#96509 Increase/Remove The Limit of Likes

Posted by Feld0 on 29 July 2012 - 04:14 PM in Site News and Feedback

I thought I had this set to something higher than 10. :o

Good suggestion. I went ahead and raised the limit to an unrealistically high number (unfortunately, IP.Board doesn't give me the option to remove the limit entirely).



#175729 Arcade- WE NEED THIS :3

Posted by Feld0 on 24 February 2013 - 06:22 PM in Site News and Feedback

An arcade would necessitate an additional staff commitment to maintain properly, and to top off, isn't something I really see being all that beneficial to the goal of TheWiiU.com to be a discussion forum. In a time when the staff power around here seems to be going missing in action, it's not a terribly smart idea to add additional burdens when the existing responsibilities aren't being attended to properly. :unsure:



#74659 Avatar bug? (culprit found inside)

Posted by Feld0 on 25 April 2012 - 01:14 AM in Site News and Feedback

IP.SEO has been screwing around. This should be fixed now. Please let me know if you come across any other "glitched" topics like that.



#175688 I need help with -one- tiny thing on my profile.

Posted by Feld0 on 24 February 2013 - 05:43 PM in Site News and Feedback

That field is only visible to site staff and yourself, so there's no privacy issue to worry about with it. It will not be getting removed or made user-editable in the foreseeable future, as it is useful data for us.



#89611 Pony Theme Not Working. Again.

Posted by Feld0 on 23 June 2012 - 11:10 PM in Site News and Feedback

What even is this?


There's a version of the site with an alternate, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-themed banner at the top. Looks like the banner got glitched up during today's server migration. This has been fixed now.



#94125 Valve has officially revealed Steam for Linux - including L4D2!

Posted by Feld0 on 17 July 2012 - 05:29 PM in General Gaming

This is pretty exciting. Although we likely won't see the Linux version of the Steam client for a while, it's great to hear that Valve are actively working on porting it and the Source engine over. I have been considering a switch to Linux for some time; and although I'm aware that the vast majority of Steam's library won't be playable at launch, having the framework in place for Linux software delivery opens the door for developers to port their efforts over as well.



#175696 Chat kick problem request

Posted by Feld0 on 24 February 2013 - 05:51 PM in Site News and Feedback

IP.Chat isn't exactly known for being reliable. If you get kicked out for inactivity, just hop back in. Unfortunately, there isn't much more that can be done about it because it doesn't run on servers I control.



#175697 Liking in Chat

Posted by Feld0 on 24 February 2013 - 05:53 PM in Site News and Feedback

I can't see this happening, realistically. Apart from the fact that it isn't technically possible with IP.Chat, the ability to "like" chat messages sounds like it will bring a lot more bad behaviour than good.



#175904 Is anyone else getting tired of certain people spamming threads?

Posted by Feld0 on 24 February 2013 - 11:50 PM in Site News and Feedback

If you see spammy threads coming up, hit that bright red report button on the OP and they'll be taken care of.



#96512 Glitchy Chat Number

Posted by Feld0 on 29 July 2012 - 04:19 PM in Site News and Feedback

IP.Chat is a rather glitchy piece of work. It's hosted remotely on servers I don't control, and IPS are very slow with updates to it, so I'd attribute this to the software just not being quite up to par. Something we'll have to put up with, unfortunately, that is beyond my control.



#90156 Please explain "Item A is x times more powerful than Item B".....

Posted by Feld0 on 26 June 2012 - 07:30 PM in General Gaming

the only way to measure to truly prove which is powerful over another is a game looks better over each console for exacption Batman: Arkham City/ Armored Edition,


Even that isn't an accurate assessment of a console's power. Some developers are more experienced with one console than another and will thus be able to make a better-looking game on it.

The "Console A is X times more powerful than Console B" statement is a fallacy. While it is clearly possible to peg the Xbox 360 as more powerful than, say, the Nintendo 64, it is impossible to accurately quantify the actual difference in power in a single statement like that. There are far too many variables and differences both large and minute between most hardware systems to make such a comparison reliable.

There are times when such a comparison is possible - for instance, you can get a pretty good idea of just how much more powerful an Intel E5 processor is over an Intel E3 - but it gets increasingly more difficult to do so as the complexity of the hardware in question increases (comparing two CPU's is very different from comparing two complete consoles).



#177776 Automatically clear text formatting from a paste

Posted by Feld0 on 01 March 2013 - 02:22 AM in Site News and Feedback

CKEditor works best with pastes if you use one of the three paste buttons (in the red box):

Paste Options.png

They offer a variety of options for handling the formatting of the content. With that said, I'd advocate a simple link to the original source over reproducing the content, anyway.

This site is actually running on an older version of IP.Board, and a variety of changes have been made to the editor since then. I'll look into getting us upgraded, which might come with some improvements to direct pasting.



#89610 SQL Errors?

Posted by Feld0 on 23 June 2012 - 11:09 PM in Site News and Feedback

I moved all of my sites to a bigger, faster, and cheaper server over the past couple of days or so. I expected the migration to go very smoothly, but a server-side analytics package created a number of unexpected issues with the process. We're now up and running on the new server, though - hope you enjoy the speed boost! :)
