Yeah, it appeared right after I posted that. So ignore my previous post. I think saving it (thread or post) as a draft then going back through UCP to post it works around the small bug. I'm sorry to bother you, Watashiwa.

No, it's fine, that's what we're here for.

ADMIN ABUSE: ATTENTION DUEL-AUTHORS!

As your friendly neighborhood supreme overlord, it is with great pleasure that I inform you that The_Ero-Sennin and myself have taken it upon ourselves to decide that you must link to your favorite fanfiction as part of your profile. This is much more interesting and relevant information than your age, name or gender. Frivolity is of course an acceptable response to our demand, but a thoughtful one is more likely to lead to consideration and thus quality fanfiction.

Look on my favorite ME fic, ye Mighty, and despair!

I know Ozy doesn't really fit, but I've been listening to Sapokanikan a lot.

Edit: I noticed after using Quick Reply that the Favorite Fanfic info didn't show up until I reloaded the page. Odd.

But I don't know, Wata. I just don't know. OTL

Brainwave: those of you having problems with search, are you possibly using adblock or noscript? I disabled both for TFF.
How do I shoot web?

And for the favorite story thing I'll need to pick one first

Re: fav fanfic field

Can we make that a hyperlink?
Not to my knowledge, I tried html but not bbcode. Trying bbcode now.

Edit: No for bbcode as well.

Also, quit messaging ME to bitch about the upgrade. Read the goddamn user title.
Wait, there are folks doing that?! :blink:

I approve of this! But what do you mean by 'dual author' ? We should have written 2 fics or something?

goes off to edit his own profile..

EDIT: I'm probably missing something obvious, but where do we make the edit? Inside the bio?

Yes. Two angry texts and a diatribe on IRC, at that point.

I'm just like wut.

I was feeling especially silly and imitating the announcerman from Yu Gi Oh The Abridged Series and his "ATTENTION DUELISTS".

The favorite fanfiction field is under "Edit Profile" in the User Control Panel(CP), the top left there.

I've just noticed something, the missing characters problem is almost solved, I think a little CSS magic to replace one character with another will finally fix it

Wata enabled HTML for it in case you want it to be a link.

Code:
<a href=https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5782108>Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality</a>

Let me butt in and snark that I hope you guys have left at least one review on whatever your favorite fic is
 
#44
Nope, the only time I review is when I notice something wrong. :p

Nope. Mostly cause I see him(Trahern) fairly often over on the Haven.

Some general complaints now that I've had a chance to look around...

  • Lack of auto resizing for images
  • Images and quotes showing up as actual images and quotes instead of code.
  • The http:// not already being highlighted when you click Insert Image or Link
  • The default font when I'm writing out a post.
But I'm glad to not see or need the code for bold, italics and whatnot. I'm just hoping it's not an all-or-nothing where you can't have that without quotes and images not showing up as code as well. :unsure!: 

Bullet points are soooo much easier too.

Damn, the Search function appears partially broken.

The error message I got when I used the search in the Rereading the [Naruto] Manga thread for "weeks":

Then I experimented with the general forum search and it seems like it works except when you want to Show Results as Posts, regardless of whatever other options you pick. Here was one of those error messages.

I made my favorite fanfic an original-fiction webnovel instead of fanfic because I am a rebel.

I've still got borked double-quote marks in my threads. Is there a faster way to fix that then manually copypasting affected posts into a text editor, running a regex f/r, and copypasta back into the post? That is the best way I know to fix it.

Features Wishlist
So I was looking at the existing myBB mods; I presume thats the list of "plug-and-play" functions that would be relatively easy to implement?

If it's theme options, I prefer white with blue accent. (I don't like dark themes, but realize this is perhaps unusual). I would prefer that the width of the forum autostretch to the available window; the margins on either side are deadspace IMHO.

I think a system like the Threadmarks that Spacebattles got recently would be nice; a more automated system to index special posts in a thread would be convenient for me.

If there was an option where the OP could set it so anyone could designate posts for that index instead of just the OP, I would like that as well. I suspect that isn't something watashiwa could easily grab and install, though.
