Hello rundll.exe, There are a couple different variants of this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience. It has been logged and tracked and we are looking to fix these token expire/login issues, as well as the redirect to the home page after the login. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Hello Variable, Thank you for this feedback. These will be added if they are not already(some are) and tracked. The web team currently has many high priority items that has been keeping their schedule booked over the past few weeks, and will likely keep them booked for another while. These high priority items include all new features and functionality, most of which are for Arma 3. Some of these items have not yet been announced, and some can be seen like the pages and some of the back end work for the Arma 3 End Game Tournament: http://arma3.com/end-game-tournament We have not forgotten about the fixes and improvements to the forums and we do plan to continually address them. Thank you for your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Hello, Unfortunately Steam recent news system is an automatic system, which in case of RPS, displays articles with set tags (in this case Arma3) automatically. Neither us nor Valve can manually remove one particular article without making changes to how articles are automatically aggregated. We have investigated requesting/making changes with this in the past and if we are able to control this in the future we will. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Thank you for the feedback. We will look into this issue and we will test for it. The current forums search functionality is very limited, has several issues and is not our prefered choice. Unfortunately we are stuck with it for the moment. Our current plan is to replace the current search system with a better one. For this to occur we are evaluating alternative indexing and search systems that we can potentially replace the current system with. We will be testing these new systems along with our testing of version 4 of the forums software. The testing for version 4 will include testing and resolving all the other issues from the migration as well. For the time being, and I agree it is not as convienient, use Google advanced search, put your search terms of 2, 3 and 4 letter words in quotes in the "this exact word or phrase:" field and put the forums url http://forums.bistudio.comin the "site or domain:" field, and perform your search using Google. Thank you for your feedback. We do have a plan to better organize the main section of sub-forums with our testing of version 4. Its also likely we can make some changes ahead of that schedule, relatively soon.

It is planned to resolve this as well as to not render video's there. Tapatalk resolution is planned and will will be tested when we update to version 4. The update to version 4 is planned for the next main maintenance and it will include many other fixes, like the images and video to not render in quoted text. Along with many other fixes that have been waiting for the update to restore some feature from before the migration, features from the old forums. I currently do not have an ETA for the update, but as soon as I do I will update the thread and it will be announced. Thank you for your patience. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Good point, thread now locked. :)

Unfortunately we have an issue with the current search functionality of the forums where only words with 4 characters or more can be searched for. Sorry for this inconvenience. IT is working towards a solution for this issue. While it is not the most convenient solution, for now, you can use google advanced search: https://www.google.com/advanced_search and put https://forums.bistudio.com In the "site or domain:" field. Please refer to the following pinned thread on all current forums issues. As issues are resolved, it is updated here: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/184155-forums-migrationupdate-status-items/ Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Hello everyone! This new sub-forum is the place for people who are scripters, model makers and other editing/creation disciplines and the people who are looking to connect with them. This is the place to ask for help with your projects or for you to offer up your services to others who may need you. This is a moderated sub-forum which means threads and posts will not appear until the have been reviewed and approved by the moderators. This sub-forum is not the place to criticize or review others work, but compliments on others work may be ok. We will evaluate the rules and continue to gauge interactions here and additional rules may be added at any time. All regular forum rules also apply here. Please be descriptive with your posts. The more details you can provide, the better. Explain the work you need or the work you can offer and be mindful of your presentation and approach. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Cannot embed video content from ModDB. Like liveleak, unfortunately this is an issue with the way browsers do not allow http content within an iframe on a https site. BI Forums is https. If you have an example of another forums site that is https and allows for content embeding from ModDB, please let me know. Thanks for your feedback. The current search limitations have been noted and there is a plan to address it. When it is addressed, I will update the Forums migration/update status items thread here.

Hello Heeeere's johnny!, You should be able to capitalize your name by going to accounts.bistudio.com, change your capitalization, save, logout, make sure to also logout at forums.bistudio.com, then once you log in again, it should be changed for you. Thank you for pointing out the special character issue, this will be looked into. Hello maczer, Sending you a PM. -BohemiaBeck

Hello, The link should now be fixed. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

It is available, however might be slightly hidden for users. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, near the orange RSS feed icon, there is a link "Mark Community Read" and you can choose to have the whole forum as "Mark all as read". Best regards, BohemiaBeck

I talked with support. Users who ordered SE should be getting emails today with tracking numbers. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Sorry you are having the issue. I think that it is caused by the image size, 158 is 8 pixels over the height limit. There was a time after the migration where their was no restriction on the signature. Users who created or edited their signature during this window of time were able to use images without restriction. However, now the limit max size is 600 x 150. Here are the limits on signatures: Signature is limited to 5 images max, the maximum size a single image can be is 600 x 150(do not stack images vertically if the stacked images end up taller than 150px in height, 150px is the maximum height for combined text and images), maximum 10 urls, maximum 10 lines.

