Site feature requests

fixed.

gonna start working on an ignore function then i guess

posted 11 years ago

I've added an ignore function. Open the profile of whoever you wish to ignore, open the profile menu (arrow down next to the nick) and click "Add to Ignorelist". Your active ignorelist is listed on your profile page where you can remove people again as well (same as on esr really).

Currently the ignore function applies to comments, the forum activity in the menu, the recruitment activity in the menu and the forum lists. I didn't apply it to any news/articles/guides/polls/galleries/movies since i thought it would be better for those to still be visible. If you think otherwise please do tell. ;)

Also the ignore removes the entries, so no "ignored user thread" hide stuff. Same for the post comments, any replies to ignored comments are also hidden. The comments header which shows the amount of comments now also shows an info icon that, on hover, tells you how many comments are hidden due to your ignorelist.

That's perfect, just what an ignore function is meant to do.

Also agree with the contributions not being ignored, those rarely involve the reason of a person being ignored anyway.

Im thinking profile pic should/could be less wide and/or have more height instead.

posted 11 years ago

In my mind photographs are usually more wide than tall. :S

I've just added a new feature called "Quick Filters". Selecting a game sets a cookie for the current browser session (until the browser is closed) and filters the whole site for the selected game. Common categories like "plusforward", "general gaming", "offtopic", "hardware" are not filtered.

If you want to filter for more than 1 game you should create an account and change your account filter settings. Quick Filters also overrule the account filter settings when active.

Merging players don't exactly work (fucked up some duel ranking), and won't tell you which profile/nick gets overwritten.

Maybe it would be best to remove it for now :)

posted 11 years ago

Should be fixed.

posted 11 years ago

Would be neat if you were on the profile of someone you could send an imsg and wouldnt have to go to the imsg site.

posted 11 years ago

You mean like having an imsg popup?

posted 11 years ago

like in the dropdown menu where you can add to ignore list, or just a button that you click and then you can send an imsg

posted 11 years ago

There is already button like that, it currently sends you to the imsg page with the recipient pre filled. Do you want it to create a popup window where you can send the imsg without leaving the page?

posted 11 years ago

If there is one im literally too stupid to find it

posted 11 years ago

now there is, there wasnt before

posted 11 years ago

Yeah i just fixed that, i previously didn't allow new users to send imsgs and forgot the buttons still have minlevel "user" ;)

fix our teamplay on powerups.

also, the reply arrow looks too much like "jump to parent comment" arrow.

posted 11 years ago

Changed it... the jump to parent arrow that is. Can't do much about the other thing :P

judge comment not only to plus

posted 11 years ago

you mean you also want a "minus" or negative judgement?

posted 11 years ago

pecka

exactly

posted 11 years ago

Knowing people on the internet it would get abused to no end and really only serves to spread hate and negativity, i can live without that.

posted 11 years ago

It functions quite well on many sites (e.g. reddit). Depends how strict you want to be on filtering out sub-par content.

reverse plussing? ;d if someone accidentally [+]'ed another post/comment or changed his mind; as an idea: could be done by second clicking on plus option

Suggestions.. I seem to get a grey box with no info when I highlight things. Also I think the dark theme should be the default, much easier on the eyes? :)

posted 11 years ago

I'm not sure i understand what you mean by that. Highlight what, text?

Dark theme must be default in my opinion.

Nice site!

posted 11 years ago

a demo section! i know this seems oldschool, but pretty please :X

the dark theme should be default, in my opinion. great site! :)

/edit:

a way to ignore users that does not break comment structure would be awesome and i kind of like the hltv/esr way of letting people see recent comments and forum threads on the main (landing) page.

atleast for me that's my main way of interacting with these sites, news are only half the fun and information on them.

damnit, i need to take a moment before posting, another suggestion: remove google-analytics (half the world will block that anyway) and move to something like piwik for web analytics.

posted 11 years ago

I've decided on not adding a demo section (for now at least) for 2 reasons.

I'm trying to keep my webspace and bandwidth costs as low as possible and i currently only have 17GB of webspace free.
The demo section on esreality is more than dead and my general impression is that only very few people still care about them and most would rather watch vods since its more convenient.

Recent comments/forum threads can be found on any page of the site in the top menu. But since a lot of people complained about not wanting to hover menus i'm gonna add an optional sidebox to the frontpage with the same information.

