EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 As the subforum idea seems to not have worked out, we are switching to a new system. From now on it will be required that all topics in the game making forums (except the general discussion) have the following prefixes added to their titles: [2k] - This is for any RPG Maker 2000 topics [2k3] - This is for any RPG Maker 2003 topics [XP] - This is for any RPG Maker XP Topics [VX] - This is for any RPG Maker VX Topics [AGS] - This is for any Adventure Game Studio topics [AGM] - This is for any Action Game Maker topics [GM] - This is for any Game Maker topics [C++] - This is for any C++ topics. If you are using something other then what is above...chances of getting help are slim, but I'd recommend putting in the name of the program (like you see above with the others). I will most likely be adding this to each forum at some point unless I can find an easier way to post it. In either case, just keep this up for all currently running and future topics (I also recommend editing past topics that are currently not being run, but it's not required as they are basically closed and all).

Polraudio 122 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 Sounds like a grand idea. I will start editing my posts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 This is a really good idea. Hey, Pol, can we change the title of a topic?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 I didn't think so either, but what Polraudio just posted makes me think that you can... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nisage 31 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 So do we have to try and edit all of the forums that need those, when we make new ones, or both? Also, what does C++ mean again, I forgot :P? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 So do we have to try and edit all of the forums that need those, when we make new ones, or both? Also, what does C++ mean again, I forgot :P? C++ is a general-purpose programming language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 LOL! It is the base of programming for things like video games on the wii, ps3, and xbox. They build on it to make different compilers and such, but C++ is the base. It is also the same as a B- grade in school. xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 I think Pol is a mod in some forums. So he probably could. lolz. For some reason i don't have permissions for the Support area anymore. It would be nice to be a full mod so i can help a lot more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 You can't edit your titles? Usually if you do a full edit of the first post of a topic you made it lets you chance the title of your topic. That's about the best I know. I dunno why you wouldn't have permission to edit your titles otherwise. I'll look into the problem later when I can. I can't right now...not enough time.

Yea, even in a full edit i cant. Very odd. I even tried in other sections. The only place i can is Contests & Events and subs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 I think all members, or at least people with like, loyal rank or more should be able to edit the name of their topics, and edit it's comments. So you know, we can say [solved]. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Well complete control, I don't think so. I mean do you want a bunch of noobies running around deleing posts on their topics? People have som- GAH! MIGRAINE!!.....uhh.. Sorry. Anyways, some people have some good things to say. How would you like it if you made a large reply to something and someone just deleted that post? xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EmilyAnnCoons 7 Report post Posted March 20, 2009 Ok, the topic title editing thing SHOULD be fixed now...a setting was turned off...but I don't know if it will or not, cause the setting was on for the support team, but not for members, and it is polraudio (who is support team) that was having the problem. In either case, though, the support team should now have access to moderate all of the game making forums, like they are supposed to -nods- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
