Chapters!

Right, new forum technology which you saw first here :wink: It's a thread-in-a-thread, and should be exceedingly useful for long threads where posts can be structured a bit better. Click on the contents above for another chapter...

There's a few bugs I didn't catch, so topic locked until they're fixed.. heh I pity the fool who ever uses anything mechanical I make :razz:

Hello :smile:

This could really help for maps if you had a structure for betas within a map. So you could have according threads and map listings for a single map that contained the betas within.

This looks really complicated...

/me fears 2 things..

1) the sideways list within a list could get immense with a few hundred posts.
2) we already have overlooked replies, this could hide them still further.

is there a way to "view all"?

I don't plan on it being in general use, but where the person who started the topic (or someone else) will be interested in all replies- e.g. in map threads, or in my 'site suggestions/bugs' topic- and where it doesn't matter so much if a random person misses a reply.

Hai :razz:

Wahh, craziness.

I love it!

Good job ! Especially for technical discussions, this could be fun :razz:

so whos robin?

and orph, on the second thing, wouldn't it be better if this wasn't on maps wich have already been submitted, and start it only with the next maps being submitted.

Sounds useful for when the inevitable flamewars start :wink:

hmmm.... this is bizarre

How do I choose which chapter to post in?

sweet idea... interesting to see how it will be used.

Can only the thread starter create a new chapter? And does it need to be specified as a "chapterable" thread when it is created?

You simply reply inside the chapter you're in, as normal.

The thread starter and moderators can add new chapters, in a chapter-enabled thread. Like I said it should be useful for instances where the thread starter is interested in what's going on in very long threads, rather than normal 'general banter' discussions, so it seems to me that only they should be allowed to organise it. It's all very new untested stuff, so if you have any suggestions or questions at all fire away!

OK, nice...

I chose the "Another chapter" chapter and then "new reply", but the
post enden up in the Introduction chapter... I can only post in this
chapter using quick reply

Maybe it's just me doing something wrong :biggrin:

I am batman.

test

edit: OK

So how do we make chapters, or is it only allowed to the thread starter ?

Wicked s**t!!!1111 omai

You can't, yet, unless you're posting about your map in the maps forum in which it's done automatically.

you kept that quiet.

Erm.... lep, when you click on the snark icon next to thread which supposobly takes you to the newest post since your last visit, well....it does not work, im using IE, it said that matt had mde the last post, but it didn't go into this chapter, maybe you need to look into that?

This is a damn good feature, Lep. Kudos on the idea / execution!

you kept that quiet.

no he didnt he posted aboot that in the 'site bugs/suggestions' thread
