Do you have a suggestion for the forums? Post here!

I've been having the problem as well, for the past month or so. At first, I thought it was due to some problem with my shitty internet services, but that theory just went out of favour.

it still works fine for me. which browser do you use?
I use Opera and the automatic login and "view posts since last visit" works both fine.

or maybe you've changed your security settings on your browser, so it deletes all cookies if you close it.

Making a member profile modifiable (like colors and profile picture). That would be good.

I have one more idea: I see that in the mod announcements that have too many mods of red alert 2, yuri, tiberian sun,etc... and this may get as me, some users can get a little confused and it will help a lot if you create a sub-forum in the red alert 2, yuri, tiberian sun and the generals forum for finished mod and another sub-forum for incomplete mods that when get over will be moved to the finished mods! Smile

Banshee · Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2008 2:44 am Post subject:

To be honest, at the moment I prefer leaving all mod announcements at one forum, otherwise it gets too cluttered... considering the low amount of mods for the newest games.

In adition to "view posts since last visit", "view your posts" and "view unanswered posts", another one that is "view today's posts would be really nice". It may seem redundant with "since last visit", but I think it would be very handy. (Either wanting to view a recent thread again that you didn't post in, or sometimes I am logged in on the homepage, but it logs me out when I enter the forums, so I lose all of the "since last visit".

I agree with DaFool. Revora has that "view Today's active topics" feature that allows users to see active topics of the day.

Nikademis Von Hisson · Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 3:40 pm Post subject: forums

I have a suggestion for the forums. Revamp the layout. When you click on a game tag such as Red Alert 2/Yuri have sub topics:

Shps

1) a link to download the Shp creator

Topic Threads
discussion on how to create

Vxl/Hva
1) a link to download the Vxl/Hva creator

Topic Threads
discussion on how to create

AI editing
questions on editing the multi player AI

Single Player Maps
questions on editing or creating of SPM, creating or editing the AI (SPM ONLY)

All INI files
questions on how to edit or create these files

XCC Utilites

1) A link to where these can be downloaded

Topic Threads
question on how to use these

Tutorials

Topic Threads
break each type of tutorial in to its own sub topic

How to create, edit Shps or put them in the game
How to create, edit Vxl/Hva or put them in the game
AI (MP)
Creating sounds
creating tileset
AI (SP)
how to extract files

MODENC

it would be a link to

Terrain Editing

A link to download the Tmp Editor
A link to download the Tmp Builder

Topic Threads
modifying or creating tilesets

Make people put the correct name as the topic, no HELP ME PLZ, or I have a question. Kick or warn those people who are not a little more specific in what they are trying to do.

If you look at the sub posts they are a clusterfreak of questions. make a sub post of each subject like I posted earlier. And I think the biggest problem is the tutorials or the lack of. reading the MODENC is fine, but some of the explanations are vague. I have found very few single player map tuts that are worth anything.Since Cannis.net is gone, I see my bookmarks for Moonman no longer work there was some help there. 90% of the questions would be gone if there was a good tutorial out there

Forget about that, it was a bad attempt at pointing out the stupid things people say without anyone batting an eyelid and the slump in quality this causes.

1. A new skin for the forum.
2. An editable profile page [like colors]. Also put a visitor message in it too.
3. Lastly, I suggest that this forum should be more friendly on me. I never did anything. Sad

file upload error messages should be more userfriendly.
If my attachment is too big, it doesn't gives me the error message when it starts uploading, but when it has reached the 5MB limit (what can be after a long time). Also other things like filetypes aren't checked until the upload is almost done.

Simply said, PPM should check the attachment for its validity at the beginning of the upload and not at the end.

There are no Generals moderators....cough cough

Easter egg makes no sense in a forum. And yea, Generals might need moderation in a later time. At the moment, it barely has posts to be moderated.

Dutchygamer · Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 5:18 pm Post subject:

Because Generals is pretty ignored around here?

Something I'd want,customizable avvie description underneath the avvie,same thing Revora has.

Banshee, could you fix the "Select Forum" bar so not the entire community can accses the Staff Forum (Only a small part though #Tongue

)

Banshee · Posted: Thu Jan 29, 2009 8:57 pm Post subject:

@Dutchy: I do not ignore it, but a good part of the community really does.

@Deformat: No. Here we have something called Custom Rank which is usually offered as a prize on certain contests.

@Liten: Done.

@ Banshee: DaFool and I will discus some stuff about Generals and how to make PPM more 'Generals-friendly'. Just wait and see.

Because PPM needs new blood. Generals modders blood to be more exactly. Without it, this place will die out, and that would be a great loss...

Mortecha · Posted: Tue Feb 03, 2009 2:43 am Post subject:

Well that would take alot of work in the first place. Firstly we cant just expect people who mod generals to come here just by having the available forum space.

We ourselves have to show initiative to get things started. The higher skilled modders on this forum need to start looking into modelling in 3d if they havn't done so already. On top of this modders need to make a decision and if they want too they should convert their TS and RA2 mods into Generals and cnc3 mods. I think TO will benefit from a move like this alot.

This will ensure a solid base to develope a generals based community from.

Shadow Hunter · Posted: Sat Feb 07, 2009 11:50 pm Post subject:

banshee, why you don't create a spotlight section in the red alert 2 maps, just tiberiun sun have one! Crying or Very sad

Banshee · Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2009 12:26 am Post subject:

The spotlight for RA2, Generals, C&C3 and RA3 maps exists. I simply haven't used it for pure laziness. Post the link of the maps that deserves a spotlight and I'll check them. Perharps, I can spotlight a couple of them.

Shadow Hunter · Posted: Sun Feb 08, 2009 12:50 am Post subject:

Banshee,i think it's better you ask for Aro that!

Anyway in the other suggestion topic he chooses somes maps that deserves a spotlight!

I damn hope not, TO etc would turn into crap mods in Generals, reasons are so long I aint going to post here.
To be frank if you want generals mods then go to a forums that specalises in them, its obvious most PPM aint interested. Atleast from what I can tell

Why so quick to judge? Interest takes a while to build and once people see tham modding generals here is an investment the community will sprawl with people who are interested.

I have no grounds for this discussion but no harm will ever come out of giving it a chance:)