Personally i prefer the light theme a lot more and it was also the one i mostly worked on, i put a lot less work into the dark one so i'm not 100% happy with how it looks or that its even complete. :/

posted 11 years ago

Ah okay, I understand. Space is cheap these days and demos are tiny, maybe (if this takes off) there'll be way to donate some to you? If we're onto adding space for tiny things: a config section would make a lot of nerds very happy.

I didn't know about the hover menus, but it's not what I like anyway - I want a quick overview of all the recent activity I care about, not hovering around checking out menus :p

posted 11 years ago

I'm using digitalocean since its cheap and very fast but they don't really offer a lot of space. I would have to look into alternatives for space if i were to start hosting more files. I'd rather not think about taking donations right now. :)

I can make it possible to attach configs to player profiles but only admins can maintain those. Speaking of which, i'm looking for people willing to help maintain that stuff. :D

posted 11 years ago

Let's see how active the site is going to be. once you think about more space, don't hesitate to reach out. I think a lot of us got older and are not alltimes broke anymore ;)

I'd help out with maintaining stuff, but: none of the games listed here has a linux client right now, which in turn means I'm not an active player - and I always, always hated admins that didn't play. that rarely worked out well in the end :p

posted 11 years ago

Concerning ignore, if you ignore someone, you don't want to see their comments but you still want to see replies to their comments? That would result in pretty nonsensical one sided conversations, no? :D

Thanks for piwik, i'll check it out but its rather low on my todo list currently.

posted 11 years ago

Very one sided, true, exactly how I'd want it! :p I understand the two not being high on your todo list.

It would be awesome if the player database of PF could start to include TDM ratings like Quake.cz does. Mostly because Quake.cz is so slow it hurts :)

posted 11 years ago

That's a "long" term goal of mine. :)

But that will require a lot of work from people maintaining match posts since i can't really automate adding those as opposed to what quake.cz is doing.

posted 11 years ago

lemming

Hm, you think you can achieve that goal without crawling games? I was hoping such a crawler could be used in a better/faster way than quake.cz is doing. :(
If we add stuff manually I guess people will just upload league matches.

posted 11 years ago

I wouldn't even want non-league games in that ranking anyway. ;)

Also apparently centralized quakelive stats are going away, so in the future there won't be any way to get match results automatically, not for qlranks or for quake.cz.

posted 11 years ago

lemming

What do you mean centralized stats are going away?

posted 11 years ago

Was mentioned on esr (maybe just a rumor) that centralized stats and match history are going away from quakelive with the steam exclusive release. Can't find the relevant post right now.

When im in the Forum section it shows all the new replies to threads i havent seen yet with 1*/13 for example, would be nice if that would show in the journal section as well (in the dropdown thing for the journals it does, just not in http://www.plusforward.net/journals/).

posted 11 years ago

Updated it, also did the same for the column and recruitment tables now. If you notice any other where its just the comment count without the indicator let me know. :)

posted 11 years ago

What about an irc chan/chatbox embedded into the site? It would be cool to have that open while browsing the site and chat with online users

posted 11 years ago

hint: there is already one, but its hidden :D

posted 11 years ago

That was just a test and i'm not sure how well it works :F

posted 11 years ago

Awesome! The only comment I could make is that I suspect the hidden-ness of the chatbox limits its usefulness

But anyway, if the idea is being played with then I'm satisfied :)

posted 11 years ago

It would be nice if image slideshows had a fullscreen or maximize option, other than right click > view image.

e.g. here, the images are too small

posted 11 years ago

I'll look into it, the library i'm using actually has a fullscreen ability for mobile but haven't found out yet if i can enable it for desktop use as well.

Edit: you can click on the big image now to enter fullscreen mode.

posted 11 years ago

perfect!

Add a tab to check ELO. +99999999 hits per day. (If thats even possible)

posted 11 years ago

I have had qlranks support built in but scrapped it again because once quakelive goes steam exclusive qlranks won't get any stats updates anymore. So kinda pointless adding support for things that are already known to become pointless. :)

I have even had it set up so when users provided their QL account there would be a QL icon next to their name in the comments which would give you the ELO info on hover.

posted 11 years ago

I think there are issues with that other than "it will soon be obsolete" - for example elo discrimination :D
