AlamoVampire Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 What are the chances the folks who run the code side of the forums ever reenable the green boxes we had as a visual indication of our reputation way back in the day? Even if its optional I think it would be neat. You know a way to honor where it started? 203603042021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that replies to the posts say stuff like "8 months later..." Expand The Dev Diaries were there, but not on the forums itself. You'll note at the bottom of each post there is a link to the full article (a much better read); that is where they were hiding. I assume that sub-forum was created to make them less hidden.

Expand Well yes I am aware they existed on that main website. But since the website isn’t the forums, those articles are not the reason all the dev diary posts on the forum are dated when they were originally posted.

Mythos Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 I just updated my KML in the tools subsection: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/133971-win-kml-persistence-file-editor/ (need to show the real URL because that's my problem) Well, the title "[WIN] KML - Persistence file editor" says it's a Windows tool. With the latest release I just added a CLI version, that also runs on Mono, so the Linux and Mac users are now welcome. The full version with GUI still is Windows only. So I'm not fully decided if to change the title or not. But the main problem I think about is: IF I change the title, then also the URL changes (right?). And of course I linked to the forum entry on GitHub, the README and within the application itself... Is there any way to link to the thread by ID only (the obvious try didn't work)? Then I could change all my dependencies and when that is done I might think about changing the title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, but also no. The forum ignores or re-writes anything after the thread ID, a dash, and one more character. So if the title changes, new links will look different, but old links still work. For example, CKAN commonly exploits this to truncate links, like this: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/133971-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargamel Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yes, as @HebaruSansaid, and I recently confirmed for myself, the thread is identified by the dash, not the title name. So your links should still work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
