Well, not if they wrote it in PHP *cough*serversidescriptinglanguage*cough*

I think there are other ways ... but, yeah it will save it if you click on something then go back to the page.

But, Orph, did you click back then forward? or did you hit back and then click a link?

A save button would be the smartest way to do it, unless you really felt like doing a cookie save every so often time iteration (which is laggy and slow and will make everyone hate you) or you could do it on load/unload type crap.

Also, Orph, try writing out all your replies in a text editor first, I mean, then you wouldn't lose your post ... and you could make sure all your 'i's were capitals ... [addsig]

I second Cronos editing help suggestions, that place needs a massive overhaul.

also, we need to meter out harsher punishments for raging forum "n00bism" !

You could have something like 'n00bstrikez'. Which effect the snarkmark number. If you get a negative snark number your account is deleted ...

Or is that too harsh? [addsig]

Some people prefer just to host map pictures and get feedback, and stay out of the community forums, so that may be a tad harsh. Although something similar could help. I've had this account for about a year and 4 months, only really started using it now.

Yeah, but, if they're being a moron on the forums and such, then wouldn't you say they're openly jumping into the community forums?

I'm not talking about asking already answered questions.
I'm talking about things like misconduct on the forums. [addsig]

i have a 5 button optical mouse, the extra 2 buttons make pages go forward and back, depending on which you press.. i grabbed the mouse sleepy handed, and it went back.. when you consider that there is no forward page from the text box area till after you press submit, you comment had me giggling

and, most times i do save my text "ctrl A and ctrl C" but as i said, this time it was my mouse.. still i can back up or even go forward on PFL's version, several pages and when i return the text is still there.

all i am wondering is, how? and can it be implemented here is all..

could i utilize a save button?.. you bet. would i remember to? prolly not

and, i like lower case, the only time i use caps for the most part, is when the spell checker does it..

If you're on a page and you fill in form information then stroll through your history (that's what you're doing when you hit back and forward) the information will still be there.

That's most likely what PFL has, unless you click a link and go back and the information is just filled in.

I know you have a 5 button mouse, I gathered that when you said you hit the mouse back button.

And you can go forward in your history if you've gone back, as you said you did.

I imagine you just click a link to get back to the thread. Because if you went through your history the text would be there.

Give it a try. type some characters in the text box at the bottom. hit back, then hit forward. The text will still be there. [addsig]

I would suggest, since the mapping contests are over for half-life, adding an automated half-life mapping contest.

Basically, set up a program that would innitiallize a contest once or twice every year on a given date. It would start by issueing a poll on what the point of the contest should be (Which mod then what theme). then after the polls ended on a given date, another automated service would activate for map submission, bassically receiving and posting them as contestants. Finnally, at another given date, entrance will close, and an automated polling service would start. By the end of the contest, the map with the most votes would be declaed the winner, the designer gets a trophy image added to his profile and another award gets added to his maps profile. Perhaps have the automated system do the same thing with second and third place, but with different award images.

I had thought of this thing for a long time, but with my current lack of programming skills, I would never be able to pull this off.

If you don't like the idea because Half-Life 2's release is so close, at least get it set up so that it is automatically held once a year, and keep it running till the Origanal Half-Life hype has ended.

I hope you take this into consideration.

You should learn, and what better place to start then with PHP. It follows the syntax most other languages use and you can see pretty instant results (by uploading the page to a php server though).

Aren't you technically telling Lep to make himself some contest functions? [addsig]

When I click the "poll" button, all I can do is start a normal thread. Have polls been disabled for a reason ?

Sorry; they're working now. Changed the font a little bit to look a bit nicer, too.

This is minor.

But, if you have a post written and log out (or suddenly aren't logged in on the backend). The error message which puts what you wrote removes all the new lines ... so if you log in and it posts a non newlined post. Go arrays. [addsig]

The word filter doesn't go through poll options. I personaly had the occasion to check that out with a big F word in my last poll...

For the PM Inbox interface, might be useful to have a button "Mark all automated messages"; but then again, there's only room for what, 50? Worth the trouble or screen estate?

*goes back to corner*

an obscure request..

i cannot type and look at my screen, yeah i'm a big dummy.. but every so often i notice i accidentally hit caplocks and a big portion of my reply is now caps..

is it possible to incorporate a system, that when a portion of your reply is caps you can highlight it and switch it to lower case?? as in changing colors and fonts and italics??

i know it sounds stupid, but it burns my butt to look up and see several sentances in caps
