    Default Features Lost in the Rollback

    As the title says, I figured I would just make a thread to list out all of the features I've noticed missing since the rollback. Obviously none are urgent, but I figure once we get everything stable again, it may be nice to have a list available of things to add back in when there's time. So without further ado, here we go:

    • The "Thanks" system in themes other than the default.
    • News forum/bot/feeds from Kotaku and Gamespot
    • PSN/Xbox Live ID cards in profiles
    • /me hack (green text surrounded by asterisks, replacing /me with the name of the poster)
    • "Cookie Thief" automatic user title at 1000 posts.
    • Favorite smilies
    • Remove list of today's visitors(?)
    • Automatic topic lock at 3 months? Pretty sure that was there...
    • Set search wait back to 5 seconds


    That's all I've noticed thus far, but I'll add more later if I find any or remove if they're fixed.

    I also can't seem to find the button for the YT tags on the Advanced reply interface. I've no problem typing the tags manually, but I get lazy sometimes.

    Also, the "Previous Usernames" option in profiles. It's a minor thing, but I liked it.

    Thanks, guys. There are a few hacks we've made note of as things we'd like to see returned in the future, including the thanks button and the YT button. It's nice to see other things that we might have overlooked, thus far.

    I think the feature that automatically centers youtube videos should not be brought back in, the option is there to center them if people need to and it works (just checked there).

    Yes it is. I was trying to show Drageuth how to use it but it's not there!

    I'm guessing that's one of the arcade games?

    Alien Darkside was a username, if I'm not mistaken.

    Youtube embedding nearly fixed, simply missing images for it on the text editor. It'll embed full youtube URLs and also do google video now!


    example:




    Post Thanks nearly ready to go, it's available on the main skin atm.

    Image resizing installed and ready to go.

    Spam filters and one-touch ban installed.

    Some other back-end stuff is being worked on atm.



    Do you guys really want the news bot back?

    I suppose it's not really necessary, but I've been following the links from it to Kotaku since I can just look at the forum news and follow the links for the threads that show as unread.
