Upgrades

I think out of those the most important to get sorted is Private Messaging. It seems like we'll need that more than the others but I look forward to all the updates.

Is it also possible to have things like Bold, Italics etc. on the post screen like on the old forums? Cos if someone doesn't know the code they might struggle.

There you go, BB code added above where writing a message. And also available for the quick post  🙂

The board is very narrow right now, especially on a widescreen monitor. I can just zoom in for now, but it might be worth looking at if you're thinking of adding themes.

Can add a wide theme easily. Will do it when I get home from work.

PM's are all set up. You now get a lovely flashing email button in the menu bar if you have a new message.

Quick update - I've been working on sub forums on my test server as I know they're wanted for the GM Game section. All going well so far. Just got to do a few more tests and then it looks like it'll be good to go.

Awesome sauce. Sounds great.

New skin available, which Chux might like since he uses a widescreen. Called Victory, and is a responsive one so works on massive screens and gives you a lovely sidebar for some extra content, and looks great on phones as well.

Sub Forums should now work. I'll send you a PM Chux about how to set them up.

Yep, they're working great. Nice work!

A couple of small jobs for you, Ben! How about centre text and youtube tags? And is it possible to add a little colour pad on the post message screen? That would be easier than the pop up. And how about text sizes?

Sure, I'll look into it. Will add it to the list of upgrades to look into.

The youtube tag now works. I'll add it to the BBCode help repository soon, but it's useable now. Seems that anything other than standard, I have to code in myself to use. Will work on the rest later. But for now, the youtube tags work - same as on the old boards as well, just need the end of the URL code.

Okay, the center tag now works as well.

[center]Centered Text[/center]

Centered Text.

How many font-size choices do you want? Just a smaller and larger, or do you want to have a few different sizes to choose from?

The old boards had 50, 85, 100 (default), 150 and 200. Something like that would be great.

New Dark theme added. I like the Victory style, so I've made a dark version of that which looks quite nice.

I'll look into the text sizes next.

Private Messaging is now sorted - there was problems with viewing them and they keep appearing down the bottom of the screen.

Default Avatars are now added.

Working on a new BBCode section. Might take some time, but it will be a lot better functionality wise (no pop-ups). Will hopefully also take into account font sizes as well.

Avatars were tiny by default, so I've allowed them an extra 50 pixels each way.

Font sizes now work 🙂

So they do! Sweet!

One bug I've found though, is that since you've got the sizes working the centre tags are behaving kinda weirdly. This whole post should be centred, but only the first line is doing it: http://www.4wforums.com/viewtopic.php?pid=94#p94

Also, is there any way to add clickable tags for sizes and centred text alongside the ones we already have for strikethroughs and italics? I'm guessing not everyone will realise we have them if they're not displayed.

Great work so far. I see what you mean about how customisable this board is.

I've had a look and  the center tag closes automatically (code wise) once you've pressed Enter twice. Can't change this unfortunately, got to work in this way to work, otherwise people would be able to center text in the middle of a sentence which just wouldn't work.

So with your headings you'd need to center them individually. For the text, as they're all one line after the other with no space in between, you can do whole blocks contained within one tag.

So...

[center][size=150]Text[size]

More text
More text[/center]

... will only center the header as there's a blank space between text.

[center][size=150]Text[size]
More text
More text[/center]

... will center everything as there's no blank line between text.

You can either do the second option, or you can work in in blocks like this:

[center][size=150]Text[size][/center]

[center]More text
More text[/center]

Working on a new better BBCode section which will include the center and size tag. Might take a bit of time as I have some other things to work on, but I will have a better one available at some point. Will also get rid of the pop up for colour when it's done 🙂

That work around could be a lot worse I guess, centring paragraphs individually. Cheers.

The new BBCode area I'm working on is coming along nicely. Got a colour palette, got a youtube and size button. Also been working on a spoiler tag which I'm actually quite proud off as it looks good. Want to look a bit more into the size button and the options with that and then I'll start implementing it onto here.

A draft forum so we can start one? I need to draft...

Good work Benny. Forum looks nice.
