Red Iron Crown Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 A moderator's account was compromised and used to place a "Hack" post, which was quickly moved to the Fault Vault. More info here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, [goto] tags never worked in IPS to the best of my knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceception Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Why isn't my post count working? I have well over 740 posts, maybe over 750 Edited February 29, 2016 by Spaceception Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Has there ever been an idea to automatically lock posts once they read a certain period of time with no post activity or viewing activity? Or would such a thing even be possible to prevent old ideas spreading and confusing people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would such a thing even be possible to prevent old ideas spreading and confusing people? It's been suggested (including by me back before I was a mod). While it seems like a good idea on the surface it kinda falls apart when you look more closely at it: - People would bump their threads to keep them from being autolocked - A thread being old doesn't mean it's no longer relevant - Threads about mods, particularly, often still feature functional mods even if they haven't seen any action in a while Basically, an occasional bad necro for the moderators to deal with is less bad than preventing all the valid necros and encouraging thread bumping.

adsii1970 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I know this might be a nightmare, but is there a way to that the forum could be allowed to set up sub-threads within a thread? An example of this would be @ZooNamedGames Real Space Program, A sub-thread could be set up for each of the various missions instead of having one massively long thread with never-ending posts. The benefits would be that all related posts could be kept in each sub-thread, much the way many of us use sub-folders within our documents folders on our computers... Just a thought.

Well, take a look at mission reports, including my own. People create links and have posts in their own thread that they update with information about different programs or missions they do. I imagine they can do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not possible with the current software. I follow that thread, and I can see what you're talking about as there's a high volume of posting in it. Some possible solutions: - Split off the chatter to an IRC channel or other medium rather than the forum thread - Start a new thread for each mission in Mission Reports, keep the main thread for planning/coordinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Hey, I have noticed that some announcments which we were allowed to post in are eventually closed. Just curious, what is the policy on how long announcement threads stay open for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, a question about the new forum +1 (rep thing, I think). Under the user profile, there is a link called "reputation activity" that when you click on it, there is nothing on the page. Am I missing something important or is this something that is in the works? Edited March 1, 2016 by adsii1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you accidentally a word. Not sure what regular users can see, moderators can see ban status in the block on the left under reputation.
