Thought up another 'feature' that would be nice.

It'd be cool if you could select in your control panel area which measurements you'd want to see (English or Metric).

And then create some standard for identifying them in messages and convert accordingly .

(I'll write an algorithm later, pretty busy with 'elib' at the moment smiley [addsig]

Measurements are so rarely used on these forums I can't help but think thats a total waste of time. [addsig]

If it makes any consilation ... I'm working on the ratio between real world and HL1/Hammer units (I'm getting close).

And I don't care if anyone thinks "it can't be done" or something like that. Because that's nonsense.

But, that'd be a cool conversion feature ... pointless, but cool.

However, Reno, there's nothing wrong with most everything on this site. So, all you can give are small feature considerations. Secondly, the point is. its used. And I've seen more measurements on this site more times then I've seen the terms "2nd" and "3rd", and Jeff wanted those to be altered.

In any case its a suggestion, not a demand. It would just be a nice feature. [addsig]

Fair enough, I reckon its clutter (its another option to set in preferences), but each to their own [addsig]

The 2nd thing is parsed when you make a new post, unlike a measurement converter which would happen on the fly... could do I guess, but meh, not fussed, everyone should be working in metric

Obviously.

That's fine if you don't do it, I really don't care, I just said it would be a cool feature.

on a side note, I found the conversion units
I'll write up some little php converter sometime ... with an option between inches and meters. [addsig]

Check out wil5on's new map, I posted a comment and it turned out like this on the post:
"2nd to last pic is a little strange with the sky, and some of the polies are a bit high in a few places (but you could probably solve that), other than that the map looks like a HLDM, I just dont know about the "gimmick" part." [addsig]

Omega, that isn't a bug. You're posting in the map comment area in Wil5ons profile.

BBcode/html isn't interpreted from posts. [addsig]

Possibly an extension for later pits, a map/friend "watch" system? Then you can keep updated on all your favourite mappers, and watch upcoming stars

I like it anyhow

Yeah I must admit I quite often check up on people's profiles to keep an eye on new comments from people and the like - it would be nice if I were just told when any were made. Rather than get spammed it could just be something like if that person's profile has changed at all in a day, you get a PM telling you, regardless of how big/small the change(s) was. [addsig]

That's a good idea. [addsig]

It is a good idea, and it shouldn't be too hard to do. All I've got to do is figure out a good place on this website to list all the things you're watching...

How about this: instead of telling you what changed today, it notifies you of the first new thing, then if there are more between this first new event and you going to the profile, it doesn't tell you, because you will see when you go there. That way you get a maximum of one notification per profile (even if there are additions/changed in subsequant days). The other way is just as good, I jsut thought this way might be easier to implement somehow.

Hmm, yours makes more sense to be honest. [addsig]

The easiest way to do it would just to list the items you're watching and the date they were last updated/changed; something like moddb's system would be fun but it's a bit over the top for a simple profile/map. I'll get onto it and all the other stuff in a few weeks after my finals

When you click on 'new maps' on the front page, it would be more appropriate if it automatically went to the page where the maps are arranged by date rather than the alphabetical list. [addsig]

Two ideas stolen from other forums:

A 'quick reply' box at the bottom of a thread page (non-java reply from within the thread).

Better integration of 'who's online?' by having a horizontal list of users viewing the current forum/thread at the top of the page (in the case of this forum, below the forum/thread title).

Quick reply is a good idea, although when I use them I always write too much for it to cope and I just get taken to the main reply page with my message wiped

Just added a map watch system, it's pretty lame right now but if ideas sprout up it can be changed/made spinkier. Visit a (beta) map and click 'watch map', and it'll be listed on the sidebar in your control panel.

Pretty cool. Quick reply would be great too. [addsig]
