A question and a thoughtFollow

(Off Topic): Hey Psi, I see you returned to the old avatar- did the other one finally finish that banana?

Answer: Recently, nuked posts were changed so that they remain visable by Admins, the color change was implemented so they are easier to tell appart.

Tought: Forum specific sigs would increasse the amount of sig storage space for everyone, and it would be hard to implement in all forums without making so you could have a sig for each of the hundreds of forums, which would present somewhat of a server load issue. Maybee Illia or Danalog has a better idea on how to implement it.

Thought #2: That would require that each and every rating value you made was stored and then read each and every time you viewed a page. for someone with hundreds or even thousands of rates under their belt, (including the 2 you autom atically rate yourself every time you post) I imagine that would get very slow, booth for you and the server, very quickly

This is kind of a cool idea. Maybe give each person 2 or 3 that they can choose from in the options (user specified) and can be assigned to the different forums, or clusters of forums (like non-gaming and gaming), kind of like the avatar menu. I'm not sure how much coding would be involved in modifying the options menu, as well as allocating each person space for 2 or 3 sigs and marking different forums, etc... maybe some of the room used for personal files can be allocated to it, since they're text and wouldn't be that large, relatively speaking.



Another good idea.

The monster/item/quest forums are an older version than the big ones (I'm not sure how older). You can tell by looking at the very bottom of a page where it says "Forum system created by Illia v2.40" the older version does not show "v2.40" and I believe it's even older than version 2.0.



It's trying to convert a v2.40 signature to a < v2.0 system, which is like trying to convert a Word 2003 document to Word 2000. I think any new posts you make in the old version forums will have the signature show up correctly though.



One problem with this is the "dynamic signature", so you'd have to either eliminate it and integrate the signature code into the post code, or add a reference system where every post references a specific signature and if that signature changes than it only affects those specific posts. So basically you'd either have multiple dynamic signatures with cross-referencing (probably another join table added to the database) or non-dynamic signatures that can be added to posts and even edited within a post. I'm not sure which would be better.
