1) Allow YouTube videos to be played right on the page instead of having to open a new window.

2) Is it possible to also put the "Forum -> General Category -> General Discussion -> Thread" naivator that's at the top of each thread to the bottom as well? It's such a pain having to scroll all the way to the top.

The forums will now auto-convert most video site links (youtube, google, metacafe, a bunch of others) into an embedded video, just post the link like normal.

No

Ok, I lied, I got it working with the default theme, but I have to manually set it for any theme that doesn't have it enabled by default (which seems to be all of them). Also, it no longer looks like a tree, but is inline.

It says there are 9 people using themes other than the default (I don't know who). If people want it changed for their theme and ask nicely enough, I might bother to do it. If the theme doesn't support it though, then you're SOL.

Yeah the problem with the breadcrumbs is that it's theme specific, which kind of makes it a pain to change around since people might be using different themes, and then I have to set it up in each individual theme too.

I might find something that makes it easier to deal with, but I haven't seen anything so far.

Could it be added for the "Babylon Theme?"  It's the most worksafe in terms of color scheme.  Thanks for the hard work, aqua.

Along those lines.  As difficult as it may be, can we attempt to keep the front page at a less then pornographic level.  I can finally visit the website from work again.  The bastards blocked the other site within a visit or two.

Ahah does that have anything to do with the fact that the old site had like "gnome porn" in the HTML meta tag?

It's fixed now, but, it looks like the code was modified somehow, which is pretty close to impossible. When did it break?

Eh, Chuck Norris already said he thought the facts were funny, the guy who is trying to publish the book is a prick trying to make money off stuff he didn't write.

Is it possible to have a "comments" section for the News posts?  I'm not even sure if that is something we would want or not.

It is indeed, if people want it.

I added it for the latest news post if people want to see if they like it. The comments won't show up on the front page, but if you click on the link to the article on the left pane (right above the shoutbox), it will display comments at the very bottom. You can also rate the article, which I don't think a lot of people know is available.


To officers, I don't think there's a way to enable comments automatically, so when you create an article, go to options (it's just above the editor box on the top right) and check all the boxes that talk about comments. If the article is already on the front page, there's a link to go to directly to the options at the bottom of the article.

The custom sigs that bag/binks have that span the entire screen are kind of confusing when trying to discriminate between individual posts.

Also, the [quot][/quot] background color doesn't match the theme now that the background is tan instead of grey.

I kind of like the quoted material standing out.

I am deferring anything that is aesthetic, like colors, to Duma.
