The thing is getting someone to do it... lol. It would take literally a couple minutes to correct most of those things, and all that needs to be done is someone with moderator powers has to click edit and paste over a few links. We've been switched for a week, and I guarantee not everyone...

This could perhaps be an extension of Firice da Vinci's suggestion to have a weekly newsletter sort of thing for the forums. I recommended bringing it up with the rest of the event staff in Skype, so that's probably something you could throw in as part of the suggestion as well. The Forum...

Like my previous post said (which was made only a little bit before yours, so you probably didn't see it), one thing we are in dire need of is a proper technical administrator. Locke knows his way around things and is relatively tech-savvy, but he doesn't have the skill or time to make a lot of...

I always liked there to be at least 6, but more can only help. There's no real downfall to putting more mods on the team than you need. It not only spreads out the work and makes it so that you don't have to feel like you're constantly patrolling when you want to enjoy the forums, but also opens...

I don't think it's particularly odd to pick newer users, but it is probably a bit of a misfire to bring someone on who had just started visiting the forums again after a long absence. That shows what could be a lack of dedication, whereas a new member is more of an unknown. When needed, newer...

I would like to remark that there was recent conversation (a couple weeks old) among the mods about finding members who are more apt to visit certain areas of the forum (MD was one in particular that was brought up) and would be willing to be moderators focusing on those sections; however...

I'm with Mases. Like I said, there have been numerous non-staff members in the forum Skype chat over the years. Matt was one that did not even come to mind when I thought about who had been involved in the past. I don't and never did think that having people with valued opinions in the chat is...

How old members coming back after a while view the forums:

Then these changes should have been announced by them, and they should be taking the lead on them. You said you'd work on this stuff when back from the marathon, but it's really their job. I think it would help to establish them more as authority within the community AND solve a lot of these...

That's actually probably the biggest issue, not allowing or getting people to help with things that can't be fully attended to alone or don't have the time given to them to solve, which is why authority needs to be spread out more to let other people help with things Locke doesn't have the time for.

Forgive me for the blunt nature of the post you just replied to, that's honestly just a small tidbit that was part of something much larger. It's not truly the issue. I'm only going to be repeating what Repentance just said, but I believe the address of issues related to your administration...

I understand your certain reservations to the moderator group in general, and yours especially towards me because of your own removal from the group for some issues of your own in the past, but sarcasm and victimization isn't going to move the forums in any more of a positive direction than it...

Posts don't load in real time... I can't check new posts while I'm making an edit.

A little late for your reply, but I edited my post above yours to that effect.

Main discussion took place in the mod chat even then. Topics in The Office were seen as a way to get input from people who weren't around when discussion was going on in the skype chat. Fast-paced discussion can be a disadvantage when you aren't present, but it also has the advantage of simply...

It never migrated from the forums. Early 2008 and before saw all communication on Skype as a requirement. Instant messaging offers unparalleled convenience.

we aren't good enough gamers to have those they're reserved for the best gamers

Alright, I just thought that it helped things seem less "freefloating" on the webpage where labels appeared unassociated with the elements which they helped to represent. I've also never liked stark contrast, i.e. vastly brighter, solid elements on exceptionally darker, textured elements. That...

Can I make a suggestion on the theme? I think it would look better with a wrapper/container around the actual forums (the index body, forum view body, etc.) with a differing background so everything doesn't seem to "float" in space and look free on the webpage without some superior grouping...

No, I actually coded the gender display option. Locke would be able to add extra fields to the gender option through the ACP and then alter the templates to not display anything instead of a gender.

The forums are unrelated to the main site and its content; however, I assure you that our content writers on the main staff are gathering information on LBW, and it will be available soon. Some parts of the content pages have lower priority than the others and will be completed at later dates...

I totally agree, and that's something I see with the moderation team from time to time. Obviously I'm in a bit of a situation that may lead to bias, still close with the mod team due to my previous position as admin, so often I try to rationalize moderator behavior even if it may not necessarily...

This is to help reduce server load. Though it's not an important consumer, it takes power to be able to refresh the shoutbox, especially with the quick refresh times we have set. Aside from that, there is a refresh button that appears in the chatbox itself when it goes into inactive mode that...

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. It's the first time Locke's done it so he just didn't edit the phrase for it. It'll probably be fixed soon.

All that were removed did exceed the size restriction. I believe they images are still in the database to where I could check them, actually. I personally checked the dimensions of every image and removed them selectively. As for those that remain over the size restriction, they have likely...

This is intentional. Though the gold should be above the showcase. I cannot replicate this.

We have our current name change policy for a reason. To do this would go against our policy.

We've recently allowed users with over 100 posts to access the Site Projects subforum of the Private Boards forum. This is what you should be able to see: The Site Projects board is currently unused, but we are working on a way to utilize it and want to get established members of the...

Added That's what the Hylian Knight rank is for. They're recognized by staff and others of the rank for their posting quality on the forums and promoted as such. If you don't like the way the Hylian Knight rank is now, know that that's what the rank you're suggesting comes to. If you think...

That's silly, but yeah you can choose to not display your gender at all.

I've added gender to the information displayed in your post. I'll work on adding a symbol here in a little bit. As for the forum games, we really don't have a concern with that. It still helps with some things, and we know who is a spammer and who is not. I don't think the little...

All Article Writers should be able to do these things now.

I have given poor posting quality warnings to users who posted in threads instead of reporting them in the past.

It is not possible to remove the character limit from Forum Games or Visitor Messages. The character limit is applied forum-wide. Feel free to take means to bypass the character limit in the forum games and VMs, but don't try it outside of those areas.

Copy and paste the text you want to quote and wrap quote tags around it. Example: I copy and paste the above statement and wrap quotes around it. All you have to do is click the icon in the quick reply box. Copying the link from the top right of the post box and adding the last...

We studied this earlier and it's just a little quirk the blog system has. It would require a bit of time to change and is not really necessary, so we left it as is. Exactly like that. Random phrases and the such work fine. Just make sure not to bypass it outside of the forum games and...

We have the character limit in place for a reason. It used to be 100, so be happy with 30. It's to encourage better posts. It's not possible to remove the character limit on a single forum, which is why Forum Games still has a limit. Feel free to bypass the character limit however you feel in...

It's still located under the "Forums" button, but under a new name. It says "New Posts" instead of "Today's Posts". It has the same function. "What's New" at the top of the forum index has the exact same function as the "Today's Posts" link that you see when you logout and the "New Posts" link...

The forum groups feature offers the ability for users to create groups for other users to join. Right now their only purpose is as a social feature, and we don't have any intention of adding clans.

Quite a time-waster indeed... it wastes so much time that 50% of the posters in the forum games haven't made a single post in any section except for the forum games in the past week or more. What Pocket Asian is getting to, is that certain people have been overusing the forum games. As in, they...

Hold down CTRL on your keyboard and scroll up or down. It will change the page size, making everything bigger or smaller. It may (slightly) blur some images if you change it too much, but it works very well with text sizes. It could be possible that this is already done to one of your computers...

There is a thread in this forum(the community forum) that is entitled Zelda Dungeon Forum FAQ. Down below the part explaining the forum and all that and the reputation there is some other frequently asked questions. There is one explaining the colored names on the forum.
