Hi,

i can't find a way to get the members list anymore, as it used to be possible. Was this function removed or am i getting old ?

removed, performance and security reasons ... you can use the search for names if needed ... to a degree

Since A3 is joining the 2000's era, why not the forum too? :)

The 100kb image size is ridiculous for today's standards but if you are keeping it anyway, why not remove this limit at least on the screens thread or the whole addons section, after all, people want to showcase their (hard) work and links or thumbs aren't the same thing. For example: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?167646-CSLA-Studio-A3-WIP

I would call revolting to remove and punish that.

There are a lot of hiccups on the forum the last couple of days. Are the hamsters exhausted ?

I had that video embedding bug a few days ago again. No idea why, but it acts like a link rather than having the video able to be watched from the post.

Would it be possible to get a Completed/released Scripts section of the forums? Because right now the current scripting section is more so for people asking questions and getting help. People who work very hard on scripts have their threads flushed away basically into the sea of threads. This would be similar to how mods have the discussion section and the completed section.

Not sure if this is the right place, but it seems as though Tapatalk support is broken? I don't recall any recent updates that may have caused this, but it started about a week ago.

nothing was changed on our side in relation to Tapatalk so it must be something else

After reinstalling Tapatalk, everything seems to be back to normal. Odd, as it was only the BI forums that were problematic.

These Interwebs are confounding!

  • issue #1 - its not possible to put screenshots in img tags uploaded to steam
  • suggestion #1 - add [anchor] and [goto] tags to make it possible to organize larger posts
  • suggestion #2 - add a tag which creates some boxes for better organization




issue #1


its not possible to put screenshots in img tags uploaded to steam:

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3280047996861147438/46F49F85601CAFAFB281C23AF167AF91E90216AD/ (565 kB)

http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3280047996861147438/46F49F85601CAFAFB281C23AF167AF91E90216AD/?.jpg (565 kB)

this should be fixed as ArmA3 is using activly the steam workshop + as long as steam is up (and the screen is not deleted) the screens are available which is not given by special image hosters (for example: http://imageshack.us)

suggestion #1


add [anchor] and [goto] tags to make it possible to organize larger posts:

according to http://forums.bistudio.com/misc.php?do=bbcode there is no way to create large posts and organize them propper without making multiple posts

this should be changed to make nice TOCs possible!

usage example:

[goto=chap1]chapter 1[/goto]

[goto=chap2]chapter 1[/goto]

[goto=chap3]chapter 1[/goto]

[anchor]chap1[/anchor] Chapter 1 - the large journy of something

--

SOME LONG TEXT

--

[anchor]chap2[/anchor] Chapter 2 - about anchors and more

--

MORE TEXT

--

[anchor]chap3[/anchor]Chapter 3 - why goto is not good in code but nice in forums

--

AND AGAIN MORE TEXT

--

suggestion #2


add a tag which creates some boxes for better organization:

Please add a tag which generates a simple box for a better organization of posts

as example i only can provide you a german minecraft forums bbcode for this:

You can put images from steam, it's just that your images exceed the maximum filesize (100KB I think) and are automatically converted to links.

For example by adding "512x0.resizedimage" (change the number for different image sizes) to the end of your URLs, you are going to be served with a smaller image that will pass the filesize check.

[img=http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3280047996861147438/46F49F85601CAFAFB281C23AF167AF91E90216AD/512x0.resizedimage]

512x0.resizedimage

You then can use the above image as description to a link that loads the full image when you click it.

[url="http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3280047996861147438/46F49F85601CAFAFB281C23AF167AF91E90216AD/"][img=http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/3280047996861147438/46F49F85601CAFAFB281C23AF167AF91E90216AD/512x0.resizedimage][/url]

SUGGESTION FOR BIF

* Ability to expand / collapse sticky thread sections for all (sub)forums. Some people aren't interested in seeing same threads all over the place all the time.

Home (index.php) section doesn't seem to be working properly at the moment. Boards/Threads are scattered all over the place. Anything below that seems to be function normally.

*Resolved*

On every other forum I use, I can view a list of topics I'm subscribed to, with a link to the latest post and to change my subscriptions, like this

XPlane_forum.jpg

On this site however, the closest I've found is this list

BIS_Forum.jpg

which has a seperate entry for every single post in each thread I'm subscribed to, making it pretty much useless for finding a particular thread I'm looking for. It's easier to find a thread using tapatalk on my phone, which does list my subscribed topics properly but then I don't like using that for posting replies, so I decide to leave it till I'm on my PC but then can't easily find the thread!

Am I just looking in the wrong place or does this forum have this unfortunate problem?
