTrouble]

awesome
even a christmas ball status
