Vanamonde Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Yes, thread of the month. And as long as you guys are asking moderator questions, I will merge this into the moderator question asking thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLicor Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Do you mods see who reports posts or do you just see the report with the message attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also see who reports the post, which is important if we need to contact the person to ask for clarification if the issue is not clear.

Just Jim Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Would it be possible to add some sort of "Save draft" feature to the forum? Something like this would be super handy for those of us that write really long story posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not perfect, but if you write a long reply and then get disconnected, it is usually there in the editing box when you hit reply next time. Although a proper "save as draft" would be very interesting to see, that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very cool, thanks! And I understand most people probably wouldn't need something like this, but it would be nice if we could actually save a draft, and know for sure it will be there the next day, if need be.

That was very cool, thanks! I would definitely not recommend relying on that feature. For long posts like you make for Emiko, it would be much safer to write it down in LibreOffice or something and then copy/paste it into the forum. As far as I know, the forum software has no "save as draft" feature, and I couldn't see any plugins for that, but I'm sure @ManeTI will let us know otherwise.

I do like you said and always have a back-up in Word going as I write it. I just find it easier to write in the Forum, so I can see how it's going to look. But again, I learned a long time ago to back it up every few paragraphs. I just wondered if it was possible.

Jas0n Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've seen many people getting their logs snipped out of their posts in the support subforums because they cause trouble for the software. Should we report them when we see someone doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Job, I actually got the dropbox link and downloaded it, however, the first page is not the page you commented on, and I am absolutely sure it was you. It was 2 or 3 pages in, shame that wayback does not seem to have the other pages like this one http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/128414-1-0-x-FairingTextureSwitch-Switchable-Textures-on-Stock-Fairings!-July-11/page3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the config. It's quite simple. @PART[*]:HAS[@MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing]] { @MODULE[ModuleProceduralFairing] { @TextureURL = 00_Mine/fairings_smooth } } Of course, you may need to change that path and will need a png, dds, or whatever image file to go with it. I used a fairing texture from procedural fairings, from what I recall. I won't distribute because I can't be bothered to look up their licensing (This was from about a year ago, so for all I know it won't work anymore, but it probably will) Edited October 16, 2017 by 5thHorseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RA3236 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just reading through the guidelines to catch up on anything important, but this caught my eye: 4.3 Users under the age of 13 Users under the age of 13 who reveal their age or face may have their messages/photos removed and accounts closed for privacy reasons Didn’t this use to be 18 years old?
