Mahz's Dev Journal

[Mitheral]

Excellent. Thanks. Looking forward to it.

@Mitheral

Every now and then Mahz drops a "what would you like to see added" suggestion field to the top of the forum. It's a good time to make those suggestions as ones like "more tags" were suggested.

[Mitheral]

I remember. But ... like I said ... memory like a sieve. If I waited for that, I would end up staring at the field blankly and just think ... "There was something I wanted to say ..." So far though, this site is better than the old one I was on.

I'm catching up on some PMs right now. As I've said in my status, I unplugged for a few weeks to handle some personal issues.

@Mahz

We know you'll always come back. Hope all is well!

Love the changes you've made in the last year or so. Well done man. Well done.

@Mahz

Welcome back! We all missed you. I baked you a cake, but... well... it was really delicious at least.

[Ellri]

we haven't made any cakes. All we've made is this black hole...

Regarding Zeroth posts:

I have noticed that, while the user thumbnail is hidden in the Zeroth post, the signature of the person who posted it is not. Perhaps the signature should also be suppressed on the zeroth post.

[Ellri]

agreed, @BBeast. Good idea.
@mahz This is a fairly easy change, right?

Hello. I was informed by Ruby to speak with you in this topic, about asking if we could implement the 0TH post to appear on every page of the OCC? It be a super useful tool, as it is a way I use to update the OCC. And I'd like to have at least one post that can be on multiple pages. Especially one that inform, updates, and keeps up with current events in the RP.

Thank you.

Also, I've seen a suggestion @Mahz that you should take out the Signature of the poster if you've taken out the avatar from the post as well.

(Personally haven't had the chance to use the 0th post.)

@ZayZe

0th post would be a god send if it acted more like a Sticky or Pin in the thread.

@AngelofOctober

People have discussed this before. Pinning it would need to be an option because gigantic zero-posts would be annoying if they were the first post on every page of the OOC (to the extent that it would make the OOC no longer worth using). I mean, page one is one button press away, so it isn't too particularly difficult to get to.

@Webmaster

I mean I supposed. But I'll be honest and say I like my important stuff on any of the pages I am at. Because having to go back to the first page every time, is just a hassle. Yes, I admit part of it is laziness.

But I also have run across people asking or PMing in my RP, "where is X information" and it's there on the first page. A post that you can pin and keep on every page means people aren't missing stuff on the first page because it will be on any of the pages.

@AngelofOctober

I'm fine as long as it can be unpinned.

@Webmaster

I can live with that

[Ellri]

One of the previously discussed options was this:
Zeroth post out in the open on page 1. (as now)
Zeroth post collapsed, like a hider, on all other pages.

@Ellri

Can the hider be optional?

[Ellri]

to make a hider optional on such would require more coding, but if such is written, then yes it would be possible.
It all depends on how much work Mahz wants to put into it and whether his code cooperates.

We see several options that some might desire to have for the zeroth posts:

• Only on page 1
• Visible on page 1, hidden on all others
• Visible on all pages

And of course some would probably desire this to be something that can be adjusted on a per-tab basis.