Checked with IT on the link, it seems ok without virus or threat from our test. However, it is suggested that users use well known established sites that are considered safe. Suggest imgur, flickr or other similar sites.

Sorry that you are having issues. I just did a test using chrome. I took the content of your post and created a test hidden post with the content. While I am not sure exactly how you want the post to look, I was able to remove the obvious blank bullet lines. To do so, begin to edit your post and click on the first lightswitch looking icon in the top left corner of the editor. This will turn off the wysiwyg and allow you to view post in just text and bbcode. I went through and deleted each blank bullet line, which look like: [*] [/*] This removed the blank bullet lines in my hidden test post and it looked much better. You can then toggle back to wysiwyg and highlight certain text and change font color and size, etc. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

A little while ago today the web team tracked down an issue and implemented a change to resolve it. The change should have now resolved the account Login button missing issue and the reported performance issue. Thank you for the reports, it is appreciated! Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Thank you for the reports. The web team is looking into the issue. Best regards, BohemiaBeck

Moving OP and reply to Addon request thread at: https://forums.bistudio.com/topic/184344-arma-3-addon-request-thread/?p=2910984

Hello, Sorry that you are having issues. What browser are you using? The editor is indeed not perfect, and the way it works takes some getting used to, but I find that it works pretty well. Some tips about using the editor: If you are pasting in text from another source, or copy and paste from another post for example, you will get better results with plain text if you first click on "options" gear icon top/right of the edit toolbar, and choose "Paste as plain text by default" before you paste in the text. Having trouble with some of the text in your post, try to remove the format by highlighting the text and clicking on the easier icon in the top/left(second icon) of the editor toolbar. Pasting in text in a format that has multiple blank lines to give space, there is an issue that the blank lines get removed. This is particularly troublesome when you want blank lines after using quoted or code text. BBcode is available, not all, but we are working on implementing all of the BBcode that was available in the previous forums. Unfortunately, there are many instances of old posts where after the migration, the BBcode was not re-interpreted or rendered correctly. We are investigating this issue and looking to fix those posts if possible. Here examples of the BBcode that can currently be used on the forums when creating a post: Use: [acronym='Looking For Group']LFG[/acronym] for the following result: LFG Use: [background=red]Red background behind this text[/background] for the following result: Red background behind this text Use: [b]This text is bold[/b] for the following result: This text is bold Use: [center]Centered Text[/center] for the following result: Centered Text Use: [code]$text = 'Some long code here';[/code] for the following result: $text = 'Some long code here'; Use: [color=blue]This text is blue[/color] for the following result: This text is blue Use: Please email [email=admin@mysite.com]the admin[/email] or My email address is [email]my@emailaddress.com[/email] for the following result: Please email the admin or My email address is my@emailaddress.com Use: [font=Tahoma]This text uses Tahoma font-family styling[/font] for the following result: This text uses Tahoma font-family styling Use: [hr] for the following result: Use: [img]https://www.bistudio.com/assets/games/arma3/box.jpg[/img] for the following result: Use: [indent=1]Indent this text to make it stand out[/indent] for the following result: Indent this text to make it stand out Use: [i]This text is italicized[/i] for the following result: This text is italicized Use: [left]Left aligned text[/left] for the following result: Left aligned text Use: [list][*]Unordered list[/list] [list=1][*]Ordered list[/list] for the following result: Unordered list Ordered list Use: [media] (video sites are currently supported:YouTube, MySpace Video, GameTrailers, YouTu.be, Vimeo, Dailymotion) for the following result: You can also use imgur and flickr galleries in your post like: imgur gallery[media]http://imgur.com/a/IMGURURLCODEHERE[/media] or flickr [media]https://www.flickr.com/photos/FLICKRUSERNAME/sets/FLICKRSETDIGITCODE/[/media] (there is an issue trying to put this media code inside a spoiler tag however, so avoid that for now) Use: [member=BohemiaBeck] is the Community Developer. for the following result: @BohemiaBeck is the Community Developer.
