Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 8 hours ago, Wingnut said: I think that is what Dad72 is trying to get, and there might be some misunderstanding, there. Dad72 wants Rich to change our mode. Rich might think that Dad72 wants something else (like special customizing of the mode we are currently using). Wingnut thank you understand what I mean. Yes, I too would like a mode like 'phaser'. Jerome, I think that DK has successfully transferred all of a sudden about (it must have check box for each subject for every move, it should not be too difficult.) I understand that change forum would be a difficult task, it would be best to find a friendlier forum here, but that does not depend on us. When Rich came regularly, nobody said anything, why not have reacted before and asking to have a forum as desired. My English is approximate and can not be understood correctly, but you, your English is better, maybe Rich would have better understood. Why not ask your questions right here. Rich follows this forum and could understand you better than me : (This is not the right topic here for requests) http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/19806-forum-upgraded/?page=2#comment-113718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 *nod*. Problem is... I am not authorized to ask Rich to change modes. The big question is still... if we change modes, do we lose the categories automatically? Many seem to WANT categories, here. Maybe we MUST be in "Q & A Mode"... to allow having categories. Maybe I should read the docs for the new forum software. Generally, I would be GLAD to ask questions to Rich... but I am not sure what to ask. And it would be good if I didn't look stupid, too.

GameMonetize Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 What is the problem with Questions forum? I like the "mark as answered" feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I made the picture to explain here DK http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/19806-forum-upgraded/?do=findComment&comment=113581 The second image is bad, it would be better that the first image in the question and answer forum. adam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think everyone wants the same thing. Everyone can present his views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameMonetize Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 But is it possible to get this on questions sub-forum? It is a different kind of forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes it is possible DK. if you go to 'News' is like that. in 'Bugs' it's like this and 'Projects', same thing. There are only 'question' in this forum is not consistent like the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ok, I guess I understand what Dad72 means. All the subforums have the right expected behavior (like Phaser forum or our old forum), except the Q/A section... because this one has un-needed features for us, and disturbing ones. Maybe could the Q/A section become a standard sub-forum just called "Question and Answers" (and without any dedicated stuff about questions, like votes, stars, best answers, etc) ? Am I right, Dad72 ? I personaly don't know what's good or bad in this forum... I just know, after 2 weeks of use, that I can't easily retrieve some friends chatting here and there so the global live cohesion seems to be gone imho, although this organization is maybe better to sort and search things.

gryff Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have to agree with Dad72. I find the layout of the Q&A subforum - odd I have just visited all the forums (fora?) and subforums (subfora) at HTML5 game Dev and the BJS Q&A is the only one that has this "votes/answers" stuff. Reminds me of comment sections in cheap tabloid newspapers. I'm also bugged by the listing of all the names of people currently on all the forums when I am just browsing the BJS forum. I've really tried to not comment too much on this topic - to let the new structure settle. But ... cheers, gryff Dad72 and jerome 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 agree also ... the full list of people online, even when they are on any other forum, is really (to me) a regression Maybe the main point breaking the former conviviality.

Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yes, you understood Jerome. I talk to have everything in the forum and forum to present the same thing Gryff also understood what I mean. Thank you. I do not understand why this Q & A forum is not like any other. Rich told me that he needs a manual, but I think he has not understood what I meant. maybe someone can explain better than me. agree also. the full list of people online (why). And others. this forum is not an evolution I feel. I grieve that my translator could not translate properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryff Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Quote that I can't easily retrieve some friends jerome, I find it harder with some names than others. I just tested "jerome" - took me 15 secs to find you. However, much easier to see "Dad72" in the list - capital and numbers? cheers, gryff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryff Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Quote but I think he has not understood what I meant Dad72, I never have any trouble understanding you. Probably way better than if I tried to respond to questions in french. cheers, gryff Dad72 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I think my translator translates properly and sometimes the other awkwardly. It also depends on my French. If I make mistakes in French, translation becomes distorted in English. Samuel Girardin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameMonetize Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you reverse Q&A to previous state, we won't have the mark as answered option. I'm fine with that. and you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gryff Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Quote If you reverse Q&A to previous state, we won't have the mark as answered option. I'm not really happy with that DK. One of the benefits of the old "answered" mark was it showed how busy the forum was and that people were getting answers. The new "tick" for "answered" is not as good - until you understand that a tick means answered, a tick could mean just a good question to go along with the "vote" stuff. Seems like this issue makes a good definition of "a rock and a hard place" cheers, gryff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad72 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I also preferred the previous state (like other sub-forums) that seemed cool than current is troubling and less convenient. On the old forum we had a button to mark the subject as 'best answer' who was more convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Does anyone know what forum software this is? Maybe there is a plugin that can add the best answer feature to a regular forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
